Before you comment, I know that Timestopper is meant to be an apple. Save some energy from slamming your fingers on the keyboard.
KOALA YOU KNOW TIME STOPPERS AN APLLE RIGHT????
I'm pretty sure they ended up using both pogo and zomboni in the multiplayer vs games for pvz on xbox
was just about to mention that, thanks for saving my time... oh wait, dammit...
Underrated
Plantern:😶
I see a common theme in this unused content. A lot of it might have been unused to make the game distance itself from the fact that zombies USED to be people with jobs and families, and reminding the player of that might have been too dark for the "fun" aesthetic Popcap was going for with the game
Examples of that being the case are the removal of references to the jobs that the conehead and buckethead used to have before dying (which could also have been to standardize the appearance of the zombies after their armor gets removed) and the removal of the children and mom zombies (the children zombies might have been replaced by imps?? idk)
In the finalized version of the game, the zombies ended up seeming more like _"cRaZy!!"_ and _"wAcKy!!"_ cartoon monsters who take random stuff from the streets because they're dumb, rather than _actual people_ who died, and I think that was a good decision from Popcap
Hmm I never thought of that, nicely spotted
I'm surprised Carpenter Zombie is a thing if that's the case
@@koalapvz The bucket head actually had a painter uniform planned, yeah the red stain on the bucket is paint not blood.
@@Callie_with_a_bible He covered that in the video
I mean im pretty sure the events of both the comics and pvz2 confirm that technically zombies are a separate species, basically like a dumber human species that crave brains, that were placed at the beginning of time by zomboss. Im also fairly sure that zomboss has also been confirmed to have always been a zombie. I might be wrong though.
I think if Stinger wasn't just cactus but worst she would shoots bee stingers that slowly poisons zombies over time. She can also make honey to slow down zombies in there tracks.
But bees are kinda not related to plants directly
@@rubennishadthomas6919 Mushrooms, Rocks and Soda Bottles also aren't. Plus, Stinger official design is a plant with a bee hive.
Poison bees?
The slowdown honey can stack with both ice and fire
@@xxepicsniperpro8087 bees naturally have poison in them just not enough to kill anything
5:47 Bruh i cant unsee the Conehead and Bucket head designs
They look so much better with theire respective jobs, its kindoff sad that it got scrapped as i even preffer these versions
me too
agree
Same, it would've explained and not made people think there was blood on the bucket like in the final game as it is paint
I know it makes so much more sense
I think it makes more sense, but they wouldn’t be as iconic as today so maybe they should’ve been a different randomized varient so people dont get too tired of the same browncoat
god i love stinger's design, the one used in the betas, i don't care what it does i love how it looks

One very interesting thing to mention about the Ice Level is that it was supposedly the inspiration for the Yeti Zombie, who was added alongside it for the April Fool's joke and then kept in as his current incarnation
In the files of the pvz beta you can find things like a gargantuar helmet, golden fertilizer, golden gramophone. Those are the ones I remember, but there are more things too.
Excuse me
A WHAT HELMET???? D:
@@epicgamer_7985 gargantuar helmet
@@epicgamer_7985 giga gargantuar helmet probably
3:43 - Not gonna lie, I kind of prefer the concept art for Chomper to the one that we got. How you said, it looks more organic, and for me, somehow cuter than the final version
I know, i honestly have always hated chomper's design, looks too much like an animal
I love the chomper no matter how bad it is gameplay wise but I think that the eggplant theme is cool in its prototype
i like it, but i actually like the final design. maybe it's a reference to the piranha plants in super mario? though there was a reference to little shop of horrors according to wiki.
anyways, what i like about the final one is to me, it's one of the most iconic plant design in pvz. plus, the lips make it look like those pitcher plants, another carnivorous plant. so it's kinda like a venus flytrap/pitcher plant fusion.
@@plebulus chomper literally eat zombies
How's that's not animalistic?
@@demo8580 i said it's too animalistic, also Venus flytraps eat animals and they are a plant, which i feel is the inspiration somewhat
I have no clue if it’s an intentional reference or not, but the early Split-Pea’s design immediately made me think of Invader Zim. Specifically the episode where Zim grows a giant zit and disguises it as his friend “Pustulio.” Looking it up, they even both have little purple suits!
So the pvz one is Peastulio?
Professor Quirrell LMAO
Yeah i thought it was a reference to something too
i love how they converted the name Bloom and Doom from the game's title to being part of the lore by creating Bloom and Doom co. as the manufacturer of these plants as seen in the seed packets
Stinger is a nice concept, considering one of the arts is a beehive on a plant, leading to a lot of potential uses. Maybe bees would fly at zombies and sting them and, if there are no zombies on a lane, the amount of bees builds up.
