'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the final upgrade for [[Monkey Ace]] in [[Bloons Tower Defense 4|BTD4]] and the third upgrade on the second path in BTD5. It allows the ace to shoot faster and shoots out 16 darts with each shot instead of 8. It will also drop [[Pineapple]]s at faster rates (in BTD4 only). It is very useful for thinning out a large number of bloons during the later [[Round]]s.

Operation: Dart Storm (BTD4-BTD5) is the final upgrade for Monkey Ace in BTD4 and the third upgrade on the second path in BTD5. It allows the ace to shoot faster and shoots out 16 darts with each shot instead of 8. It will also drop Pineapples at faster rates (in BTD4 only). It is very useful for thinning out a large number of bloons during the later Rounds though it's not too effective against Moab class bloons.

Trivia

  • The name of the upgrade is likely to either be a reference to [Dark Storm|Operation: Dark Storm] or Operation: Desert Storm.
  • The plane looks similar to the B-2 Spirit Bomber. The tower upgrade on the tablet version of BTD4 is even more realistic due to the cockpit.
    • In Bloons TD 5 instead of the B-2 Spirit, the plane looks like a F-117 Nighthawk, except with just one tail fin. This makes it more fitting as F-117s were actually used in Desert Storm. However, in the official art they have no fin.
  • When using the Supply Drop Ability, a plane similar to the Operation: Dart Storm (albeit slightly darker) will come and drop a crate containing $500 – $1500.
