==Trivia==
*In the {{flash version of|Bloons 2}}, as well as ''[[Bloons 2 Christmas Expansion]]'' and ''[[Bloons 2 Spring Fling]]'', the {{key|M}} key is supposed to function as a hotkey for activating Max Power, but it does not work due to a coding error.

In the Bloons TD series, hotkeys exist in the Flash and desktop versions of Bloons TD 4, Bloons TD 5, Bloons TD Battles, Bloons Monkey City, Bloons TD 6, Bloons Adventure Time TD, and Bloons TD Battles 2.
