* There was a strange interaction with Downdraft and [[Monkey Intelligence Bureau (BTD6)|Monkey Intelligence Bureau]] whereby MIB allows Downdraft to blowback Leads but not Frozen, even though Downdraft normally blowbacks neither Frozen nor Lead. As of 25.1 testing, this glitch no longer exists. Instead, Downdraft is unable to blowback Lead or Frozen Bloons completely. Frozen Bloons unfrozen are still are blown backwards if affected by at least one Downdraft effect, even after 25.1.

**Prior to Version 36.0 reworking Downdraft's blowback effects, there was an interesting interaction with [[Frozen Bloon]]s whereby the Downdraft effect can affect them only after the bloons defrost. This was discovered in Version 25.0 after Ninja Kiwi applied a damage types rework for many towers in the game. After v36.0, Frozen Bloons thaw before getting blown backwards once affected by Downdraft.

*The target reticle for Focused Firing Dartling is smaller than that from the Increased Accuracy Mortar.

*[???] There is a bug when testing personal challenges. If the player enters a round with the Wizard Lord ability still active, lose that round and replay the round, the ability will be deactivated while the flame rune is still there. The rune will seem to "face" to the target bloons and attack just like a normal Wizard Lord. Reactivating the ability will make it normal again. Patched at an unknown update.

*The Sun Temple's cash per pop bonus appears to be disabled in Sandbox Mode.

*The True Sun God is potentially a reference to Golden Frieza from Dragon Ball Super, as the stance it uses in its artwork is similar to that of the stance commonly used by Frieza, especially after transforming. **rather similar to me but it's still speculation

*Distraction is the only Tier 1 Ninja Monkey upgrade that was Tier 2 in BTD5 generation games.

*Although Sticky Bombs cannot be thrown at non-MOAB Class bloons, Bloon Master Alchemist can force a MOAB-Class bloon to become a Red Bloon automatically, allowing a previously attacked Sticky Bomb to be plastered onto the resulting Red Bloon.

**Since Master Bomber immediately throws a bomb on being upgraded, it is possible to have a sticky bomb get placed on a Ceramic Bloon if an x-x-4 Ninja is upgraded to x-x-5 such that the first sticky bomb pops the MOAB after the Master Bomber has thrown its bomb but before the bomb hits its target.

*Popping a bloon with the Druid's instakill vines will still produce a normal pop sound and visual effects, regardless of what type of bloon pop effect from the Trophy Store is enabled.

==Trivia to be rewrote and added==

Line 18:

Line 26:

* In the Dartling Gunner trailer for BTD6, the music used is "Force Field" by Skrya, licensed by Epidemic Sound Publishing.

* Until Version 46.0 or 47.0, Dartling's Insta images were named <code>xxx-DartlingGunner<nowiki />InstaInsta.png</code>, but changed to remove that duplicated "Insta" word.

* The design of the Ray of Doom is likely based on stereotypical supervillain death rays.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's December 3rd 2021 blog, Ray of Doom Dartling sits on a recliner seat. The operator describes it as "relaxing on a cloud", but Dr. Monkey says it is his "patented La-Z-Monkey technology" according to the thoughts of Ninja Kiwi.

* Advanced targeting adds a fourth barrel despite not yet increasing atkspd

* The multiple explosion mechanic for the Hydra Rocket Pods in BTD6 is likely inspired by a bug in the mobile versions of BTD5 generation games whereby Hydra Rocket Pods projectiles gain +1 explosion when paired with pierce buffs such as Monkey Village's Monkey Fort upgrade. Interestingly enough, the bug still exists in BTD5 Mobile and BMC Mobile, but not in BTDB Mobile.

*The name is based off of the real life Hydra 70mm rockets.

* the artwork of this upgrade resembles 0-4-1 Dartling instead of 0-4-0 as the Dartling in the artwork contains a tripod.

*The sound for the Rocket Storm ability is identical to that from Captain Churchill's MOAB Barrage ability when the Hero Voicelines option is disabled.

*Despite the fact that it looks completely different from the BTD5 Bloon Area Denial System, its BTD5 counterpart, the Rocket Storm actually does a similar pose to it.

