*This was the only era to have the object count raised in a minor update.
*Update 1.9 is one of the only two updates to change the difficulty ratings of levels, the other being [[Update 1.7]].
*By placing many portals pixels away from each other with the new Copy+Paste feature at the end of a level, it allowed a bug that allows the percentage to go over 100%.
