The path starts at the top going down, loops three times anticlockwise around the center of the map, and exits at the bottom. The dried river to the left of the path has small puddles of water for water towers and allows land towers to be placed on the dried land and bridges, but not on the riverbanks. The gold crystal clusters and the tent in the top-left block placement and line of sight.
Crystals
This map features six gold crystal clusters that take 10 rounds to remove, except the one in the bottom-right corner, which takes 20 rounds. They earn the same amount of cash on all modes and difficulty levels, even in CHIMPS and Deflation. Visually, a monkey resembling a Bloontonium Miner appears and mines the crystals while it is being removed.

Pre-release
This map was first revealed during the update preview notes of version 51.0:
“
New Beginner Freeplay Challenge Map, Three Mines ‘Round!
One of the most popular freeplay maps of all time from Bloons TD5 is being re-imagined in BTD6 style!
This isn’t a revenge map, no if anything it’s a de-venge map. Ever wanted to get a Paragon in CHIMPS, but you just haven’t quite been able to save up the cash? Well spend enough spare time between Bloon pops mining for gold and you just might get the chance now, make sure to clear those obstacles out of the way! — Update preview for version 51.0[1]

Early version of the map
In the early access videos, Ethan Reid received a different build of the game compared to the rest of content creators and, along with an earlier name for the Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker, it showcased an earlier version of the map where the most notable differences are that the map is apparently played during the night leading to a darker lightning with brighter spots around the lamps and the campfire, and the mining cost of most crystals is shuffled around (with the same return according to the cost).

Trivia
The crystals are referred to as gold in the update notes for version 51.0 on Reddit and store pages. However, these crystals are referred to as "Bananite" internally[fn 1] and is also reflected in the in-game update notes for version 51.0.
