'''On-track placeables''' are a gameplay element of the [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]], officially present from [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']] to [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']] with the exception of [[Bloons TD Battles|''Bloons TD Battles'']]. While present in the [[Tower]] selection menu, ~~road items~~ are not towers, instead being directly placed on the [[path]] of a [[map]] to affect [[Bloon|Bloons]]. They are still usually purchased with [[cash]].

'''On-track placeables''' (more popularly known by the community as '''Road Items''') are a gameplay element of the [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]], officially present from [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']] to [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']] with the exception of the [[Bloons TD Battles (Flash)|Flash version of ''Bloons TD Battles'']]. While present in the [[Tower]] selection menu, placeables are not towers, instead being directly placed on the [[path]] of a [[map]] to affect [[Bloon|Bloons]].

Throughout the series, there have generally been three "main" selections of placeable:

* Monkey Glue, which slows down Bloons floating over it before expiring.

While on-track placeables aren't their own category in ''Bloons TD Battles'' or [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']], the concept remains through select [[Power|Powers]] in ''6'' and the [[Bloons TD Battles (mobile)|mobile version of ''Battles'']] or items present in [[Geraldo's Shop]] from ''6'' derived from the ~~item~~ archetypes.

Starting from [[Bloons TD 4|''Bloons TD 4'']], Road Spikes have been the projectile for the [[Spike Factory]] tower. In ''Bloons Monkey City'', the [[Spike Shack]] [[Building]] grants the player 5 piles per Shack. In ''Bloons TD 6'', standard Road Spikes have largely been supplanted by the similarly-named [[Road Spikes (BTD6)|Road Spikes]] Power and the [[Stack of Old Nails]] Shop item.

=== Monkey Glue ===

[[File:BTD4HD glue.png|thumb|80x80px|Icon in ''Bloons TD 4'']]

'''Monkey Glue''' was introduced in ''Bloons Tower Defense 2'', but was absent from ''Bloons TD 5'' before returning as a Power in the mobile version of ''Bloons TD Battles''. It is a blob of yellow glue that expires after coating up to 20 Bloons or the round ending.

'''Monkey Glue''' was introduced in ''Bloons Tower Defense 2'', but was absent from ''Bloons TD 5'' and ''Monkey City'' before returning as a Power in the mobile version of ''Bloons TD Battles''. It is a blob of yellow glue that expires after coating up to 20 Bloons or the round ending.

The [[Glue Gunner]] introduced in ''Bloons TD 4'' doesn't place piles of Monkey Glue, but it gives the same slowing and visual effects. The [[Glue Trap]] Power and the [[Tube of Amaz-o-Glue]] Shop item replace the Monkey Glue in function in ''Bloons TD 6''.

=== Exploding Pineapples ===

[[File:BTD4HD Pineapple.png|thumb|80x80px|Icon in ''Bloons TD 4'']]

'''Exploding Pineapples''' (or just '''Pineapples''') were introduced in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']]. They are, as the name indicates, completely normal pineapples that proceed to display a red countdown before exploding in a small area after three seconds, as pineapples ~~usually~~ do.

They are, as the name indicates, completely normal pineapples that proceed to display a red countdown before exploding in a small area after three seconds, as pineapples are known to do.

Starting from ''Bloons TD 4'', the ability to drop Explosive Pineapples has been an upgrade for the [[Monkey Ace]] tower. In fact, this upgrade is the only appearance the Pineapple has made in the ''Bloons TD 6'' generation aside from being equipable as an Uncommon [[Weapon (BATTD)|Weapon]] in ''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]''. In ''Bloons Monkey City'', the [[Pineapple Stand]] grants the player 5 pineapples per Stand.
