Editing Gauntlets (section)

==Trivia==
===General===
*The format of gauntlets is shared by worlds in [[Geometry Dash World]], having a selection of five levels played in sequence. Gauntlets are also similar to [[Map Packs]] in being selections of user levels that offer rewards, although the number of levels, rewards, and order of play differ.
*The first six gauntlets are based on the five tier 1 [[Collectibles#Shards|shards]]: fire, ice, poison, shadow and lava shards, and also bonus unlocks. 
**Despite the Bonus Gauntlet being a part of the group, completing it does not reward any shards to the player.
*Chaos, Demon, Force, and Power are the names of both a Gauntlet and a Map Pack.
*Currently, no Gauntlets include any ''Auto'', ''Easy'', ''Insane Demon'', or ''Extreme Demon'' levels.
*There are four gauntlets in which the first level is not the most-downloaded:
**The Force Gauntlet, in which [[Motion]] has more downloads than [[Propane Nightmares]].
**The Acid Gauntlet, in which [[Absolute Garbage]] has more downloads than [[Sewer Showdown]].
**The Split Gauntlet, in which [[Change of Scene]] has more downloads than [[Subdivision Zone]].
**The Cursed Gauntlet, in which both [[iSpyWithMyLittleEye]] and [[Death Moon]] have more downloads than [[Im Dead]].
***By extension, the Cursed Gauntlet is the only gauntlet in which the first level is the third-most-downloaded.

===Level-specific===
*The following levels were subject to rearrangement or removal from a new gauntlet shortly after release:
**The Fire Gauntlet had all its levels rearranged. The original order of levels was: fifth, third, first, second, then fourth levels; [[Magmatic Sanctuary]], [[First Race]], [[OuterSpace]], [[Overture]], then [[Shock]].
**[[Skyward]], initially ordered fifth in the Ice Gauntlet, was shifted to second due to its overestimated difficulty.
**Blade, initially ordered fourth in the Chaos Gauntlet, was removed upon request by its creator and replaced with [[Drippy Dub]], which was shifted to the third position. [[Kappaclysm]] was then shifted to the fourth position.
**Vulgarity, initially ordered third in the Time Gauntlet, was replaced with [[Timeless]] due to popular demand.
**Dangerous Spikes, initially ordered first in the Spike Gauntlet, was removed due to its underestimated difficulty and replaced with [[Victim]].
**[[Digital Glitch]], currently ordered third in the Power Gauntlet, also used to be the second level in the Acid Gauntlet upon release, before being quickly changed to [[SOREVILLE]].
***Before being replaced, Digital Glitch was the first, and currently the only level, to have been included in two different Gauntlets.
*The following levels were included in gauntlets despite not aligning with the criteria of their respective contest:
**[[Odyssey]] from the Magic Gauntlet is rated 7 stars, while the criteria for the Unknown Creators mega-collaboration were for the level to be 5 or 6 stars in difficulty.
**[[SLAM]] from the Monster Gauntlet is rated 7 stars, when the criterion to be eligible was for levels to be rated 8 or 9 stars. The level was added despite this, as it was noted during judging that the creator had originally requested 8 stars.
**[[Nowise]] and [[Darkness Keeper]] from the Doom Gauntlet are each rated Hard Demon, when the criterion to be eligible was for levels to be rated Easy Demon or Medium Demon. The levels' difficulties were changed to Medium Demon, although it was later reverted.
***This also makes them the only Hard Demon gauntlet levels so far.
**[[BISMARCK]], [[Lutetia]], [[PABRIK]], and [[Asadal]] from the Universe Gauntlet are each rated Medium Demon, when the criterion for eligibility was for levels to be rated no harder than Easy Demon. [[Ruta Del Sol]] is the only Easy Demon.
**[[Radiant Glen]] from the Discord Gauntlet originally did not have its alternate path available until nearly 15 seconds into the level, while the criteria to be eligible required the alternate path to be available within the first five seconds. The level was later updated to make the alternate path available much earlier.
**[[Project Novaform]] from the Chance Gauntlet was originally rated Easy Demon; however, it would quickly be rerated to Insane before its addition.
*[[Fire Aura]] from the Lava Gauntlet, [[Scarlet Surge]] and Kappaclysm from the Chaos Gauntlet, and [[Death Moon]] from the Cursed Gauntlet are the only levels which were initially released before [[Update 2.0]] to be included in gauntlets.
**Death Moon from the Cursed Gauntlet is also currently the only level released three major updates before the gauntlet it is included in.
*[[Motion]] from the Force Gauntlet and [[Mission 01]] from the Cyborg Gauntlet are currently the only levels released during Update 2.0 to be included in gauntlets released during Update 2.2.
*Kappaclysm from the Chaos Gauntlet is the only level in the game to be included in both a gauntlet and a Map Pack, also being the first level of the Blade Pack.
*[[Inferno]] from the Inferno Gauntlet is the only instance where a gauntlet level matches the name of the gauntlet it appears in so far.
*The following levels share the same music:
**[[Infernal Arena]] and [[ichor]] from the Lava Gauntlet both use 'Ichor'.
**Magmatic Sanctuary from the Fire Gauntlet and [[HellGate Menace]] from the Monster Gauntlet both use 'Sheol'.
**[[Pureland]] from the Spike Gauntlet, [[Shrill Hallway]] from the Doom Gauntlet, and [[lost in the woods]] from the Forest Gauntlet all use '-Haunted woods-'.
**[[Trek]] from the Water Gauntlet and [[In Deepestiner]] from the Fantasy Gauntlet both use 'Into the Woods'.
**SLAM from the Monster Gauntlet and [[Deathstep III]] from the Cursed Gauntlet both use 'Necromancy'.
**[[Ghoul]] from the Death Gauntlet and [[Under]] from the Mystery Gauntlet both use 'Exoplanet'.
**[[Anubis]] from the Chaos Gauntlet and [[Avarinth]] from the Treasure Gauntlet both use 'EnV - Anubis'.
**[[Soar]] from the Water Gauntlet and [[Seaside Shuffle]] from the Treasure Gauntlet both use '-Welkin Wing-'.
**[[Magic Valley]] from the Fantasy Gauntlet and [[Venice]] from the Gem Gauntlet both use 'Quaoar'.
**[[Parsnip]] and [[Trip or Treat]] from the Spooky Gauntlet both use 'B!tchcrush'.
**[[Odd]] from the Strange Gauntlet and [[Hydrux]] from the Spooky Gauntlet both use 'Fisher Price'.
**[[Burn]] from the Inferno Gauntlet and [[SAVAGE SEWER]] from the Acid Gauntlet both use '-Boneyard-'.
**[[Asadal]] from the Universe Gauntlet and [[WEAVER]] from the Spider Gauntlet both use 'MOAI', though the version Asadal uses is the 'old mix' of MOAI.
*The following levels share music with existing [[Robert Topala|RobTop]] levels:
**[[Beast Mode Full]] from the Poison Gauntlet uses the song '[[Dashlands#Beast Mode-0|Beast Mode]]'.
**[[Frontline Full]] from the Lava Gauntlet uses the song '[[Dashlands#Frontlines-0|Frontlines]]'.
**[[Danger Zone]] from the Lava Gauntlet uses the song '[[Dashlands#Machina-0|Machina]]'.
**[[Payload (TheRM22)|Payload]] from the Bonus Gauntlet uses the song '[[Dashlands#Payload-0|Payload]]'.
**[[DELUXE]] from the Christmas Gauntlet uses the song '[[Polargeist]]'.
*The music for [[Crazy Ball]] from the Bonus Gauntlet is titled 'Partyt Är Igång!'. In-game, it is displayed as 'Partyt r Igng!' because the in-game font does not support accented characters.
**Likewise, the music title for [[Shards of Siberia]] from the Portal Gauntlet, and [[Empty Space]] from the Mystery Gauntlet contain some special characters. In-game, those special characters are replaced with '?' since the game cannot recognise special characters.
*Six gauntlet levels exceed 3 minutes in length; these are [[Snow flies in Fog]], [[Change of Scene]], [[WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe]], [[in Silico]], [[I See Stars]] and [[Out of Place]].<!-- *MASTER REALITY also fits this criteria. -->
**Out of Place is the longest of these levels with a length of 3m 46s, also making it the longest gauntlet level.
*[[Timeless]] from the Time Gauntlet, [[WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe]] from the Portal Gauntlet, [[Empty Space]] from the Mystery Gauntlet and [[Abducted]] and [[Jova]] from the Space Gauntlet are the only levels to use songs that were not available on Newgrounds or the Music Library. 
**In Abducted's case, the original Newgrounds song was removed from the site by its creator due to controversy relating to unreasonably poor reception of Abducted winning the Space Gauntlet contest. Its replacement was specifically coded to replace the original song's Newgrounds ID.
*[[Lustre]] is the first level in a gauntlet in which the level creator also composed the music.
**<!-- *It would be followed by Goldfinch Glade. -->
*[[The Diablo]] from the Haunted Gauntlet and [[Uprising]] from the Force Gauntlet are the only levels to be added to a gauntlet after previously placing in the Honorable Mentions of a different gauntlet's [[Creator Contests|Creator Contest]]; they placed 20th and 12th in the NCS Gauntlet Contest, respectively.

