Classic is a 1.9 Insane Demon created by VERSU5 (formerly ComplexX). It is generally regarded as one of the more difficult Insane Demon Nine Circles remakes, slightly behind Poltergeist. This is one of the first remakes of Nine Circles ever, having the ID at around 7 million. The level utilizes a green color scheme and, for the first time, lacks a ship sequence and/or a ball segment, unlike other Nine Circles levels. This level focuses in particular on timing and memory skills. Its difficulty can be comparable to Headrush and Sharp Minor.
Gameplay[]
The level starts with a moderately difficult cube section with numerous traps and fakes, then transitions into a Fairydust-like maze section with several troll orbs. Next, the wave segment arrives quite early, at just 17%, and can be divided into two parts:
- Single wave: An abundance of spikes, fake lines, saw-blades, and size/gravity portals. Requires advanced mashing skills and crucial timing.
- Dual wave: It is the second half of the wave. After the dual portal, the layout of the level changes a lot: There are not any portals, the unique hazards are thorns and fake lines. This part is very difficult and requires crucial timing. Towards the end, the speed becomes slow and the gaps narrow with threatening spikes.
The last part is a moderately difficult cube section with 1.8 blocks like at the end of Nine Circles. The gameplay is also the same: avoiding spikes, crossing fake lines and hitting the orbs with crucial timing. Then, the level ends with the mark of ComplexX, a "wall of fame" and, before a Lenny face, an invisible saw-blade that can generate a frustrating death at 97%.
Trivia[]
- The password for the level is 976032.
- The level contains 9,148 objects.
- In this level, a Lenny face (at the beginning and the end) and a monster face (near the drop and in the final cube) appear twice.
- ComplexX himself collaborated with Dzeser in another Nine Circles remake, Astronaut 13. It received a Demon-rating, but at around fifteen thousand likes, a hacker changed it into a free Demon, forcing Dzeser to remove the level and re-upload it. The level was unrated for a period of time, but was then rerated on September 20th, 2022.
- This was the first green Nine Circles remake to be released, even if Problematic was the first to get stars.
- This song is used four times in rated Nine Circles levels: Classic, Classical (Darkz), Classical (D4sher) and Classical (RayOriens). All these levels are rated Demon, except for D4sher's version, which is Insane 9 stars.
- In the description of Pasiblitz's completion-video of the level, he had the word "Complhax", possibly accusing ComplexX of hacking Classic.
- ComplexX would later admit hacking the level. He later beat it legitimately.[1]
- Few people have gotten past the last cube section without failing.
- NightStorm has uploaded a 2.0 decoration version of this level called Classic X, which was verified by Antares on August 8, 2016.[2]
