'''Alternate Bloons Rounds'''{{fn|Also parsed "Alternate Bloon Rounds".}} (often abbreviated as '''ABR''') is a game mode in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. In standard play, it is played on [[Hard]] difficulty. This mode redesigns the first 140 [[round]]s to be much more difficult, generally by introducing strong Bloon types earlier and having more rounds with [[Bloon Mod]]s such as [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s. After round 140, the game changes to [[freeplay (BTD6)|freeplay]] round generation with no alterations. Since the mode is normally played on Hard difficulty, rounds 1 and 2 are skipped by default and the player wins after completing round 80; rounds 81-140 are optional and rounds 1 and 2 can only be seen in other modes such as the [[Challenge Editor]].

~~Some rounds intentionally spawn less bloons than Standard Rounds to give less cash. Here are the examples until Round 100.~~

~~Round 21: Yellows are ranked down to Reds, and Pinks are ranked down to Blues.~~

~~Round 24: Single Camo Lead spawns instead of a Camo Green and some Blue Bloons.~~

~~Round 33: Camo Yellows are ranked down to Camo Blues.~~

Round 54: Ceramics are ranked down to Blacks, and the second MOAB is now a BFB. Since there were 35 Ceramics in Standard Round 54 and a BFB only contains 16 Ceramics, this change effectively reduces the cash earning from bloons.

~~Round 74: Regular Ceramics at the beginning converted into Regrow Blacks, and Fortified Ceramics at the end are removed.~~

~~Round 78: Zebras instead of Rainbows, and the first Ceramic rush changed from 75 Ceramics to 60 Fortified Ceramics.~~

~~Round 83: 20 Fortified MOABs instead of 30 MOABs.~~

~~Round 88: Introduces first DDTs, but ZOMGs are removed.~~

~~Round 91: 15 Fortified BFBs instead of 20 BFBs.~~

~~Round 95: Camo Regrow Fortified Leads removed, Fortified MOAB counted reduced from 50 to 30.~~

Some rounds, like 76, in Alternate Bloons Rounds are considered easier than Standard Rounds. Round 76 in Standard Rounds contains several [[Regrow Bloon (BTD6)|Regrow]] [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramics]], but Round 76 in Alternate Bloons Rounds features several [[BFB (BTD6)|BFB]]<nowiki/>s. Despite Round 76 in ABR having a higher RBE, Round 76 in ABR can be easier with better MOAB-class damage.
