'''CHIMPS'''{{fn|Also formatted as "C.H.I.M.P.S."}} (short for '''No Continues, Hearts lost, Income, Monkey Knowledge, Powers or Selling''') is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In standard play, it is played on [[Hard]] difficulty, but uses rounds 6-100 like [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]]. In singleplayer, it can only be played on a map after completing it on Impoppable.
'''CHIMPS'''{{fn|Also formatted as "C.H.I.M.P.S."}} (short for '''No Continues, Hearts lost, Income, Monkey Knowledge, Powers or Selling''') is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In standard play, it is played on [[Hard]] difficulty. In singleplayer, it can only be played on a map after completing it on [[Impoppable (BTD6)|Impoppable]]. Like Impoppable, it starts on round 6 and ends after round 100. This mode applies a number of restrictions:
*The player starts with one [[life]] and cannot gain any more (except in [[Odyssey (BTD6)|Odyssey]] mode), similar to Impoppable.
*[[Continue]]s are disabled. The option to continue is replaced with "Retry Last Round", similar to the [[Challenge Editor]].
*[[Hero Booster]]s are disabled.
*[[Power]]s (including [[Insta Monkey]]s) are disabled.
*[[Monkey Knowledge (BTD6)|Monkey Knowledge]] does not apply.
*All sources of cash except starting cash, cash per pop, and end-of-round cash are disabled. Map gimmicks that generate cashback (e.g. [[Three Mines 'Round]]) are not disabled.<!--separated sentence, bc not all maps have money-making map gimmicks-->
**[[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]]s, [[XXXL Trap (BTD6)|XXXL Trap]]s, and [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]]'s Wall of Trees only generate the amount of money that would have been gained by popping the bloons normally.
**[[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]]s are disabled (even if enabled in the Challenge Editor).
**[[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash Mode]] does not apply.
*The player cannot [[sell]] most towers. If a tower is forcibly sold through other means, such as using a [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]] to relocate a supporting [[Arctic Wind (BTD6)|Arctic Wind]] or [[Lord of the Abyss]], it returns $0. Note that sacrifices, such as [[Adora (BTD6)|Adora]]'s Blood Sacrifice, are not considered selling.
**The player is still permitted to sell [[Sentry Champion (BTD6)|Champion Sentries]], [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s Level 18+ [[Creepy Idol]], and [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]]'s Marine.
*[[Fast Track Mode]] does not apply.
*[[Perk]]s do not apply.


*No continues: [[Continue]]s are disabled. Outside of [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], the option is replaced with "Retry Last Round", similar to the [[Challenge Editor]].
==Medals==
*No hearts lost: The player starts with one [[life]] and cannot gain any more, similar to Impoppable.
There are two versions of the CHIMPS medal: the red version, which is earned by completing the map on CHIMPS at all, and the black version, which is earned in addition to the red version by completing the game in one session without exiting the game or using the "Retry Last Round" option. If the player only earns the red version, the black version can still be unlocked by replaying the map on CHIMPS and meeting the condition. In [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], the red CHIMPS medal is earned if the player quits and re-joins the game later; this doesn't affect the type of CHIMPS medal the other participants earn, so it's possible for players to get different CHIMPS medals from each other even if they played the same match. The map thumbnail doesn't show the red version if the black version is owned, but both are shown on the [[profile]].
*No income: All ways of earning cash besides starting cash, cash per pop, and end-of-round cash are disabled. [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]]s and [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]]'s Wall of Trees do not multiply the amount of cash per pop.

**[[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]]s are disabled. (They can be enabled through the Challenge Editor, but they serve no purpose since they can't generate cash.)

==Strategy==

CHIMPS is significantly more difficult than most other game modes, especially when going for a [[Map#Borders|black border]] for a map without guides. Avoid placing down too many low-tier towers in the early-game and mid-game that do not become relevant in the late-game. Instead, focus on a few strong towers with support as well. The hero is extremely important during CHIMPS, providing many attacking and supporting capabilities that centralize a defense around, making it important to place the Hero early to scale power and maximize value. Take advantage of support towers such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]] and [[MOAB Glue (BTD6)|MOAB Glue]] to support a defense for relatively low cost. Avoid towers that have little or no purpose without the functionalities of generating cash and/or lives, such as [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and [[Benjamin (BTD6)|Benjamin]], but don't ignore those that still are functional without them, such as [[Elite Sniper (BTD6)|Elite Sniper]] and [[Support Chinook (BTD6)|Support Chinook]].
 
Some beginner-friendly examples of strategies are [[Gwendolin (BTD6)|Gwendolin]] paired with [[The Tack Zone (BTD6)|The Tack Zone]] and [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]], [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]] with [[Avatar of Wrath (BTD6)|Avatar of Wrath]], and [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] with [[MOAB Assassin (BTD6)|MOAB Assassin]] spam. Besides Heroes, it's important to understand monkey synergies, like pairing a Berserker Brew Alchemist with relatively high attack speed towers with many projectiles such as [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]] Ninja or [[Armor Piercing Darts (BTD6)|Armor Piercing Darts]] Sub.
 
Earning the red CHIMPS badge is not too difficult, and sometimes is easier than Impoppable because there's less worry about accidental leaking due to Retry Last Round giving second chances for free. The real challenge is completing without Retry Last Round; always pre-plan a consistently working strategy for all stages of the game, especially on harder maps.
 
In general, it is advised to use the [[Sandbox (BTD6)|Sandbox]] gamemode to test strategies and avoid frustration by simulating though difficult rounds such as 63 and 98 with theoretical setups.
