Doom shroom doesn't technically hit every lane, it just has a radius of the entire field, which sounds the same, but if you plant it somewhere that isnt the center it moves the hit box accordingly

[@raphielle.]

the hitbox is 7x5 so it does hit every lane on non pool levels. Except that its hitbox expands to 7x6 on pool levels. So yeah basically

Each level is so RNG dependent when it comes to speedrunning this game but all in all, you handled it very well man, props!

[@Muchinoi]

Yeah and it's partly why I don't want to try doing my own run (never done a speedrun before) because the rng is frustrating for how much time is wasted if your run is bad. Love the game, childhood favorite, but I'll just avoid doing a run... for now at least.

[@SoVega301]

@@Muchinoi I like to think that rng is there to make the game more casual.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

Something you forgot to mention when introducing the Doom Shroom is that it actually has a range on it. If you plant it too close to the back or the front then the columns on the other side of the lawn don't get hit or take very little damage from the explosion in general. In my mind it's often best to either place it at the start of a large wave to get rid of a huge number towards the right of the screen or more towards the middle if they've already advanced too far. I used a Doom Shroom once after a Football Zombie broke through my defenses before I could hypnotize him once when I was first starting the game way back when it first came out and I tried to Doom Shroom him from the far right side but since he was already close to my mowers all it did was knock his helmet off and he proceeded to use my mower anyways because the explosion didn't kill him. It also doesn't one shot things like the Gargantuar because they have enough health to survive at one explosions and then die on the second.

[@ExhaustedTheaterKid]

My dad has started playing PVZ on his phone and I'm really happy. I used to play when I was younger but dropped it because I got frustrated - I absolutely love watching him play it now. He'll let me try the mini games and I got one he thought was impossible so that was a nice bonding moment.

Oh my nostalgia! One of my favorite things about PvZ was that there were different minigames for different versions. While I do like the PC minigames, I do prefer the DS ones due to the creativity of some of them. Bomb All Together, Air Raid, Heat Wave, all so creative. Those of you who have played the DS version might notice Homerun Derby is not on that list. That is because it was the bane of my existence and the only DS exclusive that I didn't like.

[@sezi9plays]

This was fun to watch and well done for getting 15th place. This inspires me to attempt a speedrun some day for pvz. Gloomshrooms make me so anxious though since they are expensive and it is so easy to lose them, I have been watching another KZbinr speedrun the survival levels and the amount of times I have seen him lose Gloomshrooms stresses me out. Too bad about the Column Like You See 'Em minigame though, the RNG breaks that minigame so often, if it doesn't give you enough squash or jalapeno the zombies just annihilate your defenses. I wonder how many people that watched this video have not played the game? I'm curious.
