## Fight

### Video Fight

*Super Monkey is chilling on a bed in his apartment, watching television, before Super Brainz bursts through his wall like the Kool-Aid Man randomly, and shouts some stuff.*

**SB**: Super Brainz has heard that there is another superhero in town! Super Brainz wants to fight!

**SM**: Really? Why now? I'm watching… Why is my screen just showing a single image—

**SB**: Let us both see who is the true superhero of Tropolistropolis!

*Super Monkey then looks to his TV, then to Super Brainz. Then the TV, then Super Brainz. Then shrugs and casually says,*

SM: Alright, Let's see what you got.

*Super Monkey gets off their bed, pulls up harder his red outer-underwear, and takes out their fists and makes a battle stance. Super Brainz dashes to Super Monkey and makes a hole in the wall.*

*Now outside in a populated city, Super Monkey takes advantage of the space.*

**SM**: Prepare for a great weapon of mine; darts!

*Super Brainz gasps in horror. Super Monkey then spams a bunch of darts at him, so much to the point that there is nothing but a beam of darts. Eventually, the darts start to build up into one spot. Super Monkey realizes that Super Brainz had been holding all the darts in his hand forward.*

**SB**: Ha ha ha! Super Brainz super strong! Name should be Super Super! Ha ha!... Super Brainz's hand hurts.

*Super Brainz then hurls the giant ball of darts at Super Monkey, who dodges it. The ball of darts crashes to a very tall skyscraper, knocking it over towards Super Monkey and Super Brainz. The two then quickly rush over to the half of the skyscraper to keep it up, but Super Brainz spots a butterfly, and goes towards it. Super Monkey, not being able to keep the skyscraper up, still tries to, but eventually reluctantly gives up and the rest of the building falls down and creates tons of smoke and rubble.*

**SM**: Look what you've done!!! You killed hundreds of people, you villain!!!

**SB**: Leave! Evil butterfly!

*Super Monkey is visibly confused.*

**SM**: Why are you mad over a butterfly? I think it looks okay.

**SB**: It invaded my personal space and STOLE! It stole my oxygen!

**SM**: Wait, you're a zombie, do you even need tha—

*Super Brainz then turns around, and then quickly throws an Ultra Ball, smiling gleefully while doing so. It lands, so in retaliation, Super Monkey puts on their laser goggles, and fires lasers at Super Brainz. Super Brainz then flies towards the monkey (also dodging lasers) and down-kicks him, and performs a Turbo Twister on him before punching him hard in the gut.*

**SM**: That's it… I'm bringing out my full physical strength! Beware of the super-monkey-licious strength of mwuah, Super Monkey! (Yes, I'm so good that's a real word, search it up in the Super Dictionary)

*Super Monkey says the last part while holding a dictionary. He then throws it, which lands into a recycling bin.*

*Super Monkey then flies to Super Brainz, and crashes him into a very dark, abandoned warehouse. Super Brainz, seeing this as a time to have a break, takes out a mirror and makes a smug face into it, initially, he can't see anything due to the lack of light. But then he sees Super Monkey in his Sun Avatar form. Super Brainz then quickly tries to punch the monkey behind him, but it misses, and the Super Monkey crashes Super Brainz through the building while also going into his Anti-Bloon form.*

*Super Monkey has one of his gun-hands on Super Brainz's face, and slams him to a wall.*

**SM**: SEEMS! LIKE! YOU! DIDN'T! HAVE! THE! BRAINS! HUH!?

**SB**: That reminds Super Brainz! Speaking of brains, Monkey-Man,

*Super Brainz punches off one of the monkey's hand-guns, and grabs his head and spins the ape's entire body with one hand.*

**SB**: You have a giant one, Super Brainz must get you to boss headquarters!

*Super Brainz then spins around a confused Super Monkey with one hand and throws him into the sky.*

**SM**: At least I have a braaaaiiinn!!...

*Super Monkey says this before a part of the sky makes a twinkle.*

**SM**: Eh, okay, whatever. Let's see what you got.

*Super Monkey gets off their bed, pulls up harder his red outer-underwear, and takes out their fists and makes a battle stance. Super Brainz dashes to Super Monkey and punches him, making a hole in the wall, leaving lots of rubble. Brainz follows him by going through it.*

*Super Brainz then turns around, and then quickly throws an Ultra Ball, smiling gleefully while doing so. It lands, so in retaliation, Super Monkey puts on their laser goggles, and fires a laser at Super Brainz, who dodges, and the laser slices a building in half. The monkey then quickly flies over to the building that had already collapsed and falls to their knees.*

**SM**: What have I done? Am I… the true villain all along!?

*Super Brainz flies to him and butts in,*

**SB**: Yes!

**SM**: I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION!!!!

*Super Monkey then fires a bunch of more lasers at him, which miss. Super Brainz then flies towards the monkey (also dodging lasers) and down-kicks him, and performs a Turbo Twister on him before punching him hard in the gut.*

**SM**: That's it… I'm bringing out my full physical strength! Beware of the super-monkey-licious strength of mwuah, Super Monkey! (Yes, I'm so good that's a real word, search it up in the Super Dictionary)

*Super Monkey says the last part while holding a dictionary. He then throws it, which lands into a recycling bin. The monkey then cracks his knuckles.*

*Super Monkey then flies to Super Brainz, and crashes him into a very dark, abandoned warehouse. Super Brainz, seeing this as a time to have a break, takes out a mirror and makes a smug face into it, and begins to fix his hair. He then takes a Y-shaped glass of an unknown drink and shakes the glass, then talks to himself while still looking at himself,*

