The zomboni description was so hilarious. The creators were probably mad that there was so much copyright trouble that they decided to make a joke about it in-game. This gives off Alex Hirsch "Not S+P Approved" vibes.
A thing to note about the Painter Zombie is that eventually _a_ Painter Zombie became a real thing in a release-build PvZ game; specifically in Garden Warfare 1 as a sharpshooter variant of the Engineer class having better range, an enhanced ADS zoom and reduced damage dropoff compared to other Engineer variants at the expense of a slower rate of fire, less ammo per clip and a longer reload time.
A solid potential idea, maybe a pvz2 gimmick world after modern day? Call it something like Time Twister, and reuse that old name and content that was scrapped. No sun at night, introduce coffee bean, maybe re-add scaredy shroom, doom shroom perhaps, A lot of potential there
Thinking about plant upgrade options would help with some of the assumptions in the first one, like the Iceberg Lettuce likely got reworked into the Ice Watermelon and the Spikeweed degrading was likely worked into its upgrade path instead, where it degrades every time a Zomboni™ drives over it
I died on the inside in 4:54 when he didn't comment on the effect being transferred over to the Winter Melon, especially due to the fact that it would make it more unique than another single-target chilling plant like the Snow Pea.
The only video i’ve seen all day that isnt an april fools joke (I just noticed the old versions of the game are called insaniquarium, because it uses the same game engine.)
I'm guessing in later development they took the card deck mechanic and turned it into the conveyor belt mechanic for final levels of each section of the game
Tetrabit, i m here to explain the early 'blue' zombie are actually the aliens in insaniquarium, spefically the first alien you encounter called 'sylvester' Edit: shit, i didnt hear correctly
I paused just 45 seconds in to read that list of pitched titles for the game and I I almost died laughing please help, I cannot breathe _A Crop Eclipse Now_ goodbye, cruel world...
The fire enemy mentioned in the notes That would need to be extinguished with water Might have worked similarly, to or possibly even been reworked into the adventures zombie From PVZ two which holds a torch that it can use to instantly burn away Any plants it reaches unless it's extinguished by cold plants such as iceberg lettuce, or snow pea
Seeing all of the zombie variants we never got is kinda saddening. I love PVZ, but the variety we could’ve gotten really was robbed from us. Especially since it doesn’t really make sense why all the zombies wear the same brown overcoat and jeans, instead of traditional burial garb.
You say that, but have you ever heard of the ds version exclusive giga football zombie? Had black armor with a scull on it, took 4 instant kill plants to fully kill it, couldn't have its helmet removed, and still ran as fast as a football zombie. It would appear on survival endless modes, but the code to actually spawn it is incomplete.
That dog leash zombie would be op ngl since you mentioned it's very low that can't be hit by other projectiles you can counter only with spikeweed and puff shroom (maybe)
And that was mentioned in the video, he's talking about the PC version that still has some of the assets from the 360 version as though they were planning on adding them.
The old 'choose your seeds' old music was actually kept in the mobile versions, since if you listen hard enough the tune does cut and doesn't loop perfectly
Im not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but aren’t the early build “zombies” just the aliens from Insaniquarium so possibly just placeholders while the zombie graphics were being decided on I dunno
I would love to see you do a lost bits on either or both of the little nightmares games as they are full of unused content and it is all very interesting imo
Someone's probably already said it, but that one test square with the red part was for sizing [ I'm pretty sure anyways not for sure, but it looks like it was meant for putting sprites against it to gage sizing ]
I belive the reason the 5-10 background is called "background6boss.png" is because every other stage uses 5 insteed of 6, this might be because it's just not the same as the other backgrounds.
4:54 That would have actually been a really cool plant they should’ve added it as an upgrade for cabbage pult, it would also mean there would be an even 50 plants instead of 49
If you are planning to play PvZ2 to make a lost bits video i will recommend start playing with pre 1.7 versions, then after that jump to 5.0.1 and then after that you should try the last and newer version, why? The first version i recommended is a not so early launch of the game which changed a lot but was the same until 5.0.1, after such version the game got a leveling update and a lot other things started to change and also even more new zombies not related to any world in-game
How to beat bobsled bonanza: Plants to use: Chomper and spike weed to stop both bobsleds and zombonis (yes, chomper can gobble down both zombonis, the bobsled and the riders as long as they're inside of the bobsled), sun flower, fume shroom, coffee bean, gloom shroom, garlic, twin sunflower, (if you want to) and anything else you want (Im guessing you have all 10 seed slots) Placement: Place one column of sunflowers top to bottom. Then, use chompers to stop bobsleds and spike weeds to stop zombonis to build up enough sun. Once you've built up enough sun (about 300 sun or 400 sun if you want a little more backup sun), place down the fumeshroom, coffee bean on top of it garlic, gloom shroom, then place the gloomshroom in column 2 and the garlic in column 3 near the pool so that the gloom shroom can defend the lane above it and below it AND REMEMBER put the garlic infront of the gloomshroom or else it will get eaten now i advise you that place tallnut and pumpkin on column 2 to slow down ducktube zombies. Now, to the next part, the zombies: Again, zombonis and the bobsled and its riders can be eaten by the chomper, but only use it one the bobsled and the riders once they're inside the bobsled HOWEVER, if you get bad rng and get another bobsled in that lane, then and you dont have your gloomshroom and garilcs set up then you must reset the level as you may or may not have any sun to place another chomper and if theres a zomboni then place a spike weed. LATE👏GAME. place spike weeds below your gloomshroom and garlic setup for xtra dmg ANND thats it yep just spam chomper, spikeweed in late game and yeah thats it. Recommendations Cat tail, imitater, doom shroom, jalapeño, and cherry bomb the other plants (assuming you have all ten seed slots) are up to you. Place the sun flowers in the first column btw
The "air raid" one returns in the DS version except you have to drag around a flying gatling pea to try and defeat zomboss(Who I guess is also flying?) And is the last minigame
The zombie head in a helmet looks like a racer or like Samus and mostly Samus, also i love how they still wanted to put a knight helmet pr you could say Marauder but anyway its cool how they tried

