Bausha Vortex is a 2.0/2.1 solo Extreme Demon level created and published by Pennutoh and verified by Jakercut. It is an extremely difficult Nine Circles-styled level and features a vast amount of crucial timings, invisible portals, and moving obstacles. Due to this, the level is considered to be harder than Down Bass. Unlike most Nine Circles remakes, this one features a unique effect, found only in a few remakes, which is a typical electro-styled level, hence the nickname "Electric Circles."

Gameplay

The level starts with a difficult cube section that mostly consists of gravity changes and difficult timings. A Low-Detail Mode key (referred to as "Lag Killer" in the level) is found here.

Next, the player enters a very difficult double-speed ship sequence. The background design is the same as during the ship part in the original Nine Circles. However, it utilizes moving. There is also 2.0 decoration followed by a confusing cube section which ultimately focuses on memory due to the amount of fake lining, portals, and jump pads throughout the part. After this part, the gravity changes, and the words: "GOOD LUCK!" can be seen.

The most difficult part of the level, the drop, starts. It features the famous epileptic wave mode utilized by most Nine Circles levels, along with a custom background. (Assuming that the Lag Killer is not activated.) This wave part contains extremely tight spaces and almost all of the slopes have spiky thorns on top of them. There are also sudden speed changes, dual portals, and fake paths. The wave segment also features a ball/wave mixed dual inspired by an unrated Nine Circles level called Fox Circles.

The last part of the level is a cube segment, which mostly contains triple spikes. Some of the spikes here are moving, designed to confuse the player to add difficulty to this part.

Then, the level ends with a short ball segment featuring the words: "BAUSHA VORTEX VERIFIED BY Temporum."
