Every Plant in Neon Mixtape Tour Ranked From WORST to BEST | Plants VS Zombies 2

The first world since Far Future to introduce more than 5 plants is a tough one and the plants unlocked in the world are quite the mixed bag. While some have unique abilities that can save your seeds, others are among the worst in the game. Also, this is my longest video so far in the series. No idea how that happened.

A few updates I should have made ages ago: - Yes I know I pronounced ‘Thyme’ wrong. I realised that upon being corrected the first time, I don’t need a hundred comments telling me I’m dumb because of it. Hell y’all probably mispronounced my name at first if you saw it written prior. - A bit of confusion on the Intensive Carrot entry. Regarding the Sun-Shroom, what I meant to get across is that you should only use it on this plant when boosted as it instantly brings it back to its full form (due to that being part of the Sun-Shroom’s Plant Food effect); if the Sun-Shroom’s not boosted it will start again at its lowest form. Ditto to some other plants like Potato Mine and Strawburst. - Yes I think Garlic sucks. No I don’t have to think otherwise because ShyGuyMask likes him. He is just one guy with an opinion, much like myself. - I also got the bit about NMT being a 'night world' wrong; I thought it was just because in the world selection menu the background turns purple when you scroll onto it, like Dark Ages does. You still get falling sun and the levels are named 'Day X' instead of 'Night'. EDIT 9/3/2022: The Goodpea2 reference was unintentional... and regrettable. I was just simply looking for images of the Thyme Warp.

6: Garlic He was one of my favorites in PvZ1, with so few counters that Garlic+Gloom-Shroom was viable, and even had a name: Gloomwalk. But now Gloom-Shroom was replaced and half the zombies counter him. 5: Intensive Carrot Tired of losing all your Winter Melons? Put them in the back like a normal person! Sunflowers are actually not best in the back, as the back should be reserved for your primary offense or Winter Melon. Intensive Carrot is rarely useful, especially when costing 100 sun. If it costed 0, it would be one of my favorites. I could never justify using it. 4: Phat Beet Gloom-Shroom was nerfed! Yay... 3: Thyme Warp A cool plant that I used every so often but I don’t anymore. 2: Spore-Shroom spore-shroom means more shroom. Spore-Shroom means more shroom!

Favorite world! Let’s get my list started: 6: Garlic (He has some uses like you mentioned, primarily to lure zombies into the range of Phat Beet or Electric Currant, but gets killed way quicker and is just all around useless). 5: Thyme Warp (He can be useful in his world, where he’s allowed, but his slow recharge and the fact that he heals all zombies is not good). 4: Phat Beet (If Gloom Shroom didn’t need to be planted on Fune Shrooms and isn’t nocturnal, that’s basically Phat Beet, but like Gloom Shroom, there aren’t many situations I find him necessary in). 3: Spore Shroom (For the reasons you brought up plus if you have no other plants to use with Ail Mint in Arena, he’s a good choice). 2: Celery Stalker (Does devistating damage at a quick speed. However, he is vulnerable when out of the ground, so that brings him down). 1: Intensive Carrot (Reviving plants is a great idea, and it’s why he’s up here, but his only problem is like the ever so worthless Aloe, he only heals defensive plants to half their health. Still tops the list though!) Next up, we have the 3 hardest worlds in the game. And I’ll be there like always...

My opinion: 6th - Garlic [If you're supposed to be bitten then why the heck do you get eaten up so fast (at least in PvZ 1). Sure, ok paired with Phat Beat but...] 5th - Thyme Warp ["The Thyme Warp cannot be used in this level..." huh? Sorry, did I say something? Not to mention recovers zombies to full health.] 4th - Phat Beat [Now we're in the good. Remember Gloom Shroom? This is a slow version of it.] 3rd - Spore Shroom [I turned into a Spore-Shroom, Conehead Zombie! I'm Spore-Shroom Basic Zombie!] 2nd - Intensive Carrot [Aloe but better, and maybe to go far, actually good. Aloe was too slow to be a healer when I used it in the Epic Quest.] 1st - Celery Stalker [Bonk Choy sacrifices it hitting from the front for hiding and more damage.]

