Super Mode: Super Monkey Fan Club transforms it and around 10 other Dart Monkeys in its vicinity into Super Monkeys for 15 seconds.

BLOON TOWER DEFENSE 5 TOWERS UPGRADE
In BTD6, there's even a Tech Tree upgrade that makes the first Dart Monkey free to place.

Even in a session, it's also the cheapest Monkey available to buy. Starting Equipment: The first monkey you unlock in every game it appears in.The Ultra-Juggernaut then bursts into six more Juggernaut balls when reaching the edge of the screen. Juggernaut's spiked balls are several times the monkey's size. Spike Balls of Doom: The Spike-o-Pult launches large spiked balls that can pop up to 18 bloons.Siege Engines: Spike-o-Pult and Juggernaut have the monkey switch out their hand-thrown darts for a slower-firing catapult which launches giant spiked balls.Recursive Ammo: The Ultra-Juggernaut fires one Juggernaut ball which splits into six more.Pinball Projectile: Juggernaut shots can bounce off of walls that would block other projectiles.

On the other hand, the Spike-o-Pult can pop up to 18 bloons in one go, and the Juggernaut can pop up to 104. One-Hit Polykill: A Dart Monkey can upgrade to pop 2, then 4 bloons per shot if fired down a straight line.Multi Shot: Triple Shot allows the Dart Monkey to throw three darts at once.If you can afford the Paragon upgrade, the Apex Plasma Master, you get a rapid-firing tower that launches heavily-damaging projectiles that cover nearly the entire map. The Ultra-Juggernaut throws a gigantic spiked ball that can pierce through tons of Bloons and split into even more projectiles the Plasma Monkey Fan Club can transform other Dart Monkeys into powerful Super Monkeys with plasma vision temporarily and the universally useful Crossbow Master shoots giant armor piercing drill-bolts halfway across the map eight times a second for six damage with a ton of pierce, can see and hurt anything, and does massive fifty-damage hits more than once a second. The basic version throws a small dart a moderate distance about once a second for one damage. Magikarp Power: Because the power of the basic Dart Monkey is low, the difference between it and a fully upgraded version is immense.The Ultra-Juggernaut is nightmarishly strong in maps like Moon Landing and Cornfield because of all the obstacles the balls can bounce from.
BLOON TOWER DEFENSE 5 TOWERS UPDATE
While it's a niche utility for the most part, it's good for maps with a lot of obstacles, especially after an update that allows a bouncing spikeball to re-hit a Bloon. Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball: In BTD6, the Spike-o-pult and its upgrades throws spiky balls that can bounce around obstacles.Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Juggernaut deals five times the damage to Ceramic Bloons.This ability gets enhanced for the Crossbow Master Critical Hit: The Sharp Shooter upgrade in BTD6 causes one out of every few shots to deal much more damage.Composite Character: The Spike-o-Pult was one of the new towers in BTD3, but BTD4 fused it with the Dart Monkey due to their similarities and has remained one of its upgrade paths since then.Boring, but Practical: Cheap, simple, yet undoubtedly effective, with its upgrades surprisingly carrying over well into the lategame.Automatic Crossbow: Bottom path Dart Monkeys in 6 equip a fast-firing crossbow.All Your Powers Combined: The Dart Monkey Paragon, the Apex Plasma Master, rides a gigantic ballista crossbow which rapidly fires three plasma Ultra-Juggernaut balls, combining the attacks of the Ultra-Juggernaut, Plasma Monkey Fan Club, and Crossbow Master.The Crossbow Master wears a black one in 6.