===Gauntlet-specific===
*Before [[Update 2.2]], the title of the Spike Gauntlet in-game was miscapitalised as 'spike Gauntlet'.
*The Demon Gauntlet is the first gauntlet to have Demon difficulty levels.

*The Force Gauntlet and the Power Gauntlet are the only gauntlets not to include an Icon Kit item in their reward chests.
*The Strange Gauntlet is the first gauntlet to contain a level created during Update 2.2, being [[The Poolrooms]].
*The Fantasy Gauntlet is the first gauntlet where all the levels were former [[Daily Level]]s at the time the gauntlet was uploaded.
**In addition, it is the gauntlet with the lowest number of stars granted, with 20 stars in total. It is closely followed by the Shadow Gauntlet, with 21 stars in total.
*The Cursed Gauntlet is the first gauntlet where all the levels were former [[Weekly Demon]]s at the time the gauntlet was uploaded.
*The Halloween Gauntlet is the first gauntlet to contain a level with ''Medium'' length, being [[boo]].

**In addition, they are the first gauntlets not to include any levels rated lower than Legendary.
*The NCS II Gauntlet is the first gauntlet not to include any levels with user coins.
**It would be followed by the Spooky Gauntlet. <!--- and the Paradox Gauntlet --->

*The Chance Gauntlet is the first gauntlet to include levels that use 2-player input.
**When it first released, the Chance Gauntlet was impossible to complete in Geometry Dash Lite or World, as Project Novaform required the 'Always Limit Controls' setting to be turned on, which only exists in the full version of [[Geometry Dash]]. It was quickly fixed through a level update.
*The Spider Gauntlet is the first gauntlet to primarily feature levels with only one game-mode (being the spider).
**Of the Spider Gauntlet levels, only two feature more than one game-mode—[[Free the Boys]] and [[Outside World]]—both of which keep the player as a spider visually in the game-modes.
