Endless Mine (also referred to as Endless Mode) is a feature in the mobile version of Bloons Supermonkey 2, introduced in version 1.1 and unlocked after completing level 11. It is a competitive mode where players participate in weekly challenges to achieve high scores and place on a leaderboard. Each challenge consists of an endless level broken into multiple stages, with restrictions on what monkeys and weapons players can use. Unlike in regular gameplay, the player has a limited number of lives, which are lost whenever Bloons escape, ending the game if the player runs out. Additionally, popping Bloons consecutively without leaking any builds a score multiplier. At the end of each week (Wednesday at 12:00 PM UTC), the challenges rotate and participants in the previous rotation are rewarded with supercrates containing blops and powerups, the amount depending on their rankings in each challenge's leaderboard.

Overview

Endless Mine has three challenges each week. Each challenge consists of an endless sequence of levels split into three sections. Each section consists of multiple layouts chosen at random from a pool of pre-defined level designs. The player earns points by popping Bloons, which can be multiplied by popping enough Bloons in a row without leaking. Each section has one Mystery Bloon and one Bloon containing a Powerup crate. At the end of each level, all crates the player collected are opened and the player can choose a new set of powerups; powerups do not carry over between levels.

Unlike in normal levels, the player has 150 lives (replacing the Bloptonite meter). If a Bloon leaks, the player loses lives equal to its RBE. If the player loses all lives, the level ends and all unopened crates are lost. When replaying a challenge, all Red Blops are replaced with Blue Blops as normal, but they reset with each rotation.

There are two Bonus Powers that can only appear in this mode: First Aid, which adds 50 lives (capped at 200 lives), and Invincibility, which prevents lives from being lost and the score multiplier from resetting when Bloons leak for 30 seconds.

Score multipliers

Popping Bloons without leaking builds up a multiplier that increases the number of points earned from popping Bloons. The multiplier resets whenever a Bloon leaks.
