- ALT1:... that Plants vs. Zombies was initially created to be continuation of Insaniquarium?
- ALT2:... that the tutorial of Plants vs. Zombies was designed to be simple and be spaced throughout Adventure mode?

Overall:

I don't think Alts 1 or 2 are particularly interesting. Strongly recommend linking the sources to hooks after the alt when the article is as long as this one. For ALT3, the given source suggests many gamers were were unsure if it was an April Fools Joke, not that they thought it was. ALT0 seems good to go Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 00:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
