'''Monkey Star''' is a [[Perk]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants a [[buff]] to the first tower placed by a player (including [[Hero]]es ~~and~~ tower-based [[Power]]s<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/wpCBdWeeic|title=Is it purposeful or is it a bug?|quote=Yeah Powers can get the effect of Monkey Star as well.

The buff doubles its base [[damage]] and increases its [[range]] by 50%, but doubles its upgrade costs (including Hero XP requirements) and increases its [[footprint]] size by 50% as a trade-off, but the crosspaths of Tier 5 towers will lose the upgrade cost penalty. It also increases the tower's model size, which is purely visual. It does not affect the cost of [[Paragon]] upgrades, and upgrading the Super Star into a Paragon removes the buff. In [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], only one tower can receive the buff.

This Perk has several unusual interactions:

Line 18:

**[[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s Shop items are considered sub-towers of Geraldo and gain the buff if Geraldo is the Super Star. The exception is [[Bottle of 'Gerry's Fire' Hot Sauce|Gerry's Fire]], which receives the buff if attached to the Super Star regardless of if the Super Star is Geraldo or not, because it acts as a sub-tower of the tower it is attached to, not Geraldo. It does not affect items that spawn projectiles or buffs instead of towers, such as the [[Stack of Old Nails]].

*It does not affect the cost of Geraldo's Shop items if he is the Super Star, despite applying the buff to some of his items.

*[[Pat Fusty (BTD6)|Pat Fusty]] is not affected by range buff.

*There is a bug that causes Monkey Star to transfer to the next first tower after selling the Monkey Star and updating the game save.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/LMoPsXURfr</ref>
