'''Footprint''' is the ~~amount~~ of space that a [[tower]] ~~uses~~ when placed in a [[map]]~~. In~~ the ~~[[Bloons TD (~~series)|''Bloons TD~~'']] games, this game mechanic~~ can ~~limit the type, amount and location of~~ towers ~~that the player can use as part of the~~ [[map ~~difficulty~~]]~~, where easier~~ maps ~~usually~~ have more open spaces ~~to place either~~ larger or higher amount of towers~~, and difficult map~~ can ~~restrict them, even to the point where~~ certain towers ~~cannot be used~~ at all.

'''Footprint''' is the area of space that a [[tower]] occupies when placed in a [[map]] in the {{series|Bloons TD}}. A tower can only be placed if its footprint does not overlap any other towers' footprints or [[terrain (map mechanic)|terrain]] the tower cannot be placed on. A footprint is usually either a circle (defined by a radius) or a rectangle (represented by height and width). Easier maps tend to have more open spaces for placing larger or higher amounts of towers, while harder maps often limit the amount of space that towers can be placed on (sometimes preventing certain towers from being usable at all).

When ~~purchasing~~ a new tower, the player must make sure to have enough open space to place it beforehand, as a new tower cannot override ~~the one~~ that is ~~previously placed, in this case, players~~ can remove the towers that use the desired space, usually by selling them.

When placing a new tower, the player must make sure to have enough open space to place it beforehand, as a new tower cannot override area that is already occupied. Players can remove the towers that use the desired space, usually by selling them.

In ''[[Bloons Tower Defense]]'', ''[[Bloons Tower Defense 2]]'', and ''[[Bloons Tower Defense 3]]'', each tower has an invisible shape object (internally referred to as a <code>hitbit</code>) that determines its collision detection.

Some maps can have areas where players can place towers where they visually wouldn't fit (e.g. the altar in [[Encrypted]]) and in the other hand, there are also places where towers that can fit are restricted, for example, [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] cannot be placed in on the top right section of [[Erosion]], but [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farms]] can despite having a larger footprint.
