Special Items are a game mechanic in Bloons Monkey City. They are unique unlockable items that grant permanent enhancements, mainly for the player's city and for certain towers. In the Flash version only, certain consumable items are classified as Special Items as well.
Special Items can be obtained by capturing a tile with a Treasure Chest, as a reward for completing a Special Mission, or, in the Mobile version only, by completing certain events. Consumable Special Items can be obtained by purchasing them with Bloonstones, by participating in certain events, as a random reward from Monkey Knowledge Bounty Cards, or by competing in Contested Territory.
In the Flash version, Special Items are shared between the player's cities in Grassy Pass and Bloon Dunes. While most Special Items can be obtained in either city, some can only be obtained in Bloon Dunes.
