The Golden Bloon's rewards are simply not worth it. Assuming all medals are obtained (because grinding for medals rewards much more monkey money compared to replaying a game with a medal obtained), they only provide a fraction of the monkey money obtained for just beating the map normally, usually around 30% at most on beginner maps, and providing worse returns the higher the difficulty. Golden Bloons still require popping many of them to gain the monkey money, which usually involves stalling towers that go against the grain of speeding through level completions to get the end of game monkey money reward. Thus, the only true incentive to popping Golden Bloons is to unlock achievements related to Golden Bloons. | The Golden Bloon's rewards are simply not worth it.
