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. | The ''Bloons Supermonkey'' series are top-down vertically scrolling shooters.

The goal of the game is to beat all fifteen levels with at least a Bronze trophy in the first fourteen.