The timestopper isn't actually that odd looking, considering flower pot and plantern exist, it kinda looks like an apple with clock hands on it. It could be neat, if it slowed down time for a few seconds while also recharging your plants, letting you micro manage everything.
I feel like if time stopper actually was added, they would become a thyme stopper for sure
I actually see Duplicator Cycle's use here.
It becomes useful as soon as you place the 2nd one.
You can only bring a certain number of plants for a level. However, as soon as you place the 2nd Duplicator Cycle, it will look as if you brought an additional Imitater.
Imagine choosing Doom-shroom for a level and having 5 Duplicator Cycles on the lawn. With enough sun, you can immediately end the game lmao.
Oi. Yes
which is likely another reason as to why it was scrapped
Yeah, but if you play it right one doom shroom can end the level anyways.
@@lilvern9268
Yeah, but it doesn't have to be a Doom-shroom. Duplicator Cycle specifically helps you with plants who have shit recharge. Besides, having extra Doom-shrooms at your disposal wouldn't hurt.
I find this plant to be beneficial but only in the long run.
@CloverB I see what you mean now. For some reason I always forget the recharge is a thing lol
3:10 BALD BALD BALD MY EYES
You forgot about the unused track titled 'Zombotany' which was the beta track for the Zomboss stage. It was scrapped due to it's intense part being too short (or something like that). People tend to believe it was for the zombotany minigame but the claim was disproven by Laura Shigihara.
Zom-botany
1:38 it might be an apple cut in half.
Just like how the grave buster is supposed to be like- tree bark- I think?
Ah I see what you mean
That’s what I was thinking too. The hands on the clock of Time Stopper look like they’re apple seeds in the core of an Apple.
I think a good alternative name for an ice-variant of Cabbage Pult would be Coldslaw
"one leaf sticking out of a clock means its a plant species?"
magne-shroom is literally just a magnet
also, flower pot is literally a pot with 2 LEAVES sticking out of it, time stopper would definitely fit in the game
Timestopper looks like an apple
@@burner555 well, that gives it more reasons to exist than flower pot xd
@@gatex33d74 It has legs
Underrated content. Keep grinding my man.
On god!
@@candle7814 Indeed
Man I'm kinda done with pvz as a whole, but I still enjoy watching you so much. One of the few content creators I watch daily and its so sad you arent more well known.
Zombie kids are so creepy im gonna see them in my nighmare toonight
the timestopper isnt such a weird plant when u remember plantern, magnetshroom, and flowerpot. AND I AM SO GLAD WE GOT THE FINAL FORM OF EACH PlANT AND NOT THE CREEPY CRAP WE ALMOST GOT!!!!!!!
PIANT
PLANT
@@franciscoreginales lmao I just love how translating this into English makes it turn into PANT
@@TelPhi_ who needs emblems when you have pants? 👖
6:20 Finally this detail got noticed.
I bought a cd of pvz when I was a child and I've noticed that the past dancing zombie was changed with disco zombie.
I mean, I like them both, but I kinda feel nostalgic
Aight so I wasn't tripping the entire time. I clearly remember the dancing zombie wearing the red outfit while I played the game as a kid and was confused by the replaced one.
"Zombies Ate My Garden" would have been a GOAT'ed title fr.
1:40 its an apple
i dont know what the significance is between an apple and time but thats how its a plant
@@ByWho-js5bq Apple Motar turned into a fucking clock. Thats the funnist shit i ever seen
8:31 Creepy Ghouls and Garden Tools: Attack of the vegan 2??
What kinda title is that?? I like it!
Two things I want to say that weren't featured in the video as cut content was that there was gonna be a sixth level in the game which would've been the night time variant of the Roof which is where Dr Zomboss was gonna be fought in, but the idea was dropped and only 1 night time roof level remained in the final game being level 5-10 the part where adventure ends and you fight Dr Zomboss in, there is a concept that features a night time level that looks like fog except without the pool and fog with it having six lanes of the regular ones from Day and Night and some sort of corner on the top right end of where 4 lanes were in the corner while the other 2 weren't it can be played in the beta version of the game, the 2nd being cut on the PC version of the game is Versus mode, originally PC players would've been able to play Versus mode prior to the Xbox, PS and DS versions coming out, but was of course scrapped, idk why but it's honestly a shame we didn't get a PC version of versus, cause it would've been nice for us PC players to play and compete against other players.
My guy, please use periods.
@@toxic_shr00m 🤓
@@toxic_shr00m apologies for that, I didn't really think about using periods up until you mentioned it.
@@JakeTheBikerDude it's aight, lol
roof night never existed,in the leaked beta world 6 is night lawn with an elevated section
5:47 I gotta say, these unused details are insanely good. No wonder why they got cone and bucket on their head.
