I, Zombie Endless is the tenth and last level of I, Zombie in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition. It is the endless level of I, Zombie. When the player reaches a streak of ten in I, Zombie Endless, they will earn the achievement Better Off Dead. The level has an unlimited number of streaks where the player can continue as far as they can go as long as they have at least 50 or more sun.
The ways for the level to end are if the player starts a next streak and there are no zombies present in the lawn with less than 50 sun, and the level is restarted.
List of possible combinations[]
Each streak has a possibility to be a certain layout. In all of the following layouts, one to eight Sunflower(s) are included (Puff-shrooms replace Sunflowers the further the player goes), dependent on the amount of sun the player has, as well as the player's streak. The Scaredy layout, has more sunflowers than usual (up to 13) and is also the very rare and easiest, as only one imp may still be able to clear one lane with other zombies on nearby lanes while Scaredy is hiding. The frequency of the scaredy layout notably affects how far a player can go.
Other plants in each layout:
- Composite layout (30%) *ā one Starfruit, one Torchwood, one Squash, one Fume-shroom, two Chompers, one Potato Mine, one Umbrella Leaf, one Magnet-shroom, one Peashooter, one Split Pea, one Threepeater, one Snow Pea, one Wall-nut, one Kernel-pult and two Spikeweeds.
- Control layout (30%) *ā one Torchwood, three Spikeweeds, one Threepeater, one Magnet-shroom, one Umbrella Leaf, three Split Peas, three Snow Peas, one Repeater and three Kernel-pults.
- Instant kill layout (20%) *ā three Chompers, four Potato Mines, three Squashes, three Spikeweeds and four Fume-shrooms
- Peas layout (4%) ā nine Snow Peas, four Repeaters, and four Split Peas.
- Star and Spike layout (4%) ā eight Starfruits, nine Spikeweeds.
- Exploding layout (4%) ā eight Chompers and nine Potato Mines.
- Magnet and fume layout (4%) ā eight Magnet-shrooms and nine Fume-shrooms.
- Scaredy layout (4%) - twelve Scaredy-shrooms and 5 extra Sunflowers.
Note : * = layout that probably appears after you restart by resetting or losing the level.

The magnet and fume layout is probably the most difficult one, due to the fact that Magnet-shrooms can stop the Digger Zombie, Ladder Zombie, Buckethead Zombie, and Football Zombie, and the Fume-shrooms can kill Dancing Zombie, as well as its Backup Dancers, and Imps quickly. Hence, only the Conehead Zombie, Pole Vaulting Zombie, and Bungee Zombie, which also are all weak, can be used initially. The player will need a lot of sun for this setup, unless the placement was bad.

Trivia[]
- The exploding layout is similar to ZomBoogie, except that sometimes, a Sunflower gets replaced by a Puff-shroom.
- Although this I, Zombie level is endless, the streak record has a limit of 2,147,483,647 (using Cheat Engine). After that, the streak will be negative but the level will still continue.
- This happens because 2,147,483,647 (231 - 1) is the maximum value of signed 32-bit integer in computing, and attempting to reach a value higher than this results in an integer overflow.
- If the player runs out of sun to place a zombie by having less than 50 sun during a streak or upon starting the next streak, the losing dialog box says "You made it to a streak of (number of streaks that the player completed)" and only the game over music plays. The said losing message is also used in Vasebreaker Endless.
- In iOS and Android versions, the dialog box title says "GAME OVER", while on console, DS, and PC versions, the name of the level is instead used (I, Zombie Endless).
- The reason why the name of a level is used on console, DS, and PC versions as the dialog box header instead of the generic "GAME OVER" text is because on Lawnstrings.txt, the text says "[ENDLESS_PUZZLE_DEATH_MESSAGE]: You made it to a streak of {STREAK}", with [ENDLESS_PUZZLE_DEATH_MESSAGE] part is programmed to display a level name (I, Zombie Endless) as the header.
- Due to the game over music being played when the dialog box appears, it is possible to skip the music by exiting the game over screen through restarting (Try Again) or exit the level (Main Menu/Menu/Quit (depending on the version)) while the music plays.
- When the next streak starts and the losing dialog box appears due to having less than 50 sun (not able to place any more zombies), the sound for entering the streak and game over music will play together, with the game over music will last to be played before everything become silent.
- In iOS and Android versions, the dialog box title says "GAME OVER", while on console, DS, and PC versions, the name of the level is instead used (I, Zombie Endless).
- This is the only I, Zombie level with an extra objective where the player must have at least 50 sun to start the next streak and continue the level (able to buy an Imp) that otherwise if no zombies are present in the lawn and starting a streak while having less than 50 sun, they will lose the level.
- However, the text "Sun is carried over between levels, you must carry over at least 50 sun or you will lose the game!" is only present on iOS/Android versions. It is absent on other versions like the PC version, but the mechanics of a level is still the same.