Now that I think about it, it reminds me of the Godzilla bit in Austin Powers 3.
I kinda love how they had all these clever and punny names for the game but the one they ended up with was the straightforward PVZ.
Plot in Hell made me wonder what they were thinking the game's age rating was going to be.
Lmao
One of the names was just weed which is kinda funny
Weed eaters
why is this one so good@blakesouthers4818
My theory for why the dog walker zombie was cut is because most players would feel bad for killing the dog.
Lawn mowers would do
"The dolphin is also zombie"
I would just make it to where the zombie dies but then the dog gets scared and runs back off the screen into the road
@@Khanza132 I mean the dolphin doesn't get killed, the zombie just uses it to jump over a plant and then it just vanishes.
Now technically I don't exactly believe that, there's the dolphin zombie, and as we know it can get killed by the pool cleaners if it gets through

Seeing the sleeping big mushroom made think: what if there was a level where it starts at night and then transitions to daytime?
Sounds like an interesting mechanic. Too little games use the sped up day cycle as a part of gameplay. Reminds me of Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0.

@duckytheduckster0 🤓
I have played the game for so long. I am impressed that there were so many unused assets to this game.
Well, i can't disagree. With so much detail, it would make sense for there to be unused assets.
But hey, a development is a development!
The only video i’ve seen all day that isnt an april fools joke
(I just noticed the old versions of the game are called insaniquarium, because it uses the same game engine.)
Same
I believe that tetra chose today to pvz because the pvz trailer came out today
Im almost certain now that pvz was conceived initially as an insaniquarium spinoff
51:20 Coffee bean actually has wings in the Chinese version of PvZ2
26:32
This could have partially inspired PVZ2's Frostbite Caves, as the background is similar, along with the frozen zombie gimmick
frostbite caves is kinda boring so that might be why it was scrapped
@srcublordofgames2723 I agree, the only thing that makes frostbite caves good is the boss. Legit fell asleep during one of the levels.

That's in part 2
I thought I was going insane when I saw that

Especially since it doesn’t really make sense why all the zombies wear the same brown overcoat and jeans, instead of traditional burial garb.

They raided a clothing store as soon as they rose.
@@eggroll5510 not ds exclusive it was in the demo of pvz
in case anyone is wondering, yes, the zen garden minigame is supposed to take you to the zen garden. idk why it just crashes for him lmao
Now, make lost bits for pvz 2
20:12 The gargantuar already uses a power line to attack.
That dog leash zombie would be op ngl since you mentioned it's very low that can't be hit by other projectiles you can counter only with spikeweed and puff shroom (maybe)
If it was puff shroom weak that makes sense as puffshroom was already op
Apparently the kill record was only designed for the intensive carrot in plants versus zombies 2
It would be funny if the dog-Walker zombie was designed as a normal zombie having a imp on a leash
I think the rocks on the lanes where an early version of Dave's Mold colonies seen in PvZ 2
Air Raid could have been removed since one Cattail can let you play the level afk.
I mean clearly difficulty wasn't exactly the thing pvz devs were the most corcerned about
Which is probably why they turned it into a plane battle in the DS Version
19:08 might be the pogo zombie for the final version
This makes me want a Nintendo Switch version of this game, too bad they don't make new ports these days!
18:30 If i remember the Xbox 360 version of PVZ had a VS mode where one defends and the other sends zombies
yes and the ds version also had it
And that was mentioned in the video, he's talking about the PC version that still has some of the assets from the 360 version as though they were planning on adding them.
The old 'choose your seeds' old music was actually kept in the mobile versions, since if you listen hard enough the tune does cut and doesn't loop perfectly
True
it's just the OST version... for some reason both Flash and the mobile version uses the OST version of Choose your seeds music...
2:38 ngl that looks like a scratch game
Bloom and doom actually sounds good as a title but sadly didn't get choose which is a shame
Those ghoulish looking zombies are just aliens from Insaniquarium.
Im not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but aren’t the early build “zombies” just the aliens from Insaniquarium so possibly just placeholders while the zombie graphics were being decided on I dunno

0:49 i could see how “jesus lives” was scrapped. But “i will eat your garden” is too funny
Dammit zombies ate my beans!
Recently got back into PVZ and I love learning all I can about it
19:08 The double jumper can be an enemie that jumps two tiles or that can jump twice.
Which may have made it a precursor to the Pogo Zombie (who is basically the Pole Vaulter, ad infinitum.)
Someone's probably already said it, but that one test square with the red part was for sizing [ I'm pretty sure anyways not for sure, but it looks like it was meant for putting sprites against it to gage sizing ]
