* A screaming spider icon that can be found in the Treasure Room has become quite popular among the community for its overly comedic look. The robot obtained for collecting 35 Fire Shards and the cube obtained for opening 100 chests have also received similar treatment.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II-aLJwlevA TrusTa in a nutshell]][[labelnote:Explanation]][=TrusTa=], the verifier of [[ThatOneLevel Yatagarasu]], gave the level a few slight nerfs to get the level out faster.

* At 100% speed, does this look possible to you?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Back in 2015, [=YouTuber=] [=TheMuteTroll=] made a video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op_BdUabxlg "Geometry Dash [=YouTubers=]: Skilled or Hackers?"]] in which one piece of evidence he used to support his claims of [=YouTubers hacking=] was a clip of at the time popular player Noobas completing a once infamously difficult wave section in the level [="DeCode"=]. While this evidence was quite damning back then, nowadays, [=DeCode=] is considered a fairly easy demon and completing the wave is not a particularly impressive achievement, so using this as evidence of hacking in retrospect is amusing.[[/labelnote]]
* Check Steam[[labelnote:Explanation]][=RobTop=] allegedly said this on a Twitch stream just as update 2.1 was released. It resurfaced following the announcement of update 2.2's release window, with many players using the quote to deliver false news about 2.2's release. There's even a [[https://youtu.be/C8OfqwccsgE rated level]] named "Check Steam".

He takes a break shortly after to discuss "The Challenge", [[https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxD9C0TfIkESa911n_7u-n-tVARaonI7pM only for the gameplay to be suddenly replaced by the aforementioned spider part.]] Shortly after the video's release, it became popular in the community to recreate the spider part in the style of other Geometry Dash levels.[[/labelnote]]
* Devil Vortex Saws[[labelnote:Explanation]]In 2018, Npesta uploaded a video accusing [=ToshDeluxe=] of hacking his verification of Rustam's level "Devil Vortex". One piece of "evidence" used by Npesta was a seemingly-random alignment of sawblades placed near the top of the level (when viewed in the editor). Although Tosh would later disprove Npesta's claims, recreations of the sawblades have become very popular in the years that followed, especially on r/[=GeometryDash=].[[/labelnote]]
* The Limbo keys/"FOCUS"[[labelnote:Explanation]]LIMBO is an extreme demon level that places heavy emphasis on memorization. This culminates in the end segment, where you have to play a memory game and track one specific key out of eight as they shuffle around (while at the same time trying not to die during a Wave segment). The arrangement of the keys in conjunction with the accompanying music ("Isolation" by [=Nighthawk22=]) and text ("FOCUS") became very popular among the Geometry Dash community, and Limbo keys have been recreated in other games.[[/labelnote]]
* I just found this drawing that I did when I had 6 or 7 and I’ve been crying everytime I see the normal difficulty,[[labelnote:Explanation]]A tweet of [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/683/289/0cb.jpg a set of drawings of the difficulty icons]] became quite popular in late 2023, mainly due to the StylisticSuck nature of the Normal face.[[/labelnote]]
* FIRE IN THE HOLE![[labelnote:Explanation]]This line was used by [=RobTop=] in the third sneak peek for update 2.2 to demonstrate the SFX trigger's pitch-shifting functions. He would later use it during the vertical lift section in The Tower's Sewers. It has since become a popular ironic sound effect in Geometry Dash-related shitposting, such as the lobotomy levels mentioned below. It is often related to the Normal difficulty face, due to the lobotomy levels.[[/labelnote]]
** Lobotomy levels[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's become a notable trend to use the new features 2.2's editor brings to the table to create variants of the official or user-made Geometry Dash levels with lobotomy in the name, typically filled with absurd sounds, imagery, and setpieces. Expect to see a lot of difficulty icons as well.[[/labelnote]]
** FEET[[labelnote:Explanation]]A sound effect that, like "Fire in the hole!" above, is frequently used in lobotomy levels. This sound can be done by taking the "Defeat" sound and setting the starting position strategically so that only "feet" can be heard.[[/labelnote]]
** Water on the hill [[labelnote:Explanation]]An opposite version of "Fire in the Hole", associated with the Easy face.[[/labelnote]]
