Dart Monkey

The Dart Monkey is the first and cheapest monkey, it has eight upgrades (two paths, four upgrades each) which can go all four one way but will stop at two the other way. It costs $170 on Easy, $200 on Medium, and $220 on Hard. The Dart Monkey is the basic monkey and throws one dart that pops one bloon (without upgrades). This is the most efficient first monkey to use at the start since you can get four upgrades (2,2) and buy the monkey, before even starting the game.
