Secret coins[]

The first secret coin is located at 14% and collected as the cube. After hitting the underside of the four yellow blocks, the last red block's eyes will glow green. Hit its underside which will shift the coin upwards from being submerged in lava where it can be collected by jumping.
The second secret coin is located at 37% and collected as the swing. In an orange electricity field corridor, there is one electricity field with a pink outline. Swing upwards through the highlighted electricity field while moving upwards, which will reveal the coin. Swing through and down again to return to the main route.
The third secret coin is located at 68% and collected as the ship. When the '1' is collected and the cube forms into a flying orb, input 6 clicks, indicated by the orb flashing orange, and the coin will be revealed at the start of the ship section.

Trivia[]

Dash is the second main level to not use a previously used form, as it does not contain a UFO section, the first being Fingerdash which has no Ball section.
- Ironically, as demonstrated by the famous Geometry Dash YouTuber "EricVanWilderman" in one of his videos, the UFO game mode is the only game mode to be able to be used to complete the entire level if you were to only use one game mode and remove the portals which change the gamemode.^[1]
In the beta version of the level, the sideways spider sequence was originally going to be a normal spider part, but was changed in the final release for unknown reasons.
- Additionally, in the sneak peek, the blocks the player is required to hit had no purpose, as the spiked ceiling at 12% did not lower. In addition, there were two additional yellow blocks, with the third and sixth blocks eventually being removed.
- Also in the sneak peek, the second ball part after the first robot part used to be a sideways ball part, but was changed for unknown reasons.
It is difficult but possible to fly under the robot portal at 75%, allowing the player to play the following robot section in ship mode. However, they will get stuck on a wall, preventing them from completing the level. Despite this, the progress bar will still increase because it is time-based instead of position-based.
It is possible to skip the hidden cube portal in the transition at 83% with a well timed robot jump as the transition occurs. This allows for a tricky robot jump between a set of spikes and a yellow pad at 89% to skip the remainder of the level.
Dash is one of the two levels to feature a song created exclusively for the game, the other being Geometrical Dominator. Prior to its release, the level's music was referred to as the "secret song" by its creator MDK.
Dash's soundtrack is actually titled Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash Official Theme Song, or Geometry Dash Theme Song^[2], making it the fifth level with a name different from its soundtrack title.
- The release version of Geometry Dash Theme Song is a completely remixed version of the full song, although a full version of the in-game song can be found in the Music Library under the name Dash Full.^[3]
Dash is the fourth level to end under the effects of a speed portal, the first being Electrodynamix, second being Hexagon Force, and third being Theory of Everything 2.
Dash is the first level to not finish with the icon colliding against a finishing wall.
In the sneak peek, just after the part where the player crashed, you could see that the ball part had a 90 degree gravity change, but there is none in the final.
Dash has the shortest name out of any main level, with only 4 characters.
Dash takes 96 seconds to complete and requires a minimum of 83 jumps.
