 |Buffed version of Acheron initially conceived as an update, it was uploaded as a separate level due to the level being update-locked.

 |[[Tartarus]], [[Firework]], [[Slaughterhouse]], [[Sakupen Circles (Diamond)|Sakupen Circles]]
 |Although the level is infamously polarising due to its difficulty being hard to compare to other levels, it was undoubtedly the hardest-beaten level for a short amount of time, at least until Slaughterhouse was rated. Remained unrated due to being under 30 seconds. It also held the #1 spot on the Challenge List for over 3.5 years after it was verified.

 |Tartarus
 |Sequel to DIAMOND BLADE by [[icedcave]], likely not given a rate due to the lack of proper decoration for the majority of the level.

 |Sonic Wave (current)
 |Red version of Sonic Wave that ends with Crack and ASonicMen's part in Bloodbath. Remained unrated because it was a level mashup.

 |[[Athanatos]] (old)
 |Orange Athanatos-themed level that was verified less than 24 hours before Sunix verified Sonic Wave. It is not currently known why this remained unrated.

 |[[Bloodbath]]
 |A [[Update 2.0|2.0]] [[Nine Circles Levels|Nine Circles level]] with many elements that were never seen in rated Top 1 levels. The verifier himself underestimated the level's true difficulty. It was likely not noticed by RobTop at the time.

 |Level largely reliant on primitive sync gameplay. Likely remained unrated due to having poor decoration.
