Gauntlets

Gauntlets, formally titled The Lost Gauntlets, are a feature of Geometry Dash, introduced in Update 2.1. A gauntlet is comprised of a selection of five user levels of similar difficulty, which must be completed sequentially in order to receive rewards of collectables including diamonds and shards of power, as well as an icon colour, in addition to standard level rewards of stars and user coins.

Description
The gauntlets consist of a series of levels that pertain to the gauntlet's theme. Upon entering The Lost Gauntlets, the player will see a menu consisting of the name of the gauntlet, the image of it, the number that shows the player how many levels are completed and how many are left to complete, and the chest the player can unlock upon its completion. After selecting the gauntlet the player proceeds to a map, wherein only the first level is playable by default. With each level's completion, the next level is unlocked, until the player has conquered the last level. Once all 5 levels are completed, the player can open the gauntlet's respective chest to receive their reward.

Trivia

 * Although the feature was released with Update 2.1, it was not until February 5th, 2017 that the first gauntlets were released.
 * However, each gauntlet will be released periodically, thus all of the gauntlets will be released over a span of more than 1 day.
 * From the pattern that can be seen under Gauntlets' Release Dates, it can be assumed that two gauntlets will be released each day, starting February 5th and ending upon the release of every gauntlet.
 * The Creature prompts the player to free them from its cage by unlocking the three locks; one of the locks is unlocked by a key that is acquired by beating the Chaos Gauntlet.
 * The first 6 gauntlets are based on the Shards of Power.
 * The gauntlets are very similar to map packs; the only differences are there being 5 levels instead of 3, and the player receives a chest instead of a coin.
 * The gauntlet's design is similar to the worlds in Geometry Dash World — five levels are in each gauntlet/area, and must be completed in order.
 * RobTop changed the order of the levels in the Ice and Fire Gauntlets 1 day after their release, making the levels only increase in difficulty.
 * This is because of the confusion regarding Magmatic Sanctuary, being the first and apparent hardest; and Skyward, being the last level and deemed "easiest" level of the Ice Gauntlet.
