Nine Circles levels are remake levels based on Zobros’s 1.9 Demon level Nine Circles, typically featuring varying colors, decorations, and difficulties. They remain one of the most popular level trends to date. These levels commonly use dubstep, electro, or dance music, particularly tracks by composers such as NIGHTKilla (Rukkus) and Xtrullor, among others.
The signature strobing wave segment, termed the “Circles effect”, usually coincides with the song’s drop. These sections exhibit a sharp difficulty spike, with flashing backgrounds and obstacles that obscure the player’s visibility. Occasionally, the effect is applied to non-wave game modes, as seen in levels like The Realistic or Bausha Vortex.
Several Nine Circles levels, including Sonic Wave (and its remakes) and Sakupen Circles, were once ranked among the hardest levels in Geometry Dash.
Overview[]
In early 2015, Zobros published the Hard Demon level Nine Circles, his first original level. This level stunned the Geometry Dash community and quickly gained widespread popularity. In late February of that year, the then-unknown player SuperPizzaLuigi (now known as MkComic) released a remake of the level, featuring purple colors and a new NIGHTKilla song titled Fairydust. By late April, creators Softable and the well-known ZenthicAlpha had replicated Nine Circles with their own iterations, The Realistic and Jawbreaker, respectively.
Between May and August, dozens of such levels emerged, created by both established creators (e.g., Glittershroom, Dhafin, Andromeda, and Minesap) and previously unknown designers who rose to prominence through their Nine Circles remakes, such as CrisPy Dash, Artimiel, RedUniverse, and N1XO. The trend waned after the 2.0 update, as RobTop (the game’s developer) largely stopped awarding star ratings to classic-style Nine Circles remakes, except in rare cases. This prompted creators to experiment with new designs, leading to the 2.0 generation of Nine Circles levels like Retro Circles, Circulatum, AnotherCircles, and Ultimate Circles.
Creators such as Rulas and Rustam later came up even more challenging variants like Ultra Circles and XII Circles, with the latter being particularly difficult to replicate. By 2016, very few remakes earned featured status, and Zobros himself acknowledged the trend’s oversaturation. RobTop subsequently assured him that new Nine Circles levels would likely not receive official ratings. This shift inspired the 2.1-style Nine Circles era, exemplified by levels like pulsar, Nine CircleX, Zacarias, Tenth Circle, and Cosmic Cyclone.
What is a Nine Circles level[]
The following criteria provide a general classification for star-rated levels designated as “Nine Circles” levels, characterized by recurring patterns observed across historically accepted variations. These guidelines aim to differentiate true Nine Circles levels from “Nine Circles-themed” levels using analytical and statistical data. Only star-rated levels are recognized, as RobTop uses this system to denote quality and “worth recognizing.”
Level Structure[]
- The wave gamemode must be active for greater than 25% of a star-rated level for it to be considered a Nine Circles level: Wave gameplay is central to Nine Circles levels. The average wave usage in rated levels is 50.5%, but the 25% threshold ensures creative flexibility. This threshold derives from psychological studies indicating humans recognize prominence when an element ranks within the “Top 3” of a category (e.g., Olympic podium rankings). Thus, wave must occupy at least 25% of gameplay to qualify as a “Top 3” gamemode.
Refer to the Nine Circles Wave Quantity Data for statistical breakdowns.
- The level must not begin with the wave gamemode: All rated Nine Circles Demons feature a non-wave introduction, typically synced to a musical buildup preceding the drop. Analysis confirms no rated Nine Circles Demon begins with wave gameplay.
Decoration[]
- Diamond Block structuring must account for AT LEAST 50% of the decoration style while the wave gamemode is active: All current Nine Circles Demons use diamond blocks to form wave corridors. These blocks are angled at 45° or 60° to align with standard or mini-wave trajectories. Unlike levels like ZAPHKIEL, where wave corridors use angled lines but lack diamond blocks. Nine Circles structuring requires diamond blocks to extend fully to level boundaries (floor/ceiling). Compare to non-diamond structuring styles:
- Spike and Pillar structuring: Uses spikes and vertical pillars, found during sections 28% to 35% of The Golden and 23% to 34% of Hatred.
- Slanted Pillar Structuring: Uses diagonally aligned pillars, found during sections 61% to 87% of Cold Sweat and 6%—15%, 75% to 84% of Cataclysm.
