Super Monkey (BTD6)

"Throws hundreds of darts at hypersonic speeds with a huge attack range."

- In-game Description

The Super Monkey is a Magic-class tower that was included in the initial release of Bloons TD 6. The tower retains its name and role from the Bloons TD 4, 5, and Classic game generations, with major additions. The Super Monkey did not receive any teasers prior to release, but was first shown when the game was made available to select YouTubers several days before BTD6's official release date.

The Super Monkey is the fastest attacking base tower in the game, throwing at approximately 16.67 darts per second (equivalent to 0.06s cooldown per shot) each with 1 Pierce and 1 Damage at Bloons up to 50 range away. The Super Monkey also has the second largest Footprint of any tower in the game at 11, making it difficult or impossible to fit on small platforms and map regions.

It is also the most expensive base tower in the game costing $2,125 on Easy, $2,500 on Medium, $2,700 on Hard, and $3,000 on Impoppable.

Description
The Super Monkey in Bloons TD 6 has a similar appearance to the Super Monkey in Bloons Super Monkey 2 Mobile. The "B" logo on its chest has been replaced with a dart symbol instead. It is one of the few towers where its upgrade paths from BTD5 carried over untouched to BTD6. In fact, not much has changed about the Super Monkey; it's still a high popping power tower with a high price.

Each path of the Super Monkey has the tower follow a different evolution from third-tier upgrades beyond.

The first path is a spiritual one, turning the Super Monkey into an Avatar of the Sun God.

The second path transforms the Super Monkey through experimental cybernetics and weaponry.

The new third path makes the Super Monkey a traditional anti-hero inspired by the Dark Knight iteration of Batman, contrasting with the original Super Monkey's Superman.

Trivia

 * The True Sun God (The tier after Temple of the Monkey God) in BTD6 can pop 50 Big Airship of Doom (BAD) or even more if the sacrifice is done correctly. This is been tested by a YouTuber called Aliensrock in his video named (Bloons Tower Defense 6 - 5th Tier Temple - The True Sun God). At the end of the video, he tried the Perfect True Sun God in Sandbox mode which resulted in a lot of devastation.
 * All paths for the tower have at least two upgrades that increase its range.
 * Only the middle path has three upgrades that increase range.
 * The There Can Be Only One Monkey Knowledge allows The True Sun God to become an Vengeful True Sun God if an Anti-Bloon and Legend of the Knight (the other 5th tiers for Super Monkey) are outside of the range of the sacrifice when the Temple is upgraded. This increases the damage of the tower and sub towers of it (i.e. Spectres). However, this prevents players from using the Anti-Bloon or Legend of the Knight, as their upgrade paths will be locked.
 * Super Monkey is the only tower to have abilities in both mid and bottom paths.
 * Super Monkey in the only non-hero monkey in BTD6 to have sounds when upgrading to Tier 3 and above.
