:The process by which a player completes a game without quitting and rejoining, using Continues, or using Retry Last Round.

:An [[upgrade]] that is bought with the intent to transition into another upgrade later in its path, due to being a weak or cost-ineffective upgrade by itself. Examples include [[Long Life Bananas]] (which transitions into [[Valuable Bananas]]), {{BTD6|Faster Swivel}} in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' (which transitions into {{BTD6|Powerful Darts}}), and {{BTD6|Long Life Spikes}} and {{BTD6|Deadly Spikes}} in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' (which transitions into {{BTD6|Perma-Spike}}).

;{{anchor|True expert|True expert}}

:An [[Expert]] map in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'' that is considerably more difficult than the majority of Expert maps in the game, akin to [[Extreme]] maps in previous games. There is no consensus of what maps are considered true expert, but [[Ouch|#Ouch]], [[Quad]], [[Ravine]], and [[Bloody Puddles]] are usually included, and [[Muddy Puddles]] and [[Dark Dungeons]] are infrequently included as well.
