Plants
Some plants are unlocked by completing a level, while some can be unlocked by completing a special task.

Coins
You use the usual currency, coins. These are dropped by all zombies at any time in any battle. There are new amounts of coins which include:

Shiny Silver Medal
A slightly unusual amount of money that is worth 300 coins, it's common, but slightly unusual to get compared to normal gold coins. Commonly dropped by zombies with more than average health.

Gold Bar
A rare amount of money that is worth 500 coins, it's not as rare as diamonds. Commonly dropped by strong zombies like Gargantuars.

Bag o' Diamonds
An extremely rare amount of money that is worth 5,000 coins. Which means it's 5x as rare as diamonds. There are no zombies that commonly drops it, it's extremely rare, a random zombie can drop it by pure chance. It's also dropped when you defeat a boss for the first time.

Treasure Chest
The rarest of them all. It's worth 10,000 coins! That's right, 10,000 coins! It's super-mega-ultra-extremely rare, dropped when you defeat any boss 5 times. A chance of a non-boss zombie dropping it is 2.5%.

Zombucks
The secondary currency which is worth more than coins. Can be used to buy various stuff like extra plants, power-ups, and more. They have amounts which include:

Stack 'o Zombucks
Worth 10 zombucks. It's not common nor rare, randomly dropped by any zombie. That chance is 15%.

Cave of the Clocks
Since the cave's ground is stone, you will need Flower Pots. All zombies from all time peroids will attack you! And Penny, instead of running over your plants, will now shoot lasers at random plants.

Every wave, a giant clock will fall that makes a "magic time force" in a 3x3 area, slowing plants or zombies that are affected by the time force temporarily. Occasionally, a really big clock falls from the cave and slows down everything. And sometimes, a small clock with a leaf on it will fall only on a random plant that will permanently slow them down. Umbrella Leaves can deflect small clocks, but can't deflect giant clocks.

Supercharge Matrix
This area is filled with Power Tiles! Power Tiles give your plants extra boosts depending on it color - To prevent this area to be too easy, some tiles do not support some plants, like wall-nuts can't be planted on blue tiles. Also, Tile Turnip can't be picked, nor used because the area is already filled with power tiles. Blue, Green, and Purple tiles appear most, There's only 5 Golden Rod tiles and 3 Tiles in every level. Instant kills like Jalapeno can be planted on any power tile since they are "temporary" plants.
 * If the tile is Blue - The plant's attack speed (or sun production) will be 2x fast every 20 seconds. Defensive plants can't be planted on blue tiles.
 * If the tile is Green - The plant's projectile (or produced sun) will be 2x as big as before every 30 seconds. Which means if it's sun it will be 50 instead of 25! Defensive plants will gain slightly more health.
 * If the tile is Purple  - The plant's projectiles will have a splash-damaging ability permanently. Sun-producing plants and defensive plants can't be planted in this tile.
 * If the tile is Golden Rod - Every 3th projectile fired will be heavy-duty. Sun-producing plants will produce 75 sun every 3 sun produced. Defensive plants can't be planted in golden rod tiles.
 * If the tile is Orange - If any plant is planted in this tile, the tile will produce Plant Food every 70 seconds.
 * If the tile is Red  - The plant will do it's plant food effect every 65 seconds.

Also, there are now Sacrophagus shields, which are very hard to break, and only 3 Grave Busters can "bust" them. Randomly, a flying fez will suddenly appear in the screen that is neutral, and will randomly either help the plants or help the zombies. And sometimes a black hole appears and sucks most plants, Power Radish is rooted to the ground so it is impervious to black holes.

General

 * The ideas of "General Zombious, "Emperor Zombatine," "Zomba Fett," "Deadda the Undead," "Zomb Wesell," and "Nundead Zomray are based off the Star Wars characters General Greivous, Emperor Palpatine, Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt, Zam Wesell and Nute Gunray.
 * Matilda, Burt, Dottie and Harvey returns in this game.
 * The game now uses more new words to express the toughness and the recharges of the plants and zombies.
 * Some include "average," "ultimate," "super slow," "slightly fast," and "very fast."
 * The game was orginally going to end at "Supercharge Matrix."
 * The "???" when expressing toughness in zombie means "depends on invention," and in plants it means "depends on plant."

Plants

 * Lightning Reed now deal 1 nds instead of 0.5, and is now 150 sun.
 * Like in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, Magnet-shroom is no longer a mushroom but is now a regular plant. Also, his name is now "Magnet Plant," and he doesn't sleep during the day.
 * Although Tile Turnip, E.M. Peach, Power Radish, Heavenly Peach, Artislash, and Fire Gourd are unfamiliar plants from PvZ2, they are considered "returning" plants because all these plants were in the Chinese version, except for Tile Turnip and E.M. Peach.
 * Instead of the plant perk expanding a plant's range, it now doubles the damage of the plant's projectiles. It also doubles the health of defensive plants, but can't be planted on sun-producing plants.
 * Umbrella Leaf now has offensive capabilities, being able to shoots light-damaging seeds in a very short range.
 * Grand Corn is a "reskinned" Cob Cannon. Except that Grand Corn only takes 1 space instead of 2.
 * Spring Bean can "roll away" zombies, making it useful for any area, even without water.
 * Power Flower's ability was originally going to be changed: Being able to summon 4 Sunflowers surrounding it, but it was too similar to Disco Zombie's ability.

Zombies

 * Tomb Raiser Zombie will now raise tombstones that appear in Pinata Party instead of Egyptian tombstones.
 * Gargantuar's normal appearance is now his pirate counterpart. The pirate version was chosen because the mummy version was too "ancient," and the wild west version was too "cowboy."
