+# Core Gameplay

+Plants vs. Zombies is a [tower defense](/wiki/tower_defense) game, in which players use Plants inspired by different types of plants and [fungi](/wiki/fungi), each with their own unique [offensive](/wiki/offense) and/or defensive capabilities, to defend their house and brains from [Zombies](/wiki/zombie). These [Plants](/wiki/plant) can be planted on a [grid](/wiki/grid) at the cost of [Sun](/wiki/sun), collected as it falls from the sky or generated by Sun-producing Plants like the [Sunflower](/wiki/sunflower). The many different variants of Zombies will make their way across the player's [lawn](/wiki/lawn), for the most part in a [straight line](/wiki/straight_line), eating and destroying the [Plants](/wiki/plant) that get in their way. [Lawn Mowers](/wiki/lawn_mower) guard the end of the lawn as a last line of defense, but if [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) manage to get past all of the player's defenses, they enter their house and eat their brains, causing the [level](/wiki/level) to fail.

+As a typical [tower defense](/wiki/tower_defense) game, new [Plants](/wiki/plant) are unlocked and new [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) appear as the levels progress. [Plants](/wiki/plant) can be chosen in the "Choose Your Seeds" menu before a level begins, and cannot be changed afterwards without restarting. The number of available seed slots can be improved through in-game currency. Additionally, the game features 5 different stages throughout its [Adventure Mode](/wiki/adventure_mode), each with 10 levels, including a mini-game level at X-5 and a "Final Battle" at X-10. Each of these stages also introduces its own unique mechanics, making use of the different traits and abilities of the [Plants](/wiki/plant) and the [Zombies](/wiki/zombie).

+Each normal level starts with basic [Zombies](/wiki/zombie), giving adequate time for the player to establish their [defense](/wiki/defense), and introduces more difficult [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) as the [level](/wiki/level) progressively becomes more complicated. [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) appear in waves rather than individually, and a "large wave" of [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) will appear every few waves, indicated by flags on the level's [progress bar](/wiki/progress_bar). Once all [Zombies](/wiki/zombie) waves have been defeated, the [level](/wiki/level) is won.

+# Jugabilidad Básica

+Plants vs. Zombies es un juego de defensa de torres, en el que los jugadores usan Plantas inspiradas en diferentes tipos de plantas y [hongos](/wiki/hongos), cada una con sus propias capacidades [ofensivas](/wiki/ofensiva) y/o defensivas únicas, para defender su casa y sus cerebros de los Zombis. Estas Plantas se pueden plantar en una [cuadrícula](/wiki/cuadricula) con el costo de Sol, recolectado a medida que cae del cielo o generado por Plantas productoras de Sol como el [Girasol](/wiki/girasol). Las muchas variantes diferentes de Zombis se abrirán paso por el césped del jugador, en su mayor parte en una [línea recta](/wiki/linea_recta), comiendo y destruyendo las Plantas que se interpongan en su camino. Las [Cortadoras de césped](/wiki/cortadora_de_cesped) resguardan el final del césped como una última línea de defensa, pero si los Zombis logran pasar todas las defensas del jugador, entran en su casa y se comen sus cerebros, haciendo fallar el [nivel](/wiki/nivel).

+Como un juego típico de defensa de torres, nuevas Plantas se desbloquean y nuevos Zombis aparecen a medida que los niveles progresan. Las Plantas se pueden elegir en el menú "Elige tus semillas" antes de que comience un nivel, y no se pueden cambiar después sin reiniciar. El número de ranuras de semillas disponibles se puede mejorar mediante la moneda del juego. Además, el juego presenta 5 etapas diferentes a lo largo de su Modo Aventura, cada una con 10 niveles, incluyendo un nivel de mini-juego en X-5 y una "Batalla Definitiva" en X-10. Cada una de estas etapas también introduce sus propias mecánicas únicas, haciendo uso de los diferentes rasgos y habilidades de las Plantas y los Zombis.

+Cada nivel normal comienza con Zombis básicos, dando tiempo adecuado al jugador para establecer su defensa, e introduce Zombis más difíciles a medida que el nivel se vuelve progresivamente más complicado. Los Zombis aparecen en oleadas en lugar de individualmente, y una "gran oleada" de Zombis aparecerá cada pocas oleadas, indicado por banderas en la barra de progreso del nivel. Una vez que todas las oleadas de Zombis han sido derrotadas, el nivel se gana.
