'''WHAT''' is a [[Update 2.1|2.1]]/[[Update 2.2|2.2]] Hard level by [[Spu7Nix]], verified by [[AeonAir]]<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfn5pZeCbRs</ref> and published on 6 October 2023. The level is a spiritual successor to [[HOW]], featuring more elaborate 3D effects produced with external programming.

==Description==
* '''0-10%:''' The level begins with the player appearing as an actual grey cube, and then a section containing multiple three-dimensional objects appears. This part is tricky to sight-read because some objects are platforms while some are not. There are indicators for when to jump, but they are hard to see and disappear as quickly as they appear. Memory may be required in this part. In the last segment, the player must jump onto a yellow pad after switching gravity between two blue pads. When launching from the yellow pad, the level will show the player turning into a 3D wave and transitioning into a representation of a third-person perspective.

When launching from the yellow pad, the level will show the player turning into a 3D wave and transitioning into a representation of a third-person perspective.
* '''10-29%:''' Now, as a wave, similar to the one in HOW, the player must travel through a circular tunnel-like structure with different coloured L-shapes while avoiding numerous cubes of obstacles. The final obstacle consists of two hollow shapes. When going through that obstacle, the level will show the obstacle facing forward, then zooming far out, transitioning into the next part

* '''29-48%:''' The game mode switches to a very unique-looking ship that has blue fire coming out of it (similar to how the engine is in the real ''Geometry Dash'' ship), and the player must manoeuvre between dodecahedrons and tesseracts of different colours. Then, the player enters a transition, with their ship control taken away. The screen fades to white, with some minor effects.

* '''48-66%:''' Once the screen has gone white, the white 'wall' covering the screen breaks into cubes, revealing a magenta background with more purple-ish cubes getting created. As the level's title appears on screen letter-by-letter in tune with the piano in the song, the background first pulses to an orangey red when 'W' appears on screen, then it pulses to a more yellow colour for the 'H', then green when the 'A' appears, and then teal (similar to the one used for the background of the first part of Time Machine) when the words 'WHAT' are finished. During all this, the 3D cubes move out, and there is a faded, white outline of the fourth default cube in the game. As the icon goes from a white outline to the normal cube coloured yellow and blue (the colours of it on the ''Geometry Dash'' app icon for all devices), the font of the 'WHAT' text constantly changes, and the background of the part, now black, splits in half to reveal the default background and ground, along with the gameplay for the next part (at least in the low detail version).

WHAT is a 2.1/2.2 Hard level by Spu7Nix, verified by AeonAir[1] and published on 6 October 2023. The level is a spiritual successor to HOW, featuring more elaborate 3D effects produced with external programming.
