My first puzzle / train [ENDED]

Open

Thanks for everyone who participated!

Good job for those who managed the complete the puzzle! There were 100 solvers (me included). I didn't even except that so many people will even bother trying to solve this in the first place. Those who couldn't finish all of them shouldn't feel bad either, it wasn't an easy task. I will probably do something similar in the future, so you'll have your chances once again!

Congratulation to the winners! I've sent out the keys, I hope everything will be fine.
Stay safe everyone!

========================================

Hello there.

/a/So, looks like I'm forced between the 4 walls just like most of the world. Usually I wouldn't mind this but it's spring and I had plans that are/were foiled by the quarantine. Guess it's hard on everyone. Having something to play with might help, so can I offer you a puzzle in these trying times? Zigzag through the train and maybe you'll find at least 1 game you like. (But don't expect big games, these are just leftovers. But I do hope there will be someone who will be glad for them.)

The giveaways end on 16th of April so you have 10 days to solve the puzzle. The first few are level 0s but the needed levels / rules will be increasing later on. There are 30 carts (29 games) altogether.

EDIT: If you have trouble with the passwords maybe try using another browser or if you use extensions turn them off, maybe it helps.

Reserved for hints (if they are needed).

EDIT 1: Ups, I [quack] up something. Small edits were made.

EDIT 2: I'll add little hints tomorrow but until then I'll let think you a bit more.

========================================

The answers:
Q1: "John Titor" - If you reverse google searched my profile picture you probably instantly get the answer.
Q2: "98" - You just had to add and subtract a few times.
Q3: "yes" and "no" were both acceptable answers. The question asked if you could solve it not for the solution itself. By the way, the solution is something like 2 + 2 ln x, I think.
Q4: "small elephants" - Big elephants can always understand small elephants. It's a mnemonic to remember how to spell because.
Q5: "nothing" - The poor have nothing, the rich need nothing, and if you eat nothing you'll die.
Q6: "Yes. No. Maybe. I don't know." - The famous song's lyrics continuous with "Can you repeat the question?" so you just had to repeat the question itself.
Q7: "I thought not." - After you solved the jigidi it showed you a quote from Star Wars III. The answer was the next line from the quote. (I mean, the next line from the same person because Anakin's "no" would have been the very next sentence. But the memes usually skip that so I skipped it too.) "Ironic." was also acceptable because of the memes and for laughs. Fairly sure someone solved it with that. :D (Also, not having a period was also acceptable.)
Q8: "Hey, you! Finally awake..." - The infamous PW1. This was kinda tricky. You had to find the hidden letters in the description. The bold ones were: rGHZ1BI. But in the beginning there was also /a/ in spoilers. So you got /a/rGHZ1BI if you found everything. This is a part of an imgur url. If you put it after "https://imgur.com" you get a picture with a description, and in the description is the answer. Finding PW2 could help with this because it used the same hiding place but you had to find the way there in a different way.
Q9: "He chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace." - PW2. There was a picture (titled spring) at the end of the post. If you opened it in a new tab and deleted the ".jpg" part you could find the picture's description which was the passphrase.
Q10: "yes"
