Exploding Pineapple is the Monkey Ace's path 2 tier 1 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants Monkey Ace an additional attack, which drops an explosive pineapple on the map at the Monkey Ace's location. Pineapples explode after 2 seconds, dealing 1 damage with 20 pierce and an attack cooldown of 1.6 seconds. Pineapple explosions cannot damage Black Bloons. With 
Targeted Pineapples, pineapples are only dropped on the track instead of anywhere.
Additionally, explosives from its other upgrade paths are improved:
- MOAB Missiles of Fighter Plane and subsequent upgrades +2 pierce and increased blast radius, and their missiles drop pineapples.
- Bombs of Spectre and Flying Fortress have their pierce increased by +10 or +15 respectively, and +3 blast radius.

The pineapple attack is a cheap source of extra pierce, such as for Race Events with Ace starts, but its inconsistency due to the unreasonably long timer until exploding makes it incredibly inconsistent and problematic for cheap lead-popping. More often, it's bought for Spy Plane's innate camo detection, or supplement a niche to destroying dense groups for Spectre or Fighter Plane and above.

| “ | While Pineapples are never the star of the show, the amount of pierce they have is completely unnecessary for their usage window and has only led to balance problems for Bombing Run, specifically in races. This high amount of pierce has been more evenly spread through higher tiers & crosspath. — Update notes |
” |
Explosion: Base pierce decreased ― 40 → 20 - Note: Remains 40 for Ground Zero and Tsar Bomba
- 0-1-1, 0-1-2, 0-1-3, 0-1-4, 0-1-5
Pineapple/bomb explosions now gain +12 pierce from Sharper Darts
| “ | Monkey Ace was never intended to be a great starting tower and instead come into power at mid- and high-tier upgrades, but since the base tower feels lacking to new players (and some of us old timers) we decided to rework low tier power into the base tower. — Update notes |
” |
- Dart: Projectile size increased ― 2 → 3
- Base Monkey Ace attack cooldown reduced ― 2.1s → 1.68s

- 1-1-0, 2-1-0, 3-1-0, 4-1-0, 5-1-0
- Exploding Pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 1.6s → 1.2s
- Exploding Pineapple should no longer display the wrong number on every 2nd Pineapple (bug fix)
| “ | Monkey Ace has had an overall rework to a lot of different upgrades in order to highlight the x1x Exploding Pineapples upgrade as a buff to all explosives [...] — Update notes |
” |
- 3-1-0, 4-1-0, 5-1-0
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +4.5 units to the radius of the missile attack's explosion ― 30 → 34.5
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +2 pierce to the missile attack's explosion

- Exploding Pineapple now grants +15 pierce to the main attack's bombs
- Overall pierce reduced ― 60 → 45 (due to changes to the projectile's base pierce)
- Exploding Pineapple now grants +3 units to the radius of the main attack's bombs ― 20 → 23
| “ | More of a straight quality of life, Ace has gained a new special toggle button to allow it to turn back and fly in reverse on any selected flight pattern. — Update notes |
” |
- Reverse flight pattern added
| “ | Exploding pineapples gained a larger rate bonus from crosspathing than the main attack did to make up for its base rate being so poor, so we’re fixing that poor base rate while keeping the crosspath bonus the same. — Update notes |
” |
- Exploding Pineapple: reload rate reduced ― 2s → 1.7s
- Note: Bomber Ace and above are unchanged (1.7s)
- 1-1-0, 2-1-0, 3-1-0, 4-1-0, 5-1-0
- Pineapple reload rate reduced ― 1.2s → 1.275s
- Note: Rapid Fire's cooldown modifier changed from 0.6× to 0.75×
| “ | Minor catchup changes to some parts have fallen out of line slightly due to balance changes for other parts of the Ace. — Update notes |
” |
- Exploding pineapple: attack cooldown reduced ― 1.7s → 1.6s
- Note: Rapid Fire crosspath attack cooldown is reduced from 1.275s to 1.2s
| “ | The suggestion sounded cool? & Pineapple crosspath has always been really boring so some cool would be nice — Update notes |
” |
- 3-1-0, 4-1-0, 5-1-0
- Missile attack: The explosion now leaves a Exploding Pineapple in the ground, with the same stats as the regular drop
| “ | Pineapple radius is scaling up to match x3x Bomber Ace’s explosion size, since there are virtually no recorded instances of these actually hitting a Bloon yet (Fingers crossed!) — Update notes |
” |
- Exploding Pineapples: Explosion radius increased ― 25 units → 35 units
