Alongside the inclusion of Geraldo, there are also plenty of other changes included in Update 31, check out some of the details from the official patch notes below:

• New Hero, Geraldo the Mystic Shopkeeper!
  • A bold adventurer and seeker of fine things, Geraldo has explored the distant, mysterious reaches of the Monkey world to assemble his signature collection
  • Geraldo is almost nothing without his shop, so select the “Shop” icon next to Geraldo’s portrait when he is selected; the shop will remember its open or closed state for easy access & can be toggled open/closed for PC users with the Monkey Special hotkey (PageDown)
  • Shop items have a variety of uses – some place on the map, some on the track, others target Monkeys or subtowers; they all must be pulled from the shop to the playfield
  • Get ready for a wild ride, as Geraldo is intended to be a “build” hero, supporting a variety of strategies that are designed to scale; heaps of dev and balance time behind this one – we hope you enjoy the mysteries!
• New Bloon Boss – Vortex, Deadly Master of Air!
  • Affectionately known as speedy boi, but it may be some time before you feel any affection for this incredibly tough boss
  • Spawns with a temporary shield of wind that for a short time blows away all projectiles that are too slow to pass through it
  • Natural Bloon spawns are buffed by Vortex’s slipstream, moving at incredible speeds until they catch up
  • On Skulls Vortex stuns all nearby towers with a burst of lightning, activates its storm shield, and retreats a short distance
  • Periodically triggers a storm wave that destroys all projectiles in a large radius
  • Distributed placements and ranged attacks are key to victory – good luck!
