Name: Scaredy-Shroom

Debut: Plants vs. Zombies

Here is Scaredy-Shroom! A very humble fellow, who I love very much. Scaredy-Shroom is scared, as you likely know. He is frightened, uncomfortable in the given situation. And as someone easily scared, I can relate to this! Especially when I was younger and even more easily scared! When I first heard about Plants vs. Zombies, I thought "Zombies? I don't want to see that!" and assumed it had to be a Scary Game. And now kids are growing up as Scary Freddy The Scare Bear fans. I would not have done well as an iPad Kid. BUT ANYWAY!

Scaredy-Shroom may be scared. But he is courageous! Arguably. I don't think he would be fighting zombies if he was not planted by the player. But he's here, and he does a good job, even if he is scared! I am proud of him. He has a low sun cost, respectable damage, and infinite range! He DOES cower under his cap if zombies are too close, but it is a small setback, and you owe it to him to keep him feeling safe, after all he's done for you!

While he does a good job at night, there is really no point to using Scaredy-Shroom during the day. He'll be asleep, so you'll need to use Coffee Bean to wake him up, and at that point you've spent as much as you would have on a Peashooter! And Peashooter does not cower and stop shooting at any point! I think this is okay, though. Scaredy-Schroom doesn't need to be a miracle worker. He is very stressed and needs his sleep. Look, his cap is even shaped like a pointed sleeping cap, a little! He is so cute.

Have you heard the news? It's part of why I'm making this post! Scaredy-Shroom was NOT in PvZ2 for a very long time, but just recently, after about 10 years, was added back! At first, I was hesitant about the slight redesign, specifically the cap. This is no longer a pointed hat, but instead has a jagged, seemingly broken bottom! I really do wonder if this was intentional, or a misinterpretation of the original design. Oh well! I have decided I like it, and looking kind of disheveled fits his character! He doesn't have arms to do it with, but it makes me think of him rubbing or picking at his cap when nervous, like I fiddle with my hair. He's just like me!

So? Was Scaredy-Shroom's big return worth the wait?

No, it was not! Scaredy-Shroom is, simply, just Not That Good. In the first game's night levels, he is good! He has his use and the game is built around that! But in 2, an unbalanced game with even more difficult zombies, as well as a steady stream of new and extremely powerful plants being added, he just does not have what it takes. They DID give him extra defense when hiding, but it's really not nearly enough. Indeed, Scaredy-Shroom in PvZ2 is not very good.

And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Like I've been saying, Scaredy-Shroom is, in the first game, useful in some levels, and nearly useless in others. He isn't SUPPOSED to be overpowered, or even strong! If he was, that wouldn't be Scaredy-Shroom! I can understand people being disappointed with his weakness in 2, but as someone who no longer plays it, I'm just happy to see him finally in a game again, and with a neat new design. Ideally, he would have been in the base game with campaign levels designed for his strengths, but it is too late for that.

In a way, it's good that he probably won't get used much. It gives him time to relax. I'll just let Scaredy-Shroom speak for himself here:

"How did I get talked into this? I wish I was at home."

🍄 Preliminaries: Plants VS Zombies 🍄

Puff-Shroom received more votes than the other submissions and so passes on, not only past the IP elimination, but the preliminaries in general! Winner of this poll will be in the preliminaries!

Sun-Shroom

“Sun-shroom hates sun. He hates it so much that when it builds up in his system, he spits it out as fast as he can. He just won't abide it. To him, sun is crass.”

“Oh sure, Sun-shroom is known for his ever-present grin and sunny disposition. But truth be told, even he has his dark days. It ain't easy keeping things light when you live in the shadows.” - Submission 172

Doom-Shroom

“"You're lucky I'm on your side," says Doom-shroom. "I could destroy everything you hold dear. It wouldn't be hard."” - Submission 173

Fume-Shroom

“"I was in a dead-end job producing yeast spores for a bakery," says Fume-shroom. "Then Puff-shroom, bless 'im, told me about this great opportunity blasting zombies. Now I really feel like I'm making a difference."”

