*'''35-92%:''' The drop begins. Like any other challenging Nine Circles level, Solar Flare features very tight wave parts and frequent changes in size and speed. Many structures appear to move and ease in. At 40-41% and 46-47%, there are memory parts in constellation appearances. Texts say 'up next' and '>>>' at 58%, indicating that the player now faces the dual section of the part. At 91-92%, there is a mini-wave spam section of the level, similar to Down Bass; however, Solar Flare has a normal-size portal and an invisible quadruple-speed change in the middle of the spam section before the second mini-size portal and the invisible double-speed change.
