'''NAPS''' (short for '''No Agents, Premiums, or Specialties''') is a type of self-imposed challenge in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. Conceived by community players, it is not part of the game itself, but is an extrinsic way for a player to increase the difficulty of a game. The player may ~~use~~ it on any [[map|track]] and any game mode.

'''NAPS''' (short for '''No Agents, Premiums, or Specialties''') is a type of self-imposed challenge in ''[[Bloons TD 5]]''. Conceived by community players, it is not part of the game itself, but is an extrinsic way for a player to increase the difficulty of a game. The player may attempt it on any [[map|track]] and any game mode.

There are many variants of NAPS. The most popular is '''NAPSFRILLS''' (short for '''No Agents, Premiums, Specialties, Farming, Road Items, Lives Lost, or Selling'''), which applies even more restrictions.

Line 9:

In a NAPS game, the player must abide by the following restrictions:

*The player cannot use any [[Special Agent]]s.

*The player cannot use any premiums (meaning [[Premium Upgrade]]s, [[injection]]s, [[continue]]s, and ~~pre-game power-ups~~ in the {{flash version|Bloons TD 5}}).

*The player cannot use any premiums (meaning [[Premium Upgrade]]s, [[injection]]s, [[continue]]s, and, in the {{flash version|Bloons TD 5}}, pre-game power-ups).

*The player cannot enable any [[Specialty Building]]s.

In NAPSFRILLS, the following rules apply in addition to the above:

*Farming is not allowed. (There is no consensus definition of "farming"; this usually means [[Banana Farm (BTD5)|Banana Farm]]s are not allowed and the player may not use the [[Supply Drop (BTD5)|Supply Drop]] ability or [[Support Chinook (BTD5)|Support Chinook]]'s Vital Supplies ability, but whether this also forbids [[Monkey Town (BTD5)|Monkey Town]], [[Bloon Trap (BTD5)|Bloon Trap]], or [[Regrow farm]]ing is open to interpretation.)

*The player cannot use [[Road Spikes (BTD5)|Road Spikes]] or [[Pineapple (BTD5)|Pineapple]]s ~~("road items")~~.

*The player cannot use [[Road Spikes (BTD5)|Road Spikes]] or [[Pineapple (BTD5)|Pineapple]]s.

*The player cannot lose any [[life|lives]].

*The player cannot [[sell]] any towers.

This effectively limits the player to only using towers, upgrades, and (outside of NAPSFRILLS) Road Spikes and Pineapples. The player may play in NAPS or NAPSFRILLS with some restrictions lifted to create an easier variant of the challenge, denoted by removing the appropriate letter or letters from the acronym. For example, "NAP" and "NAPFRILLS" are the same as NAPS and NAPSFRILLS, respectively, except with Specialty Buildings allowed.

The following features are not explicitly covered by the names of NAPS and NAPSFRILLS, as they released after players coined the names of these challenges, but are traditionally excluded or only allowed in variants of the challenge:

The following features are not explicitly covered by the names of NAPS and NAPSFRILLS, as they ~~came out~~ after the ~~conception~~ of these challenges~~. Depending on the player's preference~~, ~~these may~~ or ~~may not be~~ allowed:

*[[Double Cash Mode (BTD5)|Double Cash Mode]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', where it is not treated as a Premium Upgrade

*Injections and continues in ''Deluxe'', the {{~~mobile~~ version|Bloons TD 5}}, and the {{console version|Bloons TD 5}}, where they are not technically premium items but still cost [[Monkey Money (BTD5)|Monkey Money]]

*Injections and continues in ''Deluxe'', the {{multiplat version|Bloons TD 5}}, and the {{console version|Bloons TD 5}}, where they are not technically premium items but still cost [[Monkey Money (BTD5)|Monkey Money]]

*[[FastTrack (BTD5)|FastTrack]]

*The [[Monkey Lab]]

*The [[Bloon Scrambler]]

*Free towers, Road Spikes, and Pineapples from [[Quest (BTD5)|Quest]]s and [[Daily Reward]]s
