Super Mario Maker players have finally beaten the fan-made level that was previously thought to have been impossible for mere humans to complete, just two days before Nintendo kills the servers.
Super Mario Maker Players Beat All Levels Ahead of Wii U Shutdown
23.03.2024 - 01:35 / gamerant.com / Wii U / Trumann Tu / Nintendo
A dedicated group of Super Mario Maker players have beaten all the levels uploaded to the game before the Wii U's services go offline. As Nintendo has been focused on the Nintendo Switch ever since its release in 2017, the Japanese gaming giant has also been phasing out the services of its previous consoles, the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. This closure would affect several games released on the console, including the first Super Mario Maker, a Wii U exclusive.
The first Super Mario Maker allowed players to create their own levels using assets and obstacles from a variety of classic and modern Super Mario Bros. games. Any levels created could be shared online for other people to play, making for almost an endless number of levels to clear. With the Wii U's online services being shut down on April 8, this gave the fan group Team 0%, who were already dedicated to clearing every single Super Mario Maker level, a deadline. With less than a month before its shutdown, the team had managed to clear every single level made in the game.
This announcement was posted to Team 0%'s official Twitter account, with their website also being updated to show the statistics. The last Super Mario Maker level cleared by Team 0% was appropriately titled The Last Dance, beaten by the team's @Yamada_SMM2. This level was beaten 24 days ahead of the Wii U's services shutting down. The Twitter account thanked the many people who supported the team in their endeavor of beating every single Super Mario Maker level.
One of the levels uploaded to Mario Maker, Trimming the Hedges, was disqualified from the count, due to the level being uploaded through illegitimate means and using a Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS). There were apparently a number of other levels that were also excluded from the count due to being only beatable using a TAS and not through legitimate means. The uploader of this particular illegal Mario Maker level, Ahoyo, congratulated Team 0% on their years of effort, stating that it was well-earned. Team 0% similarly asked fans not to harass anyone over the illegally uploaded levels.
While Trimming the Hedges has been beaten via TAS, there are still some players who are attempting to beat the level legitimately. This also isn't the end of Team 0%, as Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch also has a number of older levels that have yet to be cleared. If fans want to keep up with Team 0%, there is an official Discord server that contains accurate numbers and information on the team's efforts.
Super Mario Maker lets players try their hand at being a Nintendo developer and create their own courses. Players can implement objects and enemies into their levels from a handful of iconic Mario games, including the original Super Mario

After 39 years, Nintendo's legendary composer put his voice in Super Mario Bros Wonder when his idea for a "live-action" Mario with "human proportions" was rejected

The Wii U’s failure forced Nintendo to look elsewhere — into mobile
Though Nintendo is known for mobile consoles — Game Boy, DS, Nintendo Switch — it’s never really been known as a mobile game developer, i.e., a studio making games for your phone. But that’s not to say that Nintendo hasn’t done so. In fact, you can count the number of Nintendo mobile games on two hands.
