Every 'Robbed' Top 1 in Geometry Dash

The title of having the hardest level in your hands is highly sought after. However, the Demon List is not always accurate in their placements. Let's take a look at the levels who were robbed of glory.

Crimson planet was the biggest steal in gd history, not only was it the longest lasting top 20 ever, it was also much harder than the hardest at the time, and beaten by a player far ahead of his time, who never ended up getting the recognition he deserved. GG wooshi

Since I definitely forgot some, I'll make a comment with some that also count:

Phobos: Originally below Bloodbath and Sakupen Hell back in 2016, but is now above both.

WcropoliX: Is considered harder than Bloodbath today, but is unrated to this day.

Crimson Planet: Unanimously harder than Bloodlust, but was never rated back in 2018. It WAS top 1 when Zodiac was removed from the list, but could have had a longer reign

Apologies for not being thorough. That's unexcusable from me. I promise to do better with accuracy.

8:12 December 19th 2023: “Slaughterhouse has been lowered from #4 to #6, above Sakupen Circles and below Kyouki.”

This means AoD is now at #4, two spots above Slaughterhouse (finally)

Firework actually was placed on the demonlist 17 seconds before Slaughterhouse meaning it WAS top 1 for a short amount of time

Space shattered so many people's dreams, from stealing top 1 from several people, to stealing the literal top 1 demon. Firework deserved so much more than it got. But in my opinion, since slaughterhouse wasn't legitimately completed, Firework would've been top 1 and trick would've fulfilled his dream.

The xenoblade chronicles main theme jumpscare at silent clubstep was crazy

Who else understood "The RobTop 1" instead of "The robbed Top 1"?

Let's not forget about Hatred by SrGuillester.
When it was first beaten, it was placed at #7. This was back when Sonic Wave was #1 and Bloodbath was in the top 10.
Hatred was not only on the top 150 for over five years, but now, with it finally into the legacy list, it is now *SEVENTY-SIX* spots above Bloodbath. Hatred would've been #2 at the time, even topping Artificial Ascent.
Hatred is arguably the most underrated demon in the game's history.

Hard machine not being top 1 really sucks because it was varium’s goal to beat the top 1 at some point for 8 years and he ended up verifying the new top 1 and the first 4 victors said it was harder than tartarus but then spaceuk hacked it and said it was easier and then it was never placed at the top

[brachiozaur]

I absolutely adore this concept and in fact did a similar list myself like last year or so! Here're some other levels I found that would more or less get that title.

Funnily enough, it wasn't only Trueffet that had such a fate, as Conical Depression of all levels for a very short time (from March 10th to April 8th, 2018.) was placed above Bloodbath, which would have made it a former top 1 until Phobos verification, as opposed to #3 (below Bloodbath and The Hell Factory).

Other than that, Lucid Nightmares, Gamma and The Hell Zone all would have been #1 if rated and placed instantly after release, akin to Oblivion situation. (LN was verified when BL was top 1, Gamma during SW reign and THZ during Bloodbath era).

Under very specific circumstances, even Spacial Rend would have counted as a robbed top 1, as it was verified when SW, PPF and Erebus were top 3, although it stayed unrated for a few months. Similarly to Conical, Spacial was above all those levels between August 4th, 2018. to February 20th, 2019. It's obviously below PPF now, but in that time frame it would've been considered a robbed top 1 before Bloodlust verification.

Another funny thing is Thinking Space almost would've made the cut, but it was verified one day after Technical completed Zodiac lmao

Very interesting video, I can’t believe that so many levels were Robtop of being top 1!

[derpthefish]

dice really verified a top 1 and was like "barely harder than cognition, maybe even easier"

[Jayzzzen]

Am i the only one who hears "robtop" instead of "robbed"

[desertedstream]

This is a fantastic video. I've been trying to document this stuff for a while now, even making a list of top 1s on the fan wiki that included all of these in some capacity, although that page would end up getting deleted. I'm glad that this history will be preserved in some fashion now

[SeptaGon]

lucid nightmares and crimson planet deserve some love too

[Oqiwbfrmekn]

Arcturus is SO robbed and wasn't even given enough recognition. Everyone talks about firework, when this level not only was verified 2 months earlier, but also was the true first level to dethrone tartarus. I was actually so happy when this got moved up above tartarus. I know pretty much everything in this level is considered trash by the community, but I love this level man and it deserves to be atleast included in the former top 1's list

[tjelol]

6:56 YouTube captions: ah yes, *sonic rape infinity*

[peomaster]

Theres one level in the Sonic Wave era which i think deserves recognition, which is Gamma. Gamma is currently harder than Sonic Wave however when it came out, SW was considered harder than this level. Effectively getting its top 1 status robbed

[jjgh]

It’s sad that silent clubstep got robbed of being top 1

[Peridoughnut]
