These are more sketches for an early Wasabi Whip with those same images on the bottom-left

Bombegranite's final design, featuring some impressive shading and lighting!

Concept art for an unknown plant weilding a wand, similarly to Rose

This shows the same plant as before, only it gives more detail about what it would do. It seems as though this plant would turn zombies into Puff-shrooms with magic. This could mean that it is an early version of Witch Hazel, as that's exactly what she does.

A picture of Imp Pear, with a design that is practically the same as the final version

Similarly to the picture of Imp Pear, this image of Pyre Vine is identical to the finished product

Trivia

• The unused flying plant resembles the Garlic Drone, Rotobaga, and the Cycloque. Among all of these, it resembles Cycloque the most.
• The Miner Zombie's ability resembles the Digger Zombie's ability in the first game.
• The Artichoke plant resembles the Artichoke plant in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
• The Scarecrow-like zombie possibly could have crushed plants with its scarecrow. Similar to the Surfer Zombie, but does not have the ability to surf.
• The Mammoth Wall-nut may have been the inspiration for Primal Wall-nut.
• The unused pineapple plant closely resembles Spinnapple, a plant exclusive to the Chinese version of the game

Beta gameplay

Before the release of the game, these are the graphics that were going to be used.

Plant Food

Plant Food Bar

The player got the Lightning Reed

The player got the Chili Bean

Seed packets

A screenshot of gameplay

Another a screenshot of gameplay

Power Ups

UI concept art

The following images are concept art done by Noah Maas. Tactical Cuke, an unused upgrade or Power Up, can be seen. According to the first three images, it seems that the seed packets were like the first game's seed packets on mobile devices. The second image showcased that plants were once going to be leveled up like in the Chinese version and the menu button appeared in the seed selection screen.

Beet

Beet from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures was originally going to be in this game, until Bonk Choy took its place. Had it not been scrapped, it would have been the first plant from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures to be added into Plants vs. Zombies 2. Though, Plants vs. Zombies Heroes has used a very similar design to the scrapped Beet as a nod to his appearance in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures. This was due to the early artistic influences from the cancelled Plants vs. Zombies Adventures in development of PvZ Heroes.

Beet concept art, including its Plant Food ability

Beet (Animated)

Flower Pots

The Flower Pot was seen in concept art. It was going to be used in worlds without soil or sand, similar to the Roof in the first game, such as Dark Ages and Pirate Seas. These pots are called "crappy" pot, regular pot (like the one from the first game), perma-pot (or gold pot) and hover pot.

The pots had upgrades and had different tiers. For example, the "hover pot" would allow plants to be planted on any surface. Soon after, the concept was deemed to be too "tiring" and scrapped. A year later, this concept was picked up and put into use in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Plants are now able to be upgraded via First Aid Kits.

Big Wave Beach

This version was changed from the coding as of the 2.7.1 update. On June 20, 2014, PopCap developed the world "The Beach." The Beach would only have 20 levels like Dark Ages, however it was later changed to 25, and finally to 32 levels.

Beta/Unused text

• Big Wave Beach's previous name was "The Beach".
• "The Beach" description: "Check out the beach, it's hot. Get it? Hot!"
• Tiki Torch-er was originally named "Coastal Calamity".

There is also scrapped dialogue from what was originally The Beach - Day 10.

Unused/Beta Bulb Bowling features

A giant version of the bowling blub was going to appear in Bulb Bowling. Although only in Day 8, as no code exists for it on Day 24. It functions similarly to the Giant Wall-nut in the mini-game Wall-nut Bowling 2 from Plants vs. Zombies.

Frostbite Caves

Ice Age world preview (unfinished)

• Before being renamed, its concept name was Ice Age. It advertised as having "+16 Levels! +3 Plants!," and a total of 19 items.
• Icebound Battleground was originally named "Frozen Fear." The introduction text was originally:

[NARRATIVE_DANGER_ROOM_INTRO_ICEAGE_1]
{NPC_ENTER:crazydave}{SAY}Hi neighbor! Welcome to Frozen Fear!

[NARRATIVE_DANGER_ROOM_INTRO_ICEAGE_2]
{SAY}It's even more challenging than the Slushee of Sorrow!

• Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 BC was originally named "Zombot Mastodon-otron."

Unused Barricades

Non-colliding barricades exist, which let the player plant above them.

Unused level

File:Plants vs. Zombies 2 Hidden Level - Frostbite Caves Day 24B !!!

There is an unused Frostbite Caves Locked and Loaded level, that has all of the plants frozen in ice blocks. The player starts with multiple Hot Potatoes installed on their corresponding seeds. Name level stays as is and would have been before the current version of Day 24.

Trivia

• It was the first level with multiple versions of the same plant, with five Hot Potatoes (not counting imitated plants). Furthermore, it is also the only other level where all the tiles are pre-planted on and frozen; the second being a step in Electrical Boogaloo.
• It is the only other level not to feature ice floes, the other being Frostbite Caves - Day 30.

Lost City

Early Gold Tiles

Gold tiles functioned somewhat different in earlier versions of the game. They would give 100 sun instead of 50, did not give out any upon first planting, and had a 25 second wait time instead 20. It was also tied to some sort of in-game event. If you had a number amount of plants on gold tiles during a certain point of the game, it would drop a bunch of sun if you were winning (had the number of plants on gold tiles required), or take away sun if the zombies were winning (not enough plants on gold tiles).

Gold Tile Prototype - Unused Level - Plants vs. Zombies 2

Unused achievement

Can't Stop the Rock: Defeat 5 zombies with a single boulder trap. The achievement was proven to be too easy, as even a zombie itself can achieve this for the player in Lost City - Day 22.

Neon Mixtape Tour

Early name

According to the string files of the credits of the 3.9 update, Neon Mixtape Tour is referred to internally as "Mondo Mixtape Tour" (MONDOMIXTAPETOUR), which could mean it was possibly an older name or another developer name. However, the game internally refers to Neon Mixtape Tour as "eighties."

Early lawn

The early lawn was identical to the current one but has red cups all over the place. These were likely removed due to having a reference to alcohol.

Jurassic Marsh

• Jurassic Marsh's prototype name was Mesozoic Marsh.
• Mesozoic Marsh (old name of Jurassic Marsh) in Part 1, would have only had 2 dinosaurs (raptor and stegosaurus).
• In Part 2, there would be 3 dinosaurs (T. Rex, Ankylosaurus and either Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus, or a new dinosaur).
• In version 4.1.1, Cold Snapdragons home world was set to Jurassic Marsh, meaning it was originally unlocked from playing Jurassic Marsh instead of being a premium plant.

Modern Day

Unused Beghouled Power Up

There is an unused powerup in Beghouled which was cyan in color and a shovel appearing to fill a hole. Its usage in-game is unknown, though could be a function to fill a crater left by an eaten plant, like in the first game.

Unused achievement

99 Undead Balloons: Prevent Balloon Zombies from crossing the 5th column. The reason for this being removed is possibly because Blover can easily blow Balloon Zombies away easily before they can even reach the 5th column.

Unused worlds

Tutorial World

There are codes for a tutorial world, in which the first four tutorial levels could have been played again like normal levels. This was later scrapped for an unknown reason.

Pieces of the world

The note

LowResNote.png

Prehistoric World

Before the android release, there was data for a world simply named "prehistoric." Nothing else existed for this world, except its existence in the world map selection data.

Time Twister

Time Twister was originally in the game files, but it was later removed. It would have been the final world, composed of features from all the previous worlds. The idea would later be incorporated as Modern Day, as both contain previous world gimmicks and zombies. The name was later reused for a Piñata Party event, and the world icon was later used for the game mode Penny's Pursuit.

Beta music

Pirate Seas

File:UNRELEASED PIRATE SEAS MUSIC (Plants vs. Zombies 2) (Laura Shigihara)-1589109804

The music that plays in Crazy Dave's second transmission is an early version of Pirate Seas's music. It was also composed by Laura Shigihara, all of which was confirmed here.

The unused track's original form is available from Shigihara's YouTube video..

Dark Ages

Found in v2.3.1, these tracks could be heard in early trailer footage for Dark Ages.

