Level is a composition of polygons, pictures and objects that form a playable area for the kuski. Levels are usually made in the editor, but there are also other tools for that, such as ALE. A level has always a start object and at least one exit object. The level can also contain a limited number of apples and killers.

New players sometimes call levels "tracks" or "maps", but map usually means the minimap found in lower corners of the ingame playing screen and "track" makes no sense, as levels in Elasto Mania are dynamic and don't really have tracks.

All external levels are stored in Elma\Lev folder, and they have .lev extension. Some of the levels may have been saved as locked, meaning that they could never be edited again, but the newer Elma versions can edit locked levels, too.
