Etymology
From the title of a Super Mario Maker level "Larl Does Everything Twice Twice", a troll level intending to one-up the usual troll-level concept of making players repeat parts of the course (i.e., do them "twice"), instead duplicating entire sections of the level but with altered mechanics ("twice twice"). In the original title, appeared as an adverb, but as the idea proliferated it was very quickly used as a noun to refer to the level style itself.
Meanings
-
A level which has two sequential sections that superficially resemble each other, however the second has subtle differences that make traversing it using the methodology of the first impossible, usually with numerous added tricks and traps.
There've been a lot of twice twices, but this is a funny twice twice.
