'''Gizmos''' are [[Map]] features in [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] which grant the player an option to activate it, and usually cost cash. They are similar to [[Removable|removables]], which cost money to permanently alter line-of-sight blockers or placeable areas on the map. Gizmos do not include map features which are activated without clicking a check-mark button, such as the crusher on [[Scrapyard]]. The cost of gizmos are affected by the Removable Cost Rate option in [[Challenge Editor]], and therefore can be disabled entirely in challenges, but is not affected by [[game difficulty]].

Their location and function varies. Many of them cost [[cash]] to activate, similar to [[removable]]s, and are not affected by the [[difficulty]]. Gizmos that cost cash are similarly affected by the Removable Cost Rate [[challenge rule]], and setting it to "disabled" also disables gizmos that do not cost cash.

[[Workshop (BTD6)|Workshop]] has two gizmos: One which enables track extensions to force Bloons to take a longer path, and one to slow down Bloons. Both gizmos start out free but increase in cost each time they are used.
