Cob Cannons can help significantly, since they can fire corn cob missiles on the Zomboni's ice trail. Already given the problem of Gargantuars and Giga-Gargantuars, using Spikerock might seem tempting, but put it quite far left so it will not die so quickly and most Zombonis and Gargantuars will die, and sometimes Giga-gargantuars. In Survival: Endless, dozens of Zombonis may spawn stacked on top of each other. Once a Jalapeno removes the Zomboni's ice trail, use Spikerocks to block future Zombonis.

Setting a Potato Mine, Squash, Spikeweed, or Chomper early in anticipation of a Zomboni helps significantly. The Jalapeno is at its best against Zombonis. Bobsled Bonanzaĭuring this level, an ice trail left by a Zomboni will not disappear. Note: Plants cannot be placed on the ice left by a Zomboni for a short period of time, so plan ahead, and have defenses set up in advance, especially if you decide to use Squash. But keep in mind that Zomboni himself is immune to hypnosis, and this may be harder to do in daytime levels as you need a zombie ahead of him to survive and actually eat the Hypno-shroom. Zomboni has a very large hitbox, so another good idea is to let hypnotized zombies eat him, since he will ignore hypnotized zombies and will not damage or crush them. On ground levels, if possible, place a Spikerock at the very edge of the battlefield and in every lane, and it should stop numerous Zombonis. This means to choose the Jalapeno and its Imitater version (if you are playing a level with many Zombonis and want to have a faster recharge). Besides Spikeweed and Spikerock, it is recommended to use the Jalapeno. A Chomper can devour the entire machine, and is one of the quickest recharging plants capable of defeating him. Piling on damage, just like any other zombie, will destroy a Zomboni, though this can be difficult, due to the Zomboni's immunity to freezing, higher speed and good health. The ice trail will melt by itself eventually, as long as no other Zombonis drive over it. If you kill the Zomboni, but you did not melt the ice trail, a Zombie Bobsled Team may appear. Although the Zomboni will leave an ice trail that nothing can be planted on, the Jalapeno can be used to melt the ice trail and kill the Zomboni simultaneously. Any instant kill will destroy it as well, as it is only as tough as a Buckethead. Spikeweeds or Spikerocks can be used to puncture its tires. Zombonis are also immune to the movement-inhibiting effect of Snow Peas, Winter Melons, Ice-shrooms, and Kernel-pults. Magnet-shrooms are also useless against the Zomboni. Wall-nuts and Tall-nuts cannot stop the Zomboni, as he will simply run them over. This will alert you to when he enters your lawn.
