Can You Beat Bloons TD Series Without Monkeys? (No Monkeys Challenge)

It's Monkeys Vs. Bloons... or is it? While the vast majority of
towers are monkeys, there are a few towers like Tack Shooter
and Bomb Shooter that don't have a monkey controlling them. Can we beat every (numbered) Bloons Tower Defense game from 1 to 6 without monkeys?

Great video, buddy. I'll explain a bit more about how I decided to place the tack shooters: I put them on corners so that 7 of the 8 turrets are facing the path of the bloons. This maximizes efficiency. I theorized that when the tack seems to mysteriously travel through the bloon without popping it, that this is because the bloon wasn't in line with the turret. Either that or it's simply a glitch in the game lol. I'm glad to have helped out with this challenge :D

Heyo! I really loved this video! A few days ago, I had a great idea for a challenge: Can you beat Grow Castle with only summoning units? I was originally gonna suggest it to you, but I've tried it out and it became really easy after, like, wave 150 while being difficult-ish before that point. So, now I'm gonna suggest the *opposite* to you: Can you beat Grow Castle **without** summoning any units? I think it'll be an interesting run with a lot of difficulty, as the troops are a major part of the game (especially the golems). I'd love it if this became a video!