YES, Doom Shroom was my favorite plant in the 1st game too! It's just amazing, the drawback is accaptable, the damage is unbelievable and the visuals and effect... Mhh, chef's kiss. I kinda get the reference with the balloon bomb plant (forgot her name for a sec, sorry) plant food effect, but it's not the same and feels fake and less powerful.

[@James-ym9sv]

Not sure if many people know this but Ultomato's plant food effect at level 1 is as strong as Doom Shroom.

[@mikethegoo]

@@James-ym9sv... Holy shit... But do you mean in both damage and range, or only damage? Because one of the best things about the Doom Shroom is that I could wipe out basically the whole board with it in one blow, if the Ultomato just does one lane, then I still think Doom Shroom is better! (also because, at least in 1, it could one-shot everything except Zombot and maybe the gargantuar, which is probably different in 2, since they made upgraded zombies unreasonably strong in some cases)

[@James-ym9sv]

@@mikethegoo According to the pvz wiki, doom shroom's area is 5x7 and no it can't one-shot a gargantuar. Same with Ultomato. The damage they deal is the same, at 1800 dps. I forgot to mention that the ultomato kills itself after its plant food effect. You know Doom Shroom's drawback.

[@mikethegoo]

@@James-ym9sv Doom shroom's drawback... I can give 2. 1, it's a single-use plant with a long recharge 2, it leaves a crater, which prevents you from using that tile for a while. But the question is... Is Ultomato's plant food area of effect single-line, like you expect if you see its regular attack, or is it multi-line and similar to doom shroom? If it's similar, it's about equal use, except it has a normal attack as well, which would make it objectively better, if the price and recharge is similar or better (I forgot). If it's not, then I would argue doom shroom is better if you think of the "big boom for a single wipe" thing. Clearly they're meant for different things, but if you assume that the goal is "kill as many zombies as possible in a single blow", then the point stands.

Now on to the good ones 3: intensive carrot: definitely useful for when you have an expensive plant and only have 100 sun, it's definitely a good plant and I would recommend using it... 2: spore shroom; I don't know why but this plant seems like it would be in the first game if the roof had a nighttime version, it's definitely useful... There's only one left 1: celery stalker: this plant is just really to me, it helps me a lot, and I would definitely recommend using it! So that's my crappy list.

6th: Garlic. Remember how useful it was? Not anymore, because it doesn't synergize well anymore. 5th: Intensive Carrot. I only find it useful when reviving expensive plants like Winter Melon. 4th: Spore-shroom. Its concept is interesting, but when it defeats a zombie, it's like a waste of space that can remove spaces you're meant to put some of your defenses on. 3rd: Thyme Warp. It's cool, rewinding zombies and putting them back where they started is quite good, but it heals the zombies it rewinds, and its recharge is slow. 2nd: Phat Beet. It's able to attack in a three-by-three area, and its fourth-sixth attack is a critical attack. It's good as well because it's immune to Boombox Zombie's immobilization. 1st: Celery Stalker. Celery Stalker can stay on its tile for a long time, even after the level, and not much zombies can fully destroy it. It can also attack backwards with heavy damage. It's underrated but I like it

Yet Another Listing. 8. Garlic: A good plant from the first game, it got knocked down several levels. It got less health, one bite isn't enough to trigger its effect and multiple zombies can kill it without its ability coming into effect. It does really poorly in its homeworld as well due to most zombies having an ability to negate its use. It only has one niche that isn't taken by other plants: protecting electric currants. 7. Phat Beet: A pretty poor plant, it has some uses but there are other better choices. 6. Intensive Carrot: Good idea on paper but difficult to use effectively. 5. Electric Blueberry: Can instant-kill pretty much any zombie. Its randomness makes it unpredictable and somewhat unreliable and it takes a while to be able to fire its attacks off. 4. Thyme Warp: A last resort plant to send all zombies back to the start. It does heal them back to full however and it can only be sued in one world. 3. Cactus: An improvement from her first game counterpart, she deals some solid damage. 2. Spore Shroom: A good mushroom. It deals solid damage and has a good plant food effect. It is a bad choice in Dont lose more than x plants and don't have more than x plant levels however. The spore shroom needs to land the kill to spawn more spore shrooms. 1. Celery Stalker: Somewhat hard to get used to but they deal devastating damage to what is behind it.

