Moon Landing is an Intermediate Map in Bloons TD 6, added in Version 6.0, on November 19th 2018, along with the Expert Map Quad and the Mortar Monkey.
Overview[]
This track takes place on the moon. However, moon-based gravity does not apply on this map, so the map will still act like normal maps.
Bloons enter from the bottom, travel around the center and inner perimeters of each of the 3 giant craters. All of the craters block the view for many towers, especially Sniper Monkeys, making towers such as Mortar Monkeys and Heli Pilots ideal towers for countering this problem. Inside the big craters is a spiral representing the path for Bloons to move on. The craters are connected by quake lines and lead to the exit. The 3rd one also has a blue flag with a logo (which resembles NASA's logo but with a banana instead). Beside the large craters, there's also 8 small ones (top left have 2, bottom right and bottom left have 3 each), and meteors will fly across the screen.

Summary[]
The three craters present opportunities for otherwise niche towers to excel here such as Ultra-Juggernaut due to it's low base damage not being suited in normal late-game, though getting the tower in the right spot can be a challenge to nail first try. Mortar Monkey also stands out here because the bloons group up as they enter in the crater, allowing easy utilization of the mobile splash damage they have.
Tips[]
- Mortar Monkey sees high usage on this map due to the fact that the craters allow them to hit bloons reliably without much micromanagement.
- Alchemist can work as a starting tower on this map, because of the craters offering thick loops.
- Archmage can be used to ignore the line-of-sight blockers presented by the craters. With enough range buffs it can see in all the craters if standing in the middle of them.

Trivia[]
- This map is the fourth new Intermediate map to be released to BTD6.
- Due to the shape and the release of the map, this map is likely designed to optimize the Mortar Monkey.
- On less powerful devices the meteors never appear flying across the screen.
- The flag on this map is a banana with a blue background with circles around it. The logo on Striker Jones' hat has a design consisting of a pattern of Roman-style leaves, Bananas, and darts. The flags on Dark Castle have a banana on a red background. The logo on Admiral Brickell's hat is an anchor, which is also the icon for her ability, Naval Tactics.
- According to Ninja Kiwi's 18th February 2022 blog, monkeys landed on the moon first before the bloons.
