"what would you do with time travel?" People: "I'd go to the past and undo past mistakes!" Others: "I'd go to the future to see what it's like!" Me: "I'd go to the year 2290 to see what happens when we reach 100,000 daily levels. Maybe 2.2 will be out by then, too!"
Don't know why but I really like this "useless" information about GD, and I'd totally love to hear more about some more obscure stuff about GD that I or anyone else wouldn't know
13:10 raises another useless question. If typing swear words on mobile is the only way to get the illegal hyphen character, then what swear words were used in the creation of the level "-sirius-"?
@souljynx damn. so if one demon is around 80 cents, one star is 8 cents. given that he has 202302 stars from the time of this message, he has roughly 16,184 bucks from just stars
13:17 you can also get hyphens in the name by typing the integer limit of 2147483647 and making a copy, as it will try to add one but just add a hyphen. You can continue making copies and it will just keep adding hyphens, and it can even go over the character limit. Would also like to add there are two rated levels (1. Beggining of Time and 2. PolarDream both by xDream) that somehow have periods in the name 14:28 the BPM option used to be used in older versions of the game that would show the bpm for the selected song (this was before custom songs, so I assume this was removed around 1.9?)
Kinda weird that I never had that issue, but it reminds me of how Subzero wouldn’t let me have the second coin in Power Trip; even though I did the coin route (along with getting the other two coins in the same attempt), the achievement for getting all three never popped up.
1:15 I kinda subconsciously figured this one out just by playing a lot of easy demons, they give you 500 orbs total so 400 orbs for a 100% and 4 orbs per percent, which I would notice and then realize.
A fact that you didnt mention is that you can re sync a song to a level by pausing and then continuing. This is really usefull for playing on crappy devices due to lag slowing down the level but not the song.
one more fact: the mini icon depends if you have default mini icon on the menu edit: i have another one : every 500 mana orbs you get, you get a demon key
1:11 I noticed that while playing a 4 star level: I saw that the number of orbs I collected was equal to my percentage, so since the orbs I should have collected by the end of the level was 125, this way I would have collected only 100 orbs, therefore I theorised 1/5 of the orbs was kept for once you finish the level. Then, comparing that with other difficulties I realised I was correct
GD Klonic I'm pretty sure the demons list only cares if it's demon If a new top 1 got rated and everyone rated it easy demon, the list mods would still put it on the list
I think the icon editor is called "the garage" because icons are also known as vehicles, so it would make sense to work on vehicle customizations in the garage.
14:14 Stanley went around typing everything little thing into the code input. But it didn't make a difference, not did it advance the story in any way.
2:15 This part has always bugged me because mixing two colors makes a singular color. You don't say orange is actually colored red because mixing red and yellow makes orange. So it's actually TINTED blue because the ORIGINAL color was yellow, which makes more sense.
But the orange text actually has its color set to orange, like in the code. That is different from the way green usernames are made, where the text itself is still the same color but an overlay is placed on it.
Schools are useless until you reach senior highschool then you can choose your strand, for example STEM and then in college you can pursue a stem field like chemistry or engineering.
For #1, I could see how the daily level and actual daily level have different percentages and you can gain stars from both. It would make sense if gauntlets did something similar too.
@freeeeplay you play any levels that's not made by Rob and you can notice it especially if it uses the blank background. Maybe more noticeable if you edit levels often
15:20 - Also if you use the text object (A) you'll be able to see the Start Pos texture when clicked My theory is that it's the broken Start Pos block that was removed but I could be wrong
More useless things: Before Update 1.4, the ship was only one color. When you unlock a color before 2.0, the color graphic on the achievement unlocked notification window was a square instead of a circle. Also before the same update, the achievement unlocked notification window effect was different. You can expand a gamemode's boundaries by spamming the same portal over and over. The Options menu is different depending on the version you are playing. If you are on mobile, a "Record Replays" option is shown, but in the Steam version, it is replaced with a graphics option. Speaking of replays, you can't see your replays since Everyplay, the recorder, is discontinued, but if you disable Wi-Fi, it will be shown. Before Update 1.9, Electroman Adventures was a Harder level instead of an Insane level. The Music and Sound Options were changed in a few updates. In 1.0 and 1.1, they were Music note and Speaker buttons that toggle the audio on or off. From 1.2 to 1.9, they were check boxes that said "Music" and "SFX". In 2.0 and beyond, the check boxes were replaced with sliders. The original music and sound buttons in the 1.0 update however, are still in the game's files. The BPM button however, IS USED, but until update 1.8 which was replaced by the play test option.
While gaining stars by beating a level, the text in the top right corner that shows how many stars you have will pulse lighter and darker. this is not really seen cause it barely even pulses. not sure why robtop added this function
The fact about the daily level having weeklys in the year 2290, In lot of time after that, daily id will be higher then weekly, so weeklys will start being dailys.
4:30 this is actually important as hell. I have so many levels on mobile so I lost my ability to save data and had to make a completely new account when i got the game in
@cringeconnoisseur6037 see the button to the right of your comment? try clicking that, and you should then see a button labelled "edit" appear. press that.
A note on the blast processing lyrics anyone following Waterflame (the artist) will know he quite often includes old sounding audio. The same can be said for Atom sampler (in the Vast album) which he uses old sounding seemingly educational video while during Dance Off (also in vast) briefly includes the phrase "and now on today's program". I don't know where the original audio for these come from but thought it was interesting anyway.
hey colon! i just went on gd and found something out: if you go onto a level and copy it, then open the level stats, it’ll say it has 0 objects. i tried this with a level you need a pass for (Scarlet Surge) and a level you can just copy straight away (Polychrome) and they both say 0 objects
2:49 I have actually used 1000-1012 before (except for 1008 because that’s an NA channel) and still do so today. And I learned not to use Lighter (1012) as an object’s main color so I wouldn’t freeze my game playing the level. That’s fun. Also, this is a really interesting bit of info.
To be honest that was really interesting. GD has been a big part of my life and you’ve been the first RUclipsr I actually enjoyed watching, and that really pushed that to the maximum level. Hearing about "useless" information about Geometry Dash is actually really fun and entertaining. Hopefully you do this more often