Beta Plant names/functions

Plantable in-game Marigold

Although not unused, Marigold was originally meant to be plantable in-game, but this idea was later scrapped and became only available in the Zen Garden. If made available to be planted on the lawn (either via hacking or other means), Marigold would produce silver coins, but will eventually fall asleep after a period of time. If fed plant food, she will produce a burst of silver coins and then disappear.

Changed into Moonflower, although unknown what it could have originally been since it functioned exactly like Potato Mine, probably as a placeholder.

Unused Plants

Tactical Cuke

Nothing much is known of what it could have done. It was later reworked as a power up for the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.

Tactical Cuke seed packet

Seed packet image

Dark Ages

Before the release of the 2.3.1 update, some mushrooms were found in the code. These were later replaced by the new plants in Dark Ages.

Pult-shroom

It would have lobbed projectiles at a steady rate, but slowly increasing, and lobbing more projectiles over time. With each spore dealing 40 damage per shot, and 200 DPS for its Plant Food spore. Its cost was 75 sun, and had a fast recharge. It functions a lot like Blooming Heart does.

Pult-shroom in the Almanac

Pult-shroom in the seed selection

Vacuum-shroom

Had the same toughness as Wall-nut, and it would have acted like Sweet Potato. Plant Food would give it a shield like Wall-nut as well. The vacuum effect has a 3x3 range. Its cost was 25 sun, and had a sluggish recharge.

Vacuum-shroom in the Almanac

Vacuum-shroom in the seed selection

Roto-shroom

It could have been manually be set to the direction the player wants it to shoot. Capable of shooting in eight fixed directions, with each spore dealing 20 DPS. Its cost was 175 sun, and had a fast recharge. This concept returned as a different plant in Frostbite Caves - The Rotobaga.

Roto-shroom in the Almanac

Roto-shroom in the seed selection

Dart-shroom

Could only be planted on the first five columns on the lawn. Its darts did 33 DPS. Before the 2.3.1 update, it was scheduled to appear in Locked and Loaded levels. Its cost was 100 sun, and had a fast recharge.

It functioned similarly to how Chard Guard functions now, knocking back zombies. It also would vanish after 10 seconds, like Puff-shroom. Its cost was 50 sun, had a range of "Touch," and had a very slow recharge.

Evil-shroom Speed

An unused plant which was simply a placeholder test for the orange evil potion. When eaten, it increases the speed of the zombie who ate it. Its cost was 50 sun, and had a sluggish recharge.

Evil-shroom Toughness

An unused plant which was simply a placeholder test for the purple evil potion. When eaten, it increases the toughness of the zombie who ate it. Its cost was 50 sun, and had a sluggish recharge.

Big Wave Beach

Coconut Bowler

This plant was an early version of, and was replaced by Bowling Bulb, although its projectiles dealt consistent damage, each one dealing 100 DPS and were angled more. Its cost was 10 sun, and had a sluggish recharge. Most of its properties seem to have just been placeholders.

Coconut Bowler - Beta Big Wave Beach Plant - Plants vs. Zombies 2

Bamboom

It would have functioned like its final counter, Banana Launcher, although had 1 second reload time and a 3x3 splash area that dealt 4000 DPS. Its cost was 10 Sun, and had a sluggish recharge. Most of it properties seem to have just been placeholders.

Sprout

Sprout was originally meant to be used in the Zen Garden instead of small plants, but was ultimately scrapped. Strangely, it was later given code to be plantable in-game. It was associated with an unused mini-game where one would plant a few Sprouts before the game started. Looking at the plant's code, it appears it was meant to grow to another plant, that being a Sunflower, Peashooter, Wall-nut or Tall-nut. This plant was accidentally exposed in the Neon Mixtape Tour, Side B Dev Diary.

Sprout Endless Zone card

Lost City

Sun Pod

Has similar properties to Pea Pod. It would grow a head for every 500 sun you had in your bank. Its cost is 300 sun, and has a fast recharge. This plant was accidentally exposed in the Neon Mixtape Tour, Side B Dev Diary.

Sun Pod (Patched) - Scrapped Lost City Plant - Plants vs. Zombies 2

Sun Gun

A single use plant that would have attracted sun, then would have shot it out towards a zombie with each shot dealing 150 DPS. Its cost is 75 sun, and has a fast recharge. This plant was accidentally exposed in the Neon Mixtape Tour, Side B Dev Diary.