[@oosha2000]

Here's my list: 1) Celery stalker: An awesome plant which can deal with the zombies backward especially in jurassic marsh, it can also tackle hair metal gargantuar. 2) Thyme warp: Despite the slow recharge, it's a lifesaver when there's a huge wave of zombies approaching. Too bad, it's limited to its native world. 3) Spore-shroom: By killing a zombie, he can make another clone which is awesome. Avoid using him in lost city where there's parasol zombie since she's immune to it. 4) Phat beet: Neural about it. 5) Intensive carrot: Would be better if it could revive a plant at full health even if it needs to level up. 6) Garlic: Sorry to put him here. He was solid in pvz 1 but now he's fragile in pvz 2 even with slow recharge.

Yea honestly it doesn't work as great in mixtape tour or any world where zombie one shot/push your plants

[@hyton3]

Hey PopCap! I'm still waiting or the Doom-Shroom to be back! PopCap: Boom Balloon Flower plant food. Take it, or leave it

[@seizedclod22]

Doesn’t sun still drop in Neon Mixtape Tour though? If so, why would it be nighttime?

[@potatowen10]

(Uses garlic,phat beat, gloom vine, and electric currant for ultra power

[@greenhum50]

Me: buys electric current for garlic MC Zom-b and Hair metal garagntuar: I’m gonna have to stop you right there

[@Jmaniac9204]

I would switch celery stalker and intensive carrot.

[@Chie4life]

The seed selecting theme is great!

[@Mary_Rose_Uni]

So in pvz2 all the worlds have some time theme. What time frame is neon mixtape tour? The 80s? Also what is big wave beaches?

[@GNVS300]

According to the game description Big Wave Beach is set in the 60's.

[@Mary_Rose_Uni]

@@GNVS300 thank you

[@birdiementlegen226]

I've always wondered why'd they even nerfed Garlic in the first place. Yeah, it was hella good in PvZ 1, but it was because it had very few counters. Even without the health nerf, PvZ 2 has many more zombies that can either bypass or destroy it, so it would've been pretty balanced anyways.

[@10thDoctorWhoovez]

Honestly though if they wanted to nerf Garlic, they should have at least make him a bit more expensive. Not wait 20 seconds and trash health.

[@bruh985yearsago5]

@@10thDoctorWhoovez if i am correct he has the same health as in pvz 1 just that zombies take an extra bite so he end ups being eaten faster

[@funboi69]

Mine (concluding premium plants) 8th : garlic 7th : celery stalker 6th : electric blueberry 5th : phat beet 4th : Intensive carrot 3rd : thyme warp 2nd : spore-shroom 1st : cactus

[@Dry_Dark_Spirit]

I doesn't really take place at night 'cause you can still collect sun falling

[@DaRainbowDude]

my list: including premium plants 8th: phat beet nerfed gloom shroom with small speed, and when the boombox zombies come, you can just pick them off anyways, doesn't work well with wall nuts and it's back attack is usually not needed when u even get the chance to use it you won't think of phat beet, only celery stalkers and stuff 7th: intensive carrot isn't mentioned much at all, easy to forget, wastes a seed slot, and oh wow no super op tall nut strats and stuff, and high cost plants are usually safe or too powerful anyways 6th: garlic works wonders with the electric currant (that I have) and helps plants like split pea and celery stalker safely chip off the health of zombies, and with enough sun, can pay for itself, just needs to have no instant killers 5th: spore shroom overall powerful but loses drastically because of it's powerful but slow attacks usually being stolen, and the defense is still much weaker with it alone and clones will be eaten easily, barely landing more than a couple shots, plus it has no refunds on the clones, good plant but needs a buff 4th: cactus whenever I use this plant, it's awesome, it has a powerful attack, and a creative ground mode, the downside is that in ground mode, it will be dug up, smashed and stuff instead, and a normal spikeweed doesn't deal that much dmg without a wall, so it's usually either ground mode or not, and ground mode is a scam, and if a zombie passes, it will be strong enough to pass it anyways 3rd: thyme warp lifesaver, stalls heavily and even with the health regen, it forms clusters for cherry bombs to deal with, and gives lot of sun time too, the problem is that It doesn't do anything else really, so It can't do much 2nd: celery stalker insane damage, low price, fine recharge, perfect with garlic, but will be dug up and smashed when it is defensive placed, like in front of a wall nut, but can beat up zombies when placed past them, OP 1st: electric blueberry would've made the final phase easy as pie, can use lightning quickly, powerful, affordable, a bit annoying recharge, this thing is worth the 0.10 cents of renting I can't believe viddy's vids actually made this an f tier

[@10thDoctorWhoovez]

Electric Currant now has a built in Garlic feature. So using Garlic will be obsolete.