*MAD is also an acronym of "mutually assured destruction", a form of military strategy involving the threat of full-scale destruction against both opposing sides, usually with WMDs. This is further referenced with a preceding upgrade employing a radioactive element.

* On the Version 29.2 patch notes detailing about the bug fix of Powerful Darts unexpectably preventing lead-popping for Plasma Accelerator and Ray of Doom, the upgrade name for Powerful Darts is incorrectly written with an "F" instead of a "D", resulting in a misspelling that jokingly implies the act of producing odorous flatulence. This misspelling is likely a typo, though it has never been corrected. https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/rbhs6d/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_290/

*Buckshot is projectile inside a shotgun shell that are shot from the shell itself when a shot is fired, the shell itself is stuck while its contents are released from muzzle.

*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_denial_weapon

*Bloon Area Denial System is the only upgrade in BTD6 that does not at all resemble an existing BTD5 upgrade of the same name

*An "exclusion zone" is a terrestrial region where human access is forbidden.

*The first Dartling Gunner 2TC was achieved by Dabloon, with 0-2-5 Prince of Darkness + 0-2-5 Bloon Exclusion Zone.[1]

*Bloon Exclusion Zone is the only Tier 5 Dartling without an appearance in the Dartling Gunner trailer video.

* This upgrade is possibly inspired by the Tier 3 Mage Spire in BTD5, which grants a homing bolt.

* In the upgrade artwork it shows the wizard holding the staff in its right hand but the actual tower holds it in the left hand. (archmag)

*Consider this upgrade could be defined as 5-3-3, as Archmage uses both attacks from Path 2 and 3 Tier 3 upgrades.

*Fireball is the only Magic Monkey attack that has Black Bloon weaknesses. Other types of explosions from Magic Monkeys, such as Flash Bomb, Sticky Bomb, Unstable Concoction, and the exploding vines of Spirit of the Forest's VineRuptureIcon Vine Rupture all can pop Black Bloons.

*The filenames for the sound effects representing Wall of Fire spawning are named FireBall01.wav to FireBall05.wav. Possibly, those sounds were originally intended to be used for the Fireball attack but were instead reused for Wall of Fire.

*The Dragon's Breath flame projectiles actually do come from the Wizard Monkey's mouth if observed closely.

*The Phoenix's flight path is a smaller version of Centered Path in Bloons TD 6.

*The Summon Phoenix ability sound is identical to the one in Bloons TD 5 Flash.

*Intense Magic has a blue glow in its upgrade icon, but not its upgrade portrait.

*The Version 35.0 update giving more range for Monkey Sense makes this upgrade now more similar to the Crystal Ball premium upgrade from BTD4.

*Undead bloons are not affected by the Big Bloon Option. This also occurs with the undead MOABs and BFBs spawned by Prince of Darkness.

*The first mention of the Wizard Monkey Paragon on Ninja Kiwi's 3rd June 2022 blog was actually part of an answer regarding the release of Druid Paragon.

*There is a tower in BTD5 that uses a similar concept to Paragons, called the Wizard Lord (not to be confused with Wizard Lord Phoenix). The concept of a Wizard Monkey Paragon is not entirely new, however, as both towers combine maxed crosspaths from their respective upgrade trees.

*The tail of the phoenix in the paragon portrait resembles that of itself at degrees 81-100 while the rest of the portrait is of degrees 1-20.

*According to Ninja Kiwi’s 9th June 2023 blog, Magus Perfectus has met the original Wizard Lord before, and also made sure it isn’t “the most expensive tower on the map” (which would otherwise lead to it being sacrificed by the Wizard Lord). https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/144q48p/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_9th_june_2023/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

*In the in-game files, the phoenix is called "TwilightPhoenix".

*In the in-game files, the Phoenix Explosion ability is "PhoenixRebirth", as implied by the filename for the ability icon, "PhoenixRebirthIconAA.png".

*Magus Perfectus' Arcane Metamorphosis ability reuses the SFX for Soulbind's sacrifice ability. The soundfile for this is named ActivatedSoulbind.wav

*The Support Sun Temple's and True Sun God's increased cash per pop buff formerly did apply even in C.H.I.M.P.S., which made it the only upgrade path to do so.