**SB**: Hmmm… shaken not stirred.

*He then takes a sip before seeing a glowing yellow guy on his mirror behind him… wait thats Super Monkey in his Sun Avatar form. Super Brainz turns around with a surprised expression, and spits around 100x more of what he supposedly drank to Super Monkey's face. This lasts for a bit longer than it should. Then finally, he stops spitting*

**SM**: Are you done now?—

*Super Brainz starts spitting at him even more somehow. Super Monkey takes a finger, rubs a bit of the drink on his face and licks it.*

**SM**: Hmmm… I like it stirred better.

*This had really pissed Super Brainz off, and so Super Brainz rush-flies up to the Super Monkey, and attempts to punch him, but it misses, and the Super Monkey, now to the side, them throws a punch at Super Brainz's head, but Super Brainz catches it with his other hand, and the two Knuckles collide, creating a blast of energy going to the air. The two then rapid-punch each other, and then for a small amount of time, the two take out napkins to soak their sweat and take a break, and they instantly go back to rapid-punching. Eventually, both come to a stop after both of their punches hit each other again.*

**SM**: Why do our punches always have to land in the exact same spot, it's literally atomically perfect!

*Super Brainz then attempts to punch Super Monkey straight in the face, but it is stopped by Super Monkey spam-lasering light blasts from his eyes at Super Brainz, who is trying to block it with his hand, but fails, and gets sent flying into a pile of metal cans. As soon as he got up, Super Monkey had become The Anti-Bloon, and began firing never-ending lasers, destroying whatever got hit by the dual laser guns.*

**SM**: DESTROY! DESTROY!

*Super Brainz tried to dodge, and succeeded a bit, before getting blasted and getting launched out of the building, with Super Monkey flying out as well. Both were now in the air. Super Monkey then rushes towards Super Brainz and holds him by the neck, and aims a pistol laser at him. Then talks in a robotic voice.*

**SM**: SEEMS! LIKE! YOU! DIDN'T! HAVE! THE! BRAINS! HUH!?

*Super Brainz lightens up.*

**SB**: That reminds Super Brainz! Speaking of brains, Monkey-Man,

*Super Brainz slaps the pistols away from Super Monkey and grabs his giant head.*

**SB**: You have a giant one, Super Brainz must get you to boss headquarters!

*Super Brainz then spins around a confused Super Monkey with one hand and throws him into the sky.*

**SM**: At least you admitted I'm smarterrrr!!...

*Super Monkey says this before a part of the sky makes a twinkle.*

## Retrospective Analysis

Alright, let's see… Super Brainz had a much greater advantage in physical strength, being able to:

Casually rip out the top layer of a road and move it like a carpet and stop multiple plants who are comparable to him so hard that they q+get sent flying. Without even hitting them. He just clapped his hands and the shockwave sent them flying.

Meanwhile, although Super Monkey had tons of ranged equipment to massively outrange Super Brainz, he can only use one

at a time, while Super Brainz had access to all of his powers at all times. Super Monkey didn't want to switch his moveset in-battle too, as it would give Super Brainz a good opportunity to close the gap between them easily. Super Monkey doesn't really have any feats of durability, so it's likely to assume that he's around as durable as the damage his weapons can do. Even then, Super Brainz still has the upper hand, and has much more experience actually getting hurt, and generally more experienced overall. Super Monkey is always standing around, throwing stuff at bloons without needing to take damage all that much, so he has little to no experience in fighting those comparable to him.

Even if Super Monkey kept his distance, Super Brainz is able to easily aim dodge attacks comparable to lasers, and even if he does get hit, he has survived attacks similar to Super Monkey's before,

Please note that this was from Rose, a plant implied to be on his level.

And Super Brainz's level is insane, being able to punch a bean from this planet, straight to Earth to create this explosion.

This is higher power than anything we've seen in the Bloons series (without some exceptions). Even if in an official Q&A that the Super Monkey is simply holding back from destroying all the bloons, it doesn't explain how much stronger than could actually be. And Super Monkey can't be a true all powerful God without sacrifices, and since this is a 1v1, we can't let him do that can we? And we can't even take this statement seriously, because it hasn't been shown to actually happen in-game, and it is a statement only made by 1 community employee.

So Super Brainz has physically fought others comparable to his crazy power, while Super Monkey only really has his range and has only ever fought balloons. Even then, Super Monkey likely won't be able to land any killing blows. Because of all of this, Super Brainz was able to win.

## Trivia

### Production

* The connections between Super Brainz and Super Monkey are that they are superheros from incredibly popular tower defense games based on one of the weakest things in their game (Basic Zombies and Dart Monkeys for Super Brainz and Super Monkey respectively). Both are also narcissistic, and are parodies of Superman. Both also have the contrast of Super Brainz being an antagonist and Super Monkey being a protagonist.
* This is the first episode to have a transcripted fight written before production on the storyboard.
* This is the first episode to display images of character feats in the Retrospective Analysis.
* This is the first episode where the fight lasts longer than 2 minutes.
* The part where Super Brainz sees Super Monkey on his mirror is an idea given to Toasty by StlTheTru.

### Other

* This is the second video games-themed episode, after The Knight VS Ori.
* This is the first Protagonist VS Antagonist-themed episode, the next ones being Claire VS Vendetta and Billy Butcher VS Hero Killer Stain.
	+ This is the first time the antagonist wins, the next time being in Claire VS Vendetta.
