Trivia

 * This is the first Bloons TD game in which you have to unlock the upgrades for each tower.
 * You have to reach a certain rank to unlock the expert and extreme tracks.
 * Since the new tribal turtle agent was added, the music has gotten faster-paced and new pictures appear for upgraded towers.
 * The sounds heard for upgrading towers and popping bloons are sounds from Bloons 2.
 * Unlike BTD4 or BTD4 Expansion, you need to collect the bananas from the banana farms.
 * Bloons TD5 has 400 levels in all. In Hard mode this means there are 85 levels and 315 freeplay levels.
 * A green floppy disk symbol ([[File:Disk-green.png]]) in the upper-right corner means that your internet connection is fine, while a red one ([[File:Disk-red.png]]) means that your game has not synchronized with the Ninja Kiwi server, and you can lose all your future progress, until it changes back to green again.
 * The difficulty of each track, is how challenging the track is to beat, but the three difficulties for each track (Easy, Medium, and Hard) only change the price of everything, how many rounds you have to pass, how many lives you have, and how fast the bloons move.
 * This game has the 3º online animation style in Bloons series, the first is the animation used in Bloons and in the first 5 BTD games, and the second is the animation used in Bloons 2 and Bloons Blast.