[@10thDoctorWhoovez]

Also Viddy's Vids only put E. Blueberry on F tier because it's a money premium plant.

[@DaRainbowDude]

@@10thDoctorWhoovez dude do I look blind to you?

[@mishawndoston2439]

My list 6. Garlic (Even in pvz 1 if you weren't using any specific garlic strat, this plant can go completely unused) 5. Intensive carrot (Just saying you'll only need to use this plant if the level is really chaotic and the zombies ate your plants and you used a power up or two to get rid and now you're just really low on sun and can't get that plant back, there is no other scenario to use it otherwise you're just bad at the game) 4.Thime Warp (Similar to the intensive carrot except a bit more useful, this plant is really a last resort as in if you are about to die and the zombies have reached your house, otherwise it's a waste of 75 sun) 3. Phat beet (Does constant damage around him, can be good with garlic but it's damage is low average and not good with the neon mixtape your zombies) 2. Spore-shroom (Being able to make more spore-shroom by it killing a zombie is crazy good and it's long range making them more useful in neon mixtape tour than any of the other plants) 1.celery stalker (Even though it can't become as useful in the world it was unlocked in than the spore shroom, it can come really handy in other worlds since this plant attacks zombies behind it doing great damage while holding off any zombies that comes in the of it before it ducks in the ground to prevent getting eaten but it can still get owned by zombies that doesn't eat the plants)

[@mikethegoo]

Wait, Phat Beat does critical hits?

[@Dry_Dark_Spirit]

Even though Neon Mixtape Tour takes place at night, you can still collect sun from the sky which is weird

[@GNVS300]

I got that bit wrong, I think I just assumed it was a Night world because the background turns purple when you scroll onto it in the world selection menu, just like Dark Ages.

[@Dry_Dark_Spirit]

@@GNVS300 Well Crazy Dave did say it took place at night in one of the cutscenes.

[@EnvyyTouchedMe]

Garlic is rly good for penny's pursuit

[@randomuser.5356]

Popcap said that they're going to make Thyme Warp usable in any world in a soon upcoming update. It costs 100 sun now, though. Edit: fixed grammar mistake

[@jeannienorris8512]

TWO doom shroom complaints in one video dang

[@mr.oinks_5_424]

My ranking: 6. Spore shroom. His shots can be inaccurate when spawning a new spore shroom, on its own is pretty unreliable but with something like fume shroom it can be good. I also agree with you on it being useful on certain objective levels such as don’t spend more than an amount of sun. But overall unless you upgrade it’s damage it’s severely weak. 5. Garlic. Only reason this is higher is because it can be good with Phat beet, electric currant, and against dinosaurs. Other than that it’s health is borderline bad, most of it’s homeworld zombies are instant killers and it’s a random chance that a zombie will go either left or right (unless on the top or bottom lane). It’s recharge is also very slow so there’s that as well. 4. Phat beet. No doubt one of those plants that won’t work well unless with support. But even with support it’s damage is still not great, it’s plant food is just embarrassing. Immune to boom box zombies effect yes but those zombies barely show up in neon mixtape tour as well as in Greatest hits. 3. Thyme warp. The fact that it is an exclusive plant to NMT holds it back a lot but really it’s a good life saver for when any gargantuars reach the far left of the lawn or any other zombie. Slow recharge is also a big flaw with it but I see that as fair as using it every 10 seconds would be extremely overpowered. 2. Intensive carrot. Bringing back ANY plant in the game with intensive carrot is pretty good although it’s 20 second recharge and it’s half health recovery for a plant are what hold it back a lot. But overall it’s not a bad support plant to have when relying on an expensive plant such as Melon pult or banana launcher or any wall nut 1. Celery stalker. Not one of my top favorite plants but I’ll admit it has some pretty nasty damage it can deal. Attacks very quickly, hits from behind and goes underground. Bonk Choy is a reliable plant for taking out zombies form behind but celery stalker is much more useful. Even when being the top spot it doesn’t mean it has its flaws. It can still be knocked out of the lawn or pushed forward in the lawn by an anklosaurus in Jurassic marsh, it’s front shield health is not great and plant food is mediocre. But overall a good plant.

