Trivia
- Round 1 has a higher RBE than the level in which the Camo Bloon debuts.
- The final round in BTD4 (round 250) has an RBE of 2881116 or 999 BFBs.
- Apopalypse Mode in Bloons Tower Defense 4 and Bloons Tower Defense 5 have rounds, but there are no pauses in-between each one.
- The Red Bloon Equivalent is in the bank RBE.
- Round 65 had an update that added 2 B.F.Bs.
- Every Round introducing a new bloon type has a remarkably lower RBE than previous rounds, except round 35 introducing rainbow and round 26 introducing zebra.
- There is no longer any limit to how far the player can go in freeplay. The round 500 cap has been removed.
- In certain Daily Challenges, rounds of 1000+ can be reached.
- Rounds 63 and 78 are similar, due to the fact that both contain grouped ceramic bloons. However, they have a big difference. Round 63 contains lead and ceramic, while 78 contains rainbow, ceramic and a BFB.
- Rounds 79 and 82 are extremely similar. There are less differences between rounds 79 and 82 then there are between 63 and 78. 79 has regen rainbow bloons and BFBs while 82 has regen camo rainbow bloons and BFBs. 79 has less BFBs than round 82, and more non MOAB class bloons than 82.
- You can get a temple without anything else but popping bloons NLL and not selling too much. However, it will have very little sacrifices.
