| “ | Throws darts incredibly fast. Has long range and lots of insanely powerful upgrades. | ” |
| ~ BTD5 description |
The Super Monkey is a tower in Bloons TD 5, Bloons TD Battles, and Bloons Monkey City. It shoots projectiles very quickly, making it powerful but also quite an expensive tower to invest in. It is somewhat related to the Dart Monkey, as both throw darts, only at hypersonic speed. Despite being the most powerful tower, the Super Monkey cannot pop Lead Bloons or detect Camo Bloons without any aid from upgrades, towers, and/or its Speciality Building.

General differences between the Flash versions and the mobile, PC, and console versions[]
Jungle Drums can increase the attack speed of the Super Monkey.- Laser Blasts can destroy MOAB-Class Bloons faster than one upgraded to Plasma Blasts because the lasers register as two hits instead of one.
- Sunbeams from the Temple of the Monkey God have unlimited pierce regardless of sacrifices.
- A warning message will now always pop up whenever the player upgrades a Sun God to a Temple of the Monkey God (this helps reduce the number of unwanted Temples, allows the player to consider if they want to build a temple in the first place, and lowers the chance of a player accidentally sacrificing towers upon purchase).
- Footprint size will no longer increase upon being upgraded from Sun Gods to Temples of the Monkey God. Instead, the footprint remains the same as a normal Super Monkey footprint (like all its other upgrades).

Version history (Bloons TD Battles Mobile)[]
Outside of club arenas such as Mega Boosts and Bananza Mode, The Super Monkey is rarely used because it is too expensive and ineffective as an early-game tower (a 0/0 Super Monkey can't handle grouped Blue Bloons), due to poor lower-level upgrades and a lack of camo detection. Over the years, it has been given various buffs, the most significant of which is Version 4.6, decreasing the cost of the base tower and both of its range upgrades.
The only popular loadouts that utilize the Super Monkey is Ninja-Farm-Super (in Bananza), and Wizard-Farm-Super (also in Bananza).

Trivia[]
- In BTD5, the 3rd upgrade on either path for the Super Monkey makes him lose his cape.
- In BTD5, if the Robo-Monkey upgrade is bought before the laser or plasma upgrade, the Robo-Monkey will shoot regular darts out of both of its arms. However, these darts can pop lead bloons.
- Super Monkeys seem to have a little footprint but actually, its footprint is a bit larger. Placing another Super Monkey nearby seems to have a little gap with the first one.
- in the files of btd5 a "sidekick monkey" could be seen this could be interpreted as the super monkeys seen in the Super Monkey Fan Club's version of the super monkey instead of turning into super monkeys themselves
