I have been thinking a lot about something lately: Where would Bloons Adventure Time Tower Defense (BATTD) fit in the canon of the Adventure Time TV series? I am very aware of the possibility that BATTD may not be intended to be part of the Adventure Time canon. However, I still think that we should at least hypothesize where in the Adventure Time series would BATTD be if it were to be part of the canon timeline. Using the process of elimination, we can immediately deduce that BATTD would NOT be after the episode "Puhoy," in Season 5. for that is when Finn's right arm is replaced with a robotic prosthesis, and in BATTD Finn does not have such an implant. Neither would Seasons 6-10 be at all a plausible place in the canon as we begin seeing radical changes in character appearance. Moreover, we also know that it cannot be happening near the episodes where the Lich appeared, because the Lich has never appeared or even been mentioned in BATTD. I speculate that BATTD would occur either somewhere in Season 3, Season 4 or early Season 5, as that's where most of the characters displayed in BATTD get some development, but mostly not enough for a drastic change in appearance compared to BATTD's characters. Of course, BATTD was never mentioned at all in the Adventure Time series. Neither were the Monkeys from the Bloons universe ever mentioned there. Obviously, this is due to the fact that BATTD was never conceived until years after the end of the TV series. Let's assume that after BATTD finishes in the canon, the Monkeys go back to their world and nobody in the Adventure Time universe ever mentions the event, whatever the reason. So, what are your thoughts? Do you agree with my hypothesis or do you have a different interpretation of where BATTD might fit in the canon of Adventure Time? I'm all ears.

A while ago, I asked this question in the Discussions board for the Adventure Time wiki, but all I got was a large array of woefully-irrelevant answers that continue to make me facepalm to this day. So I came over here to ask you guys this same question. Hopefully I can get some more... productive answers this time.