Wait your acully right

💀💀💀
@Dexzler 😨
Colon: Here's some really useless GD information
Also Colon: *proceeds to give useful Level Editor tips*
Finally I could create good level
Cplon i# lisr!!!!!!!
+ the one about copying files
If only I did know about the build helper earlier…
also the extra info hack? that could be useful in a way
I genuinely didn't know about a lot of these. I loved this video LOL
hi there sir
Yeah same
hi technical i love you
thank you technical!!
@GDColon hi mr colon
another useless fact: all buttons in geometry dash haves the bounce out effect when clicked. You can see it better when you hold a button
That’s actually pretty cool, earned a sub
@Grayfang1 thank you 🤩
@Gooberson-h5gnew sub
I ran a test and there's only one button which doesn't have this, and it's the clock by the length of levels when you are in search
@VKTanker the clock isnt a button
"what would you do with time travel?"

Nah bro it's gonna be 2.111111111111111

2.2? Bro already in 5.3:
Nah 2.2 comes in 2621.
I would go to 2014 and make a shitty levels which will go to map packs and everybody will hate me
I could watch Colon talk about “useless” GD info for an entire hour and not get bored. Keep up the great videos!
agreed
agreed

Only an hour? (Jk)
Agreed
Don't know why but I really like this "useless" information about GD, and I'd totally love to hear more about some more obscure stuff about GD that I or anyone else wouldn't know
same my g
Same!
it’s just like fun facts, you wouldn’t be the only one to think the same.
420 👍
yes i would like to see more because some are actually decently useful (like the - scaling so you can make pass-through objects and that filter thing)
The "what the dog doin" at 9:39 is so well hidden. It took me 3 years to even realize it was there.
i heard it immediately
What the dog doin
I don't even play geometry dash but somehow I'm here
go do the dominos or smthng then

