Monkey Lane
Difficulty: Beginner

A long and grassy track. This track has tunnels that bloons can go through. Towers cannot attack bloons in the tunnels. There is no water on this track. Also, in this track, you can sacrifice lives to get money. Of course, you can use road spikes to pop bloons that get through your defenses, but it's not worth it.

Park Path
Difficulty: Beginner

A long and curvy track. There is water in the form of a stream in this track. Tack Shooters are good where the track has U-Turns.

Bloon Circles
Difficulty: Intermediate

A track in a wheat field that look like crop circles. The track splits in two and bloons go in a loop in some parts. No water in this track.

Snake River
Difficulty: Intermediate

A track in which bloons cross through two rivers which converge into one. There is a bit of water at the edge of the river.

Bloontonium Lab
Difficulty: Extreme

A track shaped like a radioactive symbol. Bloons come out at three separate places and exit at three separate places. The tracks are not connected. These tracks are extremely short, making this track very difficult. You need 50 Monkey Money to pass once, you can't save, you can't pass to Deflation, Apopalypse and Sandbox and the rewards are:


 * Easy: 100 Awesome Points and 250.000 XP
 * Medium: 250 Awesome Points and 500.000 XP
 * Hard: 500 Awesome Points and 1.000.000 XP

(Unlocked at Rank 60)

The Rink
Difficulty: Beginner

This track is based on an icy rink. The shape of the track is similar to a Mac's command key. There is water in this track as a hole in the ice. Penguins can be seen sliding across the track. This is the easiest track, since bloons come near the middle 4 times. It's best to put a good tower in the middle, such as a super monkey. You died, bloons TD 4.

Archipelago
Difficulty: Intermediate

A track that is a group of islands. This track is mostly water with a few islands and a shipwreck in the top corner.

Good track for Monkey Buccaneers and Tribal Turtles

A pipe like track that branches in two. In the center there is a switch that rotates every few rounds, opening and closing paths. No water.

Clock
Difficulty: Expert

A track on a clock. Depending on where the clock hands point, that is where the bloons go. The clock looks like Big Ben. No water on this track. (Unlocked at Rank 28)

Castle
Difficulty: Expert

A track that is on the top of a castle. The bloons come out of two different paths, and meet at the end. The water here is in the form of a moat. (Unlocked at Rank 34)
