'''Insta Monkeys''' (also known as '''Insta-Monkeys''' or '''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]] 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.

*Certain [[Daily Reward|Daily Rewards]] grant Insta Monkeys.
*[[Daily Challenge (BTD6)|Daily Challenge]]s often grant Insta Monkeys as a completion reward.
*[[Odyssey (BTD6)|Odyssey Events]] can reward Insta Monkeys upon completion.


=== Daily rewards ===
=== Completing rounds ===
A couple of [[Daily Reward|Daily Rewards]] grant Insta Monkeys.  
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]]''.


=== Daily Challenge ===
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.
Daily challenges often grant Insta Monkeys as a completion reward.

=== Completing rounds ===
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.
*[[Beginner]]: Tiers 0-2
*[[Intermediate]]: Tiers 1-3
*[[Advanced]]: Tiers 2-4
*[[Expert]]: Tiers 3-4
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.
Note that every gamemode will grant an Insta Monkey unless the stage has the "No Round 100 Reward" [[Challenge rule]] enabled or the stage was done in [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]].

* 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 almost anywhere on the map, including water, the track, and areas without solid land. However, they cannot be placed on other towers or on areas containing two different heights (e. g. the wheelbarrow on [[In The Loop]]).
** 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.
*** [[Sanctuary]] is a good example of this, allowing their placements ''anywhere'' on the map.
** [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]] does not sacrifice towers, but it generates 10x $120 crates per round.
** [[Monkeyopolis (BTD6)|Monkeyopolis]] does not sacrifice towers, but it generates 10x $120 crates per round.
** [[Beast Handler (BTD6)|Beast Handlers]] with '''Path 1''' and/or '''Path 3''' upgrades can be placed in locations without water and/or track. Their water/air beasts cannot be deployed, transfer or receive Beast Power, or be upgraded on that path until their respective terrains appear within range.
** [[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.
*Insta Monkeys of towers that aren't yet unlocked can be earned. However, in standard gameplay,<!--I assume rogue legends allows you to use all upgrade paths?--> placing it is pointless, as it will not generate XP for that tower.
