Geometry Dash's Most MYSTERIOUS Gamemode...

I want to solve the mystery behind Geometry Dash's most infamous gamemode... For years no one has known the true origin of the Swing Copter found in the GD Main Level Dash, the Swing has origins in many Top 1 levels such as the Extreme Demons Bloodlust, Plasma Pulse Finale, and Yatagarasu. Watch all the way through, because you WILL NOT want to miss this one...

[@cyaneon5052]

fun fact: i added the mirror portal at the beginning so that you can hold your phone upright and it'll be like playing the actual swing copters game

[@MatMart]

I'll pin this comment assuming its you for now, I'm not sure how you found this video so fast for a veteran player and your channel seems purged of content so I can't tell if its you but if it is you I'm honored that you've checked out the video. I know Update 2.0 and especially the modern 2.2 editor seems overwhelming but if you ever do return I'd be hyped to see any new levels you make :V

[@cyaneon5052]

​@@MatMart​ LOL no worries, it was just lucky and funny timing. i was showing my friend what lobotomy dash levels looked like, and when i was done i saw that some people left a comment on my level saying that they came from this video. i never really thought much of swing copters until now, since in my eyes all i did was make the connection that "hey, this funny dual ball gameplay looks like swing copters" while i was messing around with the new dual portals. i did have a feeling that i was the first to create something unique back then because i also did a search for the name "swing copters" and all of them didn't make use of the dual ball mechanic, but seeing it tentatively confirmed like this is really cool :))

[@the711devin4]

Interestingly, the wave was originally referred to as the “Dart” in the icon kit. However, this was a while after the wave was released, as you couldn’t customize waves in 1.9. After seeing that the community had agreed on it being called “The wave”, the in-game name was changed accordingly.

[@NotShard1]

honestly the new swing is pretty good. If he directly copied the physics from the duel ball swing, it wouldn’t be necessary to make the gamemode. Besides, if you want better physics for the swing you can use the gravity trigger.

[@Subscribenow882]

Shut up matfart your channel is cringe lol

it'd still be necessary, given that you can't have the swing in free mode or dual mode, but yeah im with you.

1:14 robtop initially called it the dart but changed it to wave because everyone kept calling it wave

[@bedrocklolgame]

Yeah judging from the vehicle itself, it makes sense to call it a dart. But the movement says otherwise. Glad Rob renamed it.

[@ShivermistGD]

POV: A new matmart video drops (its gonna be a banger)

[@shenna1976-kb7vl]

Fun Fact: the UFO's origin is actually aliens reaching out to Robala Topala to not use anything similar to their UFO's that they had, and Robala Topala thought "oh yeah aliens ain't real probs just a 1 yr old" and makes the UFO's.

[@logannolen2709]

Just think of it like this, if the swingcopter wasnt floaty and didnt have that turning animation that makes the gameplay so precise sometimes, if the swingcopter just turned instantly it would be nearly impossible to straght fly with it because you would have to spam your mind out, and its ectremely likely there will be swingcopeter straght fly gamplay in upcoming 2.2 extreme demons

7:41 WHY IS THE UFO SO UNLIKED ITS MY FAVORITE GAMEMODE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zhwzhwpwqhz]

Probably because people don't sync it on easier levels. And that's well... because they are easier levels. I used to hate it but after making a clicksync layout I started to love it.

[@rapid1145]

Mostly because like the cube,it is not much by ITSELF(without portal,orbs,pads etc) But even more likely is because people suck in ufo gameplay

MatMart, as a 2 dollar cube game historian you should know that the bird was called the bird and implemented in the game before flappy bird actually became popular, so its instead a case of parallel thinking. (Stormfly mentioned this in the video where the community ranked gamemodes, and it makes much more sense to most people)

[@MatMart]

i disagree cause I dont see why else Robtop would call a unidentified flying object a "bird" robtop could've known about flappy bird before it became extremely viral regardless

[@forg6256]

​@@MatMartIt would have been inspired from the profit bird power-up from Jetpack Joyride, which came years before Flappy Bird but controls the same way.
