* FaceShip: The Apprentice School of Wizardry appears to have four turrets. Each one looks like the Apprentice's hat.

* FaceShip: The Apprentice School of Wizardry appears to have four turrets. Each one looks like the Apprentice's NiceHat.

** In this mode, the rounds are non-stop, bloons from each round can overlap, and you don't gain cash between rounds, similar to ''[=BTD5's=] Apopalypse mode.

* NearVictoryFanfare: The Mobile version plays one when you are on the final round of a tile capture or MvM battle. It also plays when you reach the final round you need to beat in Contested Territory before capturing it.

*** The Mobile version even gives you ''100'' Bloonstones for beating round 100 in a CT Milestones event. Considering that you get fewer bloonstones from NLL tile captures, this is quite a hefty reward. The catch is that you may have to endure a longer run than in Flash due to the increased number of ZOMGs and the absence of Super Ceramics (Ceramic bloons that have 30-odd HP but don't spawn nearly as many children) that appear on round 31 onward in Flash.

*** In the Flash version, having enough cash saved up in the event of a failed MvM defense can prevent building damage. In 'Mobile', however, at least one building is always damaged regardless of stored cash.

** The Flash version rewards 5 bloonstones for every [=NLL=] tile (10 if Hardcore was active). The Mobile version only rewards 2 per tile, and doesn't have a Hardcore mode. Ninja Kiwi compensated for this by removing the bloonstone costs for researching third and fourth tier upgrades ''and'' for restarting an MvM defense in the event of defeat.

* ConstructAdditionalPylons

The game has been released on Ninja Kiwi's site and the iOS and Android App Store and Google Play, with the mobile version having all the towers from the mobile versions of BTD 5.

* LightningBruiser: D.D.T.s. They are tied with the Pink Bloon as the fastest bloon in the game, but they have enough health to kill you instantly if they get through. They also have the immunities of [[AllYourPowersCombined every type of Bloon in the game.]][[note]]They have Camo, Lead and Zebra status, meaning they are immune to explosions, immune to ice, immune to sharp things and most towers can't see them. Without upgrades, no towers can deal damage to them. Luckily, on mobile, they have no lead or zebra properties, so they're essentally just fast camo MOABs.[[/note]]

** Water: Bloonarius The Inflator resembles a fish. In ''Bloons Tower Defense 6'', they're also shown to live in a swamp.

** Water: Bloonarius The Inflator resembles a fish.

** Farm tiers higher than 2. They have higher cash capacities than the level 2 version, but their generation rate doesn't increase with level after tier 2.
*** The mobile version doesn't have farm tiers any higher than 2, likely with the intention that this version can be played more often.
* UsefulNotes/BetaTest: There is a Release Candidate out. You can play it [[http://ninjakiwi.com/Games/Tower-Defense/Play/Bloons-Monkey-City.html here.]]
** Now defunct, as the game exited beta some time ago.

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Surprisingly tame with it, until you hit the four {{Boss B|attle}}loons, which put ''Z.O.M.G.s'' to shame in terms of punishment they can take. Bloonarius is rather simple, just a metric ton of health and he spawns bloons, though he becomes an issue once he spawns MOAB-Class Bloons! Vortex slows towers down, but doesn't stop them, Dreadbloon has armor that reforms every hp segment taken off. But by far [[ThatOneBoss the worst is Blastapopulous]], the aptly-named Demon of the Core. No armor, but it fires projectiles that ''stun'' the most expensive and closest towers. On later levels, and when it gets low on health, it can ''[[StunLock freeze towers in place]]'' while it's minion bloons whittle your Lives down. You will fight it over and over just to shave off ''5%'', draining your City Cash dry. it's not really woth fighting after Level 4 as losses ''heavily'' outweigh gains against this cheater. [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat Dick Dastardly never had to stop to cheat with this jackass of a bloon.]]

** Earth: Dreadbloon, Armored Behemoth resembles a DrillTank, has armored properties of a Lead Bloon, and can grow a stone armor that takes damage for it instead.
** Fire: Blastapopoulos, Demon of the Core resembles a magma-filled Bloon and throws magma to stun your strongest towers.

*** Several quests require the capture of Hard or harder tiles to complete, and are not retroactive (i.e., a Hard tile you captured ''before;; one of these quests will not count).

