On iPod Touch and iPhone versions, you can play this before you get Lily Pad. Of course, you will easily lose because you cannot defend the water lanes in any way apart from Cherry Bombs, which have a slow recharge.

Trivia
It has the second longest wait time between planting and the first zombie of the level coming with a 45-second wait time, with Pogo Party being the longest.
This does not apply in the Nintendo DS version.
If the hidden mini-game Air Raid is counted, it has the third longest wait time.
The Tree of Wisdom says it is "really, really, really difficult" to beat both this mini-game and Pogo Party without the Squash.
Unlike any other game modes, the ice trails do not disappear. In the Nintendo DS version though, ice trails normally disappear after Zombie Bobsled Teams appear (unless a Zomboni is in the same lane).
For some reason, on some older iPhone versions of this mini-game, the ice at the start covers an extra square.
It is the only mini-game where ice trails are already placed on the lawn before the start of a level.
It is the only time in which the Zombie Bobsled Team appears on the seed selection screen and the only mini-game where they appear.
There is a level with the same name that appears in Disney's game, Where's My Perry?.
On the seed selection screen, the Zombie Bobsled Team does not have an idle animation. This is because it does not appear on the seed selection screen anywhere else.
If the player manages to clear out all of the pre-existent ice trails, regular zombies will appear in a much higher density.
