Supermonkey

"A hero in the monkey world and boy does he know it! Supermonkey's blistering speed allows him to crush Bloons on a level that no other monkey can come close to."

- BATTD description

"Throws darts at super speed."

- Short description

Supermonkey is a monkey hero in Bloons Adventure Time TD that the player can unlock for beating the adventure "Wake Up Call" in Lemongrab on any difficulty (formerly only Extreme Difficulty). Supermonkey functions similarly to how he does in previous Bloons TD games, but can be only placed once at a time in this game as he is a Hero character. He costs $3000 to place, and uses Dart weapons. Unlike in Bloons TD 6, his Disarming Charisma upgrade can pop Purple Bloons, but Laser Eyes and above can't unless he equips the Dagger of Chilled Glass. Due to Supermonkey's sheer power, he can solo many rounds if given the right trinkets so he can destroy all types of Bloons.

Description
Supermonkey's appearance is nearly identical to his Bloons Supermonkey 2 Mobile counterpart.(Put Supermonkey's appearance description here)

Star Boost
Supermonkey will receive the following permanent boosts as he levels up:


 * 2 stars - Base attack pierce increased by 1

 * 6 stars - Base attack speed increased by 0.01
 * 8 stars - Base attack pierce increased by 2
 * 9 stars - Base range increased by 4

Strategy
Supermonkey is one of, if not the best, DPS tower in the game, especially on Impoppable and Extreme difficulty. Giving him camo detection is extremely important for him. So make sure you have camo trinkets on him and you shouldn't have a problem with DDTs. If you want fully optimize his Heroic Aura upgrade, place towers inside of his range so he can discount them. Speed and damage are the best stats to buff for him, since he already has a plenty of range and pierce with his upgrades.

Trivia

 * The Sun God upgrade itself does not further specify what the Sun God really does besides sacrificing 4 Super Fans, transforming into Sun God, and calling it "all-powerful". This may be applied to get the player excited about using it and not spoiling its information and power.
 * With Supermonkey's Hypersonic Speed, no character can attack faster than once every 0,033(3...) seconds, so it's real crazy, he is basically 1 Heart Gauntlets trinket away from attacking once in 0,034 seconds, after that speed upgrades are useless, or better yet, Jake with Golden Viola/Tuxedo Jake's Speed up upgrade + random 5% in total speed upgrade such as Treetrunks' Apple Knife or Instrument characters with Lute Suits in range and you got boosts to all characters (Except Sam's and PB's abilities) and maxed Supermonkey speed.
 * Despite Sun Avatar's description saying its attack is "a wide stream of hot fiery doom", it still shoots a single solid stream of yellow plasma that deals Plasma damage, not Fire . It can be further explained that it does not really set bloons on fire, as otherwise implied in the description.
 * Supermonkey is part of a hidden, special upgrade for Captain Cassie. If Supermonkey is upgraded to the Sun Avatar and is in range of Cassie while she has the Bloon Pillage upgrade, a hidden upgrade will appear on her upgrade screen called Treasure Hunter. Purchasing this upgrade gives the player extra cash at the end of each round, and also unlocks a hidden achievement.
 * In Martian Games events with the Send in the Clones rule, activating the Sun God ability once will instantly transform all Supermonkeys with that ability upgrade into Sun Gods, requiring only four Super Fans on the map in the process, provided that the player already has a COBRA with the Monkey Stim upgrade. Link
 * Supermonkey's Sun God transformation sound is the same as the upgrade/relogging-in sound for Sun Avatar in BTD6.
 * Laser Whip, which was most likely a reference to BSM1 and 2, was an upgrade that has replaced by Disarming Charisma.
 * This and Soulbind are the only upgrades which have been replaced by another upgrade.
