Lives

In almost every game there are lives which usually means a second chance or more chances. In the Bloons TD series, lives are lost by letting Bloons escape. The Red Bloon Equivalent (RBE) of a bloon is the number of lives it will leak if untouched.

In Bloons TD 1, you have 40 lives. In Bloons TD 2 and Bloons TD 3, you have 50 to 100 lives. Lives in Bloons TD 4 can range from 1 to 100,000 lives, while Bloons TD 5 provides from 1 life up to 600 lives.
