'''Alternate Bloons Rounds''' (often abbreviated as '''ABR''') is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In standard play, it is played on [[Hard]] difficulty. This mode redesigns the first ~~100~~ [[round]]s to be much more difficult, generally by introducing strong Bloon types earlier and having more rounds with [[Bloon Mod]]s such as [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. After round ~~100~~, the game changes to [[freeplay (BTD6)|freeplay]] round generation with no alterations. Since the mode is normally played on Hard difficulty, rounds 1 and 2 are skipped by default and the player wins after completing round 80; rounds 81-~~100~~ are optional and rounds 1 and 2 can only be seen in other modes such as the [[Challenge Editor]].

'''Alternate Bloons Rounds'''{{fn|Also parsed "Alternate Bloon Rounds".}} (often abbreviated as '''ABR''') is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In standard play, it is played on [[Hard]] difficulty. This mode redesigns the first 140 [[round]]s to be much more difficult, generally by introducing strong Bloon types earlier and having more rounds with [[Bloon Mod]]s such as [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s.

Some rounds, like 76, in Alternate Bloons Rounds are considered easier than Standard Rounds. Round 76 in Standard Rounds contains several [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramics]], but Round 76 in Alternate Bloons Rounds features several [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]<nowiki/>s. Despite Round 76 in ABR having a higher RBE, Round 76 in ABR can be easier with better MOAB-class damage.

Rounds 101-140 do not exist in the {{console version|Bloons TD 6}} due to it being based on an older version.

==Strategy==

Alternate Bloons Rounds has greatly increased difficulty compared to Hard Standard. More challenging Bloon types with extra immunities, such as [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camos]], [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Leads]], [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purples]], all appear earlier. In addition, many rounds are greatly increased in difficulty, such as Round 40 having a Fortified MOAB. Therefore, defenses should be well-equipped for all Bloon types and be able to defend more than in Hard Standard. Some progression in obtaining Monkey Knowledge is recommended before attempting Alternate Bloons Rounds.
