The Robbed Top 1s

The #1 spot on the demonlist is one of the most prestigious things in geometry dash. Over the last decade many players have attempted to bring about the new hardest level and its that dynamic that’s caused some players and levels to become etched into the culture of the game and its community. Not everyone can achieve that glory though and some have gotten just plain unlucky in their pursuit of the #1 demon. Some levels were hard enough to rightfully earn that place but it was unrealized until it was far too late. These are the robbed top 1s.

0:26 "robbedtop 1's" sounds like a shoe made by robtop

[Cappyffff]

Firework was technically top 1 for 16 seconds, however it was most definitely robbed. Great video!

1:39 i love the irony here, with conical definitely being harder but everyone was so bad at straight fly that bloodbath was deemed harder back then

I loved it when Robtop said "It's rob time" and robbed all over the place🥰

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

GIANT UPDATE: Kenos has been moved above zodiac, making it real hardest level of 2019 and another robbed top 1 after 5 years of being bellow zodiac, happy thing to npesta to verify top 1.

Honestly the full story about Crimson planet is kinda sad

Awesome video!

This is an interesting topic, I always wonder how different people's legacy could've been if they had gotten the correct placement. I do wish you included Silent Clubstep, however, since that definitely hurts we never officially saw.

In a way, back then, it was kind of incredible to see that a level so hard wasn't even top 1. However, it still was sort of upsetting after so much build-up

But yeah, overall great work :)

As soon as I read the title, I was like: “robbed top, robtop?!”

[GeometryJohnWick]

Crazy how history would've changed if that guy who made zbot just spoke up earlier

"currently #120"
goddamn.

The 88% on Arcturus clip always gets me simply because of how defeated bro sounds.

[Pokeknight]

20:28 Actually, firework was rated less than a minute before slaughterhouse, making it the top one for literally 18 seconds.

at 4:16 you showed a photo of xanii talking about tartarus rather than krmal :*)

My new addiction is random/niche gd history thank you hypo for doing the lords work 🤝

[Divexi]

Good vid! Was hoping to see Wcropolix on this list

[GdRiskyPlane]

When the 3 big demons of 2021 being Slaughterhouse, Firework and Arcturus were being discussed as being the hardest I was in the belief that it was firework

[brinegar]

When you showed Theory of Darkness on screen, that brought back so many memories

[kingcheese]

Amazing video!
also great song choice! I was so surprised when I heard that remix of penumbra phantasm lol
