History VideoGame / BloonsSuperMonkey

* PowerUp: Occasionally, in the original, these will appear. In the sequel, certain bloons will drop these along with blops when popped.

** The sequel's {{Power Up}}s are: [[MacrossMissileMassacre MOAB Mauler Airship]], {{Spike Ball|s Of Doom}} [[MoreDakka MiniGun]], [[BlackMage Wizard Lord]], [[KillerRobot Technological Terror]], [[GratuitousNinja Ninja Saboteur]], and [[SuperMode Sun God]]. The first five have a weakness to certain bloon types, while the last can pop ''any'' bloon with ease.

** Magic is useless against Ceramic Bloons thanks to most of the spells being fire- or lightning- based, while ceramic is very heat resistant and a terrible conductor of electricity (at least the sort that most pottery or floor tilings are made of) [[note]]in fact, the research that allows Magic to even harm ceramics is called Earth Magic[[/note]].

** The sequel's {{Power Up}}s are: [[SuperMode Sun God]], [[StarFighter Spaceship]], [[MacrossMissileMassacre Missile Carrier]], [[BlackMage Wizard Lord]], [[GratuitousNinja Ninja Team]], and [[MoreDakka Spike Cannon]].

* KryptoniteFactor: Super Monkey is immune to the Bloons, but the Bloons in the Mobile version can produce "Bloptonite", green blops that if collected, will gradually slow down the affected Super Monkey to a crawl unless they switch out.

* KryptoniteFactor: Super Monkey is immune to the Bloons, but the Bloons in the Mobile version have "Bloptonite", green blops that if collected, will gradually slow down the affected Super Monkey to a crawl unless they switch out.

* VideogameFlamethrowersSuck: Averted with the "Elemental Strike", which behaves much like the Dragon's Breath upgrade from Bloons Tower Defense 5, & averted even further with the "Elemental Arc", which is twice as big & twice as lethal.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: Two hidden achievements in the mobile version. Big Spender requires you to buy a whole tree of upgrades all at once (which you can’t do if you already bought the first upgrade of every tree), and Precision requires you to get the exact number of pops required to get a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal (but if you’ve already gotten the medal for a certain level, you can’t go for the achievement on that level). [[GuideDangIt The game won’t tell you about these achievements,]] and [[ThatOneAchievement Precision is nearly impossible to get later in the game except by getting extremely lucky.]]

* PersonofMassDestruction: While the Super Monkey was always portrayed as such in the TowerDefense games, these games portrayed him as the Creator/NinjaKiwi verson of Chuck Norris.

* DifficultySpike: The Deep Bloon Sea in the sequel. While Bloon Dunes did introduce all the bloon types, it's not until the Deep Bloon Sea where you'll face several immunity bloon types (Lead, Black, Ceramic, Glass) during the levels, as well as several shielded Bloon formations. Furthermore, several bloon formations in the world are extremely thick.

* DifficultySpike: The Deep Bloon Sea in the sequel. While the desert level did introduce all the bloon types, it's not until the Deep Bloon Sea where you'll face several immunity bloon types (Lead, Black, Ceramic, Glass) during the levels, as well as several shielded Bloon formations. Furthermore, several bloon formations in the world are extremely thick.

A mobile game has been announced, and is the first Ninja Kiwi game to feature 3D models instead of sprites.

* AdvancingBossOfDoom: All the bosses in the sequel. If they get through, you lose the stage!

* HumongousMecha: The final boss of the sequel? A GIANT ROBOTIC BLOON!

** The sequel gives us a Tech branch on the TechTree, devoted to this.

* GatlingGood: In the sequel, the arm dart upgrades go to miniguns, and a PowerUp gives you one of the most BadAss weapons ever: a [[{{BFG}} gigantic]] Gatling gun firing THREE pulses of SpikeBallsOfDoom EVERY FRAME and wrecking everything in its way.

* GiantSquid: One of the bosses in he sequel looks like [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu's face]] stretched over a blimp, and has a Bloon formation resembling a squid with tentacles. It is ''[[ThatOneBoss not]]'' gonna go down without a fight if the player doesn't put extensive effort in upgrading weapons and research.

* FireBalls: The magic branch in the sequel gives us this for the arms. The later upgrades one-up this by turning your arms into waves of [[KillItWithFire ACTUAL FLAMES]]!

* EldritchAbomination: One of the bosses in he sequel looks like [[CthulhuMythos Cthulhu's face]] stretched over a blimp. It is ''[[ThatOneBoss not]]'' gonna go down without a fight.

* NoSell: In the sequel, Black Bloons knock explosives away, Lead Bloons bounce darts, spike balls, boomerangs, glaives, shuriken, [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks sai, and katana]], Ceramic Bloons resist magic attacks, and [[UpToEleven Glass Bloons]] reflect [[FrickinLaserBeams laser beams, laser pulses]], [[PlasmaCannon plasma blasts]], and [[WaveMotionGun doom bursts]]. However, these can be countered by research.

* ScissorsCutsRock: Normally, certain weapons are [[NoSell completely ineffective]] against a specific type of Bloon. However, Research allows every X shot of said weapon category to affect their corresponding Bloon weakness, where X decreases as research levels increase.

** Magic is useless against Ceramic Bloons thanks to most of the spells being fire- or lightning- based, while ceramic is very heat resistant and a terrible conductor of electricity[[note]]in fact, the research that allows Magic to even harm ceramics is called Earth Magic[[/note]].

* LogicalWeakness:

* LogicalWeakness: Darts and Boomerangs are ineffective against Lead Bloons because Lead Bloons are, well, metal. Magic is useless against Ceramic Bloons thanks to most of the spells being fire- or lightning- based, while ceramic is very heat resistant and a terrible conductor of electricity. Meanwhile, Glass Bloons are immune to the light-based tech attacks thanks to being transparent and reflective.
