Crafted by Serponge and crowned Best Demon Megacollab at the 2020 Geometry Dash Awards, CastleMania isn’t just a level—it’s a labyrinthine epic. Dive into a sprawling gothic fortress where every corridor hides secrets, traps, and bosses that’ll test your reflexes and your nerve. Ready to conquer this 2XL?

Controls Simplified
Jump/Fly Up: Tap SPACE or Left Mouse Button (timing is survival).

Unravel the Castle’s Twisted Layers
This isn’t a linear grind—it’s a choose-your-path nightmare. Start in a misty jungle, then breach the castle walls to explore 21 distinct zones, each dripping with atmosphere:

  • Main Hall: Glide past chandeliers and rotating blade traps.

  • Sinking Sewers: Dodge rising sludge and spike-coated gears.

  • Crystal Caves: Leap between fragile platforms that crack underfoot.

  • Clocktower: Race against a collapsing tower while battling the final boss.

Every route boasts unique visuals: flickering torches in the Catacombs, stained-glass hues in the White Church, and eerie whispers in the Haunted Hall.

Boss Battles That Demand Precision
Survive the traps? Now face the Four Guardians of the Castle:

  1. Ossgus (Prison): This mini-boss chases you with spiked chains—outpace him or get impaled.

  2. Altus (Deepest Depths): A fallen prince summoning laser-shooting minions and homing skulls. Destroy him to claim a hidden coin.

  3. Death (Clocktower): The Grim Reaper himself. His scythe swings create shockwaves, and his “blindness curse” blacks out the screen. Listen for audio cues to dodge.

  4. Charta (Painting Alley): A sentient tome hurling fireballs and explosive pages. Defeat him to unlock the cryptic Library Path.

Secrets & Replayability
CastleMania’s genius lies in its multiple endings and hidden routes:

  • Discover alternate paths by hitting invisible triggers or defeating bosses under 10 seconds.

  • Collect 3 devilish coins to access the True Ending—a brutal gauntlet in the Exterior Path.

  • Master “shortcuts” like the Hidden Pipeways, but beware: faster routes often mean deadlier traps.

Why It’s a Masterpiece

  • Atmosphere: The soundtrack shifts from orchestral synth-wave tension, syncing with each zone’s mood.

  • Design Depth: Over 200,000 objects create seamless transitions (jungle → castle → void).

  • Community Legacy: Ranked among Geometry Dash’s most replayable Demons, alongside icons like Aftermath and The Nightmare.
