Bloons Supermonkey (series): Difference between revisions

The series consists of [[Bloons Super Monkey|two]] [[Bloons Super Monkey 2 (Flash)|Flash]] games and a [[Bloons Supermonkey 2 (mobile)|3D remake of the second game]] for mobile devices.

== Gameplay ==

The ''Bloons Supermonkey'' series are top-down vertically scrolling shooters. The player controls the movement of a Super Monkey that automatically fires his weapons. The goal is to pop several waves of Bloons. In ''Bloons Supermonkey 2'', as the game progresses, stronger Bloons with resistances to certain kinds of weaponry start appearing more frequently. Both games have [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class]] fights – ''Bloons Super Monkey'' features the [[MOAB]] and [[BFB]], while ''Bloons Supermonkey 2'' contains conventional MOABs and [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]] that spawn additional Bloons and, in the mobile version, inflict debuffs on Super Monkey. If a Boss Bloon escapes a level, the level is lost.

Bloons drop Blops that can be used to buy upgrades for Super Monkey's weapons, either via the pause screen (for the Flash titles) or the lab menu outside of a level (for the mobile remake). Each game has a powerup system where popping Bloons also occasionally triggers a random effect that benefits Super Monkey.

The goal of the game is to beat all fifteen levels with at least a Bronze trophy in the first fourteen. Not meeting these requirements results in a game over, while beating the game leads to a score screen influenced by the rank of the trophies earned per level.

=== ''Bloons Supermonkey 2'' ===

''Bloons Supermonkey 2'' is a title shared by a browser-based Flash version and an expanded mobile version with 3D graphics. Both are free-to-play, though the mobile version used to be a paid app.

==== Mobile ====

Blops are reinstated as the currency and are now separated into Red and Blue colors, Red being used to buy weapon upgrades and Blue being used for research and buying skins. Red Blops are primarily earned by popping previously unpopped Bloons, while Blue Blops are earned by revisiting levels and popping Bloons that were previously popped.

The remake introduces [[Ally (BSM2)|Allies]], replacing Ultimate Monkeys, which are characters that assist Super Monkey in popping Bloons, and [[Powerup (BSM2 mobile)|Powerups]] that replace Special Powers, which are up to two special passive or [[Activated Ability|Activated abilities]] equipped just before starting a level. Boss Bloons can now debuff Super Monkey with Blop-like projectiles, while [[Shielded Bloon|Shielded Bloons]] physically prevent Super Monkey and his darts from flying through Bloons with the modifier.
