'''Monkey Star''' is a [[Perk]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants a [[buff]] to the first tower placed by a player (including [[Hero]]es and tower-based [[Power]]s<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/wpCBdWeeic|title=Is it purposeful or is it a bug?|quote=Yeah Powers can get the effect of Monkey Star as well.

In [[Co-op (BTD6)|Co-op]], only one tower can receive the buff.

Visually, ~~affected towers have increased~~ model ~~size~~, but does not affect flying units. ~~After being upgraded~~ or ~~buffed,~~ the ~~unit's model~~ size ~~will increase~~.

Visually, the Super Star has a much larger model, but it does not affect flying units. Upgrading or buffing the tower also increases the size.

There is a bug that causes Monkey Star to transfer to the next first tower after selling the Monkey Star and updating the game save.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/s/LMoPsXURfr</ref>

==Trivia==

*On maps that have no water by default, it is impossible to make ~~any~~ water-only tower the Super Star, ~~due~~ to ~~needing~~ another tower ~~that can support it~~ such as a {{BTD6|Portable Lake}}.

*On maps that have no water by default, it is impossible to make a water-only tower the Super Star, since the only way to create water is by placing another tower (such as a {{BTD6|Portable Lake}} or [[Lord of the Abyss]]) first.
