Tack Shooter Mastery before the Version 1.0.6 update (old prices)

Monkey Mastery is a cosmetic system for individual monkeys in Bloons TD Battles 2. Monkey Mastery is unlocked when all upgrades of a certain Monkey have been unlocked. Each Monkey in the game has nine purchasable cosmetics, which do not have to be purchased in order. These cosmetics could be Monkey-specific, such as unique animations, or a themed piece of Bling, like Bloon decals and emotes.

Monkey Mastery is accessible on the third tab of an individual monkey's upgrade information page.

Upon unlocking all Monkey Mastery cosmetics of a particular tower, Monkey Prestige is unlocked.
