WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe is an XL story-driven level about TMNGaming's relationship with level creation, discussing the anxiety and pressure he feels creating levels. Initially, WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe received praise for its deep story and message, but its inclusion in the Portal Gauntlet was controversial due to issues involving its gameplay and its length.

User coins
WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe contains three user coins.
- The first coin is located at 39%. At 36%, the player must jump onto the platform above the normal route to collect a Mario-styled coin. Collecting this object automatically awards the coin at 39%.
- The second coin is located at 57%. At 53%, the player must fly above the cube portal and enter an alternate route containing a robot portal. The player must use the robot to hit an orb at 56%, opening another alternate route containing a UFO portal. After several UFO inputs, the player enters a cube portal and makes one final jump to collect the coin. A stick figure congratulates the player if they complete the route successfully.
- The third and final coin is located at 94%. At 91%, the player must fly above the UFO portal and remain as a ship. The player must then fly above the cube portal at 92% and enter a hidden cube portal. After entering it, the player must quickly jump, hit a yellow orb, and time an input on a pink dash orb to reach the coin; a correctly timed green-orb input then returns the player to the normal route.
Gameplay
Trivia
- WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe was nominated for Best Story Level in The Geometry Dash Awards 2021; it went on to place first.
- WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe originally had a bug near 95% where an orb would sometimes fail to register unless it were hit close to its centre. The problem was fixed after the level was added to the Portal Gauntlet.
- At a length of 3m 42s, WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe is the second-longest Gauntlet level by duration, four seconds shorter than Out of Place.
- It is one of six Gauntlet levels exceeding three minutes in duration. The others are Snow flies in Fog, Change of Scene, in Silico, I See Stars, and Out of Place.
- WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe received a negative reaction upon being added to the Portal Gauntlet due to its XL length and blind transitions. Many community members saw this as ironic considering the level is focused on how negative criticism affects the creator.[1]
