Fairydust is a 1.9 solo Hard Demon created, verified, and published by mkComic. It is a remake of Nine Circles and was formerly considered one of the hardest Nine Circles levels. In addition, this level helps improve one's wave skills significantly.
History[]
When Nine Circles started to get famous due to its epileptic effect, mkComic decided to create another level using another NIGHTkilla song: Fairydust. He selected a purple color scheme and started building. On February 27, 2015, he verified and published the level.[1] The level was soon rated Demon. Once multiple Demon difficulties were introduced in Update 2.1, it was initially rated as an Insane Demon but was later changed to its current Hard Demon rating.
Gameplay[]
- 0-14%: The level starts with a slightly difficult cube section with a short maze featuring fake blocks and minor memorization.
- 14-22%: Next, the player enters a ball segment that is fairly easy, requiring only a few inputs.
- 22-29%: Then, the player enters a semi-auto cube section containing a few easy jumps.
- 29-73%: The music drops, and the level goes into the infamous Nine Circles wave segment. Like all Nine Circles levels, the wave contains flashing lights, triple-speed, tight spaces, requires decent spamming and many crucial timings that will otherwise instantly cause the player to crash if done incorrectly. The first section of this wave is quite irritating due to odd gravity portals, tight spaces, and awkward click-patterns. The mini-wave is also a major part of the wave, being very difficult and clunky to control, only increasing the difficulty of the level to force precision as it alternates between more awkward timings, gravity switches, and a couple difficult spamming segments around the middle of the level. The wave, in the end, briefly enters the dual mode.
- 73-100%: Afterwards, the player transitions into a double-speed wave segment with more tight spaces. It is easy to crash here because of the transition, strange timings, and an incentive to react quickly to avoid crashing into the lower wall. The wave segment ends, and the player briefly transitions to a cube before going into a triple-speed mini-ship sequence, practically the end of the level. Finally, the level ends with a "GG", a Lenny face, and an auto cube section with SuperPizzaLuigi (mkComic)'s name.
Errors[]
- The auto cube before the drop may be buggy.
- The player can skip the second dual portal and remain a single wave.
- At the end of the first dual, it is possible to miss the double-speed portal and stay at triple-speed.
- After the first double-speed wave segment (51%), it is possible to miss the mini-size portal, leading to a crash.
- At the end of the second dual segment, it is possible to miss the mini-size portal.
- In the end, the player can skip the last cube portal and remain as a ship due to a large amount of space.
Trivia[]
- The password for the level is 123456.
- The level contains 10,969 objects.
- The level is 1m in length.
- Fairydust is one of the first five Demon Nine Circles levels to be created. The others are The Realistic, Jawbreaker, Figures, and the original Nine Circles.
- Fairydust is mkComic's only Demon-rated level.
- mkComic completed this level more easily than Nine Circles, so when he published this level on YouTube, he wrote that the level could be Insane and not Demon.
- This was the hardest nine circles level upon release, later beaten by Classic
- This is the first Nine Circles remake to utilize a maze path with real and fake blocks, spikes, and misleading orbs. This part was used in several later remakes, like Fear Me and Classic.
- This level has a v2, created by C9 Sneaky, using the second drop. However, that level was formerly 9-star difficulty but was eventually super-buffed to Extreme Demon difficulty and verified by JakeEP but remaining rated as a 9-star in-game for several months before being unrated.
- Rulas created an Ultra version of the level called Ultra Fairydust, which is considered easier.
- The real first Nine Circles remake is not actually this level, but Beautiful Eyes. That level is generally overlooked due to its low-quality aspect and its former improper rating (3 stars instead of 10). However, it was later unrated.
- softable used a copy of this level to create The Realistic.
- This level was in EricVanWilderman's 12 Demons of Christmas 2022 Community series as Demon #6.[2]
- Stallion made a joke about this level, copying it, changing colours to red, green, and white, referencing a Christmas themed.
- The awkward gravity portal segment at 39% can also be found in the first wave of Sonic Wave.
