Questions from the comments:

What happened to all the Mini MOABs and other special MOAB-class bloons in BSM2? Super Monkey appears to have held them off… for now. But yes, we do think about them, too!
Where can I buy a cape like Adora's? Your local Renaissance faire is likely to have some excellent options!
Have crosspathing benefits been considered for the Beast Handlers (beyond just having that extra T2 beast)? As it stands, it's the one tower where crosspathing is usually not worth the cost. The benefit to cross-pathing Beast Handlers is being able to merge those cross-paths into other Handlers to juice them up or to just hang out with more than one Beast at a time!
What do the monkeys do with the real-world money spent in-game? Do they convert it or use it on human things? We suspect it was confusing to them at first, but they seem to have adapted and use it like we might. Mostly they go to the movies or the arcade, maybe some bowling too. And banana cake, sales are through the roof!
How do the bloons react when they find out that a new monkey has ascended to paragon status? (how will they react when the wizard paragon comes) Hopefully, by being terrified of the power that is to be unleashed upon them. But it is a fair question if there is any information that leaks back, if there are no witnesses…bwaahahahaha!
Has the engineer monkey or other monkeys ever convinced Etienne to have other weapons on his drones? Etienne is very protective of his drones, he has crafted them for excellent balance and control. As much as the engineer's ideas sound fun and amazing, he doesn’t want to mess with his perfection!
Do the monkeys celebrate birthdays? You bet they do! Keep an eye on our socials in the coming weeks to see what they are up to!
How do the heroes react when they see a spider in the house? Most of them are pretty calm and let it go about its business. Obyns always wondering if that was Steve or Tom?!?!
Bloons Pop told us that Striker Jones likes to bake so I'd like to ask what his favorite pastries to bake are! Pain au chocolat or a classic apple pie!
Are there other monkey clerics out there besides Adora? If so, are they all devoted to the sun god or are there other deities they align with? We’re pretty sure Ezili is not a sun god acolyte. Is scary-dark-cosmos a deity?
How does Gwen feel about hockey? She hasn’t played it herself but she really enjoys full contact sport! Watch out for her on the roller-derby track.
What is the recipe for the post-battle banana cake and who cooks it? Every monkey has their own tweaks and secrets they like to add! Here is one of our favourties! https://ninja.kiwi/Banana-Bread
What happens to the super monkey after he transforms into the tech terror? does he lose his personality or mind? It does look like a complete transformation after Robo Monkey but we’re not entirely sure. It could still be a suit or fancy adaptive metal, or it could just be a full suit as that would be needed to withstand the power that comes from the Annihilation. Either way we think they retain control of their faculties as they are still able to target effectively and work so well with their Monkey friends.
what is blons about? is it simply an obscure map that monkeys made soley for testing or is it something more?

Key New Features

• New Paragon - The Magus Perfectus! (loves casting spells) Some of you know we teased this last year, but we needed more time to balance the art and design required to make this extra special, so we are very pleased to get this live! Wizard Monkey’s Paragon is designed to be a higher level strategic Paragon with powerful ability usage similar to the Doomship.
  • The core of the Magus is a toggle to and from a Draining Beam which deals very small single target damage but absorbs graveyard mana as it damages and destroys Bloons
  • While toggled off from the Drain Beam, Magus attacks with a powerful Arcane Spike that deals massive damage to MOABs and revives Bloons it slays, while a Dark Phoenix circles overhead attacking with Firebomb breath and a radial fireball attack
  • Phoenix Explosion Ability: can be cast to consume the Paragon’s entire graveyard to set all Bloons on screen on fire for 30 seconds and summon one Zombie ZOMG for every 9000 graveyard mana consumed
  • Arcane Metamorphosis Ability: can be used to consume all graveyard mana and transform the Magus briefly into an alternate form which decimates everything with a flame cascade attack; Metamorphosis lasts longer the more mana it consumes
  • Magus was designed for armchair play so it will fill and consume graveyard mana on its own, but our goal was to create more actively controlled Paragon for those who will enjoy microing between Beam on and off and choosing which awesome Ability to unleash and when

New Awesome

• New Hero Skin - Jiangshi Sauda, a fun new cross-cultural look for Sauda brainstormed by the art team, mixing inspirations from a favorite show and Chinese folklore
• New Map - Erosion
  • Community designed advanced map Erosion by “I am not an artist” ~ u/TheWiseTroll
  • TheWiseTroll’s original concept proposed land and water but when thinking about map colors and the little stories we think of behind each map, the concept of the polar bear walking back with the shrinking ice was too compelling to do anything else
• New Quests
  • Birthday Party - Pop the Party Bloon as many times as you can before it escapes
  • Blade Sauda Nowhere - Try out Sauda and learn some of her skills
  • Patch’s Cheap Chimps Challenge - Beat Logs with as little cash spent as you can

• Least Cash and Least Tier Boss Events
  • We’ve heard feedback about and have been wanting to shake up Boss rules, so here we go!
  • Applying new victory conditions to Boss Events completely changes the focus while still needing the damage output and type to handle each Boss
  • Time still matters, as the secondary time score will break any ties
• New Trophy Store Items
  • Heroes: Geraldo Pack Mule pet, Quincy Spec Ops Drop In placement
  • Monkeys: Sweden Village Flag
  • Bloons: Party Hat Bloons
