Trivia

 * In BTD4 and BTD4 expansion, the boomerangs, glaives, or light sabers disappear about 2/3 of the way back if the game is on Fast Forward. This is because, oddly enough, the boomerangs themselves do not move faster on Fast Forward.
 * This does not happen on the iPhone/iPod touch version.
 * The Boomerang Thrower is the only tower with a purple outline in BTD4.
 * There is a feature in Bloons Super Monkey where, after you purchase a boomerang, when Super Monkey is throwing a boomerang, it will continue behind him after it reaches the point where it would normally be caught. It is unknown if this is a bug or not.
 * Testing shows that contrary to what the description says, the Bionic Boomer will throw boomerangs 3.6x faster and glaives 4.5x faster. The Turbo Charge Ability causes the Bionic Boomer to attack a further four times faster.
 * The Glaive Riccochet has infinite pierce, therefore, if placed at the end of a track, it will pop a layer of each bloon that is near it.
 * It is one of the towers that doesn't have an upgrade that increases range.
 * With three Glaive Lords and one Glue Hose, it'll beat the M.O.A.B. Madness challenge.
 * In BTD5, when there are multiple pages of something (such as the tracks), the arrows look like boomerangs.
 * In BTD5 when the Boomerang Thrower has not thrown any Boomerangs or Glaives yet or after upgrade, the Boomerang Thrower take it on his right hand.
 * Bionic Boomers always take a Glaive or Boomerang on his hand even he has thrown a Boomerang or Glaive.
 * It's good to place a Boomerang Thrower somewhere good to place a Dart Monkey
 * In BTD5 Deluxe, the arm for the Turbo Charge Ability is white, whilst in BTD5 it is the black/grey.
