Lily Pad returned from the first game allows plants can be placed on water or wet sand to prevent them from getting drowned by water. Big Wave Beach: Gimmick-wise, the world is similar to the Pool level from the original game, in each level, there is an arrow and a line of seaweed called the "tide line" that divides the land and water.However, they can now occasionally spawn by their own and summon zombies through an ambush called "Necromancy!" Tombstones from Ancient Egypt returned to this world and are more than a simple obstacle that blocks straight projectiles. As its name suggests, the world is set during the night, which means that sun does not fall from the sky like the nighttime level from the original game, in addition, mushrooms made their debut in this world. Dark Ages: Takes place around the medieval era.E.M.Peach, introduced in this world can be used to temporarily disable all robotic zombies. As its namesake says, the special zombies in this world are technologically advanced, including Imp and Gargantuar, utilizing machines. Power Tiles link Plant Food to any plant on a Power Tile of the same color. The world's main gimmick, Power Tiles come with different colors with different symbols. Far Future: Takes place in the 24th century (the year 2323 according to the description).Plants can be planted on minecart and can moved along the rail at will. The world's main gimmick is minecart and rail, in different locations and positions, depending on the level. Wild West: As its namesake says, it unsurprisingly takes place in the Wild West, during the mid 19th century.And finally, the plankless lanes, which neither plants (including aquatic-oriented plants like Lily Pad and flying plants like Rotobaga) nor zombies (except Swashbuckler Zombie, Seagull Zombie and Imp Cannon) can be planted or walked on, also lawn mowers cannot cross the plankless lanes. The first half of the lawn functions exactly like the normal lawn, the second half of the lawn has some planks which functions like the former but underground plants like Potato Mine cannot be planted on. Pirate Seas: Takes place in the 'Golden Age of Piracy', the lawn is split into three sections.The difference is the inclusion of tombstones, while cannot summon zombies blocks straight projectiles (Cabbage-pult was initially introduced specifically to bypass the tombstones)
The lawn functions exactly like the normal daytime level from the original game. Ancient Egypt: The first world where your journey starts here.The worlds below will be listed by their chronologically release date: Each world has their own unique gimmicks, and several levels have unique minigames in them, such as one where you use Coconut Cannons to shoot seagulls. 11 total worlds, with between 25 to 34 levels in each one, for a total of 312 levels, and unlike the first game, you fight the zombies across the eras.Related to that, the Neon Mixtape Tour soundtrack is considered by fans the best soundtrack of the whole game for its unique feature.Speaking of McConnell, he would later composed music from Plants vs. The rest of the music would be composed by Peter McConnell. Ancient Egypt's theme, in particular was composed by Laura Shigihara, who also composed the soundtrack from the first game.They are mixed with different instruments and music genres to match the time the level is set in, especially the Demonstration Mini Game and Ultimate Battle music of each world. While not as catchy or memorable as the last game, the music is still really good.The graphics are even better than before, with more animation in the characters.Over twice as many plants and zombies as the last game!.
