- This article is about the status effect turning Bloons into gold. For the type of path in Bloons Monkey City, see Gold Path.
Gold is a status effect in Bloons TD 6 and Bloons Adventure Time TD. It is inflicted by attacks that turn the affected bloons into gold, increasing the money granted by popping those bloons and their descendants.
Bloons Wiki represents this status effect with , the upgrade icon for Rubber to Gold, an upgrade that can grant this status. It contrasts with Convert Lead Into Gold in that not only is the cash granted different, but also that Lead to Gold does not get passed on to the affected bloons' children, while the Gold status does get inherited by bloon children.
Rubber to Gold is the only upgrade allowing this status to be inflicted in Bloons TD 6.
The Gold status returns in Bloons Adventure Time TD. It can be granted by either innately by an attack or enabled by an equipped item. Items and towers able to grant the Gold status in BATTD include:
- Dr. Monkey's Alchemy upgrade
- King of Ooo
- King of Ooo's Scepter
- Betty Grof
- Magic Man's Hat
