Okay, let’s dive into this because, honestly, it’s kind of wild. Picture this: someone just cleared a million levels in Super Mario Maker 2. I mean, what? That’s not a typo. I stumbled on this news and, not gonna lie, it kind of blew my mind.
So, Super Mario Maker 2—you’ve heard of it, right? If not, here’s the scoop: it’s like a sandbox where you mash up Mario worlds, design levels, or just play through ‘em. You’d think after the 1000th level, anyone would call it quits. But nope, not this player.
This guy, DSteves, just pulled off the unthinkable. Six years of grinding the game, this dude’s been racking up clears like it’s nothing. June 30th hits, and—bam—he’s at 1,000,050. Someone get this guy a cape like Mario’s or something. Apparently, he’s number one on the leaderboard too, miles ahead of the next player who’s trailing at a mere 834,437. Honestly, I can’t even.
Anyway—here’s where my brain goes completely off track—imagine the conversations that happen during those 18-hour play sessions. The focus, dedication, maybe some junk food marathons? I can barely complete a crossword puzzle without getting sidetracked by my own thoughts.
People in the Super Mario crowd are showering him with praise, naturally. They’re like, “Legendary!” And yeah, totally is. But DSteves? He doesn’t seem to be slowing down.
Now, this whole thing reminds me of another Mario tale—stay with me here. Back when the earlier Super Mario Maker was about to go offline (‘cause Nintendo decided so), a bunch of players called Team 0 jumped in to make sure no level was left unbeaten. They tackled about 40,000 courses! If you’re a completionist, that’s like a dream team right there.
So yeah, there’s something oddly emotional about folks doing the impossible in virtual worlds, right? Like, while some of us ponder if we’ll ever finish that Netflix series, these guys are out clearing levels—and honestly, making history in their own quirky way. Super Mario world, it’s a trip.
