The Super Monkey Storm is a gameplay element of the Bloons TD series, first introduced in Bloons Tower Defense 3 as a secret precursor to the Activated Ability mechanic of later games. It is a squadron of Super Monkeys that deals a sizable amount of damage to all Bloons onscreen, completely wiping most normal Bloons out, but usually doing lessened damage to MOAB-Class Bloons.
While never a proper tower, the Super Monkey Storm has appeared in some form in all mainline games since then, additionally appearing in spinoffs such as Bloons Pop! and Bloons Card Storm.
Gameplay
The Super Monkey Storm instantly deals damage often numbering in the thousands upon deployment, though once it is used it does not come back in most games. It usually does not require cash to deploy.
In Bloons Tower Defense 3 and 4, access to the Super Monkey Storm is the final upgrade to the Monkey Beacon tower, which costs an expensive amount of cash every time the upgrade is bought but the ability can be used multiple times as long as the player has cash. In Bloons TD 4, the upgrade has a 30-second cooldown between purchases.
In Bloons TD 5, the Super Monkey Storm is a Special Agent that costs 
50 per Storm and does not have a cooldown between uses beyond the Storm sequence itself. It has a Pro variant that deploys a second Super Monkey Storm after a short delay.
In Bloons TD 6, it appears as a Power, costing 
100 per Storm. It has an exclusive Monkey Knowledge, 
Powerful Monkey Storm, which increases its damage to 5,000. It has a Power Pro variant, the Super Monkey Beacon, which costs 400 and is a proper tower where a weaker Super Monkey Storm is an Activated Ability. It can be upgraded to improve the Activated Ability or the tower itself.
In Bloons Adventure Time TD, it appears as part of an interactive prop on the Supermonkey Villa map. It costs $1,500 to deploy and has a 120-second cooldown between purchases.
While the Super Monkey Storm itself is absent from the mobile version of Bloons Supermonkey 2, the Supermonkey Fan Club powerup functions similarly, with a horde of Super Monkey fans flying past and destroying all Bloons they touch when activated.
The Super Monkey Storm is a Powerup that completely pops Green Bloons and below and deals heavy damage to all else. The Powerup is notable in that it has no stated weaknesses in the Bloonspedia.
The Super Monkey Storm is an Exotic Power card that deals 150 to all Bloons on the opponent's side. It costs 10 gold per card to deploy, but the damage is instant.
