Kappaclysm
Kappaclysm is a 1.9/2.1 Harder level created in collaboration by Glittershroom and Evasium. It is the fourth level of the Chaos Gauntlet and the first level of the Blade Pack, being the only level to appear in both gauntlets and map packs, with its rewards able to be earned twice.
Description
The gameplay is mostly based on Cataclysm. It starts with a simple half-speed cube section. An easy normal-speed ball segment follows. Just before the drop of the song, a short wave with decoration inspired by the final wave in Cataclysm is played. Then a short ship section that proceeds through a mini-portal into a section inspired by the short wave segment following the first ship in the original level. A moderately difficult UFO part that plays and is decorated very similarly to the previous part follows. After this, a short double-speed cube section that becomes half-speed partway through.
A short ship section akin to the original level's first then plays. A nerfed version of the mini cube halfway through the original follows, with the following ball and UFO parts being similar. The mini ship also plays as a nerfed version of the section it was inspired by. After this, a wave part based on the original's iconic final wave plays. The rest of the level plays almost identically to Cataclysm, with the text "Evasium" and "Glittershroom" written before the player passes over the "GG" from the original.

Trivia
- This is one of four gauntlet levels to be made before Update 2.0, along with Fire Aura from the Lava Gauntlet, Scarlet Surge from the Chaos Gauntlet, and Death Moon from the Cursed Gauntlet.
- The name is a portmanteau of Kappa, a Twitch emote that is an internet meme, and Cataclysm, the level it is based on.
- RobTop commented on this level, saying, "Can you handle the Kappa?"
- Before being upgraded to 6 stars for its inclusion in the Chaos Gauntlet, the level was originally rated 5 stars.
- Blade, a level by PotatoBaby, was originally the fourth level in the gauntlet, making Kappaclysm the third position of the gauntlet, and Scarlet Surge the second position in the gauntlet. However, PotatoBaby requested RobTop to remove Blade from the gauntlet due to it being too hard, making Kappaclysm the fourth position in the gauntlet, and replacing Blade with Drippy Dub.
