Editing Poltergeist (section)

==Trivia==
*Poltergeist was previously copyable.
*Poltergeist was buffed in March 2018.
**Many people called the update 'Cancergeist' because of the 'cancerous' timings and other assorted buffs at the beginning of Poltergeist.
**The 'THIS WILL BE RE-DECORATED SHUT UP' and 'NICE DECORATION' messages at the start most likely refer to Poltergeist Reborn, or hints of a redecorated update in the near future.
**In February 2019, Poltergeist was reverted to the original with a few bug-fixes.
*Poltergeist has the highest difference in difficulty between the beginning and the wave part.
*The 'take a break' part, a characteristic simple cube/ship among an infamously hard wave, was replicated in other unrated Nine Circles levels like Planet Circles and Amity. This part was also used in an infamous mega-collaboration that Andromeda participated in, [[Phobos]].
*Because of its extreme difficulty, Andromeda had to hack to verify Poltergeist.
**Andromeda later rebeat Poltergeist without hacks.
*Andromeda has made a harder remake called 'Poltergeist Reborn' in collaboration with [[Pennutoh]], verified by ThePrimeEvil.
**Poltergeist Reborn was finally rated on 12 June 2021, after being unrated for over 3.5 years.<ref>https://x.com/pennubar/status/1403584133486596100</ref>
*[[Sailent]] created an impossible and extended version of Poltergeist named Silent poltergeist, dedicated to the 'Silent levels' trend. It was verified by [[Whizkid05]] on 29 January 2025.<ref>http://youtube.com/watch?v=XQ_TZc7cnPs</ref>
*South-Korean player VoTcHi beat the buffed update legitimately.
*Poltergeist is Wavix's least favourite level in the game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJgMylVHKI0</ref>
