*The Geraldo bug introduced in version 56.2 has caused Geraldo to be disabled on Day 2 of a running [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]] event, specifically Event 105.
*Geraldo's bugged prices are based on a percentage of the base cost, or the base cost if it's Medium. Anything costing $0 is marked as just "$". The bugged prices of Geraldo items are as follows:
**Easy: Free (less than 100% base cost)
**Hard: 8% of base cost, rounded to the nearest $5
