==Trivia==
*There used to be no delay on when the player could pause, which allowed pause buffering, where the player could time their inputs better and allowed near-impossible levels like [[Sakupen circles (Nick24)|Sakupen circles]] to be beaten.<ref group="YouTube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_dvGZJGUj4</ref>
**This technique was later banned by the [[Demonlist (Pointercrate)|Demonlist]], making any completions using it invalid.<ref group="Discord">https://discord.com/channels/395654171422097420/395692399919366147/1208235206461620244</ref>
**It was finally patched in Update 2.206 when a delay was added that made it so that pausing three times in a short period results in being only allowed to pause once, nerfing pause buffering.
