Legendary Mario Developer Praises Race to Conquer All Super Mario Maker Levels Before Server Shutdown

The Super Mario Maker fan base came together to beat every level before the servers went offline. Nintendo‘s own Takashi Tezuka was happy to see how committed they were to playing and making levels. He hadn’t heard of Team 0% before, the group that did this, but he thinks what they did is “pretty cool.” Their tough journey included a level called Trimming the Herbs, made by someone who cheated to finish it.

Still, the players pushed on and beat the level fairly, just in time before the servers closed. Their will to overcome challenges, even when facing unfair levels, is impressive.

Yousiff

I’m Yousiff Taqi, born in ’87, and I’ve been a huge fan of retro games for as long as I can remember. My favorites are RPGs, Platformers, and Action Adventure. I’ve been interested in computers ever since I was young, which is why I pursued a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Now, armed with my passion for both retro gaming and computer engineering, I’m excited to embark on new adventures in the world of technology, where I hope to merge my interests and make meaningful contributions.
