Three Mines 'Round is a Beginner map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 51.0. It takes place in a desert with a layout based on 3 Times Around from Bloons TD 5.[1] It features removable Bananite[2] crystals that block line of sight and take several rounds to remove, but return more cash than they cost once removed.
Layout
[edit | edit source]The path starts at the top going down, loops three times anticlockwise around the center of the map, and exits at the bottom. The dried river to the left of the path has small puddles of water for water towers and allows land towers to be placed on the dried land and bridges, but not on the riverbanks. The rocks with Bananite crystals and the tent in the top-left block placement and line of sight.
Bananite crystals
[edit | edit source]This map features six rocks with Bananite crystals that take 10 rounds to remove, except the one in the bottom-right corner, which takes 20 rounds. They earn the same amount of cash on all modes and difficulty levels, even in CHIMPS, Half Cash, and Deflation, but not with Double Cash Mode. Visually, a monkey resembling a Bloontonium Miner appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed (three appear for the one in the bottom-right).
| Location | Cost | Returns | Profit | Total Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under the loop | $435 | $870 | $435 | $435 |
| Left side | $3,000 | $4,600 | $1,600 | $2,035 |
| Bottom-right inside the loop | $10,000 | $15,000 | $5,000 | $7,035 |
| Above the loop | $25,000 | $37,000 | $12,000 | $19,035 |
| Top-left inside the loop | $50,000 | $72,000 | $22,000 | $41,035 |

Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 opportunities to target Bloons. While the coverage at the middle of the big loop is tempting, this location can be prone to chasing unless the tower has an area-of-effect (such as a range-buffed Inferno Ring). Instead, some of the optimal spots are near the parts of the lane that intersect.
This map can be beaten with general strategies listed here.
Basic Deflation strategies
Basic Apopalypse strategies
Basic Half Cash strategies
Basic Alternate Bloons Rounds strategies
Basic Impoppable strategies
Basic CHIMPS strategies
The cheapest crystal is almost always worth harvesting, as it is more cost-efficient than early Banana Farms on Medium. Outside of CHIMPS, Deflation and Half Cash, though, the other crystals are not as efficient as traditional farming methods (even on Impoppable), and generally should only be removed if the space or open sight lines are needed. The last crystal especially is too expensive and leaves the player in a deficit for too long to be worth it outside of CHIMPS challenge runs, and it's the only crystal that does not provide extra land. It is generally better to invest in some crystals during easy rounds and ignore the more expensive crystals.

Resolved a bug where the mining state of Bananite Cystals was not saved properly on Boss Challenge / Boss Bloon Event checkpoints (bug fix)
- Bananite Crystal income is no longer affected by Double Cash Mode
Pre-release
[edit | edit source]This map was revealed during the update preview notes of version 51.0:
| “ | New Beginner Freeplay Challenge Map, Three Mines ‘Round!
|
” |
In the early access videos, Ethan Reid received a different build of the game compared to the rest of content creators and, along with an earlier name for the Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker, it showcased an earlier version of the map where it takes place at night, leading to darker lighting with brighter spots around the lamps and the campfire, and the costs and returns are assigned to different crystals.
| Location | Cost in Ethan Reid's video | Cost in other videos |
|---|---|---|
| Under the loop | $435 | $435 |
| Left side | $50,000 | $3,000 |
| Bottom-right inside the loop | $25,000 | $10,000 |
| Above the loop | $10,000 | $25,000 |
| Top-left inside the loop | $3,000 | $50,000 |
| Bottom right corner | $100,000 | $100,000 |
