****Cadrega City**** is a 2.0/2.1 Extreme Demon created by Pennutoh and verified by Sunix. It is seemingly a remake of Kurumi City but features several more difficult timings and several straight fly sections.

## History

Cadrega City was first revealed to the public when Pennutoh released a preview of it on October 10, 2016, showcasing a fairly large section of the already completed decoration and gameplay. In the video description, he stated that the level is inspired by Kurumi City. Twenty days later on October 30, Pennutoh released the second preview of the level, showcasing a difficult swing-copter section. A month later on November 26, he released the third and final preview of the level, showcasing the last 30% of the level and a half-finished mixed dual section.

On August 10, 2017, Sunix achieved 50% on Cadrega City. In the video description, he explained that Berke423 dropped the level since he has college work, and he asked Sunix to verify it instead.

On September 2, 2017, Sunix finally verified Cadrega City in 4,920 attempts. In the video description, he stated that it is around Top 5 in difficulty, possibly higher.

## Gameplay

* **0-10%:** The level starts with a cube section containing two extended triple jumps, a Low Detail Mode key with a joke text written under it saying "Scarier than the spikes, honestly", and two more jumps into a ball portal and a small segment with a single orb and a few gravity portals. Then comes a ship part leading to more gravity portals showing up, and then a stream of size portals taking the player forward. The player goes back to cube form for a more lengthy timing section with jump orbs, size portals and gravity portals all present.
* **11-21%:** Another stream of portals pushes the player forward into a wave part fairly reminiscent of that in Death Moon. Various portals play a big factor here as well, and the part goes into a dual-mode at the end too. The dual switches to cube and keeps going with confusing gameplay as one of them transform into a ship just before a cube with three timing jumps takes the player onward and the song hits its first drop.
* **22-35%:** The drop part begins with a fast straight ship section with two gravity portals and a size portal stream after that. It goes to a ball part with hard timings to get through in order to reach the next stream of size portals transitioning into the upcoming UFO. The UFO's gameplay focuses mostly on difficult timings with gravity portals, and the ship part afterward holds a lot of size and gravity portals in the way for the player to adapt to, all while avoiding small chunks of spikes all over the place.
* **36-55%:** After this is a small dual cube maze which rapidly goes big as the top cube turns into a UFO requiring good synergy between the two sides. Coming up next is a mini swing copter with very tight spaces and three blue jump orbs at the end placed to take the player to the long cube section up next. This mini cube contains tons of different types of orbs to time well, and later, a few gravity portals show up before a quick auto, a bit more timing gameplay, and then a lengthy auto section in order to prepare for the slow ball section up next.
* **56-61% (?):** The drop part begins with a fast straight flying section with two gravity portals and a size portal stream leading to a ball segment with difficult timings to get through in order to reach the next stream of size portals transitioning into the upcoming UFO. The UFO's gameplay focuses mostly on difficult timings with gravity portals, and the ship afterward holds a lot of size and gravity portals in the way for the player to adapt to, all while avoiding small chunks of spikes all over the place. After this is a small dual cube maze that rapidly goes big as the top cube turns into a UFO requiring good synergy between the two sides.
* **62-70% (?):** Coming up next is a mini swing copter section with very tight spaces and three blue jump orbs at the end placed to take the player to the long cube section up next. This mini cube section contains tons of different types of orbs to time well, and later, a few gravity portals show up before a quick auto, a bit more timing gameplay, and then a lengthy auto section in order to prepare for the half-speed ball section up next.
* **71-85%:** The mini ship turns into a wave at triple speed with incredibly tight spaces and gravity/size portals scattered throughout as well. It then goes into a flying section with gravity portals placed to the beat of the song. Two pink orbs as a cube also sync to the song and take the cube to the following UFO segment. A cube part is next which is filled with jumps and orbs as well as a gameplay shift to a robot and back in the middle, followed by a UFO with two pink orbs comes next and shows a chair art lighting up to the song.
* **86-94%:** After that comes a dual cube which both quickly after transformation change to a ship (top) and a UFO (bottom) respectively before they become a robot and ship duo. They then both go back to dual cube for a moment and then switch up the gameplay to B/c, u/sh, and dual ball very closely packed together. More tricky dual gameplay comes after that with a dual ball and wave which then turns into a normal wave and mini-wave for a second.
* **95-100%:** Then, just before the last segment, it goes to dual cube to reach the final straight fly with gravity portals placed to the song tempo which is then followed up with the end art, "Cadrega City", "GG", and credits to some players being shown as the level ends.

### User Coins

* **User Coin 1:** At 4%, the first coin is available if the player goes through a slightly harder route under the normal one.
* **User Coin 2:** At 52%, if the player clicks while midair, invisible portals will take the player to the second coin and then to the normal route.
* **User Coin 3:** At 80%, the third coin is contained and can be collected by avoiding two blue jump orbs and taking a lower but tighter path to a short straight fly section.

## Trivia

* "Cadrega" is Spanish for a cadre, which is a group of people specialized in a specific profession.
* "Cadrega" is a variant of the Latin word "*cathedra*", which essentially means a seat.
* Many people generally dislike this level due to the slow and unenjoyable gameplay.
* A pixelated picture of Gerry Scotti can be seen at the ending.