“"I think of myself as a pretty confident shroom and an all-around fungi," says Fume-shroom. "But sometimes, when I'm eating Plant Food, I hear them chuckling. I hear them calling me "Balloon-shroom'. I don't think they know how much that hurts."” - Submission 174

Gloom-Shroom

“"I've always enjoyed releasing heavy fumes," says Gloom Shroom. "I know a lot of people aren't cool with that. They say it's rude or that it smells bad. All I can say is, would you rather have your brain eaten by zombies?"”

“Gloom-Shroom may look a little down, but they also look up, left, right, and diagonally. No matter what direction life goes, Gloom-Shroom always keeps the same expression.” - Submission 175

Hypno-Shroom

“"Zombies are our friends," asserts Hypno-shroom. “Theyre badly misunderstood creatures who play a valuable role in our ecology. We can and should do more to bring them round to our way of thinking.””

“Hypno-shroom has no trouble persuading zombies to fight on behalf of the plants. But he has yet to convince one to cluck like a chicken. "One day." he says. "One day."” - Submission 176

Ice-Shroom

“Ice-shroom frowns, not because he's unhappy or because he disapproves, but because of a childhood injury that left his facial nerves paralyzed.” - Submission 177

Sea-Shroom

“Sea-shroom has never seen the sea. It's in his name, he's heard loads about it, but he's just never found the time. One day, though, it'll go down.” - Submission 180

Scaredy-Shroom

“"Who's there?" whispers Scaredy-shroom, voice barely audible. "Go away. I don't want to see anybody. Unless it's the man from the circus."” - Submission 179

Magnet-Shroom

“Magnetism is a powerful force. Very powerful. Sometimes it scares Magnet-shroom a little. He's not sure if he can handle that kind of responsibility.”

“Despite his unusual appearance, Magnet-shroom doesn't have a problem attracting girlfriends. But he does have a problem keeping them. It's the same thing every time. In the end, they always find him too clingy.” - Submission 218

You know what? I think this is something that people need to get through their skulls.

Context: Plants vs Zombies 1, unmodded

Scaredy-Shroom is NOT a bad plant. It's actually pretty damn good. But why is that?

Let's take a look at his stats. He has the same damage as a peashooter (20), which can kill a basic zombie in 20 hits. She has a fast recharge time (7.5 seconds), and only costs 25 sun. However, it has two main weakness - it sleeps during the day and hides in the ground when enemies get close to it. This is what stops it from being a direct upgrade to the peashooter.

Let's tackle its main problem right from the start instead of doing some sort of foreplay bullshit. It hides from enemies when they get close to it. Why is this a problem? It makes the Scaredy-Shroom unable to attack or kill targets at close ranges. They don't have any durability buffs, so they go down in 5 seconds like any other plant. However, your Scaredy-Shrooms should never be close enough to a zombie to need to hide. They have the same range as the peashooter, being able to hit any zombies in front of it in its lane. This is a plant meant for the backline, hitting enemies from afar. Using it like a Puff-Shroom is what makes the plant bad. It's supposed to be a permanent part of your defense.

Let's take a closer look at the Peashooter itself. It is seen as a bad plant because it cannot effectively kill a Cone head. It is just barely capable of dealing with one on its own when placed in the back of the lawn. The existence of Repeater and Snowpea make the Peashooter irrelevant, as Sun is easy to generate during the day. However, those plants serve to condense the role of a Peashooter, as they both effectively deal the damage of two peashooters. It would take up more space to plant two peashooters, but they'd have the same effectiveness as a Repeater, which costs 200 sun.

What does this tell us about the Scaredy-Shroom? Let's take a look at the prices again. One Scaredy-Shroom is as effective as a Peashooter when you place it in the back. Two Scaredy-Shrooms have the same effectiveness as one Repeater. While a Repeater costs 200 sun, two Scaredy-Shrooms only cost 50. Being able to save 75% of your sun is very important in Night levels, where sun is much more difficult to come by.

In conclusion, Scaredy-Shroom is a great plant during night levels. Her main weakness is easy to avoid, and it is extremely easy to have the same effectiveness as a Repeater for a fraction of the cost. People who think Scaredy-Shroom is bad either underestimate the plant or do not use it correctly.
