Bio-Boomer Facts:

 * in Bloons Monkey City the bomb tower is called a bomb shooter


 * in BTD ios Ground Zero can't destroy MOABs while in BTD5 it can destroy anything less than a ZOMG. (Bloons Reaper 11:25, January 17, 2014 (UTC) this fact is obsolete because the description clearly states: Ability: drops a devastating bomb that destroys all bloons and "damages M.O.A.B class bloons.")

--67.82.33.165 18:58, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * in BTD Deluxe In the wizard lord mission you don't lose if i has no towers to feed on the first round (Bloons Reaper 11:25, January 17, 2014 (UTC) this fact is obsolete because the wizard lord only sacrifices a strong tower every second round.)

Bloons Reaper facts:

 * a boomerang monkey(3/2) can throw two boomerangs instead of one when in radius of a monkey village that has the monkey fort upgrade, however it is hard to notice because the second boomerang/glaive will be thrown with the first one in the exact position as the first.


 * sentry guns deployed by monkey engineers cannot be sold in the "short lived" special mission.


 * if you sell a monkey engineer, the sentries deployed by it will disappear as well, this applys for the "short lived" mission when the monkey engineer disappears on the 10th round.


 * if too many bloons are popped by other towers when frozen by an ice tower(2/3) it will cause a bit of lag but it will devastate moab class bloons( ie, with 5 shards per frozen bloon and 10 frozen bloons popped by other towers will result in 50 shards( 5+10=RBE of 50 bloons popped by frozen shards of ice).


 * in BTD5 ios, the razor rotors would not pop lead or frozen bloons, this was later fixed in version 1.1+


 * the monkey buccaneer(2/4) can harpoon and destroy B.F.B's as well as M.O.A.B's.


 * the monkey ace(4/2) can use the fast firing forward gunners along with the barrage of mini nukes and darts for extra damage against the bloons( provide you have the tier 3 or 4 ace private hangar along with getting in range of the target bloon.)


 * in BTD5 ios, the engineer's workshop does not increase the cost of any towers(and their upgrades) by 5% (updated 01:40, December 13, 2013 (UTC) this has been fixed in version 2.2
 * one single dart monkey(4/2) can pop a ceramic bloon in two hits.
 * Upgrading a bloon buster with the big one also increases the Blast radius of the mortar tower making it ideal for catching more bloons in the explosion.
 * a monkey buccaneer has the highest ability cooldown( Fully upgraded ability cooldown(monkey lab) + energy beacon upgrade(monkey town) + bloontonium reactor*(monkey sub)= 55%reduction!
 * A ballistic missile from a monkey sub can pop a ceramic bloon in two hit's. more effective than a dart monkey(4/2) because of the splash damage.
 * A monkey sub with the Bloontonium upgrade can be used effectively if utilized with a glue gunner and an ice tower with arctic wind(this fact is optional)

BloonPopper97 (talk) 16:59, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

I have a glitch for the BTD community.

If you use the Super Monkey Fan Club ability by 2:2 Dart Monkeys. If you upgrade it to 4:2, it glitches out causing Super Monkey Juggernaut Club.

The robo-monkey can pop lead bloons,even without the plasma vision?99.253.213.240 13:46, April 14, 2013 (UTC) (Bloons Reaper) that is because it may still fire darts but the robo monkey is equipped with twin pulse cannons that can pop anything.

the technological terror's laser and plasma vision does nothing to the tower 38.116.192.95 18:39, April 15, 2013 (UTC) (Bloons Reaper) laser and plasma vision do have an effect on the technological terror, not in a visual way but it increases the piercing power of the tower by 1 for each upgrade on the first upgrade path.

''It actually does: from memory, pierce is increased to 6 if upgraded to Laser Vision, 7 if upgraded to Plasma Vision, and 5 if it's just a 0/4. No obviously visible effects, but it does do something.''

Specialty Buildings can stack with Monkey Village, reducing by 15% the cost.

And you can use banana farm in Deflation Mode by clicking at the edge of the button, and it also generate money. --151.77.157.242 13:01, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

WikiaManager112 (talk) 09:53, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

...that Bomb Towers can pop black bloons when set in to "Strong"? (Bloons Reaper: this is not entirely accurate as it is only possible to to so with these three options below

1: you have a M.I.B upgrade for the monkey village.

2: you have the tier 3+ bombing range that allows the specific tower to pop black and zebra bloons.

3: you individually have the bloon impact upgrade for the tower by itself (this option might not be confirmed, yet, cannot be too sure...)