Mini Peashooter

Mini Peashooter shoots peas at zombies like Peashooter, although they only 5 DPS. When fed Plant Food, all Mini Peashooters on the lawn will create duplicates towards to front or same column if there isn't enough room. It will not create any towards the back of the leftmost Mini Peashooter, even if the lawn becomes full. Its cost is 25 sun, and has a fast recharge. Mini Peashooter can not be boosted by Appease-mint, although its seed packet shows that it is in Appease-mint family. Its peas will not turn into fire peas when passing Torchwood, and can not be reflected by Jester Zombie.

Mini Peashooter - Upcoming plant - Plants vs. Zombies 2

Burnade

Burnade knocks a zombie back, and after a set time, the zombie explodes, instantly killing the zombie and dealing damage equal to the "infected" zombie's health in a 4x3 area. Plant Food gives it 3 uses before expiring.

Burnade - Upcoming plant - Plants vs. Zombies 2

Icy Currant

Icy Currant is an unused plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Nothing much known about it beside its seed packet texture. It was added in 2.2.4. update of the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 as a fully fuctional plant, being an ice variant of Electric Currant.

Early zombie names/functions

Ancient Egypt

Unused almanac entries

Variations for the Camel Zombie once had names and description headers, but were ultimately grouped into one entry, leaving these unused.

Pirate Seas

Unused Pirate Barrel almanac entry

Barrel Zombie's barrel once had its own description with almanac icon.

Unused Treasure Yeti costume

There was going to be a Wild West costume for Treasure Yeti, but it was scrapped for unknown reasons.

Far Future

Early Disco-tron's theme

Sound	Description
	An early version of Disco-tron's song.

Dark Ages

Beta Peasant Zombie

Had simple placeholder sprites, being a recolored Future Zombie.

Beta Dark Ages textures

Big Wave Beach

Early Zombie Names

Many of the zombie's names changed in the final release.

Neon Mixtape Tour

Early Neon Flag Zombie Emblem

Instead of a brain, Neon Flag Zombie used to have a written the logo of ZTV, a parody of MTV. This was still used in the Piñata Party teaser icon.

Unused Zombie idle animations

MC Zom-B and Breakdancer Zombie's unused idle animations in a modded Not OK Corral level

MC Zom-B and Breakdancer Zombie have unused idle animations that were probably going to be used in the Almanac and seed selection. By modifying the game, it is possible for MC Zom-B and Breakdancer Zombie to play these animations. Punk Zombie also has an unused dancing animation but has since been removed since Neon Mixtape Tour Side B.

However, these animations were reused in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 for when Pyro-shroom's Plant Food ability was used.

Despite their removal in the Side B update, these animations reappear in the game as the animation for when Snap Pea is about to eat them. Also, they are briefly seen when the Zombot Multi-stage Masher summons them in Neon Mixtape Tour - Day 32 and Modern Day - Day 34, but they are never properly used.

Roman Zombies

Unused almanac entries

Similarly to the Camel Zombies, 2 of Roman Shield Zombie's variations have full unused almanac entries.

Unused Zombies

ZombieProto

It was either an early version of the Basic Zombie, or a test zombie used for debugging the game while it was still in development. Only sprites for the zombie existed. It was removed in later versions.

Sprites of "ZombieProto" which all what was left was a dot

Hero Cleopatra Zombie

cleopatra

Was meant to be used by a scrapped event which you would go and fight her, similar to the Zombie Yeti. She walks for a brief moment before doing a dance, summoning 4 Mummy Zombies on adjacent tiles next to her.

Far Future

Deflector Zombie

future_protector_veteran

This zombie was made late in development, and mentions Holo-Head Zombie. But it was cut due to not being much of a threat.

Deflector Zombie protects himself with a powerful force field that stretches across 5 rows.

Deflector Zombie saw what Shield Zombie was doing and decided to do the same thing. Only he had a strong urge to do it better. So he stole some of Holo-Head Zombie's sweet technology and made a indestructible force field. Enough said, now all the other zombies are jealous.

