Unused Code#

There is unused code that requires every deck made by the player to have at least 10 Monkeys and 10 Bloons.

Unused Music#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Was the soundtrack in 008 High Bloon.wav ever used during development, or is it for another game but got accidentally included?

008 High Bloon.wav
An unused track, consisting of a 34-second long track of rhythmic percussions instead of the "High Bloon" track the file was intended to have. It exists only because the actual soundtrack for "A Bloons Tango" was missing, and rather than omitting the file with the missing track, all soundtrack from Shimmering Decks onwards got shifted forward by one file (see the Oddities section) which ironically left an open spot in the High Bloon soundtrack file.

Unused Text#

Almost all cards in the game, even cards that cannot be obtained as part of the player's Collection, have flavor text defined in the game's data. The Bomb card and all non-Collection cards introduced since version 5.0 seem to be the only exception, as they has no flavor text defined.

Notably, both the Undead Bloon and the Undead MOAB have descriptions (written on their cards in-game) that effectively serve as their flavor texts and have no effect in gameplay otherwise. But as with almost any card that cannot be added to the Collection, they have another set of flavor texts which are never seen in-game.