I think Dog-Walker Zombie may be a concept that got reused/changed into Newspaper Zombie.
A two-phase zombie that has a counterpart with higher movespeed and damage after phase 1 is killed.
Just that a zombie dog didn't fit as well so it got changed. Explains why Newspaper exists, it is kind of a weird zombie compared to the rest.
4:23 Well, in a dev conference they mentioned that you used to start out with 100 sun
The hover cherry bomb could've had a similar function to Umbrella leaf, defending a plant(s) from bungee zombies or other aerial threats
3:59 I think Hypno shrooms design inspired the doom shroom
Yeah they look angry
The [TIME STOPPER] is the ultimate plant
IS THAT JOJO REFERENCE!!!??
That beehive one wouldve been cool if it had a better use. Like, it has bees that come out of it and attack zombies around the lawn similar to cattail and even pop balloons or something. Maybe the bees would slow zombies instead or just act like electric blueberry where they come in a cloud, sting a zombie to death and go to rest in the hive. Honestly this was a good idea.
i think videos showcasing and talking about the worlds and plants/zombies unique to the Chinese version would make for a great series, great video as usual.
There’s actually a guy who does it.
Look up “overanalyzing Chinese PvZ”
I wish they kept the potato mine early design, but make the leaves blink red when ready to explode. It looks much more like a plant than the current one (but I prefer it's buck tooth and round black eyes though).
Thank you for making these, I have never been able to find an English Speaker do a video on the unused content of the PvZ games and have voiceover. Heck, I don't think I've even seen ANY English videos of the first game's unused content at all (like on screen text OR commentary). So you are a HERO for these! THANK YOU SO MUCH! =D
I think the time stopper is an apple
But the most unused plant in pvz is marigold,has anyone use him since you can just farm coins in zen garden
Uhhhh I use her in last stand to farm coins with gold magnet...
Gold magnet?
@@randomguy514 an upgrade for magnet-shroom but he will only collect coins and diamonds
@@villgernumber1132 Yeah i know. What i meant was gold- magnet being the most useless plant.
@@randomguy514 when your trying to manage collecting sun, using corn cobs, and replacing pumpkins, believe me, gold magnet is worth having on the lawn during prolonged levels like *Endless* or any of the Survival Hard.
That old Split Pea design makes it look like he has a ventriloquist dummy.
İ feel like iceberg lettuce in pvz 1 could have been an upgrade to cabbage pult just like how the other cattapult plants have upgrades
I'm pretty sure the imp replaced the kids. I had no idea that the old dancing zombie design was changed, I remember it from when I was a kid.
Koala: How is the Time Stopper even a plant?
Spikerock: Well, it actually doesn't care so much
important: the "bloom and doom" name was also used in the final version, in the label the seed packets have
Never knew the red on bucket head was paint
I can’t be the only one who thought it was blood
Believe me, everyone thought it was blood
Bloom & Doom would have actually been a really nice name
Is nobody gonna mention how if Micheal Jackson didn't die, the disco robot from FF would be a Micheal Jackson robot?
Forget that, imagine PVZ heroes Michael Jackson
Potato mine's early design screams World of Goo vibes to me
But the Stinger wasnt that lost, I imagine it gave the devs the idea of the Bee Shooter from PvZ Adventures
Wow it's interesting how the jack in the box zombie looks similar to the big top event zombies in pvz2 , in fact the monkey varient looks like the inspiration for the monkey zombie from that event
I love pvz. finding this channel is nothing but a blessing
i really like the concepts of the conehead and buckethead
I remembered playing a version with the Michael zombie when I was very young, and for a long time, me and my brother kept calling it Michael Jackson zombie
The Ice Level using a photo realistic background makes me want to figure out how to replace the background to be my lawn.
This was a great watch, I didn't know most of these somehow even though I've been a huge fan for PVZ for years
Holy shit, they brought the first jack-in-the-box zombie back in PvZ 2 in a way
The dog zombie be like "PITBULL, ATTACK THOSE KI-"
The time-stopper is actually a cut in half apple, as it has the same red skin and white flesh an apple has, with the clock hands being like the seeds.
Also I didn't know Cactus was considered one of the worst plants, she's pretty damn useful in both PvZ1 and PvZ2 imo
I mean in PvZ 1 she's just a more expensive peashooter in 90% of levels so yeah, not exactly stellar
Her buffs in several mods are well deserved. Especially Hard Mode, where she gains AoE damage.
2:52 special zombie death
Have you looked on the Cutting Room Floor? I recently found a video about a week ago that showed 2 different PVZ prototypes live in 2010.
This is one of the best PvZ channels in my opinion.
My mom drove me to school fifteen minutes late on Tuesday.