hello domino person
look its the domino person from jacksfilms

13:10 raises another useless question. If typing swear words on mobile is the only way to get the illegal hyphen character, then what swear words were used in the creation of the level "-sirius-"?
tried and it didnt work lu
Is funnygame a mobile creator?
@Adrian.422 He most likely typed the level name on mobile then saved his data and loaded it on pc
Most likely the most common ones, like F or S
@Adrian.422 i think he is
14:57 bro looks like an onion ring 💀
LMAO
"na" bro he looks like hes inside an onion ring and used a hifin
8:39 that’s not useles
I just love the sheer level of how messed up the parental controls are in this game. Never change rob, never change
Someone needs to make a mod that makes the parental controls only remove the mappack and doesn't do anything to view levels from player
@ahmed4363 well there are lots of people swearing in the comments to some map pack levels, so blocking that button isn't as stupid as it seems...
@drakonua also manages to post on my profile "like if all map packs are shit"
I ate toast with *jam* today. I like your videos @JamAttack
@elvirareyes8530😅
8:59 remember to do the colon reveal at 1M
WTH
bro is down bad 💀💀💀
Bro will be ded
the WHAT
Colon: “Once you have 100 shards it’s impossible to get more”
Also Colon: Happens to have more than 100 ice and shadow shards
he got them before he had 100 but they went above 100
1:00
np
@teamspacecowarchive it's actually 1:01
You can actually get infinite shards beacause there is a glich when transfering data to different devices
How did he get more
10:40 I immediatly got an Ad after he said that, where are my Orbs?
*10:50*
By that logic, one demon is worth about 80 cents
smiffy millionaire speedrun
@quackerdeezles smiffy has about $3,921.60 in his gd bank account from demons
@souljynx damn. so if one demon is around 80 cents, one star is 8 cents. given that he has 202302 stars from the time of this message, he has roughly 16,184 bucks from just stars
@quackerdeezles That’s actually incredible, and if you could play the game for money, Smiffy and some of the top players would be rich as hell.
@DJSpinSter2004 ikr. im pretty sure cool (2nd in lb) is about to reach 200k lol
this went from "useless" to "Oh my god thank you holy shit I never knew about that and I need to use that"
Fax
13:17 you can also get hyphens in the name by typing the integer limit of 2147483647 and making a copy, as it will try to add one but just add a hyphen. You can continue making copies and it will just keep adding hyphens, and it can even go over the character limit. Would also like to add there are two rated levels (1. Beggining of Time and 2. PolarDream both by xDream) that somehow have periods in the name
14:28 the BPM option used to be used in older versions of the game that would show the bpm for the selected song (this was before custom songs, so I assume this was removed around 1.9?)
I figured out the 2.147 billion bug myself
The button was removed in 1.8, but it didn't work properly in 1.7 once you place a speed portal.
@Xnoob545 we are all so proud of you, good job
You can also use 3 billion or 4 billion if you don’t want to put the exact number.
32 bit integer limit be like

16:21 caught me off guard lmao
Lol
10:36 dude i completely feel this, i have 430 keys and a singular chest that i cannot open
Kinda weird that I never had that issue, but it reminds me of how Subzero wouldn’t let me have the second coin in Power Trip; even though I did the coin route (along with getting the other two coins in the same attempt), the achievement for getting all three never popped up.
@kurtschweser7281 i remember that too 💀
@kurtschweser7281 its rng from what i remember
I also have that bug.
@kurtschweser7281 Try once again
14:27 in earlier versions of the game there were two guideline types and this button was used to disable/enable the blue ones
8:59 we actually got colon reveal before 1M subs
1:15 I kinda subconsciously figured this one out just by playing a lot of easy demons, they give you 500 orbs total so 400 orbs for a 100% and 4 orbs per percent, which I would notice and then realize.
Yes. You can also use it to count the fluke.
Technically it's 4 orbs per % from 1-99 and 104 for 100%
I figured it out by playing MasterGame LMAO
i did too
Sometimes you get 3 or 5 orbs from a % and thats always confused me
9:42 no wonder 2.2 hasn't come out yet bro's busy getting them gains
2.2 is out
@tfrstudio1443wow I didn't know
A fact that you didnt mention is that you can re sync a song to a level by pausing and then continuing. This is really usefull for playing on crappy devices due to lag slowing down the level but not the song.
I did that in my speedhacked footage
I do that all the time
omg this is such an unknown fact i never thought i’d see anyone say it
wait this is unknown
WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT!!!!?????
2:40 marking my calendar 😰
You have a calendar that is in 2290?
@zacjet it’s a joke
Monday, October 6, 2290
100K days from December 21, 2016
11:23 His most hated level Generation Retro
one more fact: the mini icon depends if you have default mini icon on the menu
edit: i have another one : every 500 mana orbs you get, you get a demon key
There's a bug, that spawns a big version of the default small cube and it's cursed as hell.
I thought the 1 demon key per 500 orbs was well known
@JKBDTS True, in fact that completely hellish thing can appear in the main menu.
@Prollan06real That's what I'm saying.
@JKBDTS I thought you talked about spawning that while in a level
1:11 I noticed that while playing a 4 star level: I saw that the number of orbs I collected was equal to my percentage, so since the orbs I should have collected by the end of the level was 125, this way I would have collected only 100 orbs, therefore I theorised 1/5 of the orbs was kept for once you finish the level. Then, comparing that with other difficulties I realised I was correct
Same for demons, but 4 orbs a percent and an extra 100 when beating it. This is how i found out about the 80% 20% thing
>useless information about geometry dash
>look inside
>useful information
>false advertising
I've been playing since 2013 and didn't know a ton of this stuff, awesome video :)
Man I wish I was playing that long, although I know a lot about old versions just cuz I find it interesting
Hi Aerma & Jamattack! Aerma I like your content, and Jamattack, I like your levels!
@JamAttackJAM!
@JamAttack I love home depot
You are a guy.
16:00 this is actually insane and i hope rob doesnt patch this
he's aware of it, dunno if he plans on fixing though
Why are you here
@GDColon hope not because it's cool
Dude you forgot to mention that all newly rated demons are hard demon when rated, and the community changes them
as a veteran player i thought everyone knew this
GD Klonic Slaughterhouse is an Easy Demon
GD Klonic I'm pretty sure the demons list only cares if it's demon
If a new top 1 got rated and everyone rated it easy demon, the list mods would still put it on the list
And a bunch of frickin dumbasses blame RobTop when a level changes it's demon rating!
TopHatical Memes suck, so agree
for ðe first 11 seconds of ðe seven seas you can just hold