** ''[[HarderThanHard Im]][[JustForPun pop]][[HarderThanHard pable]]''. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Good. Luck.]]''' Depends a lot on the stage you're in. In the beginning this is, indeed, impossible, since you'll end up buying all the available towers and it still won't be enough. You'll also face problems with leads and camos. Later on, though, very good strategy or TrialAndErrorGameplay may help you through.
* LightningBruiser: D.D.T.s. They are tied with the Pink Bloon as the fastest bloon in the game, but they have enough health to kill you instantly if they get through. They also have the immunities of every type of bloon in the game.[[note]] Basically AllYourPowersCombined for the bloons' side, they have Camo, Lead and Zebra status, meaning they are immune to explosions, immune to ice, immune to sharp things and most towers can't see them. Without upgrades, no towers can deal damage to them. Lucky for you on mobile, they have no lead or zebra properties, they're essentally just fast Camo MOABS. Another thing to note is that if they leak they remove the same amount of lives as a ZOMG.[[/note]]

* {{Nerf}}: An update increased the base price of the ninja monkey's Bloonjitsu upgrade to $3,000 from around $2,750. The nerf is relatively small and the 4/2 ninja is still a ''very'' viable tower even after this.

** The Flash version rewards 5 bloonstones for every [=NLL=] tile (10 if Hardcore was active). The Mobile version only rewards 2 per tile, and doesn't have a Hardcore mode. Ninja Kiwi compensated for this by removing the bloonstone costs for researching third and fourth tier upgrades ''and'' for restarting MvM should you lose.

* ZergRush: Early on, you will find yourself using dart monkeys. '''Lots of them!''' Combined with their upgrade to throw 3 darts at a time, this causes Dart Spam, too. Some monkey teams events may also require you to spam towers.

*** The Mobile version even gives you ''100'' Bloonstones for beating round 100 in a CT Milestones event. A ''super'' high reward considering you earn even fewer Bloonstones in Mobile than on Flash. However, if you (and your device) can keep at it for several hours on end, you truly deserve this reward.

*** On Mobile, the amount is based on the victim's city level and a constant multiplier, capping the raid amount at 6,000 (9,000 during a Warmonger event) if the vvictim is level 40.

** Not all that hard to obtain if you send [[PVP Monkey v. Monkey attacks]] every so often. Quite useful for long treks to the Consecrated Grounds to build the Temple Complex or the Phase Crystals for the Crystal Fusion Array, where you're likley, unless you capture tiles frequently, to face Impoppable after Impoppable for those damn tiles, as well as defeating them and enough other tiles to ''construct'' the fucking things.

** A gold-and-blue timer indicates that a building is under construction.
** A white-and-blue timer indicates that an upgrade is being performed.
*** For tower upgrades, this appears over their respective upgrade buildings to indicate an upgrade being researched. For other buildings, the buildings themselves can be upgraded.
** A '''black-and-red''' timer indicates that a building (generally a tower building) is severely damaged from an [=MvM=] loss and undergoing repair. During this duration, damaged buildings ''hamper your in-game tower count.''

** If you lose and refuse (or can't afford the Bloonstones) to restart, you will lose vast amounts of City Cash. The mechanics for this very between Flash and Mobile:
*** On Flash, the amount is based on the number and tiers of a player's Monkey Banks, ranging from 50% for tier 1 to 20% for tiers 5+. If the attack victim doesn't have enough cash, many of their base buildings can be damaged, rendering them temporarily unusable in future games.
*** On Mobile, the amount is reduced to the player's city level multiplied by 75 (meaning a maximum of 3000 cash, barring the Warmonger event). However, at least 1 building is ''always'' damaged, even if the victim has enough cash.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} with the strategies around sniper supply-drop farming, as the benefits given to most or all towers that may be used in these strategies.

* MoneySink: Tier 3+ in-city farms and tier 5+ banks in the Flash version. Each upgrade from those ranks costs 100,000+ city cash and you likely won't need most of your farms or banks upgraded that high unless you want fast ExperiencePoints. On Mobile, the aforementioned tiers are nonexistent (farms cap at tier 2 as outlined in AwesomeButImpractical, and banks max out at tier 4).

** {{Subverted|Trope}} with the power-generating buildings (windmills and watermills) in the Mobile version; before city level 35, both of these buildings follow a level quota like all other buildings. At city level 35, the limit on both of these is removed, allowing your city's power to be limited only by the number of tiles you can capture!

* BreatherLevel: Sometimes Contested Territory generates waves of bloons in the rounds 30+ that are short and easy to beat by the time you can reach them, if you are even capable of reaching such rounds yet!

