Conceived by community players, it is not part of the game itself, but is an extrinsic way for a player to increase the difficulty of a game. It may ~~apply to~~ any game mode.

In ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', [[CHIMPS]] mode functions similarly to NAPSFRILLS, though it is a proper feature of the game rather than an extrinsic challenge. Additionally, the achievement [[Nah, I'd Win]] requires completing the harder version of [[Spa Pits]] using self-imposed restrictions similar to NAPSFRILLS, as ~~stated~~ in the achievement's description.

*[[Double Cash Mode (BTD5)|Double Cash Mode]] in ''[[Bloons TD 5 Deluxe]]'', where it is not treated as a Premium Upgrade

*Injections and continues in ''Deluxe'', the {{mobile version|Bloons TD 5}}, and the {{console version|Bloons TD 5}}, where they are not treated as premium purchases

These restrictions effectively limit the player to only using towers, upgrades, and (outside of NAPSFRILLS) Road Spikes and Pineapples.

The player may play in NAPS or NAPSFRILLS with some restrictions lifted to create an easier variant of the challenge, ~~usually~~ denoted by removing the appropriate letters from the acronym. For example, "NAPFRILLS" is the same as NAPSFRILLS, except with Specialty Buildings allowed.
