 Do you remember the 1.9?, A great update that had incredible levels. MC Mashup (1.9/2.1) with 18 creators. Original song on my YT channel.

****Idols**** is a 2.1 Extreme Demon mega-collaboration hosted by Zafkiel and verified by Dorami (calling it a "legendary Extreme Demon"). The level is made as a tribute to 1.9, referred to by many players as "The Golden Age". It is a decorated version of an XL layout by Herdys, having 256,500 objects. The level remains popular due to its great music sync, fun gameplay, and awesome design. It currently sits on the Legacy List on the Demon List.

## History

On December 4, 2017, Herdys released a video showcasing an XL Insane Demon layout he recently built. It became well-received for its fun gameplay and great sync, and thus motivated ZafkielGD to host a fully decorated version with 18 creators, and also hosted a CC to get some unknown creators into the mix.

In March, FarDreamer posted a montage of the near-finished level, which caused more people to look into it.

In August, sometime after Dorami returned, he picked up the finished version of the level to verify. He got 43% and 96%, but on August 18, 2018, he verified it, being the hardest demon in his first comeback month (which is why he called it "legendary").