I think the icon editor is called "the garage" because icons are also known as vehicles, so it would make sense to work on vehicle customizations in the garage.
Congratulations you added nothing to society through this comment
useless piece of information:i cons are called vehicles
@themetman So did you.
17:30 R.I.P. TECHNOBLADE 🐷 👑
7:14 Good…
I will always hear "get ready to focus up, for the next 3 minutes" in blast processing.
11:43 From now on, I will never unhear that.
i thought it said "cant rifle with to them, but i can deal with it"
Sounds like "Linux, sleep with the dude"
Thanks to me overhearing my kid watching brainrot content, i hear gyatt ready for a lot of fun and excitement
9:47 I have that exact lamp. In my room. I’m in my room. It’s next to me. It’s freaking me out.
HES THE REAL ROBTOP
@tuvsheetuvshee5321 …how did you find out…
SAME LMAO
RIP to my lamp (my family got me a new lamp without me knowing about a month ago)
Rip sexy lamp @TigerTask3
15:37 He admitted that something was useful lmao
Srsly tho good video!
NOOOO
@GDColon Apologies my good sir, but it was still a great video!
Dont forget the Colon reveal at 1 million subscribers
:
@ronity123 noo no no no no no no no no no.
🤨🤨
Man all of this guy's vids are too tier good in both editing and humor
Yes
8:34 actual galaxy brain
u will always be the most legendary kitsune this game will ever have 🦊
16:26 my PE teacher is called Kevin MacLeod lol
Same person???
14:45 look at this dude
14:14 Stanley went around typing everything little thing into the code input. But it didn't make a difference, not did it advance the story in any way.
The amount of knowledge you possess is simply incredible
He’s a big brained fox boi
11:09 yes, thats correct, kids shouldnt see map packs
Wait until the kids figure out how to mod gd
2:15 This part has always bugged me because mixing two colors makes a singular color. You don't say orange is actually colored red because mixing red and yellow makes orange. So it's actually TINTED blue because the ORIGINAL color was yellow, which makes more sense.
But the orange text actually has its color set to orange, like in the code.
That is different from the way green usernames are made, where the text itself is still the same color but an overlay is placed on it.
7:11
so maybe 2.2 is taking so long because robtop is making sure it stays like that.
GD Colon is the type of person to make useless information actually kinda useful.
11:44 i always heard "get ready for a lot of fun, and extreme with it"
Not useless at all, I'm going to send this to my friend who just joined GD community a while ago
GD Colon: *gives us useless info*
Schools: look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our uselessnes
Schools are useless until you reach senior highschool then you can choose your strand, for example STEM and then in college you can pursue a stem field like chemistry or engineering.
lmao
But difference is, is that colon made it well, and for the right audience
@N0N.o Yep, this is true.
SCHOOL IS NOT USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
13:06 i love how cataclysm has question mark after its name
9:34 Everything anyone ever needs to know about RobTob
16:29 everybody wanna be a superstar
How'd you get a like from the creator 1 year later 💀
Idk 💀
10:05 - also, the XL length could be otained with just a level length of 1.30 instead of 2 minutes
For #1, I could see how the daily level and actual daily level have different percentages and you can gain stars from both. It would make sense if gauntlets did something similar too.
THIS IS THE BILLION TIMES I WATCHED THIS VIDEO WHYYY
4:48 ah yes
useless information
Wow! all of this info was so useless. thank you colon! (i have definitely seen the video)
^
usefulless
17:18 you can play demons in world by putting the level in a folder in the main game, then saving and loading your account data
If you have the full game why would you play gdw?
@alex_legend3244 cause you may have the full game on Steam but not on mobile
I thought the blast processing voice was saying "get ready to fun, medic sleepment."
fun fact: the background on the main menu is the background of the most recent level you played! (figured it out myself)
You only noticed this now???
Bruv
thought everyone knew this. but you might not have known that it also changes the ground on the level select menu
@GDColon oh yeah right lol i just thought not many people knew since ive never heard it mentioned
@GDColon I've literally never knew this was a thing-
@freeeeplay you play any levels that's not made by Rob and you can notice it especially if it uses the blank background. Maybe more noticeable if you edit levels often
11:10 someone needs to make a mod that allows this to do the same thing without disabling the view levels button
The "BPM" button was actually used in older versions of the game. It allowed you to Enable/Disable the main song BPM lines in the editor
16:19 deltarune lmao
me when i see a watercooler:
15:20 - Also if you use the text object (A) you'll be able to see the Start Pos texture when clicked
My theory is that it's the broken Start Pos block that was removed but I could be wrong
oh hello there
oh ho ho ho trust me the start pos block lore is deeper than you think
@GDColon aparently it was meant to be the end level trigger before it was added in 2.2
@GDColon please do iceberg chart thing video on start pos
If u change the font while having a text selected the green color of selection dissapears
Colon: "Useless geometry dash information"
also Colon: this is USEFUL for centering things.
More useless things:
Before Update 1.4, the ship was only one color.
When you unlock a color before 2.0, the color graphic on the achievement unlocked notification window was a square instead of a circle.
Also before the same update, the achievement unlocked notification window effect was different.
You can expand a gamemode's boundaries by spamming the same portal over and over.
The Options menu is different depending on the version you are playing. If you are on mobile, a "Record Replays" option is shown, but in the Steam version, it is replaced with a graphics option.
Speaking of replays, you can't see your replays since Everyplay, the recorder, is discontinued, but if you disable Wi-Fi, it will be shown.
Before Update 1.9, Electroman Adventures was a Harder level instead of an Insane level.
The Music and Sound Options were changed in a few updates.
In 1.0 and 1.1, they were Music note and Speaker buttons that toggle the audio on or off.
From 1.2 to 1.9, they were check boxes that said "Music" and "SFX".
In 2.0 and beyond, the check boxes were replaced with sliders. The original music and sound buttons in the 1.0 update however, are still in the game's files.
The BPM button however, IS USED, but until update 1.8 which was replaced by the play test option.

