Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Mad Snowman makes a cameo appearance on the Christmas-themed main menu.
- A certain rank is required to unlock expert and extreme tracks.
- Pressing a certain key (a hotkey) allows you to place a tower without moving your mouse to select it.
- Since the new Tribal Turtle Special Agent was added, the music has gotten faster-paced and new pictures appear for each specific upgrade.
- The sounds heard for upgrading towers and popping bloons are sounds from Bloons 2.

A design of a BMC Mortar Monkey writing on a pad as appearing in BTD5
- There appears to be a BMC design of the Mortar Monkey writing on a pad when there is a window that mentions "earn free Monkey Money".
- Unlike the Bloons TD 4 series, the player needs to collect the bananas from the Banana Farms.
- A green floppy disk symbol (
) in the upper-right corner means that your internet connection is fine, while a red/orange one (
) 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. You won't earn Monkey Money, Awesome Points or medals when the game is not synchronized.
- The Track Difficulty means how challenging the track is to beat, while the three difficulty modes for each track (Easy, Medium, and Hard) only change the price of everything, how many rounds the player has to pass, how many lives the player has, and how fast the bloons move.
- This game has the 3rd 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.
- This is the first Bloons TD game that you can build towers on a section of the bloons path.
- The Extreme Difficulty has no save feature, Sandbox, Apopalypse, Deflation, or Fast-Track mode and costs some Monkey Money to try.
- The former round limit was 500, however that limit was removed after people started reaching that far.
- However, the Deluxe version still has it.
- A new BTD5 was added to the Mac App Store, which includes every tower including the ones in the mobile version.
- This game had rivaled Plants vs. Zombies 2, a game made by PopCap, since both games gained insane popularity.
- Most of the towers' upgrades prices are same the previous games.
- The overall popping power of Ground Zero is much less in BTD5 Steam compared to the flash version.
- Bloons Tower Defense 5 was officially released on the Xbox One Marketplace and PlayStation 4 Store on March 3rd and March 9th, 2017 respectively. This is the first time Bloons TD 5 has made its appearance on a console.
