Memory Lane
EDIT

Memory Lane (回忆之旅; pinyin: huíyì zhī lǚ, lit.

Travel of Reminiscence) is a game mode in
the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies.
Memory Lane is a mode similar to Penny's
Pursuit, and features level gimmicks and maps
based on the Brst game.

There are two diEculty modes: Normal and Hard.

There are 8 levels per week in Normal mode and
16 levels per every major game update in Hard
mode, with every 4th level in both modes being
an Elite Zombie Battle. To unlock Hard mode, the
player must beat Normal mode Brst with every
season, upon unlocking Hard Mode, it stays
open for the remainder of the season.

As of update 2.9.6, both Normal and Hard mode

have you battle against Zombot Mark ll at the
very end of the map. In Normal Mode, all of the
levels must be completed WITH their level
objectives in order to Bght Zomboss, which has
its own objectives, gimmicks and conditions.

Players cannot purchase Sun (Hard Mode only),

Plant Food, or Power Ups. All plants from the
Brst game are unlocked for the player. All plants
are locked at level 1. In Hard mode the player can
only use two plants from the second game as
well as not having any lawnmowers except
during Elite Zombie and Zomboss levels. Seven
plants can't be used in Memory Lane at all:
Auberninja, Geisha Flower, Pokra, Escape Root,
Snap Pea, Headbutter Lettuce and Power Lily.

In Normal mode, the player can pick up to to

three additional objectives (e.g. "Produce at
least 5555 sun", "Don't lose any lawn mowers",
etc) for additional rewards, failing them results in
losing a level similar to failing objectives in the
international version of the game since the 1.7
update. In Hard mode all objectives are
obligatory.

Rewards for beating levels are gems, money,

"Snail Medals" in Normal Mode and "Rainbow
Snail Medals" in Hard Mode, which can be used
in Memory Lane's shop to buy plant's Puzzle
Pieces, artifacts and materials for their upgrade,
money and proBle icons. Products bought with
Snail Medals restock every day while products
bought with Rainbow Snail Medals stay the
same and doesn't restock until the season
changes.

Each level can either be a day, night, pool, fog or

a roof level. Day levels are standard. During night
levels sun doesn't fall from the sky. Pool levels'
three middle lanes are fully covered in water.
Fog levels combine the mechanics of night and
pool levels. And Roof levels have a slope, over
which projectiles of straight shooters can't go,
and all non-aying plants there can only be
planted on Flower Pots.

Time stability system

All levels have a time stability clock, which starts

at 99 ticks. As level goes on, the timer ticks
down. Each time Plant Food is used, the timer's
time increases by 5.

As the timer ticks down, new anomalies are

introduced to the level:

Worm-holes: At 80 ticks worm-holes start to

appear over the lawn. They teleport plants
and zombies that are standing over them
and transport them to a random tile on the
lawn.
Portals: At 70 ticks Portals start to appear.
They appear once in lanes 1 and 5 and
spawn zombies. Portal spawns are identical
on all levels through a major game update.
Black holes: At either 20, 15 or 10 ticks a
Black hole will pull all plants one tile to the
right.
Destabilization: At 0 ticks the player loses
the level.

Level "gimmicks" and

"conditions"
Note: All names in this section are conjectural. If
you know the o@cial names or have better
translations, please contact a wiki administrator
to change them.

Memory Lane features "gimmicks", which are

applied to levels in groups of four, and weekly
"conditions", which are applied to all levels in
both modes.

start of the level.
Zomboss tiles are
environment modiOers
that cannot be

zombies that walk over
them in diQerent ways
depending on the type

from springboards can
be blown away by
plants such as Blover

planted on
springboards.

Turkeys Turkeys are similar to

(守护⽕鸡) the dumplings from

at the beginning of

destroyed by zombies.

the turkeys needs to
be destroyed in order

(保护汤圆) appear at the start of a
level. Players need to
protect the tangyuan
in the bowl from being
eaten, similarly to
Dumplings and
Turkeys. There are
three tangyuan in
each bowl. When a
zombie bites a
tangyuan, they will
pop out and paste the
zombie's feet, blocking
their movement. The
tangyuan at the
zombie's feet have a
certain amount of
health, which can be
eaten by the zombie
