'''Insta Monkeys''' (sometimes parsed '''Insta-Monkeys''' and often shortened to '''Instas''') are a game mechanic in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. They can be deployed in a game to place a tower with preset [[upgrade]]s, without costing any [[cash]]. Like [[Power#Bloons TD 6|Powers]], they cannot be used in [[CHIMPS|CHIMPS Mode]] or any ranked game modes.

'''Insta Monkeys''' (also written as '''Insta-Monkeys''' or simply '''Instas''') are a game mechanic in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. They are [[tower]]s with preset [[upgrade]]s that the player can deploy at any time without spending any [[cash]]. They are considered a type of [[Power#Bloons TD 6|Power]], and thus are not usable in modes where Powers are disabled, such as [[CHIMPS]] and ranked events.

===Completing rounds===
*Certain [[Daily Reward|Daily Rewards]] grant Insta Monkeys.
One Insta Monkey is earned for completing every 100<sup>th</sup> [[round]]. The tier of the Insta Monkey on round 100 depends on the [[map difficulty|difficulty]] of the map, while Insta Monkeys for rounds 200 and on are always tier 3 or tier 4.
*[[Daily Challenge (BTD6)|Daily Challenge]]s often grant Insta Monkeys as a completion reward.
*[[Beginner]]: Tiers 0-2
*[[Odyssey (BTD6)|Odyssey Events]] can reward Insta Monkeys upon completion.
*[[Intermediate]]: Tiers 1-3
 
*[[Advanced]]: Tiers 2-4
=== Completing rounds ===
*[[Expert]]: Tiers 3-4
One Insta Monkey is earned for completing every 100<sup>th</sup> [[round]]. The highest possible tier of the Insta Monkey on round 100 depends on the [[map difficulty|difficulty]] of the map, and each tier has a different weighting, while Insta Monkeys for rounds 200 and on use the same weighting regardless of difficulty. This works in any game mode unless it has the "No Round 100 Reward" [[challenge rule]] enabled or is played in [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]] or ''[[Rogue Legends]]''.


On [[Primary Only]], [[Military Only]], and [[Magic Monkeys Only]], the Insta Monkeys will always be towers of their corresponding [[tower category]]. There is no equivalent for [[Support]] towers.

=== Collection Chests ===
{{Main|Collection Event (BTD6)}}
During [[Collection Event (BTD6)|Collection Events]], players are able to open Collection Crates when they receive enough Collection Rewards, with better Crates being rewarded each time the player achieves a specific milestone in the number of Rewards. Collection Crates contain 2-3 Insta Monkeys each, with the type and quantity of Insta Monkey being random.
 
Before opening a crate, the player has the option to choose between four tower types, making the Crate contain only Insta Monkeys of that type. The four available options cycles over time, and each tower type can only be selected five times per cycle.

==Borders==
== Borders ==
On the Collection screen, borders are added around the towers' icons, similar to the [[map border]]s, once a certain set of Insta Monkeys for that tower have been collected. A gold border is added if the player has all Insta Monkeys for that tower up to tier 4, which is replaced with a black border if the player has all tier 5 Insta Monkeys as well.

== Notes ==
* Insta Monkeys without any upgrades bought on them will not sell for any cash.
* An Insta Monkey of a locked tower/upgrade can still be obtained and placed. However, Insta Monkeys of towers/upgrades restricted in the Challenge Editor<!--what about events like bosses?--> cannot be placed.
* Certain Insta Monkeys have special interactions:
** The [[Sun Temple (BTD6)|Sun Temple]] and [[True Sun God (BTD6)|True Sun God]] do not sacrifice towers when placed. They can also be placed in water.
** [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]] does not sacrifice towers, but it generates 10x $120 crates per round.
** [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handlers]] with top or bottom path upgrades can be placed in locations without the required terrain, but water/air beasts cannot be deployed, transfer or receive Beast Power, or be upgraded on that path until their respective terrains appear within range.
