Muddy Puddles ~~was impossible on CHIMPS prior to [[Bloons TD 6 v9.0|version 9.0]], due to how the Bloons' spawn point jumped from the rightmost lane to the leftmost lane made the~~ early game ~~impossible. As~~ of ~~now~~, the early game is ~~still by far the hardest part of this map~~, ~~but~~ the mid-game and late-game have been made easier by the large amount of buffs given to most towers in the game. A large variety of strategies is possible to defeat the late-game of Muddy Puddles, making it no longer considered True Expert by consensus.

Muddy Puddles has very difficult early game because of the alternating lanes, requiring precise placement of towers that can cover multiple lanes at once. This also delays the purchase of Heroes until a solid early game carry is purchased. However, the mid-game and late-game have been made much easier by the large amount of buffs given to most towers in the game. A large variety of strategies is possible to defeat the late-game of Muddy Puddles, making it no longer considered True Expert by consensus. Its lack of simultaneous lanes allows most long-ranged strategies to excel on this map.

In the lategame, the first lane is the least difficult in the lategame, as only rounds 91 and 97 are the significant rounds by then. Focus most of the local-ranged setup around the second and third lanes, and note Round 100 on fourth lane.

|The ~~heli pilot~~ shines on single lanes like Muddy Puddles, and a buffed Comanche Commander is a solid win-condition here. [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]] and [[Glue Storm (BTD6)|Glue Storm]] pair well with Commander, with the former giving it much-needed pierce and the latter granting both solid debuffs and DDT-popping power. [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] can substitute for Glue Storm's role, as MIB also allows Commander to pop DDTs and both the 50% attack speed and 50% pierce are important for dense rounds such as 98.

|Monkey Subs are one of the best early game options on Muddy Puddles due to being a powerful tower for cheap. [[Advanced Intel (BTD6)|Advanced Intel]] can be used to grant global range, and [[Twin Guns (BTD6)|Twin Guns]], [[Airburst Darts (BTD6)|Airburst Darts]], and [[Triple Guns (BTD6)|Triple Guns]] are very strong for their price. Early-game Subs can be later upgraded to a [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike Capability]] for the BAD, or used for a [[Sub Commander (BTD6)|Sub Commander]] strategy.

|[[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handler]]

|[[File:BTD6 000-BeastHandler.png|54x54px]]

|Beast Handlers are able to bypass the main difficulty factor of the map since it gains intel from merging. Several Tier 1 Beast Handlers are able to save into an [[Adasaurus]], which is an excellent early game since it can be repositioned anywhere on the map in a pinch. It also saves into the [[Velociraptor]], which is one of the best mid game carries on this map for the same reasons.

==Trivia==

*Muddy Puddles was impossible to complete on CHIMPS at launch. The change to the order of paths in [[Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 9.0|version 9.0]] made it possible for the first time.

**Rohan Spibo, a developer for ''BTD6'', had initially proposed a jetpack Hero to address the impossibility of Muddy Puddles at the time of the game's release. This concept had since been scrapped, but was eventually retooled into [[Rosalia (BTD6)|Rosalia]].