*Sun temple in encrypted

*The name "True" Sun God refers to how the Sun Avatars are merely channeling its power, discarding their former name of "Sun Gods" in BTD4 and BTD5.

*True Sun God is one of five towers referenced (or at least had their names said) by a hero, with Captain Churchill saying "The Sun God fights on the side with the best artillery!" and Adora also referencing it by saying "The Temple Provides!".

*True Sun God's appearance may be partially based on a lemur as it has a ringed tail.

*According to Ninja Kiwi's November 12th 2021 blog, True Sun God only sacrifices towers considered as cannon fodder (i.e. expendable units of war), and therefore does not sacrifice Heroes, which have names and therefore does not consider them as cannon fodder. https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173455-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-12th-november-2021?mobile=0

**However, the Monkey Names feature seemingly contradicts this lore.

*According to Ninja Kiwi's January 21st 2022 blog, Ninja Kiwi believes that True Sun God can't see camo because it has sun in its eyes. https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173462-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-21st-january-2022?mobile=0

**According to Ninja Kiwi's 5th November 2021 blog, Ninja Kiwi believes that Sun Avatar can see through sunlight, allowing it to see through Sun Avatar's own glowing sunbeams and therefore can detect bloons even while attacking.https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0

*In Bloons TD 6, its green plasma ball turns blue when above water. The Annihilation green ring remains green above water.

*Ninja Kiwi states that the Tech Terror's robotic suit is constructed by Dr. Monkey in their February 18, 2022 blog. https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173465-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-18th-february-2022?mobile=0

*The Anti-Bloon is the icon for BTD6's main Hard Mode, changed from a Robo-Monkey in BTD5.

*The Anti-Bloon appears when the "Metal Muncher" victory callout is gained after finishing a game.

*The only upgrade description to ever use the < and > symbols belongs to The Anti-Bloon, including in previous games.

*This tower, along with Energizer, makes up the first ever 2 Tower CHIMPS combo.

*The Ultravision upgrade is likely based upon the Tier 3 Super Monkey Lair, which grants camo detection and extra range to Super Monkeys.

*This upgrade is based on Superman's X-Ray Vision.

*Super Monkeys with just Ultravision do not have visible eyes, but adding any other crosspath will add eyes to the Super Monkey.

*batman

*Ignoring Master Builder's Mega Sentries, which do not directly cost money to place, 2-0-4 Dark Champion on Impoppable Mode is the most expensive tower that can be picked up by the Door Gunner MK ability for Special Poperations.

*After the price decrease to Dark Champion, it has become the only Tier 4 upgrade whose upgrade price ends in 5.

*LOTN only guy with pronoun in bio

*Legend of the Night's upgrade portrait has it standing on a piece of rock. This rock, though a different color, is shared with Avatar of Wrath who is also a Magic Monkey.

*Ninja Kiwi confirmed on their [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173478-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-3rd-june-2022 3rd June 2022 blog] that Upper Path 3 Ninja masks are inspired by Oni masks from Japanese culture.

* Unlike BTD5, the Bloonjitsu Ninja Monkey wears a [[wikipedia:Asian conical hat|rice hat]]. Its [[Double Shot (BTD6 Ninja Monkey)|previous upgrade]] is the one to wear a white hood instead.

* [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173480-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-17th-june-2022 According to June 17th 2022 Blog], Grandmaster Ninja is currently unbeaten in chess.

** This is a reference to the real life title of Grandmaster to chess players who have reached an elo rating of 2500 and have three grandmaster norms (favorable outcomes) in international competition.

* Cherry blossom sabo

* The BTD6 Seeking Shuriken upgrade icon features a blue shuriken, but the shurikens in-game remain the same color. All Instamonkey upgrades along Ninja Monkey's Path 3 feature blue shurikens, implying that a visual change to the shurikens was initially planned but scrapped.

** The blue color scheme of shuriken was later incorporated into [[Ascended Shadow]]'s mini-shurikens.

*The upgrade icon resembles the [[Long Life Spikes]] upgrade for the [[Spike Factory]].

*Early on in the game's history, there were rumors that caltrops was actually a ''downgrade'' because it would supposedly make its main attack fire slower. This was never true, and it stemmed from [[Bloons Adventure Time TD]] where [[Sai the Shadow|Sai]]'s Tetsubishi attack would occasionally interrupt her regular attack. This has since been fixed there in the 1.4.1 update. Caltrops does, however, consume alchemist buff shots, but there has never been any evidence that this has made the Ninja Monkey worse overall.

