'''NOTE: As already stated in the above template, this page is not complete yet! This page contains multiple redlinks to pages that I have yet to make! Currently I do not have the time to do this, so please wait a little longer before I get to release this content!Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World '(abbreviated as PvZ:LW) is a fan-made game based off the Plants vs. Zombies ''franchise.

Synopsis
After defeating yet another wave of zombies, you and Crazy Dave find a map (called the Lost Map) that happens to have been kept by one of the zombies you just fought. Behind it you find a note which hints that Dr. Zomboss has recently found a small island somewhere in the Atlantic, currently used as a sanctuary for plants to take shelter from zombies, and Dr. Zomboss plans to take down the sanctuary, because he fears that the sanctuary would pose a severe threat to him and his fellow zombies, and you have yet to know why. You and Crazy Dave plan to travel to this island, and save the sanctuary from being destroyed.

Currencies
The following are the main currencies used in the game.

Money
Money is the general-use currency (mainly used to buy stuff from Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies), and is also known as Coins. Money can be collected in the form of: It can be earned in the following ways:
 * Silver coins (worth $10)
 * Gold coins (worth $50)
 * Diamonds (worth $1000)
 * Money bags (normally contains 5 gold coins)
 * Zombies that are killed have a random chance to drop coins, or even diamonds on rare occasions.
 * Unused lawn mowers after finishing a level will be converted into silver coins (one coin each). 
 * Completing some levels reward money bags.
 * Zen Garden plants can give coins upon going through different growth stages.
 * Zen Garden plants can be sold for money, where the more mature a plant is, the higher the selling price.
 * Exchanging sprouts or tokens (in Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies).
 * Watching ads (in Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies).

Sprouts
Sprouts are used to plant more plants in Zen Garden. Sprouts can be gained either by from zombies that randomly drop them, or they can be bought from Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies.

Tokens
Tokens are used to upgrade plants’ stats. Many variants of Tokens exist, each upgrading a certain stat. They can be earned from zombies that may randomly drop them, obtaining them from treasure chests, or by buying them from Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies. Below is a list of all Token variants (and what stat they upgrade, and how relatively common they can be found):
 * Strength Token – Upgrades the damage a plant can do, a common Token
 * Toughness Token – Upgrades the amount of damage a plant can withstand, a common Token
 * Recharge Token – Reduces the amount of time needed for a plant’s seed packet to recharge, an uncommon Token
 * Sun cost Token – Reduces the amount of sun that a plant requires to be planted, a rare Token
 * Sun production Token – Upgrades the amount of sun a plant can produce at once, a very rare Token
 * Firing rate Token – Reduces the amount of time between each time a plant can fire projectiles, a rare Token

Upgrading system
The upgrading system in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World differs a lot from the one in Plants vs. Zombies 2. A new currency, called Tokens, is used to upgrade plants instead (more about Tokens here). Plants are also not upgraded by levels, but rather, they are upgraded by their individual stats. Depending on the plant, there are certain stats that the plant can have upgraded to certain extents. Each stat can also be only upgraded using a certain variant of Tokens, and there are many variants that exist (e.g. the Strength token variant can be used to upgrade the Damage stat of a plant). Every stat upgrade has their own amount of Tokens needed in order to fulfill it (e.g. to upgrade the Damage stat of a specific plant for the second time, you will usually need 2 Strength tokens). When a plant has fully upgraded all its stats, a bonus ability is unlocked for that plant, called its ultimate ability.

Note: An example of how this system works will be posted here soon!   

Level mechanics
Most of the level mechanics in Plants vs. Zombies 2 are retained in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World. These include: Level objectives also return in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World. The following are the level objectives that could potentially appear in some levels:
 * Plant Food
 * Power Ups
 * Power Pinch

More on Power Ups
On the Windows and Mac platforms, Power Pinch will be replaced by a new power up, Power Click, where you would have to double-click a zombie in order to kill it. And, unlike in Plants vs. Zombies 2, you’ll have four power ups at your disposal in each level (Power Pinch, Power Toss, Power Zap and Power Snow).
