Golden Bloon Time

Golden Bloon Time is a minigame appearing at the end of any Bloons Pop! level whenever the player has extra moves left. It is composed of five Golden Bloons and two Bloontonium Bloons in a sea of Blue Bloons. The player's task is to pop as many objects on the board as possible with their remaining shots. The player is not penalized for failing to pop every object.

Before Golden Bloon Time starts, the player is given five seconds to either start the minigame immediately or watch an advertisement to gain three extra shots. Unlike in main gameplay, the Monkeys attack quickly and automatically, giving only a very small window for the player to aim their shots. Monkeys cannot be merged in Golden Bloon Time, and neither can any extra heroes be obtained.

Each Golden Bloon gives one Monkey Money, and each Bloontonium Bloon popped awards 3 Bloontonium. There are two tiers of extra bonuses for performance in Golden Bloon time. Clearing at least 75% of the screen doubles the amount of extra Bloontonium and Monkey Money earned from the minigame itself, and clearing every object on the screen also rewards another 6 Bloontonium and 5 on top of that. The rewards from Golden Bloon Time are added onto the default level clear reward of 10 and 50 Bloontonium. The maximum that can be obtained from a Golden Bloon Time bonus stage is 25 and 68 Bloontonium, or 38 and 102 Bloontonium if the player watches an advertisement after completing the level.

Strategy
Golden Bloon Time requires a combination of quick reflexes, on-the-spot strategizing, and pre-planning to reap the maximum rewards.

Useful Monkeys that can clear large portions of the bonus stage:


 * Mega Acid Gunner (aim completely left or right)
 * Mega Dart Monkey (aim completely left or right)
 * Mega Boomerang Monkey (aim completely left or right)
 * Mega Wizard Monkey
 * Captain Churchill (aim slightly down so he doesn't time out)
 * Gwendolin

Monkeys that can clean up leftovers:


 * Wizard Monkey
 * Mortar Monkey
 * Ninja Monkey
 * Sniper Monkey

Tips

 * One solo Captain Churchill is capable of wiping out 100% of the screen if aimed properly. Be careful with him, however, as throwing the monkeys after him may deny Churchill bloons to run over before he times out early.
 * One Gwendolin and one Mega Wizard Monkey can solo the whole Golden Bloon Time, provided they are both thrown at least adequately.
 * One Mega Wizard Monkey can completely solo Golden Bloon Time if tossed in the air slightly above the usual aim threshold.

Trivia

 * During Golden Bloon Time, the player can fire shots upwards. Do note that firing straight upwards can cause shots to time out before coming back down.
