This game has two lite versions: '''''Bloons Lite''''' and '''''Bloons Lite+'''''. Both lite versions were released a few months after this game, and mechanically are the same, but lack the Golden Bloon minigame and the level editor, and only feature levels ported from the {{flash version of|Bloons}}, ''[[More Bloons]]'', and ''Even More Bloons'' instead of original levels. | This game has two lite versions: '''''Bloons Lite''''' and '''''Bloons Lite+'''''.

The Golden Bloon makes its first appearance in ''Bloons iOS'', where it bears very little similarity with its appearance in later games. The Golden Bloon minigame involves popping bloons by tapping them to rack up points, with a 60 second time limit. Bloons fill up the screen in an 8x4 pattern and cannot occupy a space held by another bloon, so the screen will eventually fill up if the player does not pop any bloons. Popping a bloon of the same color earns progress towards a combo, awarding points equivalent with the amount of bloons squared once the combo expires. Combos expire when the player pops a different color bloon or if 3 seconds pass without popping any bloon. If the player does not start a combo, the bloon awards a singular point. The golden bloon itself appears every few seconds, can spawn beneath another bloon, but will vanish after 2 seconds. Popping the golden bloon will end any combo and award 101 points for popping it. The high score is saved locally, letting the player compare their score with their previous best. | The Golden Bloon makes its first appearance in ''Bloons iOS'', where it bears very little similarity with its appearance in later games.