*In BTD5, flash bomb wearing a red bandana and a black ninja suit. In BTD6, Sharp Shurikens wears this instead.

*Ninjagon : The teaser featured the quote "The Bloons will never see me coming...", which is notable for being in first person perspective.

*If Grand Saboteur's ability is used while the Ascended Shadow is on screen, the damage to the bloons at spawn will go to the Grand Saboteur instead of the Paragon until the ability times out.

*The Lead to Gold is a reference to an old medieval myth where court alchemists tried to find a way to turn base metals (especially lead) into gold.

*The concept of the Alchemist is likely inspired by the Alchemist in the popularized fan-made game Bloons TD X, although the functionalities of Alchemist in BTD6 are less offense-based and more support-based.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/11n9ura/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_10th_march_2023/ 10th March 2023 blog], Alchemists use modern technology but favor experimental technology compared to scientist monkeys.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Ninja Kiwi believes that the equivalent of Acidic Mixture Dip to the human world is salsa. Although most salsa is colored red, such as the Pico de Gallo variant, Salsa Verde is a green salsa that most closely resembles Alchemist's Acidic Mixture Dip.

* The only upgrade portrait that clearly depicts the [[Acidic Mixture Dip]] chemicals aside from the Acidic Mixture Dip upgrade itself is Berserker Brew's upgrade portrait.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173458-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-3rd-december-2021?mobile=0 December 3rd 2021 blog], they describe Berserker Brew's taste as ''"RAGE INDUCING!!!!"''.

* When asked on the [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173476-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-6th-may-2022?mobile=0 6th May 2022 blog] about whether Berserker Brew is made of pickles, given the logic of [[Jar of Pickles]] adding damage, Ninja Kiwi stated that Berserker Brew contains ingredients for pickling.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173481-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-23rd-june-2022 23rd June 2022 blog], Berserker Brew tastes similar to fruit juice.

* Ninja Kiwi states that Berserker Brew does not have alcohol, as described in [https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/1jlin5l/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_28th_march_2025_blog/ Ninja Kiwi's 28th March 2025 blog] when answering a question about not making towers drunk.

*The druid paths may be themed after heaven, earth, and hell.

* As of Version 18.0, a 2-2-0 Druid is roughly equivalent to a Rank 4+ (from [[Monkey Knowledge Packs]]) 2-0 [[Monkey Apprentice]] on [[Bloons Monkey City]], except lightning bolts are guaranteed to remove Regrow properties instead of being capped at a 70% chance.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Druid's lightning is based on "seeded formulaics" rather than pure RNG.

* The forking algorithm for Heart of Thunder is the same model as a five-generation binary tree.

* In [[Bloons TD 5 Generation]] games, this upgrade concept used to belong to the [[Monkey Apprentice]] (now named the [[Wizard Monkey]]), up until [[Bloons TD 6]], where it was given to the Druid Monkey's top path. In those games, the Monkey Apprentice's counterpart is [[Summon Whirlwind]].

* Thorn Swarm's upgrade icon only shows 6 thorns instead of 8.

*The Druid's vines are visible on its Insta-monkey Icon, despite not being a part of the tower's base model.

* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Ninja Kiwi claims that gaining more range contributes to expressing emotion further, and hence how the range upgrade contributes towards Path 3's "wrath" theme. **What about the other paths??

*"Poplust" is a reference to the term "bloodlust".

