At first, the Monkey Beacon only buffs tower [[range]] by a small amount, but as it gets upgraded, it gains the ability to buff [[attack speed]] as well. In ''[[Bloons TD 4]]'', it also has an upgrade that grants towers the ability to target [[Camo Bloon (BTD4)|Camo Bloons]]. Its ultimate upgrade in both of its appearances is one that calls the [[Super Monkey Storm]], wiping every non-[[MOAB-Class Bloon]] off the screen for a somewhat hefty price (with a cooldown in ''BTD4'', making it a precursor to the [[Activated Ability]] mechanic). | |||
While the tower itself would be absent in future installments, the Super Monkey Storm would return for ''[[Bloons TD 5]]'' and ''[[Bloons TD 6|6]]'' as a [[Special Agent]] and [[Power]], respectively. ''Bloons TD 6'' features the [[Super Monkey Beacon]], a [[Power Pro]] variant of that game's Super Monkey Storm, which is a tower that has an updated Super Monkey Storm Activated Ability mechanic and a similar name to the Monkey Beacon. | |||
