Well, imagine this: someone you don’t know just decided to pull off something I’d call downright bonkers in Super Mario Maker 2. Yep, they smashed through a mind-blowing million levels. Like, can you even wrap your head around that? The Super Mario Maker 2 community is basically throwing confetti and shouting kudos all over the place. Why? Because dedicating that kind of time? I mean, who does that, right?
Let’s backtrack a bit. So, Super Mario Maker 2, if you haven’t been around gaming rocks lately, is where players dive into the world of making their own Mario levels. A huge Mario fest if I’ve ever seen one. Even if you’re more about playing than creating, there’s no shortage of levels waiting to suck you in.
Anyway — wait, where was I going with this? Oh yeah, it’s been six years since Super Mario Maker 2 hit us, and DSteves, this crazy-dedicated streamer, thought, why not celebrate by obliterating one million custom levels live? That’s what I call dedication, or possibly insanity. Six years of relentless playing broke it down to an outrageous 456 levels per day on average — ain’t that somethin’?
It’s like the leaderboard has carved a spot just for DSteves, proudly perched at number one with a gazillion players trailing behind. While I was daydreaming my way through college, this guy was blitzing through Mario levels like a legend.
And jeez, fans couldn’t shut up about it, calling DSteves — you guessed it — a legend. Could quit now and still be a gaming god, but nope, not happening. Even as of June 30, bam, another 50 levels down, smashing through a mind-numbing total of 1,000,050.
Wait, there’s more. Not to forget, some folks were on a different wavelength. Remember when back in 2024, Mario Maker 1 servers waved goodbye? Well, folks realized some levels were chilling out there unbeaten. Along came Team 0, these level-clearing heroes, who took it upon themselves to finish around 40,000 untouched courses. Half a year of their lives, courageously battling pixelated doom.
And before I get sidetracked. Super Mario Maker 2… what a wild ride, right? Game on, folks.