+* [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173480-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-17th-june-2022 According to June 17th 2022 Blog], Grandmaster Ninja is currently unbeaten in chess.
+** This is a reference to the real life title of Grandmaster to chess players who have reached an elo rating of 2500 and have three grandmaster norms (favorable outcomes) in international competition.
+* Cherry blossom sabo
+* The BTD6 Seeking Shuriken upgrade icon features a blue shuriken, but the shurikens in-game remain the same color. All Instamonkey upgrades along Ninja Monkey's Path 3 feature blue shurikens, implying that a visual change to the shurikens was initially planned but scrapped.
+** The blue color scheme of shuriken was later incorporated into [[Ascended Shadow]]'s mini-shurikens.
+*The upgrade icon resembles the [[Long Life Spikes]] upgrade for the [[Spike Factory]].
+*Early on in the game's history, there were rumors that caltrops was actually a ''downgrade'' because it would supposedly make its main attack fire slower. This was never true, and it stemmed from [[Bloons Adventure Time TD]] where [[Sai the Shadow|Sai]]'s Tetsubishi attack would occasionally interrupt her regular attack. This has since been fixed there in the 1.4.1 update. Caltrops does, however, consume alchemist buff shots, but there has never been any evidence that this has made the Ninja Monkey worse overall.
+*In BTD5, flash bomb wearing a red bandana and a black ninja suit. In BTD6, Sharp Shurikens wears this instead.
+*Ninjagon : The teaser featured the quote "The Bloons will never see me coming...", which is notable for being in first person perspective.
+*If Grand Saboteur's ability is used while the Ascended Shadow is on screen, the damage to the bloons at spawn will go to the Grand Saboteur instead of the Paragon until the ability times out.
+*The Lead to Gold is a reference to an old medieval myth where court alchemists tried to find a way to turn base metals (especially lead) into gold.
+*The concept of the Alchemist is likely inspired by the Alchemist in the popularized fan-made game Bloons TD X, although the functionalities of Alchemist in BTD6 are less offense-based and more support-based.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/11n9ura/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_10th_march_2023/ 10th March 2023 blog], Alchemists use modern technology but favor experimental technology compared to scientist monkeys.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Ninja Kiwi believes that the equivalent of Acidic Mixture Dip to the human world is salsa. Although most salsa is colored red, such as the Pico de Gallo variant, Salsa Verde is a green salsa that most closely resembles Alchemist's Acidic Mixture Dip.
+* The only upgrade portrait that clearly depicts the [[Acidic Mixture Dip]] chemicals aside from the Acidic Mixture Dip upgrade itself is Berserker Brew's upgrade portrait.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173458-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-3rd-december-2021?mobile=0 December 3rd 2021 blog], they describe Berserker Brew's taste as ''"RAGE INDUCING!!!!"''.
+* When asked on the [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173476-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-6th-may-2022?mobile=0 6th May 2022 blog] about whether Berserker Brew is made of pickles, given the logic of [[Jar of Pickles]] adding damage, Ninja Kiwi stated that Berserker Brew contains ingredients for pickling.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173481-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-23rd-june-2022 23rd June 2022 blog], Berserker Brew tastes similar to fruit juice.
+* Ninja Kiwi states that Berserker Brew does not have alcohol, as described in [https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/1jlin5l/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_28th_march_2025_blog/ Ninja Kiwi's 28th March 2025 blog] when answering a question about not making towers drunk.
+*The druid paths may be themed after heaven, earth, and hell.
+* As of Version 18.0, a 2-2-0 Druid is roughly equivalent to a Rank 4+ (from [[Monkey Knowledge Packs]]) 2-0 [[Monkey Apprentice]] on [[Bloons Monkey City]], except lightning bolts are guaranteed to remove Regrow properties instead of being capped at a 70% chance.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Druid's lightning is based on "seeded formulaics" rather than pure RNG.
+* The forking algorithm for Heart of Thunder is the same model as a five-generation binary tree.
+* In [[Bloons TD 5 Generation]] games, this upgrade concept used to belong to the [[Monkey Apprentice]] (now named the [[Wizard Monkey]]), up until [[Bloons TD 6]], where it was given to the Druid Monkey's top path. In those games, the Monkey Apprentice's counterpart is [[Summon Whirlwind]].

+* Thorn Swarm's upgrade icon only shows 6 thorns instead of 8.
+*The Druid's vines are visible on its Insta-monkey Icon, despite not being a part of the tower's base model.
+* According to Ninja Kiwi's [https://ninjakiwi.com/blog/news/173454-what-s-up-at-ninja-kiwi-5th-november-2021?mobile=0 5th November 2021 blog], Ninja Kiwi claims that gaining more range contributes to expressing emotion further, and hence how the range upgrade contributes towards Path 3's "wrath" theme. **What about the other paths??
+*"Poplust" is a reference to the term "bloodlust".
