Hidden throughout | Hidden throughout BOOBAWAMBA's decoration are five different objects—the level randomises the appearances of these objects for every attempt. As the player progresses through the level, they must keep track of which objects have appeared and which have not. The player must remember the objects until the end of the level, where they must utilise this knowledge to open the gate that prevents their exit. Object 1 consists of two small spikes in the background, positioned at the bottom right of the black orb at 13.34%. Object 2 is a sawblade attached to a stick above the player at 34.65%. Object 3 is a long black/shadow stick in the foreground at 45.53%. Object 4 consists of two giant black structures in the foreground, with spikes at the bottom, as shown at 56% and 60%. Object 5 is a large black cross in the foreground, positioned at around 68%. Knowing which objects to look out for during the run, the player is ready to tackle the access code puzzle, which will open the gate, allowing them to exit. The final part of the level consists of challenging robot jumps, each accompanied by a screen in the background. Each screen displays a number from 1 to 5, indicating the appearance of objects throughout the level (present or absent in a playthrough), of which the player must keep track. The order of these five numbers is also random each attempt. Each of the screens' series of jumps is accompanied by one of five toggle triggers. If one of the objects does not appear during the run, then the player must activate the toggle trigger for that corresponding number. For each object that does appear, the player must avoid activating the corresponding toggle trigger. Only once the player has input the correct code via toggle triggers will the gate be open during the end sequence, allowing the icon to escape and the player to beat BOOBAWAMBA. | ||

Template:Infobox Level BOOBAWAMBA is a 2.2 Extreme Demon collaboration level created by Akunakunn, ygg24 and TheLetterV, published by Akunakunn and verified by eastshark on 5 October 2024, after 175,282 attempts.[1] It is the hardest memory level in the game. The unique green and grey theme present in the level makes it difficult to see what is in front of the player, adding to its difficulty.
BOOBAWAMBA was initially placed at #14 on the Demonlist before later being shifted to #11, then #9, and eventually #3, which happened due to Taiagos' opinion about the levels' difficulty being comparable to Tidal Wave.
Story and lore
Hidden throughout BOOBAWAMBA's decoration are five different objects—the level randomises the appearances of these objects for every attempt. As the player progresses through the level, they must keep track of which objects have appeared and which have not. The player must remember the objects until the end of the level, where they must utilise this knowledge to open the gate that prevents their exit. Object 1 consists of two small spikes in the background, positioned at the bottom right of the black orb at 13.34%. Object 2 is a sawblade attached to a stick above the player at 34.65%. Object 3 is a long black/shadow stick in the foreground at 45.53%. Object 4 consists of two giant black structures in the foreground, with spikes at the bottom, as shown at 56% and 60%. Object 5 is a large black cross in the foreground, positioned at around 68%. Knowing which objects to look out for during the run, the player is ready to tackle the access code puzzle, which will open the gate, allowing them to exit. The final part of the level consists of challenging robot jumps, each accompanied by a screen in the background. Each screen displays a number from 1 to 5, indicating the appearance of objects throughout the level (present or absent in a playthrough), of which the player must keep track. The order of these five numbers is also random each attempt. Each of the screens' series of jumps is accompanied by one of five toggle triggers. If one of the objects does not appear during the run, then the player must activate the toggle trigger for that corresponding number. For each object that does appear, the player must avoid activating the corresponding toggle trigger. Only once the player has input the correct code via toggle triggers will the gate be open during the end sequence, allowing the icon to escape and the player to beat BOOBAWAMBA.
Gameplay
The level begins with a dark, dimly lit, normal-paced cube section, transitioning to the wave game-mode at 5%. At 9%, the player goes through a ball portal, and the level becomes visible. The ball transforms into a cube and must jump onto the correct platforms and orbs. The game-mode then changes to ball again with tight gaps and precise timings. At 17%, the cube must navigate through tighter spaces, which eventually leads to the screen going black, and the levels' drop begins at 21%. The level picks up its pace, and the background changes colour to green. As a ship, the player must navigate through really difficult gaps with limited visibility due to dimmed background. That section ends at 37%, when the robot game-mode is introduced. Still with limited visibility, the robot must perform both small and large leaps to fall and land on the correct platform. With the introduction of this game-mode, the level becomes chaotic. The level allows players to take a rest between 50% and 53%, during which a short cutscene is played, in which the cube gets lifted from an elevator. The level progresses, with visibility further reduced due to the present fog and various background shapes obstructing the view periodically. The player must execute calculated jumps, primarily involving pads and orbs. The cube game-mode changes to a ball at 64% and the same gimmick continues. At 68% another ship section begins. It is the least visible part of the level, and the player can barely see their icon. There are many invisible orbs and pads in this section. At around 75%, game-mode is now a cube, and after jumping on some orbs, the player is sent to the last section of the level, with the cube plunging deeper into the depths of BOOBAWAMBA. The final part consists of difficult robot jumps, and simultaneously, the player must input the correct memorised code of the five objects throughout the level to reach the end.

Trivia
- BOOBAWAMBA was rated on 5 October 2024, and was placed at #14 on the Demonlist on 12 November 2024, above Firework and below Menace.
- This addition pushed Promethean into the Extended List and Knights of Thunder into the Legacy List.
- The levels' name, BOOBAWAMBA, comes from a video about the number zero that Akunakunn had previously seen, which features the term 'Boobawamba'. It is a real term that describes a huge number.
- Boobawamba is roughly equal to:
In BEAF: {10, 10, 100 (1) 2} & 10 In BAN: {10, 100 [1 [1 \ 1 \ 2 ¬ 2] 1 [2 \ 2 ¬ 2] 2] 2} In SAN: s(10, 100 {1`1`2^`}1{2`2^`}2} 2) In FGH: f_{Ψ₀(Ω^(Ω^Ω+Ω*ω))} (100) In BMS: (0,0)(1,1)(2,1)(3,1)(4,1)(2,1)(3,1)(3,0) [100]
- There is a site called 'Pointless Gigantic List of Numbers', and Boobawamba is also there.
- One of the furthest records belongs to Whizkid05, who achieved 54% on 18 May 2025,[2] as well as 24-100% on 21 May 2025.[3]
- The levels' difficulty is highlighted by the 143 60FPS frame perfects, making it one of the most technically demanding.
- Akunakunn is known for other memorisation-heavy levels such as Jupiter My Favourite and limbo but uwu ig idk.
- There are 3,840 different combinations of how the level can look in terms of differing objects throughout the level and the order of the screens in the last robot section.
- People have speculated that the level was intentionally raised on the Demonlist to get more players to try it for themselves.
- Whizkid05 thinks it is easier than Anathema, but because he verified Anathema, his opinion may not be as reliable as Taiago's.
- In an interview on the Secret Ways' YouTube channel, when Zoink was asked about BOOBAWAMBA, he answered that he is planning on working on this level after beating Amethyst.
