Penny was stated that the whole Neighborville, even a city that the player have been encounter before that is Tourist Park, will be renovated and turn into some sort of futuristic/cyberpunk city with sky scrappers and other stuffs, which is a foreshadow to Cyberpunk City.

After beating Construction Zone, Crazy Dave and Penny went to a backyard and wants to find out the secret behind the backyard. Turns out, it was a forest that was hidden behind the roads and the location was called Wild River, where aquatic plants and zombies are first introduced here. It also introducing day-night cycle, where as soon it gets dark, the speed of sun drops will get slower as the progress goes on.

After beating Wild River, Dr. Zomboss captures Crazy Dave and Penny with a horde of Bungee Zombies, and then send them to Chilling Icefield, where the temperature was very-very cold. Crazy Dave wears a coat in here, and Penny was covered in a bit of snow. They discover an igloo and made a campfire over there to keep themselves warm. But fortunately, fire plants are introduced here and they'll help to prevent your plants from freezing.

After beating Chilling Icefield, Crazy Dave and Penny flies to an airport and found a bunch of flying plants and Flower Pots, while fights off against a hurrendous number of airbone zombies and parachutes.

After beating Airport Airlines, Crazy Dave and Penny went home and found themselves trapped in a fog field. The day went darker and it was 12AM in this world. They found a path and they didn't know which way they should go due to the thickness of the fog. This then allude to them arrived in Gloom-n-Fog St. for taking a rest, while a bunch of zombies interrupt them.

After beating Gloom-n-Fog St., they're fall down into a sewer, where the place itself was very stinky, so it requires Double Mint's fresh air to cure them up. Zombies somehow sneak into the sewer despite of how stinky the place is, and Penny stated that Dr. Zomboss gave the zombies an immunity of stenchy smell, which is the reason why when they eat Garlic, they'll not switching lanes.

After beating Plungered Sewers, Crazy Dave and Penny follow the light outside the sewer and finally arrived in Cyberpunk City, where the construction finished their job of renovating the entire city, as well with Neighborville.
