Collectables

The first nickel is obtained after question 2. Once you land into the room with the Parazookas, go left and solve a Yoku Block challenge. Enter the green teleporter and you will get your first noble nickel.

After fighting the Air Capsule, go right instead of left. You will be rewarded with cameos and two E-tanks.

The second nickel is after question 4. Immediately head left after answering it, where you will be taken to a room with Conveyor Mayhem's ladders on rails. Climb them to get the second nickel.

The third nobel nickel is to the right of question 8. Have the Jewel Satellite ready, for you will be attacked by CDs.

At question 12 go to the passage on the top right. You will be greeted by Eddie, Gigavolt Man, and an M-tank. Eddie will drop a Super Joe, though it will fall to its death immediately.

Notes

• SiivaGunner's remix of Aporia contains a section from the intro of the song Roundabout, commonly associated with the anime adaptation of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, making the music choice a possible reference to Duwang. There was an explicit reference to Duwang in the original level (see below)
  • "Aporia" is also a Greek word meaning "puzzlement" which refers to a rhetorical device wherein a speaker asks the audience which path to take - appropriate, for a "quiz" level.
• Vestiges of M-Jacq's original level before Pyro edited it are still present in the final level.
  • One such room is still accessible by scaling the wall to the right in the first room. It's a straight port of the final room of Duwang, except Takeshi's dialogue is replaced with lyrics from "Deja Vu."
• Deep Thoughts is the only level in the MaGMML series where a tier boss is fought outside of its respective tier.