Mech-Cone Zombie

mech_cone_veteran

An upgraded variant of Robo-Cone Zombie. He absorbs 200 normal damage shots, and he's faster than Robo-Cone Zombie. Was cut due to Holo Head Zombie taking this Zombies place, and not being tough enough.

Dark Ages

Imp variants

dark_imp_cone, dark_imp_bucket, dark_imp_crown

According to their names, they were going to be three other basic Imp variants: conehead, buckethead and crown.

Thief Zombie

dark_thief

The zombie would have spawned/sneaked up to the first plant in its column and steal it. From there it would have either disappeared, or walked towards the right, giving you enough time to regain the stolen plant.

Knight Zombie

dark_knight

Unlike the final Knight Zombie, it was going to have slightly less health, approximately 1505 HP and was going to be able to deflect straight shot projectiles, although could still be harmed by lobbed shots. Deflected shots can still harm other Knight Zombies. Its concept was most likely reworked into Jester Zombie.

Barrel Zombie

pvza_barrel

Its function is very similar to Pharaoh Zombie, almost the same except with different stats. It is named after the Barrel Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures.

Sprites

HD pvz_barrel

Blacksmith Zombie

dark_blacksmith

This zombie could make helmets for other Peasant Zombies, it had to first assemble approximately 5 parts of metal that would take 1.5 seconds to make and then it would make and give a helmet to the zombie that is closest to the player's house, it could also upgrade the zombies who wore these helmets. The Blacksmith was later replaced with Zombie King.

Gravedropper Zombie

dark_gravedropper

Would have used a gravestone as its helm, which could also be able to absorb overflow damage like Pharaoh's sarcophagus in earlier versions of the game. Whenever it reached a plant, it would slam the gravestone into place. It would then begin to walk at a faster pace, or do so when its helm was destroyed.

Wizard Zombie

wizard_zombie

Slightly different from the Wizard Zombie in the final game, this version would have shot projectiles at plants which would turn plants into sheep instead of zapping them instantaneously.

• This was later on tweaked and implemented as Wizard Zombie's Plague Pharmacy Ability in PvP Mode on the Chinese version of this game.

ZombiePet

pet

A zombie which can only be spawned by the unused feature "Zombie Spawner." Its stats are similar to Basic Zombie, but it walks slower.

Lost City

Totem Dropper Zombie

Totem Dropper Zombie would have dropped objects to create a totem, and would have required 3 objects in a pile to create the said totem. The totem would have then afterwards summoned an Explorer Zombie. It might have been a prototype version of the Imp Porter.

Early powerup names/functions

Power Flame

Had a much longer though less narrow reach.

Power Flame before the 2.7 update

Unused powerups & upgrades

There are several unused upgrades found in the code.

Bacon

It is unknown what it does, but there are some text related to "Collectible Bacon" in the files. You can tap the little "X" on the side to add 1 bacon, although costs 10 coins, with the price increasing by 10 each time. The amount of bacon bought cannot be saved.

• Description: Collect Bacon. Because Bacon.

Upgrades 1.png

Collectible Bacon and other upgrades

Powerup Duration 1 & 2

Increases the duration the power-ups can stay active, even single use ones, which allows for several uses per one. Two exist in the game's files.

• Description: Increases the duration that your powerups are active.

Valuable Mowers

An upgrade that makes lawnmowers give two coins instead of one.

• Description: Drops more money for each lawnmower at the end of a level.

Color Change Vase

Lets you change the color of a vase, for example turning a brown vase into a green vase. It was added in v2.4.1, and later removed in v6.2.1.

Early Zen Garden boost system

The Zen Garden was original going to feature other boost options for plants, but was scrapped along with the other boosts and only First Strike ended up being used.

v2.0.1

v2.0.1 introduced a more complex boost system, with each plant having 3 options. Although still somewhat incomplete as some plants have the same boost twice or ones which do not fit them.

* = Unused in this version, but available in future updates

^ = Plant is no longer in the codes as of the latest release

N/A = This plant does not have any boost data.

