| “ | See those Zebra-striped Bloons? They combine the meanness of White Bloons and Black Bloons, and contain one of each just for fun. | ” |
| ~ BTD6 Pre-Round Comment for Round 27, referring to Round 26 |
Round 26 is a round first introduced in Bloons TD 5. It consists of a rush of Pink Bloons topped off with the debut of Zebra Bloons.
Description
23 spaced Pink Bloons rush in, with a short pause before 4 Zebra Bloons make their entrance.
Strategy
The round is nothing out of the ordinary, as long as the player has secured a defense against streams of Pink Bloons. The Zebra Bloons pose only a minor threat, as Sharp 
towers (the towers a player will extensively use in the early game anyway) can still damage them.
Tips
- A Sniper Monkey with Full Metal Jacket will snipe the Zebras into mere Green Bloons when set to Strong. It will also help with Round 28 and Round 30 later on, where Lead Bloons appear.
- Glue Soak on a Glue Gunner will cripple glued Zebra Bloons, with Corrosive Glue damaging them too. Like Full Metal Jacket, Corrosive Glue also works well against later Lead Bloons.
