The {{~~mobile~~ version of|Bloons TD 5}} is a game for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, and later ported to Windows and macOS (replacing ''Deluxe'' after it was discontinued) developed by [[Ninja Kiwi Europe]]. It is a from-the-ground-up remake in a new engine with completely redone graphics. This version introduces several features, such as the [[Monkey Lab]] and [[Impoppable (BTD5)|Impoppable]] mode, and incorporates some elements from ''Deluxe'', such as the Monkey Engineer and Bloonchipper. This version includes almost all of the content in the Flash version, except for a few tracks. There are several gameplay differences between this version and the Flash version, such as [[Intermediate]] and [[Advanced]] tracks now requiring the player to win on other tracks to unlock them and [[Specialty Building]]s having four tiers instead of three.

The {{console version of|Bloons TD 5}} is a port of the mobile version for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, and is playable on other consoles through backwards compatibility. It features both local and online [[Co-op (BTD5)|Co-op]] and wider [[map|tracks]], but omits most of the events and lacks content added to the mobile version since release.
