As he's a mushroom, he's only active at night (but in the second game, he becomes diurnal). He's much like Puff-shroom in his functions, except that he's an aquatic plant. Costs 0 sun, recharges slowly.

As he's a mushroom, he's only active at night (but in the second game, he becomes diurnal). He's much like Puff-shroom in his functions, except that he's an aquatic plant. Costs 0 sun, recharges slowly. In the sequel, he has lowered health and a limited lifespan of 60 seconds. If given Plant Food, he and all the other Sea-shrooms on screen will fire 30 spores and their life span will be reset.


Added DiffLines:

* AlphaStrike: Like Puff-shroom, if you give one of your planted Sea-shrooms Plant Food, ''all of them'' will rapidly fire forward at enemies without needing Tile Turnip. It also has the nice side effect of resetting their limited lifespan.


Added DiffLines:

* MoreDakka: When given Plant Food, he and all the other Sea-shrooms on the lawn will rapidly fire spores at the zombies.


Added DiffLines:

* YourDaysAreNumbered: In the second game, just like Puff-shrooms, Sea-shrooms have finite lifespan of 60 seconds. You can extend it if you give one of them Plant Food, though. Leveling them up also causes them to get a longer lifespan.

Added DiffLines:

* TheArtifact: Its whole purpose is to make collecting coins easier for PC players, as that version otherwise requires players to click each coin to collect them. Many other versions of the game let the player collect coins by simply moving their cursor/finger near them or even shaking the device, both of which are obviously faster and cheaper than buying a plant for that purpose.
