This map features six rocks with Bananite crystals that take 10 rounds to remove, except the one in the bottom-right corner, which takes 20 rounds. They earn the same amount of cash on all modes and difficulty levels, even in [[CHIMPS]], [[Half Cash]], and [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]]. Visually, a monkey resembling a [[Bloontonium Miner]] appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed. | This map features six rocks with Bananite crystals that take 10 rounds to remove, except the one in the bottom-right corner, which takes 20 rounds.

Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop | {{BTD6 last updated|55.1|section=y}} | ||
Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 opportunities to target Bloons. While the coverage at the middle of the big loop is tempting, this location can be prone to chasing unless the tower has an area-of-effect (such as a range-buffed [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]]). Instead, some of the optimal spots are near the parts of the lane that intersect. | |||
This map can be beaten with general strategies listed here. | |||
{{BTD6 basic map strategies}} | {{BTD6 basic map strategies}} | ||
The cheapest crystal is almost always worth harvesting, as it is more cost-efficient than early {{BTD6|Banana Farm}}s on Medium. Outside of CHIMPS, Deflation and Half Cash, though, the other crystals are not as efficient as traditional farming methods (even on Impoppable), and generally should only be removed if the space or open sight lines are needed. The last crystal especially is too expensive and leaves the player in a deficit for too long to be worth it outside of CHIMPS challenge runs, and it's the only crystal that does not provide extra land. It is generally better to invest in some crystals during easy rounds and ignore the more expensive crystals. | |||
