How Far Can You Get Using Only Dart Monkeys?

[@MackanRules]

What tower would get the farthest in this challenge?

[@mixedmoods8231]

Banana farm 100%

[@mariocrafter06]

probably boat ace super or ninja because of paragons/vtsg

[@Frosted_cheese]

For rhe towers without any camo or lead popping r u going to use an MIB?? I think ninja will go far!!

[@ImWorldwideLevel]

Village🗣️🗣️

[@cool_gamer2824]

Boat, can make money, get paragon and has good t5s anyway

[@Ratswithnointentions]

To put this simply, the reason the cape was disabled is because super monkeys were disabled. This is mainly to stop primary only cheese, but it also means that you can't use them in the challenge editor.

[@jimmytaco6738]

He couldn't choose between a map for supermonkeys and a map for the paragon, so he went with a balance

Mackan: Only Dart Monkeys Also Mackan: Why can't I get a super monkey?! xdd

[@MackanRules]

LOL :'D

[@halt1931]

not that it mattered, but you probably lost a chunk of money by spamming the 000 darts at the beginning instead of putting them down one at a time and upgrading them to tier 3-4 one at a time, because of the all together everybody MK that makes primary tower upgrades cheaper when all primary towers are t3 or 4. This also applies to the cost of the t5, though obviously once you buy a t5 you can't benefit anymore because not all primary towers are t3-4 anymore, but it still means you get a good discount on whatever t5 you go for first, as well as opening the possibility of saving cash on the t4 upgrades if you do the order right

[@gregoirebasseville4797]

And also wasting all your money on 000 darts then almost dying to the first lead was silly. Selling and rebuying wastes even more. Not even gonna talk about buying 14 SM fan clubs instead of saving or something.

[@blueyandicy]

​@@gregoirebasseville4797dude. that was like, 1500 dollars. he was not making it+1 round because of 1500 dollars dude

The worn hero cape only works when super is enabled. 5:21

[@rhodeislandballproductions8781]

I love how Mackan Rules can get to round 600 yet doesn’t understand simple concepts (like why he can’t use the hero’s cape)

[@asdzhmm4137]

You banned the super monkey. That's why you can't turn a dart monkey into a super monkey.

[@octi4684]

that's also why you can; t get it in prim only

I'm too lazy to test this right now, but I think that the cape didn't work because you have super monkeys disabled on the challenge, and it doesn't want you to cheese your way into getting super monkeys if the challenge doesn't want it.

[@Grimsleeper86]

This is correct, you also lose the team challenges like Dart/Heli/Mortar if you cape a dart into a Super. The game treats the cape as a super monkey.

[@GhostBoyX13]

I really like this video idea, this was extremely entertaining to watch! I hope you decide to try this with all monkeys (maybe you’ll have to use Etienne for monkeys that can’t see camo)

[@blueyandicy]

it's so interesting how someone can have so many hours and miss basic stuff like spots on balance or the worn cape limitation (it becomes very evident when doing oddesseys lol) interesting stuff

[@sooyster4033]

I think I'll sample your end of round noises for my ringtone

[@Graveskull]

Hedge could be a really good map for a mix between the paragon and others

[@Sir0blivion]

Would be fun to see thus one again with super monkey enabled. I wonder how much further a few transformed darts could get.

[@skylandermax16]

A series of this would be cool

[@leviathan8260]

I wonder how much farther you could go if you could use the top path village

[@TyroRNG]

Not much, given that paragons cannot be buffed (well perhaps boomerang paragon buff for 11.1% attack speed)

[@JDoggz]

Idk if this is it, but I think you can't use the hero's cape because the super monkey is banned, and you techically need the base tower to even buy its upgrades

[@aldenstromberg7273]

its kinda funny that this guy is so good at the game and knows so much but even i knew that the cape doesnt work when super is disabled

[@Free-4554]

I love how it's a dart only challenge on a map with large sight blockers, and choose not to block geraldo from the track😶

[@craigpetersen5263]

It's dart and heroes

[@josh-gu6zi]

Are you going to try this challenge with other towers? The Super monkey will need help to start

[@MackanRules]

Yeah i think i will do this with more towers! I think super should be fine since im going with a hero aswell! :)

[@subrcket2134]

you cant use the cape since you dont have super monkeys allowed im pretty sure@@MackanRules

[@srensen3081]

youd just have to use a hero that can be bought at the very start of the game

[@SPCooki34]

u should do how far can u get in BTD 5

[@halt1931]

could you have continued going if you sold the plasma fan club again? it was doing basically nothing while on cooldown, and selling it would have given your paragon +10% attack speed which might have been enough you could maybe have squeezed out some extra rounds if you had the PMFC ready to go, and when you encountered the "this is the last round" round, activated the ability and sold it, so you had the darts under its effect alongside the 10% bonus?

