I just came up with another one!

Special Mission: Monkey Archmage
An insanely powerful Monkey Archmage has arrived at the Floating Islands. He can learn to master all four base elements of magic, but he wants to be alone, so you aren't allowed to place any more towers! Can you beat this track on Hard Difficulty, with nothing except for the Monkey Archmage?

Description of the Monkey Archmage
The Monkey Archmage is basically just a 0-0 Monkey Apprentice with a TIII Mage Spire active without any upgrades. He has a Level I Shield, and has 50 HP. He has FOUR upgrade paths, and each one has five upgrades.

Path I
1-4: Same as Monkey Apprentice

5: Stormcaller: Stormcaller Ability: Creates a massive thunderstorm that acts like the Pop and Awe ability for the Mortar Tower, but pops off five layers every second instead of one! Cost: $11900

Path II
1-4: Same as Monkey Apprentice

5: Super Phoenix: The intense magical energy makes the Phoenix into a super powerful Super Phoenix that does extra damage to M.O.A.B.-Class Bloons! Cost: $11900

Path III

 * 1) Protection of the Earth: Harnesses the power of the Earth to change the Monkey Archmage's Level I Shield to a Level II Shield, that can block anything! Cost: $510
 * 2) Magma Bomb: Fires a ball of magma that has a massive blast radius and burns bloons for five seconds! Cost: $850 (blast = M.O.A.B. Mauler)
 * 3) More Magma: The magma bombs have a much bigger blast radius, and  burn for ten seconds! Cost: $1700 (blast = 4-2 Mortar Tower)
 * 4) Ash Cloud: Creates a cloud of dust and ash around itself, stunning nearby bloons for twenty seconds! Cost: $5100
 * 5) Wrath of the Earth: Wrath of the Earth Ability: Just like the Secret of the Thousand Sakuras, but without the razor-sharp cherry blossoms! Cost: $17000

Path IV

 * 1) Deep Freeze: Creates a super-cold aura around itself that freezes all bloons that pass through it! Cost: $350
 * 2) Water of Life: A sip of this water makes the Monkey Archmage regenerate health over time! Cost: $770
 * 3) Splash of Popping: Splatters out a special blast of water that acts like Bloon Dissolver on a bloon affected with Sabotage Supply Lines! Cost: $6800
 * 4) Comet Storm: Comet Storm Ability: Creates a comet that crashes into the center of the screen, blasting popping-water across the entire screen and doing massive damage to M.O.A.B.-Class Bloons! Cost: $11900 (does 500 Damage to M.O.A.B.-Class Bloons)
 * 5) Comet Shower: Instead of one comet, brings down three! Cost: $25000
