Not to be confused with Tack Shooter.
A Tack Bloon is a Pink Bloon with a tack symbol on it. When popped, it shoots a volley of tacks in 8 directions. It was featured in the level Surprise (Bloons Pop 1) and Right n Left in Bloons 2. However, the tack symbol shimmers over time in Bloons 2. In Bloons 2 Christmas Pack, it is a mistletoe, and shoots mistletoe instead of tacks. And in Bloons 2 Spring Fling, it is a rose. Each tack can only pop one Bloon.
This Bloon is commonly used in 'Chain-Reaction' levels made by the community, as if a tack from the Bloon hits another Bloon, it activates it's abilities and so on and so on. It is also good for getting into tricky places that darts thrown by the monkey cannot reach.

Unofficial Name The term "Prickly Bloon" is only a conjectural term coined by fans and has not been confirmed by official sources (e.g. in-game, Ninja Kiwi blog). |
The Tack Bloon appears in Bloons Super Monkey 2 again, this time with a different artwork. It only makes its appearance at the end of Stage 2-4, which is also the stage where UFO Bloons debuted. The Tack Bloon in Bloons Super Monkey 2 is a grey bloon with tacks in it. Popping it, like the previous Tack Bloon, will cause 8 darts to fly out in 8 directions. Currently, this bloon in BSM2 is coined as the "Prickly Bloon".
