Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition is a conjectural name for this article. If you know the official name or have a better name or translation, please contact a wiki administrator to change it.

Not to be confused with the original Plants vs. Zombies or Plants vs. Zombies: Original PC Edition.

Plants vs. Zombies: Original Edition (植物大战僵尸原版, pinyin: Zhíwù dàzhàn jiāngshī yuánbǎn) is a Chinese-exclusive version of Plants vs. Zombies based on Plants vs. Zombies FREE, repurposed from Plants vs. Zombies 2: Evolve. It is developed to be a mini program on platforms such as WeChat due to the lack of official downloadable version of Plants vs. Zombies in mainland China.

Gameplay[]

Note: PopCap has devoted enormous effort over the years to bring additional game modes that were once only available on the PC into the iOS and Android platforms. This page will only show the design differences that affect how players would gain access to each game mode, but will not dig into the details of the game modes.

Adventure Mode[]

Main article: Adventure Mode

The Adventure Mode differs from the old versions in that it features a level selector, allowing players to select any previously unlocked levels and replay those levels. Noticeable design features of the level selector include:

  • The level selector consists of five tabs representing the areas: Day, Night, Pool, Fog, and Roof.
  • Each level consists of a thumbnail representing the level, and an icon representing the plants or items obtained from that level.
    • The first, third, sixth, and eighth levels will show the new zombie encountered on the thumbnail. (The only exception is Level 1-1 which shows a Flag Zombie, which was first encountered in Level 1-2)
    • The second, fourth, seventh, and ninth levels will show the regular Zombie on the thumbnail.
    • Plants obtained after each level are shown under the level thumbnails.
    • Items and Notes are represented by a smiley Sunflower icon.
    • Clicking on a locked level or trying to start a new level with 2 saved progresses will emit a sound identical to the sound when Jack-in-the-Box Zombie opens its box.
  • Players at one area can preview the levels in the next area at furthest. For example, if a player is currently on a Day level, then he/she can preview the Night area levels, but not further areas.
  • The Suburban Almanac can be accessed from the level selector.
