Trivia
- A Super Monkey with Plasma Vision is better at taking down non M.O.A.B. Class Bloons than a Robo Monkey with no Path 1 upgrades.
- A Robo Monkey with Plasma Vision can fire 2 Plasma streams, with a higher popping power.
- In BTD3, this upgrade doesn't change how the Super Monkey looks. In BTD4 and later versions however, it'll give the Super Monkey a purple cape and goggles, possibly to prevent copyright problems.
- In Co-op Mode, Plasma Vision used to be nerfed and it shoots slower, but pops twice as much bloons; this was mostly based on computer performance.
- On BTD Battles, it shoots balls of plasma very fast. While on BTD5 (and Deluxe), it is a solid beam of plasma.
- It can do heavy damage to a MOAB, one can destroy it and its children by itself.
- Apperently plasma blasts shoots slightly slower than double the speed of lasers. This is noticable in Bloons TD 5 Mobile because plasma blasts damage MOAB-class bloons slightly slower than lasers, even though it should theoretically be the same.
- In Bloons Monkey City, the artwork shows the "B" from the chest in a mirror-like view.
- In BTD3 and BTD4, Plasma Vision cost the same as the Super Monkey without upgrades.
- Getting this upgrade with the Robo Monkey is deadly MOAB popping power.
