Unlimited Darts

Unlimited Darts

Unlimited Darts, also known as Unlimited Darts Mode, is a feature in Bloons and Bloons 2 that gives the player an infinite amount of darts. This can be optionally chosen on the menu at the bottom of the level. It helps a lot on some levels, but it is totally useless on others. The level will be marked as completed once the pop target is reached, but not once all on-screen bloons are popped.

Bloons 1

In the original Bloons, you can unlock levels in this mode. This also applies to Bloons World.

Bloons iOS

While not originally in Bloons iOS, Unlimited Darts would return in an update for Bloons iOS. Levels beaten with Unlimited Darts on would showcase a dart on the level, to indicate that it has not been beaten normally. This feature would also appear for its two lite versions.

Bloons 2

In Bloons 2, at the end, instead of showing a score, it says "No Pain, No Gain..." which means to get points you have to be in limited darts mode. This is similar to when the player uses a Super Monkey. The player can still unlock additional levels, but occasionally there will be a glitch that prevents them from unlocking certain zones.

Bloons 2 Mobile

While not implemented, there is an unused Unlimited Darts toggle in the spritesheets of Bloons 2 Mobile. It likely was not implemented due to poor commercial success not warranting development time of implementing this feature.

Trivia

• Occasionally, there is a glitch in Bloons 2 where if a zone is completed, the unlimited darts features disables by itself.
• This feature makes Bonus Dart Bloons absolutely useless, except in Bloons 2 games, since the queue for weapons changes upon popping them.
• The term "No Pain, No Gain..." is later used for the Bloons TD Battles 2 ruleset No Pain, No Gain.