@megaturtle9547 it's too late for that bro.
@cringeconnoisseur6037 wait does the heart thing disappear when the comment is edited
@megaturtle9547 yes :(
When he joked about the “colon reveal” i wholeheartedly believe that the video will just be a 3 second video of the punctuation colon.
3 seconds of :
A note on the blast processing lyrics anyone following Waterflame (the artist) will know he quite often includes old sounding audio. The same can be said for Atom sampler (in the Vast album) which he uses old sounding seemingly educational video while during Dance Off (also in vast) briefly includes the phrase "and now on today's program". I don't know where the original audio for these come from but thought it was interesting anyway.
hey colon! i just went on gd and found something out:
if you go onto a level and copy it, then open the level stats, it’ll say it has 0 objects. i tried this with a level you need a pass for (Scarlet Surge) and a level you can just copy straight away (Polychrome) and they both say 0 objects
16:39 I think rob played hill climb racing for that one year between it and geometry dash's release
2:49 I have actually used 1000-1012 before (except for 1008 because that’s an NA channel) and still do so today. And I learned not to use Lighter (1012) as an object’s main color so I wouldn’t freeze my game playing the level. That’s fun. Also, this is a really interesting bit of info.
14:07 *”like that’s ever gonna happen”*
It did
@Elfilinfan yay
16:18 The original jumpscare, before the job applications.
*For those just wanting to know about 2.2, here ya go* - 2:39
34 dectated by 1e4900?
To be honest that was really interesting. GD has been a big part of my life and you’ve been the first RUclipsr I actually enjoyed watching, and that really pushed that to the maximum level. Hearing about "useless" information about Geometry Dash is actually really fun and entertaining. Hopefully you do this more often
Bro knows everything about robtop
9:35 bro almost fully doxxed Robtop in less than 30 seconds💀🙏
8:40 is the best part
17:27 You just made me realize robtop could probably ratio the white house twitter account considering half their tweets never pass 2k likes
ratio
@tygical no
@tygical no
i wasn't actually trying to ratio them i just thought it would be funny to say ratio
i literally liked their comment
15:25 i was looking for that for months lol
he finished at 17:42 illegal
