Crosspathing Benefits[]
- Any upgrade that increases the stats of the darts will increase the stats of the pineapples and bombing run by the same amount
Trivia[]
- Crosspathing regarding pineapples also applies to the bombing run attack.
- The name of the x/x/5 is probably a reference to the description of the Spectre in Bloons TD 5: "Flying fortress of bloon doom."
- The ability dialogue for Ground Zero is a reference to the Dex Arson song of the same name.
