'''High Life''' is a [[Update 1.9|1.9]]/[[Update 2.0|2.0]] Insane level by Migueword. It is known primarily for its length, originality, and its notorious buffed remake by [[KrmaL]] called Low Death. Some people have considered it to be worthy of a Demon rating. The song has since been blocked from Newgrounds for its usage of numerous copyrighted songs and has not been replaced by the creator, leaving the level without a currently downloadable song.

==Description==
High Life begins with a half-speed cube section featuring a few tricky timings and some memorization. Here, the level shows text displaying, 'High Life by Migueword'. Then there is a moderately hard half-speed ship sequence with a few tight spaces and the text 'Song: Magic Touch by Romos'. Then there is an auto cube part. It displays the text '3', '2', '1', and 'Go!'

Next comes a hard dual-wave segment with numerous speed changes and tight spaces, followed by a ball part with some simple timings. At the end of this part, the text 'One More Time' appears. Then there is an easier ship part with a few obstacles to avoid, followed by a short UFO segment with several sawblades, and then a moderately tight wave segment with some tricky speed changes.

Then there is a very long half-speed cube section with lots of pulsing decoration and some spike jumps, followed by a slow ship with many sawblades. This part displays the lyrics of the song. Then there is a very long auto part. At the end of this part, there is a short flying part where the text '1.9' becomes '2.0', signalling the transition between versions, followed by a memorization-based ball part. Then there is a UFO section with tricky moving obstacles to avoid, followed by a rather long ship-based boss fight section, separated by two UFO segments.

Then there is a relatively easy robot section, followed by a half-speed ship section with a few tight spaces, then a rather long, slow ship with a few tight spaces and gravity portals. Then comes a slow auto cube section, followed by a tricky ball part with some timings. Next is a relatively easy cube section. In the end, it shows 'Almost There... :^)'

Then there is a ship part with numerous scaled obstacles with ground spikes. Near the end, it shows 'Ready?', signalling an intense ship sequence with a series of gravity and teleportation portals. In the end, it shows 'Let's Go M9!' Afterwards, the player enters a difficult wave segment with fast-paced speed changes and lots of mashing, followed by a ball segment with a few tricks that ends with the text 'GG'.

==User coins==
*The first coin is located at 4% at the ship sequence. To collect it, the player must fly into the aperture without bouncing off the yellow orb.
*The second coin is located at 22% at the wave segment. The player needs to fly into the fake wall, collect the coin and return to the normal route; otherwise, they will crash into the wall.
*The third and final coin is located at 97% at the ball segment. The player needs to land on a platform barely visible from above and change gravity to avoid dying.

==Trivia==
*High Life was ranked #45 in Geometry Dash Today's list of 'The Top 100 Greatest Geometry Dash Levels Of All Time'.<ref>https://x.com/today_gd/status/1730015770216927667</ref>
*High Life supplanted the previous longest rated level in the game, [[Tetrix]].
*Like [[Phobos]], High Life was partially made in Update 1.9, while the rest was created in Update 2.0.
**The pre-drop (except for some text) was made entirely in Update 1.9, and the drop (around 40%) to the end was made in Update 2.0.
*High Life shares its name with a song by Daft Punk.
*KrmaL created and verified a remake called Low Death. Through a complicated history in which the level was abandoned and its verification repeatedly delayed, he ultimately verified it on 5 March 2020 and uploaded it on April Fools' Day.
**The remake has boosted the popularity of High Life since its announcement.
**There is another remake called PPLLLife, a physically possible yet humanly impossible version of High Life dedicated to being the Top 1 Physically Possible Levels List (PPLL) level at the time, requiring about 10<sup>17,000</sup> clicks per second to beat it.
*[[Future Funk]] drew heavy inspiration from High Life, as well as the main level [[Clutterfunk]].
*The song, 'Magic Touch', is a mashup of 31 songs produced by numerous electronic music artists, including [[Wikipedia:Porter Robinson|Porter Robinson]], [[Wikipedia:Daft Punk|Daft Punk]], [[Wikipedia:Deadmau5|Deadmau5]], [[Wikipedia:Zedd|Zedd]], [[Wikipedia:Mat Zo|Mat Zo]], and [[Wikipedia:Madeon|Madeon]].
**Some videos of High Life (and Low Death) have been blocked due to the song's usage of copyrighted samples.
