Throughout the series, there have generally been three "main" selections of placeable:

* Monkey Glue, which slows down Bloons floating over it before expiring.

While on-track placeables aren't their own category in ''Bloons TD Battles'' or [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']], the concept remains through select [[Power|Powers]] in ''6'' and the [[Bloons TD Battles (mobile)|mobile version of ''Battles'']] or items present in [[Geraldo's Shop]] from ''6'' derived from the ~~item~~ archetypes.

'''Exploding Pineapples''' (or just '''Pineapples''') were introduced in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']]. They are, as the name indicates, completely normal pineapples that proceed to display a red countdown before exploding in a small area after three seconds, as pineapples ~~usually~~ do.

They are, as the name indicates, completely normal pineapples that proceed to display a red countdown before exploding in a small area after three seconds, as pineapples are known to do.

Starting from ''Bloons TD 4'', the ability to drop Explosive Pineapples has been an upgrade for the [[Monkey Ace]] tower. In fact, this upgrade is the only appearance the Pineapple has made in the ''Bloons TD 6'' generation aside from being equipable as an Uncommon [[Weapon (BATTD)|Weapon]] in ''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]''. In ''Bloons Monkey City'', the [[Pineapple Stand]] grants the player 5 pineapples per Stand.
