Editing Tartarus (section)

===General===
*The versions of Tartarus by Riot and Mullsy are free to copy. The password for Dolphy's version is 61742, representing the total number of attempts he made on the level.
*Tartarus was ranked #66 in Geometry Dash Today's list of 'The Top 100 Greatest Geometry Dash Levels Of All Time'.<ref>https://x.com/today_gd/status/1729644192786223291</ref>
*Tartarus was the first Extreme Demon released in 2020.
*Tartarus remained the hardest level verified on 240Hz or a refresh rate below 360FPS for over two years and ten months.
**Before the release of Update 2.2, when physics were locked to a maximum of 240Hz, it was surpassed only by BGram's 240Hz verification of [[LIMBO]] on 26 November 2022.
*[[Sea]] thought that Tartarus is not rate-worthy.
*In Greek mythology, [[Wikipedia:Tartarus|Tartarus]] is the deep abyss under the earth used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked. The prison for the Titans contributes to its hellish theme.
*Riot had stated that Tartarus was in the works before Bloodbath, saying that it started in [[Update 1.6]] (when it was known as Silent Akbar).
*As an April Fools' Day joke, Tartarus was Weekly Demon on 1 April 2021, and if anyone commented on the level, their account name would have a random word before or after the real account name. 
**rori coincidentally beat Tartarus on April Fools' Day in 2020.
*There is a Tartarus remake called 'INFERNUM', verified by Hulunn on 28 September 2025.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm_Ox6wvK_Q</ref> The level was estimated to be around Top 200 in difficulty at the time of its verification, but Hulunn said he would most likely buff it later.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLoLHpT0kdU</ref>
*Tartarus is a part of the player-made 'New RGB trilogy', along with [[Sonic Wave Infinity]] and The Golden.
*Tartarus caused some controversy, as some thought it was wrong that Riot used noclip to verify it, like Cinci, who verified INNARDS (formerly a level said to be harder than Tartarus before Cinci verified the nerfed version).
*Riot announced an upcoming buff-date for Tartarus on 2 November 2021 as a joke.<ref>https://x.com/xriott/status/1455345170661191680?cxt=HHwWgMC5rZqutrIoAAAA</ref>
*While attempting to beat Tartarus, [[Denni]] received an Amber alert, which caused him to crash, leading to him jokingly saying, 'I hope that kid f**king dies.'<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy6sccJWAVk</ref> This clip became infamous in the community and was referenced in their completion video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFX6HDHMzk0</ref>
*Information about Dolphy hacking Tartarus, as well as his inappropriate behaviour and sexual misconduct, had been a large topic of debate within the community. Many people urged the Pointercrate Demonlist staff to ban Dolphy from the site. Pointercrate acknowledged and, on their site, replaced his verification video with a showcase.
**However, the ban did not come from the alleged hacking of Tartarus, but rather due to his earlier-mentioned inappropriate behaviour, because it is still unclear whether Dolphy hacked the level or not.
***Since then, most of the community sees Mullsy as the 'verifier' of Tartarus.
*In the level Troll Madness by zyphur, if the player enters the ''[[Wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft]]'' Nether portal, it brings them to a replica of Tartarus, albeit with half of its decoration being removed for optimisation. Completing this version awards the player all three user coins, regardless of whether they have collected them beforehand. It also features an Easter egg containing an Amber alert sound effect that plays at the same location where Denni encountered it.