However, I was watching this VID the entire HECKIN TIME!!!
It made me say this:
Her mug froze solid in the winter cold.
And I say that as a former "KOALA" Myself!
Add divinerpg to plants vs zombies UNUSED endition, a new mod that we will be creating
Apple but the seeds are clock hands
Why cactus is so hated? It's basicly a pea shooter but +25 sun, it's not much
Well...because if you plant more than a row of cactus in pvz 1 you'll loose 25 sun per plant and that stacks up.For 2 rows of cactus you'd pay 1 row of peashooters that can kill balloon zombies+1 row of more expensive peashooters which 125 extra sun compared to peashooter when you get an extra row of cacti when 1 row of cactus is enough to kill balloon zombies
I thought the red thing on Buckethead Zombie's bucket is blood, just knew it after 11 years
As a pvz veteran, im happy to say I already knew all of these! Thanks for helping me check :)
Same I saw the cut content on the Fandom wiki and The Cutting Room Floor
fun fact: bloom and doom is actually the company that makes the seeds that you use in the game, nice reference popcap
Daniel : The guy that suggested the name "Grave And Garden"
The Cooler daniel: the guy that suggested "better Graves And Gardens "
Fun fact: There was a book called "The Art of Plants Versus Zombies" that showed some of the cut content, such as the zombie children and mom.
Please do more unused content I love it
ruclips.net/video/CHre-AdxuL0/видео.html just wondering if you are interested in this, it's pvz 1 unused content with much more info
Feels great seeing someone talk about these thx
I can only imagine how bad a 450 sun cost cactus would be
Imagine if they never changed the michael jackson zombie and it stayed til battle for neighborvile...
The bee hive : the swarm of locusts (pvz heroes)
The waterpea : pvz heroes
The jack in the box (pvz2)
“what should we name our ga-“
*S E I Z U R E S A L A D*
I think the Zomboni zombie would've originally jumped out of the zomboni as soon as it exploded like a pole vaulter zombie.
8:29 oh and it was originally also called residential evil obviously named after capcom's famous horror game resident evil but they've decided to not name it after the capcom games so they won't get copyrighted
I think stinger would have been batter than cactus because in last stand endless stinger takes up less space. On top of that in adventure you can just sacrifice your lawn mowers for the 2 ballon zombies in the level cactus is “required” in.
Edit: now that I think about it in last stand endless cat tail would have outclassed both.
i never knew that the michael jackson zombie was only on the first release of the game. i've only played pvz using the disc i got on release. i was so confused about the afro zombie but never cared to look into it since i thought it was cheated in
2:51 Look at the zombie's death effect (Middle row)
I remember I used to play pvz on my old laptop with the michel jackson zombie and when I saw the new dancing zombie I was confused
I’m dying at the names at 8:36
ah yes my favorite game of all time Jesus lives
"Lawnable holocaust"
There is no way some of those names on that list were considered, one of them was "Lawnbie Holocaust"
I actually played the game with the MJ zombie long ago. Also, I thought the minigames were in the game? At least the version I had did
I think that time stopper is supposed to be an apple that was cut in half with the clock hands being the black middle thing
2:53 rare zombie death
wrong, thats common
can we appreciate the fact that they made the right decision by not using any of this content (except for the conehead zombie design)
even the name they chose is the perfect one.
I think the time stopper is meant to be a apple because of the color and look
I remember going toy friend's house and paying pvz and i remember the Michel Jackson zombie from. That times
Some of the name ideas for the game dont really suit it and make me wonder if the zombies and gameplay would be slightly different with those names
Fun fact: there is a free mobile version, it is still up yet unless you pay there will be ads.
Not back then though
bro thought that the spike rock texture for when it has low health was a unique beta design
The hover cherry bomb maybe it could of replaced the cherry bomb I’m glad they have the cherry bomb
I honestly don't consider shooting at zombie kids to be that violent
Especially cause of the wacky nature the game has, the head just kind of pops, zombies don't bleed
But it's still understandable why they removed
lawnbie holocaust as one of the names caught me off guard 💀
6:40 I remember this screen when I was very young, I was like 3,(I am still young), it was on the disc version. I think it's in the newer version where it's stuck in the files, but I remember this like it was a week ago.
Chomper is bad, but you gotta love it due to it's epic design. (Favorite plant of all time)
I actually had the game version with M Jaxkson and loved it. Way better looking than the new dancing zombie but unfortunately I lost my pc and copy of the game so i only have the memories
actually the old dancing zombie still can be seen if you play older versions like 1.0 (yes technically pvz does have sorta versions)
Bro said how a clock with a leaf is a plant we not gonna talk about how magnet shroom is a mushroom with a magnet on it 🤔