** There is a quota for each type of building (towers, upgrades, resource, etc.) that increases the higher you are in level.

** ''[[EasierThanEasy Trivial]]''. This difficulty is ''so'' easy that you're given the option to ''skip it completely''. You don't earn {{experience|points}} or bloonstones by doing so, however.
** ''Easy''. This kind of tile shouldn't pose a challenge for most players (unless on a very difficulty map, if that). Useful if you're participating in Monkey Teams challenges for additional rewards.
** ''Medium''. Easily defeated by more experienced players, though less experienced players may have trouble here.
** ''Hard''. Experienced players face somewhat of a challenge on this difficulty, while less experienced players will have to be {{Determinator}}s to beat it.

** ''[[HarderThanHard Im]][[JustForPun pop]][[HarderThanHard pable]]''. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Good. Luck.]]''' Tiles with this rating can be abolutely ''brutal'' in difficulty, or even impossible outright if you've started a city recently enough that you can't beat any stronger bloon types yet.
* LightningBruiser: D.D.T.s. Oh, ''dear God'', D.D.T.s! They are tied with the Pink Bloon as the fastest bloon in the game, but they have enough health to kill you instantly if they get through. They also have the immunities of every type of bloon in the game.[[note]] Basically AllYourPowersCombined for the bloons' side, they have Camo, Lead and Zebra status, meaning they are immune to explosions, immune to ice, immune to sharp things and most towers can't see them. Without upgrades, no towers can deal damage to them. Lucky for you on mobile, they have no lead or zebra properties, they're essentally just fast Camo MOABS. Another thing to note is that if they leak they remove the same amount of lives as a ZOMG.[[/note]]

** When you receive an attack, you have 24 hours to defend your city against it. Letting this time expire is treated is losing when attempting to defend.

* SteelMill: Obviously subverted by the Thermite Plant Special Building that activates the Ring of Fire upgrade. It looks like one, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment but makes thermite]].

* ZergRush: Early on, you will find yourself using dart monkeys. '''Lots of em!''' Some monkey teams events may also require you to spam towers.

* AwesomeButImpractical: PvP buildings. They enable you to blow the tar out of enemy players, but they are expensive, and some attacks require [[{{Unobtainium}} Bloonstones]] to activate!

** For regrow farming, regrow removal can harm the wizard's ability to multiply regen bloons and bombs and ice can hit their {{WeaksauceWeakness}}.

** ''Easy''. This kind of tile shouldn't pose a challenge for most players (unless on [[ThatOneLevel a very difficulty map]], if that). Useful if you're participating in Monkey Teams challenges for additional rewards.

** ''[[HarderThanHard Im]]''''[[JustForPun pop]]''''[[HarderThanHard pable]]''. '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Good. Luck.]]''' Tiles with this rating can be abolutely ''brutal'' in difficulty, or even impossible outright if you've started a city recently enough that you can't beat any stronger bloon types yet.
* LightningBruiser: D.D.T.s. Oh, ''dear God'', D.D.T.s! They are tied with the Pink Bloon as the fastest bloon in the game, but they have enough health to kill you instantly if they get through. They also have the immunities of every type of bloon in the game.[[note]] They have Camo, Lead and Zebra status, meaning they are immune to explosions, immune to ice, immune to sharp things and most towers can't see them.

Another thing to note is that if they leak they remove the same amount of lives as a ZOMG.[[/note]]

* NoDamageRun: Wanna get Bloonstones without paying real money? Then you gotta beat the level ''without losing any health''. This is easy on some levels, but when you're fighting off several D.D.T.s at once, this can be nearly impossible.

*** Not so for the Mobile version; these upgrades only cost city cash.

* AlternateWorldMap: Bloon Dunes, featuring more deserts, new missions, and Monkey Engineers!

* HardModePerks: Hardcore mode increases bloon speed and rush size, makes upgrades 8% more expensive (similar to ''Bloons Tower Defense 5'''s Hard), and decreases cash from bloons by 10%. However, if you win, you will gain twice the normal rewards in every category except experience. This includes City Cash and bloonstones (if [[NoDamageRun NLL) on normal tiles, and double Bloontonium and City Honor in [[PlayerVersusPlayer Monkey v. Monkey]].
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: In order from easiest to hardest, we have [[EasierThanEasy Trivial]], Easy, Normal, Hard, [[HarderThanHard Very Hard, and Im]][[JustForPun pop]][[HarderThanHard pable]].