Unused Zen Garden watering animations

The single-use plants were originally going to have boosts, thus being available in the Zen Garden. They were probably meant for an early Zen Garden boost system, where plants would gain different types of boosts (see above), such as cool down decrease or increased toughness. Only the plants up to Far Future have these animations. They were later used after the 5.7.1 update when you get all the seed packets to level up the plant. Every single-use plant after Far Future will just have their idle animation reset. The Sprout from the first game was replaced by small plants although has a unique animation when watered.

Unused tombstones and minecarts

There are tombstones in the code for all worlds. There were also unused tombstones in Dark Ages. There are also unused minecarts and rails that were originally going to be in Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas, and Far Future, but they were ultimately removed and they were used only in Wild West. However, in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, Far Future minecarts and rails are usable, as they are essential for an exclusive Brain Buster, All by Oneself, albeit with a slightly different minecart design. Big Wave Beach tombstones were originally going to be used for certain unreleased Vasebreaker levels, but those were either scrapped or unreleased.

  • [ADVICE_PLANT_LILYPADS_ON_WET] Lily Pads can only be planted on wet sand and water.
• Penny is referenced internally as "Winnie."
• The following flavor text was scrapped:
  • Starfruit and Marigold used their flavor text from Plants vs. Zombies.
  • Citron: Since he was a young citrus he tried to donate plasma to help out people, but his juices were too acidic. Then he discovered how to donate a different kind of plasma.
  • Laser Bean: Was just a regular bean until a lab accident involving a chemical spill and a radioactive weevil gave him strange powers beyond those of normal beans.
  • Magnifying Grass: Magnifying Grass turns sun into a focused beam of damage. (description header)
  • Tile Turnip: Through great sacrifice comes great Power Tiles. Such is the way of the Tile Turnip.
  • Sun-shroom: With a little more time and effort Sun-shroom know he could do better. He's pretty proud of those big suns he pops out, though he does feel a little bloated.
  • Puff-shroom: Puff-shroom is deeply rooted in the social networking systems. His online favorites are Yeastbook and Funggit, but nothing beats camaraderie of a Lawn Area Network of fellow Puff-shrooms.
  • Fume-shroom: "I think of myself as a pretty confident shroom and an all-around fungi," says Fume-shroom. "But sometimes I hear chuckles, and calls for 'Balloon-shroom'. I don't think they know how much that can hurt my feelings."
  • Sun Bean: Sunbeans infect zombies with sun. As a zombie takes damage they generate sun. (Description header, version 2.2.2)
  • Sun Bean: One of a growing band of bean brothers, Sun Bean thinks Chili is a little crude, Spring is rather lazy, and Laser is a bit far-out. Still he loves them all the same.
  • Pea-nut: Pea-Nut swears that he is hypo-allergenic and safe for use by all manner of lawn defenders. He just wishes people would stop planting him upside down.
  • Magnet-shroom: Magnet-shroom is quite aware of his unconventional appearance, but he doesn't let it bother him. In his heart he knows he's the most attractive shroom around.
  • Adventurer Zombie: Adventurer Zombie was certain he was the first to rediscover the Lost City. He was less certain after he ran into another 50 Adventurer Zombies at the gift shop.
  • Conehead Adventurer: Given the rarity of traffic in the jungle, it’s a mystery how Conehead Adventurer managed to acquire his headgear. Maybe he ordered it online?
  • Buckethead Adventurer: Armed with his sturdy kettle and even sturdier moustache, Kettlehead Adventurer is ready to ruin your day and possibly make a stew.
  • Parasol Zombie: Parasol Zombie desperately wants to get to the opera before the curtain rises. She’s not going to make it, though, because it’s thousands of miles away on another continent.
  • Cold Snapdragon: Cold Snapdragon gets chilly when anyone brings up his cousin Snapdragon. "It happened a long time ago, and I'd really rather not discuss it" he says. Yikes.

Jukebox

There is currently data for a jukebox in the code. It is unknown how it will work or where it can be played. It could possibly provide a way to listen to the game's soundtrack. The code suggests that it can be played in the pause menu and Endless Zones. It also has UI but no sprites. It suggests it has a Song List, Rewind Button, Fast Forward Button, Play Button, Loop Button, and Shuffle Button. It also appears they will have album artwork for every world.
