Tricky Tracks is an Expert map in Bloons TD 6, to be introduced in version 52.0. It takes place in the interior of a train station where Bloons move over the train tracks.

This map's concept was created by VillainSeven & _XLGamer10 for the BTD6 7 Year Anniversary Map Competition held on /r/btd6, and it was selected as a winner along with Mushroom Grotto and Ship Capture. It was originally designed on the Map Editor and players can access it in the Content Browser using the code ZFHKXRA.

Layout

The map features four train tracks that cross the screen diagonally from the top right to the bottom left, but Bloons only use the top three tracks. On each track there will be two paths, one in the left where Bloons move from top right to bottom left, and one in the right in the opposite direction. The Bloons will move very quickly to the center of the track, where they slow down and stop for a brief moment before rushing towards the exit of their respective path.

Monklish translations

Multiple phrases in Monklish are present on the map, including:

• Monklish graffiti on the middle track spells out XLGamer10, and text on the blocked bottom track spells out "VillainSeven", the creators of the original map.
• The back wall also has monklish graffiti that translates to "ZOMG" and "ZJ was here."

One of the easier but less mechanically annoying Expert Maps, with a lot of strategies working well on this map. Coverage of the separated simultaneous lanes is important, with seeking towers with high range such as Archmage and range buffs such as Deadeye and Etienne being beneficial.

Recommended towers and upgrades

Name	Icon	Reasoning
Deadeye		During the mid-game, the Deadeye's range buffs are helpful on seeking or quick-attacking limited-range towers, since Aces and Helis are generally bad on this map due to the separated simultaneous lanes.
Archmage		Archmage combined with range buffs like Deadeye/Bounty Hunter and Monkey Village are recommended to seek Bloons across all three railroads, combined with The Bloon Solver with Primary Mentoring to clean up Super Ceramics and weaker blimps. 5-2-0 is still generally recommended despite the range bonus of 5-0-2, since range buffs cover 5-2-0's lack of range.
Etienne		Unlike on most maps, Etienne's range buff alone is enough to be important to warrant as a viable Hero option for this map, so towers with limited range can reach enough of the three railroads, especially going into late-game.
