Reverse Mode

Reverse Mode is a mode in Bloons TD 5 and Bloons TD 6. It was first added on 15th November 2012 for BTD5. In this mode, every bloon appears from the exit and exits at the entrance. When a player completes a track in reverse, they get a green reverse medal for that track. Reverse Mode cannot be in Daily Challenges (BTD5 only) or Special Missions (also BTD5 only).

In BTD5, players do not get extra Monkey Money for completing a track in reverse, only the reverse medal is rewarded and nothing else.

In BTD6, bloons spawn in reverse order (e.g. on Round 24, the Blue Bloons appear before the Camo Green Bloon). Players earn the equivalent to Medium Difficulty rewards, and is a separate reward to Standard Medium. This mode must be beaten to unlock Sandbox Mode for Medium.

Strategy (BTD6)[]

Summary (BTD6)[]

Reverse plays mostly like Standard Medium except each round spawns bloons backwards in order and lanes are reversed.

Because of this, some rounds could be harder than normal, or easier than normal. Threatening rounds are in bold. When Ceramics, MOABs, and DDTs come first and BFBs and ZOMGs come later in normal gameplay (e.g. Round 65), then these rounds are considerably harder in Reverse Mode, as they can clump up each other because Ceramics, MOABs, and DDTs can chase up BFBs and ZOMGs. Also when their regular form comes first and their fortified variant comes later in normal gameplay (e.g. Round 82), then these rounds are considerably harder in Reverse Mode. Some rounds are considerably harder in Reverse Mode because of dense ceramic rushes or DDT rushes spawn sooner than normal (e.g. Round 95). Many later rounds are generally harder than its normal counterpart.

Rounds that are considerably harder in Reverse Mode: Round 41, Round 48, Round 50, Round 52, Round 55, Round 56, Round 65, Round 68, Round 69, Round 70, Round 73, Round 75, Round 78, Round 79, Round 81, Round 82, Round 84, Round 88, Round 89, Round 90, Round 95, Round 96, Round 106, Round 108, Round 110, Round 112, Round 113, Round 117, Round 118, Round 121, Round 126, Round 127, Round 138
Rounds that are considerably easier in Reverse Mode: Round 45, Round 47, Round 98, Round 103, Round 104, Round 116, Round 119, Round 122, Round 125, Round 133, Round 137, Round 140

Trivia[]

Version 1.4 in Bloons TD 5 Mobile added The Great Divide along with Reverse Mode.
It is possible to win two medals at once in BTD5 if Reverse Mode is completed on a track which selected difficulty hasn't been completed before.
Sometimes, Reverse Mode will make a track easier (ex. Crypt Keeper, Switch, Lightning Scar, Mount Magma, Down the Drain, or Adora's Temple) or it will sometimes make a track harder (ex: River Rapids, Lava Fields, Water Hazard, Snake River or Dark Castle) or doesn't affect the track difficulty (ex: The Great Divide or Haunted).
The player does not get a different or extra amount of monkey money for completing a map on reverse in BTD5 Flash or BTD5 Mobile.
Reverse is one of two modes that can be enabled on any difficulty, the other being Fast-Track Mode. However, unlike Fast-Track Mode, Reverse Mode is free.
- In BTD6, Reverse Mode can only be played on Medium. It also features a reversed spawning order for each round. However, Reverse Mode on Easy and Hard are possible to be set in the Challenge Editor.
There are several achievements available relating to this mode: The Reverser, Adept Reverser, Advanced Reverser, Expert Reverser, Extreme Reverser, Strike That Reverse It, and Reverse Perfection.
