Boss Mode is a unique mode in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare which allows players to take on the roles of either Crazy Dave or Dr. Zomboss to support their troops from a top-down view. This mode utilizes the Kinect or a SmartGlass compatible device. It is not in the playstation versions of the game.
Resources[ | ]
The biggest challenge in Boss Mode is managing resources. When playing in this mode, Brainz and Sundrops will fall on the screen. You will have to grab them, with each worth 25 of that resource, to effectively deploy your resources and troops.
Health and Danger[ | ]
Keep in mind that in Boss Mode, you ARE NOT invincible - quite the opposite in fact, as both Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss hover above the battlefield as giant targets. Each boss only has 2,000HP, making them susceptible to concentrated fire.

Airstrike[ | ]
The Airstrike is the most powerful destructive ability in the game, allowing you to cut off an entire area to the enemy through the use of a timed, highly damaging barrage of explosives.
Heal[ | ]
