Other strategies that normally work with Starfruit can also be used in this mini-game to help fending off the horde until the objective is completed. Because of this, Pumpkin will prove to be highly useful in defending Starfruits in more vulnerable positions. To win the mini-game, the player must plant Starfruit on the designated tiles - the only other plant that can be placed there is Pumpkin. Possible methods include planting Starfruit on water lanes in Pool levels where there are less pressure from zombies, or guiding the horde with Garlic. The player can improve Starfruit's performance by funneling the zombies away from the plant, reducing or avoiding the risk of direct attacks altogether. Because of this, the plant is likely going to be deployed in columns, in which each Starfruit can cover others. However, this is hampered by Starfruit's awkward firing pattern, which makes the plant incapable of defending himself from direct assault. His strength lies in his relatively high firepower potential for his cost, as well as the ability to neutralize enemies attempting to attack plants from the back, such as Digger Zombie in the first game and Prospector Zombie in the second. Starfruit stands out from other projectile-based for specializing in attacking lanes other than the lane he is planted on. Starfruits shoot stars in five directions. In this game, Starfruit has his own mini-game called Seeing Stars, where the player is required to fill up certain tiles with Starfruit to form a giant star in order to complete the level. He costs 125 sun (175 in Versus Mode) to plant. Starfruit is unlocked after completing Level 4-6. About For more information about this character, see Starfruit.