[@KhajaSodhu]

Celery is one of my favourite plants

[@MegaDude10]

"Thyme" is pronounced "Time" . Thyme Warp is supposed to be a play on "Time Warp", as it warps zombies back in time.

[@baboommsmthebananaphoneenjoyer]

My list 6th- Garlic- Garlic was good in the first game but who the heck would want this in the second game??? There are SOOOOOO many better options in PvZ 2! 5th- Thyme Warp- I loved this plant! Then I realized it healed zombies. Now it’s down here. 4th- Phat Beat- not much to say here... 3rd- Intensive Carrot- I like this plant but I really have never had a problem with zombies destroying my expensive plants seeing I normally use cheaper plants that have no real reason to be brought back if eaten. 2nd- Spore Shroom- not really much to say that hasn’t already been said 1st- Celery Stalker- this thing is great. Just great

[@zackarykianbaltazar970]

Neon Mixtape Tour Ranking 6. Garlic- Very few situations where this plant is functional. Just cheap, nothing that exciting. 5. Phat Beet- A worse Gloom shroom and doesn't even do that much damage. Barely functional on minecarts and even worse, doesn't work on chickens or weasels. 4. Intensive Carrot- Good thing for it is saving sun on expensive plants like winter-melon and coconut cannon. Slow recharge and defeated plants come back at half health are its flaws. 3.Thyme Warp- Good for saving endangered plants but injured zombies come back at full health and the fact its not available in other worlds. 2. Spore-shroom- There's only 1 situation that benefits the zombies with spore-shroom and that's trap tiles in lost city. Overall, Good for making plants without planting is nice for all the lazy ones. 1. Celery Stalker- This plant is good for damaging heaps of health when there's a zombie behind it. Good for defeating Prospecters, Explorers, Shovels, Wizards and more. Best plant in its world. P.S: This is own opinion so don't take it too seriously.

[@murder2686]

Garlic can serve 1 purpose though; luring zombies into a lane and then lane killing them If you try to lure zombies into a specific lane and then use Lazer Bean, Jalapeño, Potatoes Mine, Cherry Bomb, or any plant that’s damage/kill zombies based on their lane/tile and not individual zombies Doesn’t save it though

[@Extra47]

It can also be used to separate Arcade Zombies from their arcade machines(or Barrel Rollers or whatever other zombies that push things) if you place it right.

*Big buck*

[@ImSkinnyIswear]

intensive carrot + aloe =good combo

[@tehm6200]

My list: 8: electric blueberry, it’s only useful for Gargs because it insta kills them 7: garlic, good with electric currant strategies and rotobaga and starfruit strategies 6: cactus: it’s main purpose is for the neon mixtape tour boss fight, one of the worst 5: phat beet: it’s low damege makes it useless but when you plant it in multiple rows it’s useful 4: celery stalker, a sweet plant with the plant food effect to duplicate but serves for glitter zombies 3: intensive carrot, if your high sun cost plant dies intensive carrot will save your days 2: thyme warp, I would top it in the list if it wasn’t world exclusive because that makes no sense 1: spore shroom, I rarely use it in the final levels of neon mixtape tour because it’s good for its damege which I,ll allow and spawning a clown of it when it deafeats a zombie makes it very good when doing hard worlds That’s my list

[@t1n4bag_hhhhhhh69]

What a P2W player, Premium plants don't count

[@tehm6200]

I know but I am just adding them because yes

[@_pines4414]

The world when things starts to get hard: 1. Spore-shroom: I like its ability. It's the most useful plant on the world as well. 2. Celery Stalker: Another plant I like to use in other worlds, especially in the Modern Days because of Newspaper Zombie. 3. Thyme Warp: It's a shame that it can't be used in other worlds, but makes its job. 4. Intensive Carrot: I know it's a good plant, but I never used XD 5. Phat beet: It's a bad gloom-shroom. 6. Garlic: Still useless.
