Editing Death Moon (section)

==Trivia==
===General===
*Death Moon has an extra space at the end of its name.<!-- 'Death Moon ' -->
*Death Moon achieved unique strobing effects by alternating the four colour channels available at the time between black with blending (rendering the corresponding decoration invisible) and other colours.
*The ending shows the characters 死月 (Pinyin: ''sǐ yuè''; Hepburn: ''Shigetsu''), which is the song's official Chinese title.
**The characters translate to Death Moon in Mandarin Chinese and Japanese.
*The number of objects in Death Moon surpassed the maximum number in the 1.9 level editor. To achieve this, FunnyGame utilised a glitch to add more objects using the Copy and Paste functions (separately).
*Death Moon features only one orb, a pink orb at the cube section around the middle.
*The song used in the level was initially released in 2005, as a track featured in the Korean rhythm game ''O2Jam''. The song has since also been featured in ''O2Jam Online'' and [[Wikipedia:Pump It Up (video game series)|''Pump It Up'']].
**Previous versions of the song were deleted from Newgrounds due to copyright infringement. The original composer of the song, SHK (SoundHolicK), later uploaded an official release to Newgrounds featuring a more bass-heavy mix, which was used for the level.
**The song has since received two follow-ups, those being 'Death Moon 2' and 'Festival of Death Moon'.
**The song bears similarities to Necrofantasia from [[Wikipedia:Touhou 7|''Touhou 7'']].
*On 29 April 2020, Death Moon temporarily became a free Demon with a message stating that Caustic had lost everything on his account.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl2Vq0SQTyQ</ref> It was quickly reverted, but it temporarily caused the level to become an Extreme Demon.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BeoS9qvVyU</ref>
*Death Moon formerly had a [[Update 2.1|2.1]] update, which was reverted when the level was restored from its hack.
**The 2.1 version of the level had a Demon Face at the end, accompanied by the text 'Demon Head by knobbelboy' and 'Death Moon'.
*Since Death Moon is in a Gauntlet and was the Weekly Demon, it was possible to get this level's rewards three times.
*Death Moon is in more rated [[Lists]] than any other level in the game. As of July 2026, it is in a total of 18 Lists, worth a combined total of 1,040 diamonds.
*Death Moon is one of four Gauntlet levels created before Update 2.0. The other three levels are [[Scarlet Surge]] and [[Kappaclysm]] in the Chaos Gauntlet, as well as [[Fire Aura]] in the Lava Gauntlet.
**Since the Cursed Gauntlet was released in [[Update 2.2]], this makes Death Moon the first Gauntlet level to have been released three major updates before its Gauntlet.
*The name of the achievement for collecting 5,000 moons, 'Death Moon', is most likely a direct reference to this level.

===Remakes===
*Reanimation, a level by Terron, appears to be a spin-off level created in Update 2.0, which the community has widely accepted to be 'Death Moon V2' or a sequel to Death Moon. It is exemplified by how details in the level seem to originate from Death Moon, and how the characters 死月 (translating to Death Moon) are shown in the mini-UFO part.
*There is an Extreme Demon remake of Death Moon called Pandemonium, created by Terron and Yakimaru and verified by Knoeppel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvGLBX4ee4</ref>

===Errors===
*At 4%, it is possible to jump over one of the floating blades instead of the required one and not crash.
*In the last section, where there are successive game-mode portals, the player can change the gravity of their ball and end up finishing the level upside down.
*At the mini-wave part, the slopes' hitboxes are inverted and invisible, making them significantly larger than their physical appearance.
