'''Spike-o-pults''' (also formatted as '''Spike-O-Pults''' or '''Spike-o-Pults''') are [[Monkey|monkeys]] that use catapults that launch spiked balls to pop [[Bloon|Bloons]]. They were introduced in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']].


'''Spike-o-pults''' (also formatted as '''Spike-O-Pults''' or '''Spike-o-Pults''') are [[Monkey|monkeys]] that use a catapult launching a spiked ball to pop [[Bloon|Bloons]]. They were introduced in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']].
While the ''BTD3'' iteration of the Spike-o-pult was its own [[tower]], it became an [[upgrade]] of the [[Dart Monkey]] starting in ''[[Bloons TD 4]]''. Other games outside of the {{series|Bloons TD}} also treat it as a type of Dart Monkey.
 
While their ''Bloons TD 3'' iteration was its own [[tower]], they have been downgraded to an [[upgrade]] for the [[Dart Monkey]] in every mainline ''Bloons TD'' game since, alongside their [[Juggernaut]] upgrade from ''3''.

In [[Bloons Adventure Time TD|''Bloons Adventure Time TD'']], the Spike-o-pult is represented through the [[Minipults]], an Uncommon [[Ally (BATTD)|ally]] exclusively equippable by the Spike-o-pult-themed [[Juggernaut Max (BATTD)|Juggernaut Max]]. They function largely similarly, though are smaller in size compared to their prior incarnations.

In [[Bloons Supermonkey 2|''Bloons Supermonkey 2'']], the spiked projectiles launched by the Spike-o-pult can be obtained as a tier 6 [[Dart (BSM2)|Dart]] [[Weapon (BSM2)|weapon]] in both the arms and the core. The arms fire in a straight direction, while the core fires a radial attack in eight directions.

*The Spike-o-pult appears to be based on the [[Spikey Ball Bloon]] from ''[[Bloons (game)|Bloons]]'', which similarly spawns a spiked ball that can pop a lot of Bloons in a row.
*In ''[[Bloons Adventure Time TD]]'', the [[Minipults]] look are an Uncommon [[Ally (BATTD)|ally]] that look and function very similarly to Spike-o-pults, albeit smaller. They are exclusively equippable by the Spike-o-pult-themed [[Juggernaut Max (BATTD)|Juggernaut Max]].
*The [[Mega Dart Monkey]] and the [[Spiked Ball Storm]] [[Powerup (Bloons Pop!)|Powerup]]s in ''[[Bloons Pop!]]'' use spiked balls similar to those of Spike-o-pults.
