Questions from the comments: 


Why don't the monkeys fill the places bloons have to pass through with their own strong helium to make the bloons drop out of the sky?
Well then all the monkeys would sound a bit funny and they wouldn’t be able to fight from laughing too hard! 

Are the other boss bloons from BMC coming to BTD6 as well? Will we see new boss bloons?
That’s a hard maybe. :) No news to share yet.

In Bloons pop where do the monkeys go after there done with there attacks and also when you merge a monkey what happens to the two monkeys
They go and get ready for next time they are called upon. And merging? Merging is a transformative process merely represented by two monkey icons, it’s not like one monkey eats another one.

Years later, will there be a way to play old challenges (and hopefully odysseys + boss events) in btd6, similar to btd5? I'm sure all the completionists would adore that
Maybe one day but it's not something we’ve planned and it may be a bit hard to implement because certain towers have had such drastic changes, they may not be possible anymore! 

Is it possible to do a boss bloon (including elite) without using powers and/or monkey knowledge?
Yes it is!

Will Bloons Pop get balance changes?
Yes! 

How does Churchill operate his tank because most tanks have a driver, gunner, loader and commander and yet Churchill is bye himself and driving as you can see when there is no bloons around and loading really quickly and shooter and aiming the turret while also using a machine gun?
You’ve seen monkeys use their feet right? Also, tail skillz.

Are BTD6's Monkey Team sets completely random or is there a bigger chance of some towers appearing ?
Totally random! (with some exceptions for totally pants combos)

will you guys add clans for games like btd6 btd5 mobile and bmc mobile?
Clans are a huge amount of work but they are really fun, so we do think there’s a possibility of that for BTD6, Pop, and Battles 2. But nothing guaranteed or planned there yet.

What’s your favorite bloon/MOAB class bloon?
DDT’s, they just look cool. 

Will you guys work on battles 2 for mobile after successfully launching and updating it or you already have that version being worked on aswell?
BTD Battles 2 will launch on Steam and mobile! :) 

So do monkeys have ANY form of aggressions against each other?
Not super often but occasionally they argue over minor things, like pineapple on pizza. 

Did Churchill make that sand sculpture ate the bottom of Resort? It looks like an SPG.
He spent a lot of time on it. 

What's the XXL trap monkey's shirt size?
XXL

Are you sure that Sav and Tarn are two different people? What if you've just been fooling us this whole time?
You have no proof. 

What Etienne does in his free time? And does Etienne have any friendship? It must be hard talking to a monkey that spends every hour controlling a drone
He loves going to fancy food tastings! He does, he doesn’t mind turning the drone off sometimes to hang out with friends. 

Can we please have confirmation that Pat is the softest character? (It’s for justice)
Yes!

If Nintendo asked to put Bloons in Smash, who would you guys choose to go?
Pat! He just seems like he’d fit in

Where do pheonixes come from? Do the wizards manifest them from thin air, or bring them in from somewhere else?
It’s magic (insert meme here)

Odd question but which hero is most likely to play Neopets?
Ezili 

Who is, in universe, the most powerful entity in the BTD world? The full powered, vengeful true sun god? Bloonarius or potentially superior bossses? The player? The NK Staff?
NK Staff! (I’m not biased at all.)

Asking for a friend, but any news on an SAS4/5 update? Cheers.
Not at this stage but we are actively working on a SAS4 update. We’ll share news on that when ready.

what happened to the super ice monkey and the storm monkey from bloons supermonkey 2? could they come back in other games?
No plans for it at the moment but we do love both of them!

What happens when you sell a Paragon?
The monkeys separate and head off home, just like normal! 

Does Churchill do something else besides watch anime in his spare time?
He also reads manga. 

If the monkeys can grow infinite money, how does that not cause inflation?
They are pretty good at deflation

Have a great weekend and happy gaming!
