Using the Editor for Practice & Learning

Geometry Dash's editor lets you place user coins for level verification and learning. Master secret coin routes in levels like Clutterfunk and Deadlocked.

Secret coins, introduced in Update 1.6, are found within main levels and map packs across all Geometry Dash games. While you don't need to collect all three in one attempt, crashing before the level's end means losing any collected coins. Once successfully acquired, they appear as white outlines on subsequent attempts and cannot be collected in practice mode. These coins are essential for unlocking icons, achievements, and Demon difficulty main levels.

The level editor allows for the placement of up to three user coins. For a level to be verified, these coins must be collectible. When a user level containing user coins is submitted, their color initially appears as 'b' (details on color not fully provided in source).

Many secret coin routes in levels released before Update 1.6 use objects that were not available during their initial release. For example, the second coin of Back On Track, the third coin of Cant Let Go, and the third coin of Time Machine all utilize unintroduced pads or orbs.

Specific secret coin locations:

• Clutterfunk:
  • The first secret coin is at 31%, collected as the ship. Fly carefully above the fourth and fifth obstacles by the ceiling after passing the first obstacle.
  • The second secret coin is at 65%, collected as the ship. After the ship returns to normal size and passes the second gravity portal, bypass the third gravity portal by flying over a saw-blade and through a gap in the column. Fly over another saw-blade to enter the fourth gravity portal.
  • The third secret coin is at 86%, collected as the cube. After the first three-step structure and hitting the jump pad, hit the first two jump orbs, the jump pad, and the third jump orb, missing the fourth. This will cause you to fall to line platforms separated by saw-blades. Immediately jump continuously to collect the coin by the second line platform, hitting the gravity orb after jumping from the third line platform to return to the main route.
• Deadlocked:
  • At 9%, you can use the fake yellow orb to land on the platform instead of the blue orb and pad.
  • There are three ways to collect the second coin:
    • Intended way: Go through the secret path, jump with little boost to the coin's platform, land on a fading block, and jump from it to continue. You can also jump at the very end of the platform with full boost, going over the fading block.
    • Buffer green orb: Buffer the green orb to land the robot on the platform early, then instantly jump with full boost to brush past and acquire the coin. This makes jumping over invisible spikes slightly harder.
    • Normal path: Go up the normal path (over the secret path) and make a tiny jump from the center of the platform to collect the coin.
