- For the Bloons Adventure Time TD difficulty, see Extreme Difficulty (BATTD).
Extreme Difficulty is a Track Difficulty first added to Bloons TD 4 Mobile. It was added to Bloons TD 4 Mobile with Update 2.2 on Sep 2, 2011. At the time, only four extreme maps were released, Jolly Roger would be introduced in 2.8, on Jan 20, 2012. Extreme Maps can only be accessed on Bloons TD 4 Mobile by purchasing the Extreme Map Pack for $1.99. Bloons TD 5 would receive its first extreme maps on April 4, 2012. However, instead of an arbitrary difficulty, Extreme Mode in BTD5 requires payment to play.
In order to play on any difficulty in BTD5, Monkey Money must be paid. When the player completes the Track, they will receive a large amount of Awesome Points and a massive XP reward instead of Monkey Money (unless you are playing on Deluxe). Interim saves are disabled for Extreme Difficulty tracks.
The icons for the three difficulties are the Sniper Monkey with Point Five Oh upgrade, the Ray of Doom and the Sun God/Temple of The Monkey God head, respectively.
In BTD4 Mobile, Extreme Difficulty tracks are simply marked as extremely difficult tracks that are accessed through a separate button on the map selection screen, and fortunately do not cost any in-game currency to enter, although they must be unlocked with real money. It is also possible to save progress in Extreme Difficulty tracks on BTD4 Mobile.
In BTD6, Extreme Difficulty does not exist, although many of the Expert Difficulty Maps are considered "Extreme" to some extent, and are in many cases actually more difficult than some of BTD5's Extreme tracks.

Note: Monkey Money rewards are exclusive to Deluxe, while Awesome Points awards are for the online version only. Also note that Impoppable Difficulty and Tokens are only available at BTD5 Mobile and BTD5 Steam. There's also a very unfair division of rewards, as the awards shown there are only for computer (Flash and Deluxe) version, while mobile version has lower rewards (50 000/100 000/150 000/200 000 XP) for difficulties: Easy/Normal/Hard/Impoppable.
Differences between BTD5 Flash and BTD5 Mobile[]
- Two extreme tracks are added, Toxic Waste and Campfire, both requiring 50 Monkey Money to play.
Trivia[]
- Because Bloons Tower Defense 5 Mobile uses an autosave system, saving can be done on Extreme Difficulty tracks.
- This is the only difficulty that doesn't give Monkey Money rewards and actually costs Monkey Money to play.
- You cannot enable Fast-Track Mode on Extreme Tracks, possibly because it would make the achievements easier.
- In Bloons TD 5 Mobile, while selecting the difficulty for an Extreme track, the usual Baby Monkey, Mortar Tower, Robo-Monkey, and Green Sun God icons are used rather than the Point Five Oh, Ray of Doom, and Sun God icons.
- In Bloons TD 5 iOS, the player could access Sandbox Mode. However, the player still had to pay the 50 fee to access an Extreme Difficulty track.
- As of version 1.1, the player cannot play Sandbox Mode on Extreme Tracks, so it possibly was a glitch.
- These Tracks have to be unlocked at a certain Rank before playing (50 for Main Street, 55 for Bloontonium Lab, and 60 for Tar Pits). This is not true for the Mobile Version however, since Toxic Waste, Tar Pits, and Main Street requires Rank 50, but Bloontonium Lab requires Rank 60.
- On Bloons TD 5 Deluxe, Monkey Money is rewarded. However, they still require Monkey Money to play.
- In Bloons Tower Defense 5, all the extreme tracks have multiple paths.
- This is the hardest track difficulty in Bloons TD 5.
- Although BTD6 does not have Extreme Difficulty in the game, there exists an icon for Extreme Difficulty in the game files. It likely does not exist due to how difficult Expert Difficulty Maps are in C.H.I.M.P.S..
- Fans have made their own definition of a "True Expert" map, which encompasses the hardest Expert maps in the game, notably Bloody Puddles, that can arguably be a replacement for Extreme difficulty.
