Why It Rocks

 * 1) The premise of the players ride a elevator to seek many different funny, strange, scary, weird and wacky floors is very original.
 * 2) Each floor will contain references to the other media, like movies and shows, for example: Moto Moto with noob skin is a reference to Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
 * 3) Once a floor is finished, you earn a coin, finishing more floors will grant you more coins which let you buy items at the shop.
 * 4) Several floors have minigames, such as a chicken eating contest and a basketball game.
 * 5) Lots of awesome floors.
 * 6) In private servers, you have ability to control the elevator, which let's you do any floor you like.
 * 7) Lots of badges you can earn, such as "Spooked" where whenever the time hits 13, the elevator stops and the bodies start messing around.
 * 8) Introduces the first artifact created named "JOSH", appears to be a wooden doll. He can be bought from the artifact shop. When used with any "god" near he can speak or emit sounds that appear to be "RAGA GAGA YAGA". He will also light up in the color of the nearby "god". However, in the Snoop floor, he will light up white and will also say "RAGA GAGA YAGA" when clicked. And this item can be used to complete The Three Gods easter egg.
 * 9) The soundtrack includes copyrighted music, though some songs from older versions have been removed.
 * 10) Before the remaster update, Gavin's Story is really fun and scary, and it did tell the story of what happened to Gavin, before he committed suicide in the Jason floor.
 * 11) On the topic of Gavin, he is a very threatening character.
 * 12) There are even NPC's as well, such as creators like NowDoTheHarlemShake and fictional characters like David Pumpkins.
 * 13) The Big Cheese Floor, depending on your view, eventually caused later "Normal Elevator-like" games to also include the similar enemy or use a different Cog from Toontown or have at least one Toontown Online/Rewritten shout-out.
 * 14) Additionally, this game also started a sub-genre of Roblox games being "Elevator games", where players ride a elevator to seek many different funny, strange, scary, weird and wacky floors. Some great and decent examples are:
 * 15) *The Elevator - Remade by iwishforducks
 * 16) *The Comedy Elevator by The Comedy Elevator Fans
 * 17) *The Crazy Elevator by Derpie Studios
 * 18) *The Elevator Universe by DozenGarlic
 * 19) *The Luxury Elevator by Milo Murphy's Law (not to be confused by the show)
 * 20) There are lots of gamepasses, like how you can even buy and use dance animations. Furthermore, there are also costumes and gear set gamepasses as well as "The Chosen Ones" 3 times as well.
 * 21) Thanks to more updates, some or most sounds have been fixed or replaced.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There are some bugs and glitches.
 * 2) The game barely updates nowadays.
 * 3) Some floors have been removed for the remastered update, such as arena, creepy piano, Oogie-Boogie, cave and banana floor.
 * 4) Gavin's Story isn't available in remaster update, but at least it might return soon.
 * 5) While there are some good games based on this game, it also started a bunch of mediocre to low-effort Elevator games in Roblox, with mainly the most common one being "Horror/Scary Elevators" where the floors are just being chased by random Killers.

Reception
Thanks in part to its somewhat bizarre premise, The Normal Elevator has gained immense popularity and is commonly found on the front page of games, due to critical success.