[@MackanRules]

That's a great idea, wish i had it! xd

[@tahaaltuntas7487]

[@Btd6permaspikes]

ERMMMM ACTUALLY🤓👆 GERALDO ATTACKED SO TECHNECLY ITS CLICK BAIT!

[@the-lilabro9697]

you cant use the hero's cape because you dont have supermonkey as a playable tower, since supermonkey isn't available, the cape supermonkey isn't either. To avoid this you can just not ban supermonkey, then u can use cape.

[@JoelTheParrot]

ooo large series potential plasma isn't bad when it's up but its lack of any buff without the ability makes them very extremist.

[@mousa33saleh57]

Ive done this challenge too and also got stuck on this round

[@bayecheek5987]

Not that it matters, but the blue screen probably happened about our problems on the driver looking at the error code

[@Elezshar]

is it possible to get dart paragon in chimps on a map that's good for it, like balance or encrypted?

[@TrueReshiram]

The hero's cape turns the dart into a super monkey so if Super is banned then the cape is banned too.

[@pichuyang3865]

This looks like very Awesome thing to try! Did not know they changed Paragon upgrade system too!

[@thebigbonk]

after watching this video 329001 times I can confirm this is indeed a certified MackanRules classic

I'd also allow you to buy 130 villages for future runs so monkeys like wizards monkeys don't lose immediately to purples.

[@buff_m0nke]

I havent fully watched yet but i WANT the dart monkey to get to atleast 300 cuz he my favorite

[@svensvensson2390]

Its nice to understand rage in a foreign language for once lmao

[@parkersondermeyer335]

Hedge would probably be the best map as it is the best for the dart paragon and has a lot more space for dart monkeys.

[@Slaking_]

Would be interesting to see a video on how far you could go in 4p co-op, with 4x the tier 5s it'd surely be a lot further/more efficient than in solo. Although the co-op lag would make it mega unplayable. Also I bet boat makes it the furthest, since it can actually econ for higher tiers plus the Navarch's hook lets it insta-kill BADS

[@MadMewMew-mu3eq]

Co-op would go less far than standard singleplayer easy freeplay simply because the only reason he lost was lag and co-op isn't exactly going to help that. It may help out in chimps tho.

[@VladIsLove22]

13:12 i think with Geraldo you can do degree 100, thats would’ve been much better

[@The-blackghost36]

im pretty sure the best map for dart paragon is hedge, it got the further on one of isab's videos

[@TheOrange3Juice]

With an asterisk* In that challenge he allowed selling and rebuying the paragon (infinite money).

[@The-blackghost36]

@@TheOrange3Juice it still got further than on his(isab) other tests

You have to have unlocked supermonkey to use cape

[@Candyskill]

Kinda funny how close it always is for you not to leak.

[@endorb]

I'm glad you chose to do this on Balance. Every challenge being on Resort, Cubism and Logs definitely gets monotonous. Also I feel like for consistnecy, the other towers you do this with should also be locked to Geraldo, even if there's a better hero (like Adora for super monkies)

[@srensen3081]

adora wont work for super monkeys either way, same with geraldo, you cant place those down af the start of the game

[@endorb]

@@srensen3081 You just have to be able to place them before you lose, even if you leak a few rounds. I do that a lot in my personal runs; doing the first couple rounds with no towers to save up for the thing I want to place fiirst

[@noahwulgaert293]

I would've played on hedge because the paragon is great on the map and it's good for other towers too

[@ETA_125]

I think the cape is blocked because the super monkey it self is blocked!

[@legendarytronic7774]

Imagine if he used bottom tier 4 village for free dart monkies every round?

Try again but allow supermonkeys but just dont place any so that you could use the worn hero cape from geraldo on the darts

WHATS GOOD MACKAN

[@dragonclaw4159]

Can you do a video late game where only one shots are used?

[@dragonclaw4159]

If you decide to go for this, you might want to check which towers actually have one shot capacity as there's multiple hidden one-shot towers.

[@swichedd]

Most oneshots do xtra damage to Bloons around it tho (like great white shark) but I guess it could work as a theme

[@dragonclaw4159]

@metroidfan717 That's the idea. As long as the tower has one-shot capability, it's fair game.

Bottom crosspath for juggernaut increases projectile lifespan resulting in more bounces which could make this crosspath superior for maps like balance. But further investigation is needed so people please leave a comment if you know if thats true🙏🏻

Mackan are you gonna allow villages or farms in one of these, i think it would be interesting to see how some of them deal with lead or camo. Also when you do the village you should give yourself enough money to buy a primary expertise instantly
