Fast Upgrades/Strategies

Strategy 1 (No Lives Lost)
Round 1) Buy a 0/0 Sniper. 8-9 Bloons will leak if Road Spikes are not used, so place them at the end. Start the round.

Round 2) Buy a partner for your now-upgraded Sniper monkey. Upgrade your new Sniper to 1/0. Now you should have two Sniper Monkeys with red hats. Start the round.

Round 3) After you finish Round 2, upgrade both Snipers with Faster Shooting. For clarity, you should have two purple-hat Snipers with the upgrades of 2/1. Start the round. Halfway through the round, you may purchase a Monkey Buccaneer, and upgrade it 0/2 (that's all that you will have enough for anyways.) (Note: make sure you put the Monkey Buccaneer far away from the entrace, like in the pool of water to the left of the exit. You will not want your Buccaneer interfering with the Bloons next round.)

Round 4) By this point, you should have two Snipers with Deadly Precision on Path 1, and Faster Shooting on Path 2. You should also have a Monkey Buccaneer upgraded to 0/3. Start the round. During the round, you must purchase two more Monkey Buccaneers and place them far away from the entrance. (Again, make sure the Buccaneers do NOT interfere with the Ceramic Bloons). Upgrade these two Buccaneers to 0/3, just like their counterpart from Round 3. You should have plenty of cash to purchase this, but if the Bloons are going too fast, turn off Fast Forward (if it's on) to give you more time to place the Buccaneers.

Round 5) This is the easist round of all! Simply sell the Cripple MOAB Snipers if you wish, and use the Monkey Pirates' abilities three times. Make the precaution of allowing the three BFB's on the screen before using the abilities, as you do not want to waste the ability. Congratulations, you have completed Fast Upgrades!

Strategy 2
This strategy requires rank 45 (which most people should have gotten already).

Start with a Sniper Monkey (position does not matter). It will leak around 9 reds in the first round. Don't worry, if you want to, you can place Road Spikes. Place another Sniper next to it at the end of the round. Upgrade it once on the first path. Upgrade one of the snipers to the second path as well AFTER the first path upgrade if necessary.

Next, place a Spike Factory near the end. Upgrade it as much as possible (try at least twice) on the FIRST PATH. At the end of the round, or when you have enough cash and all the above upgrades done, place another Spike Factory near the original one. Timing is important. Again, upgrade it as much as possible on the first path.

By the end of round 4, you should have more than enough cash to upgrade your snipers to faster shooting (2nd path) and your Spike Factories on the second path. Just press play and watch!
