How broken are premium plants in PvZ2 speedruns?

In the latest upload, EazySpeezy tackles a speedrun of every world in Plants vs Zombies 2 while employing any premium plants he chooses. The video notes that using premium plants is costly but accelerates progress. He clarifies that the attempt is a challenge rather than an official speedrun.

The run is segmented, with the creator taking breaks between certain worlds and pausing the timer during those intervals. This approach addresses hand fatigue that can result from prolonged phone play. The video credits editing to @TheSuitedBird.

The experiment aims to assess how broken premium plants are in the context of speedrunning. Viewers can see the impact of premium plant selection on overall completion times. The segmented format allows for clear comparison across worlds.
