The map features 2 winding tracks that intersect towards the center. The Bloons come from the top-left and bottom-right corners, and move towards the opposite corner. The main gimmick of this map is that Monkeys cannot see or damage Bloons that are in the dark, nor can Monkeys be placed in the dark.

By default the center mushroom is the only light source, and the smaller mushroom patches can be lit up for $250 in order to increase the revealed area. ~~Hidden~~ Bloons ~~will not take damage from any projectile or consume pierce~~, similar to how ~~camo~~ Bloons function with towers that cannot see camo. Once the four smaller mushroom patches have been purchased, the larger mushroom can be bought for $400, which increases the light radius of all mushrooms.

By default the center mushroom is the only light source, and the smaller mushroom patches can be lit up for $250 in order to increase the revealed area. Towers cannot detect Bloons in the hidden area, similar to how Camo Bloons function with towers that cannot see camo, but their projectiles can still hit them normally. [[Downdraft (BTD6)|Downdraft]] and higher can still use its main attack on hidden Bloons, but only on Bloons it has just blown back. Once the four smaller mushroom patches have been purchased, the larger mushroom can be bought for $400, which increases the light radius of all mushrooms.

{{strategy needed|1=see if mortar/dartling can make for viable lategame towers (don't just add them because they can hit anywhere)}}

Overall, the early game is the hardest part of this map with its darkness gimmick, limiting placement and vision while being not an obstacle. It gets relatively easier ~~statting~~ from about the 20s once all the mushrooms can be lighted up. That being said, the mushrooms don't have to be ~~lighted~~ up, because some towers actually thrive off this.
