Cuber is a non-playable character who appears in Bloons Adventure Time TD. His role in the game is to guide the player with in-game tips during the loading screen (which can either be James Baxter standing on and rolling the beach ball on a black background, with the in-game tip right underneath; or in the case of traveling to Martian Games, Finn rotating and floating upwards to Mars on a space-themed background with food items) and acts as the tutorial guide for various aspects of gameplay when players interact with them for the first time. He is much like the Tutorial Monkey in Bloons TD 6, although Cuber will always guide the player about any undiscovered new basic game mechanics too.
