Plants vs Zombies was released by PopCap Games in 2009, with its soundtrack composed by Laura Shigihara. The pool area appears midway through Adventure Mode as the first water based stage, introducing lily pads and new aquatic zombies. Its music became one of the most recognised themes from the game as players shared gameplay online and reused the stage themes in fan videos, remixes and nostalgic edits, keeping the pool soundtrack familiar long after the original release.