- Rectangular Block Structuring: Relies on rectangular blocks with slanted corridor line, found in all wave sections of ZAPHKIEL and 63—67% of Slaughterhouse.
- The Concentric Flashing effect appears on the surrounding structuring for at least 50% of the time that the wave gamemode is active: Concentric flashing is explained as follows:
Figure 1: Concentric Circles
Figure 2: Concentric Diamonds
Figure 3: Concentric Diamonds (numbered)
- Figure 1 shows five circles all with the same center but different sizes. Concentric is defined as “of or denoting circles, arcs, or other shapes which share the same center, the larger often completely surrounding the smaller. In this formation, bars of space are created between the circles.
- Figure 2 shows concentric diamonds in the 1.9 Nine Circles style.
- Figure 3 details the following sequence:
- Bars 1–4 cycle ON/OFF in order (1→2→3→4→1…).
- Flashing can reverse (4→3→2→1→4…).
- The pattern must flow repetitively inward (OUT→IN) or outward (IN→OUT).
- All rated Nine Circles levels include this effect.
The flashing can occur in the opposite direction, with bar 4 flashing first and bar 1 last. The flashing on the object must have a repetitive IN to OUT or OUT to IN direction, with OUT being the outer edge of the block and IN being the center of the block. Each current rated Nine Circles level features this effect.

Nine Circles "Extras"[]
According to the Nine Circles Demon List, which strictly follows the criteria as described in detail on the fandom list, Nine Circles "Extras" are a replacement for the old "exceptions" section on the wiki. This list is made to accommodate levels that are considered circles by many people but are not recognized by the list. To honor them, we will list them here under a single criteria that states that many people must consider it NC, yet it doesn't meet the standards of the main list criteria.
For a player attempting to beat every Nine Circles Demon and to be recognized by us, these demons are recommended, but not required.

Complete Victors[]
- Riot completed the Nine Circles series on August 18, 2015, with his completion of Crimson Clutter.
- Many believe that he missed Headrush, but it was eventually discovered Headrush was not rated until August 25, 2015.
- On August 2, 2017, SentientDjake became the second-ever to complete the Nine Circles series.
- Kevelia became the third victor on September 18, 2017, after beating Circles Evolution (considered a Nine Circles level at the time).
- iNeo became the fourth victor on February 3, 2019, after beating Power, though many of their completions were not recorded, thus lacking prominent evidence.
Trivia[]
- Three players have, at one point, completed every rated Nine Circles Demon.
- Riot - when there were 23 Nine Circles Demons.
- SentientDjake - when there were 57 Nine Circles Demons.
- Kevelia - when there were 58 Nine Circles Demons.
- Technically, Zobros completed every Nine Circles Demon when there was only one. However, this did not count as it was not a trend yet.
- It was initially known that SentientDjake became the first player to complete 100 rated Nine Circles Demons, as of December 7, 2022. However, it was recently discovered that Jake's completion of Planet Circles was not the rated version on the servers, so the title goes to the next person to reach it, wity.
- There is a chronological list of Nine Circles levels made by NothingIsScary.
- Before 2.0, triple saw-blades had an outline in the third saw-blade, making it look like it had four saw-blades. (If the OBJ had 1.00 opacity.)
- It is still possible to make these saw-blades after 2.0 via color blending.
- There are 7 rated Sonic Wave remakes; If Sonic Wave was L1, Sonic Wave Infinity, Sonic Wave Rebirth, Generic Wave, Sonic Wave Unlimited, Redemption, and Cosmic Cyclone.
- Additionally, there are 2 rated Sonic Wave remakes that are considered Nine Circles "Extras"; Auditory Breaker and Super Mario Wave.
- This brings the total amount of rated Sonic Wave levels to 10.
- Out of all the Nine Circles Demons, fifteen have an Epic rating: pulsar, Nine CircleX, Nine Paws, Tenth Circle, Sonic Wave Rebirth, ACCELERATOR, FIREPOWER, Solar Flare, Haywire, Psychedelic Circles, Nomostros Cosmos, Ring Trick, Bangarang, Axiom Asterism, and Sinister Glow; the hardest one out of all of them being Solar Flare and the easiest being ACCELERATOR.
- The current hardest-rated Nine Circles level according to the Demonlist is Sakupen Circles.
- Sonic Wave and Sakupen Circles are the only Former Top 1 that are a Nine Circles level.
- Arctic Lights was unintentionally placed as a Top 1 on the Demonlist on May 27, 2022, for less than an hour.
