Hyper Paracosm is a 2.1 Extreme Demon collaboration level created by ViRuZ and TheRealSneaky, published by ViRuZ and hack-verified by EndLevel on 10 February 2018. Although Sunix was the original verifier, EndLevel beat the level before Sunix could, and TheRealSneaky permitted him to upload it. However, EndLevel did not legitimately verify it after being revealed to be a hacker until Dr. Joe did it legitimately on 4 July 2018. It is an extremely difficult remake of Nine Circles known for its insanely difficult quadruple-speed wave segments.

History

On 8 April 2017, ViRuZ previewed a partially decorated preview of Hyper Paracosm, his Bausha Vortex-inspired Nine Circles levels meant to be slightly harder than Sonic Wave, the #1 Demon at the time.

Months had passed, and the level had gotten little attention. However, in January 2018, TheRealSneaky picked up the level after most likely seeing the video, and he worked on completing the decoration. He posted a full noclip video of his completed version on 26 January 2018. In the video description, he announced that it was set to be verified by Sunix.

On 2 February 2018, Sunix got a new record of 36%. Meanwhile, on 10 February 2018, EndLevel stole the level from Sunix, hack-verifying and uploading it without permission. This action meant Sunix had to shift his progress to EndLevel's uploaded copy.

Eventually, Sunix got one of his worst fails in-game at the time, being a heartbreaking 94%, on 18 February 2018. About three months later, on 14 March 2018, he verified it on a fixed copy a few days after he beat Bloodlust.

After EndLevel was exposed for hacking the level, it was given to Dr. Joe, who verified it on 4 July 2018 after about 22,000 attempts. This version is the current rated ExtremeDemon.

Gameplay

• 0-17%: The level starts with a difficult single-speed cube and later mini-cube section featuring numerous precise orb timings and tight spaces everywhere. Next, the player enters a short yet difficult ship sequence containing numerous orbs and constant gravity-, speed- and size changes. Afterwards, the player enters a short cube section containing some precise timings. An auto cube section with a plethora of gravity- and speed changes follows in preparation for the drop.
• 17-64%: At the drop, the player enters a lengthy and tight wave segment with many saw blades and spikes on the walls that they must manoeuvre around awkwardly. It starts at quadruple-speed but quickly changes to triple-speed and then normal-speed. The player then becomes quadruple-speed and shortly triple-speed mini-wave afterwards. Afterwards are short-length, easier single-speed, half-speed and double-speed sections. After returning to quadruple-speed, the speed gradually slows down to single speed before changing to triple-speed, which transforms into a double-speed dual wave segment. A brief auto quadruple-speed wave leads to another section with awkward speed changes, followed by a triple-speed mini-wave that switches back and forth between mini and normal-size. The player then becomes a single-speed mini-wave, and the speed switches to double and triple-speed quickly before returning to a normal-size wave. An extremely tight but short half-speed wave section follows before a simple triple-speed wave transition turns the player into a robot for a split second, after which they are teleported to the ground as a cube.
• 64-100%: Afterward, the player enters a single-speed cube section consisting of precise timings, numerous triple spikes and a fair amount of orbs and size changes. After the cube is a short mini-ball section, starting with spam and then transitioning into timings with slopes, followed by a ship section requiring a good bit of straight-fly. Partway through the ship, the speed changes to half-speed and then a straight-fly ship with fewer orbs than other parts of the level, but still some orbs appear. After the ship section, there is a single-speed UFO segment consisting of numerous orb timings and gravity changes. A mini-cube spam transition leads to an extremely tight half-speed mini-ship section. A simple mini-cube section follows with a black orb timing and a normal-size triple-spike. The level's end-screen is displayed, with ViruZ and Sneaky's names and 'Hyper Paracosm', 'GG' and 'Verified by Dr. Joe.
