A gamer, apparently as determined as… well, a turtle chasing a finish line, did the unthinkable in Super Mario Maker 2. Yeah, we’re talking about playing — wait for it — a cool million levels. Somehow, this epic feat has folks in the Mario community buzzing like they’ve just heard the world’s juiciest gossip.
So, what’s the deal with Super Mario Maker 2? Essentially, it’s like a sandbox for Mario fans — they craft and play levels using bits and bobs from the Mario universe. You could basically never run out of new Mario worlds to stumble through, which is precisely how someone could lose themselves to this game for ages.
Anyway, it’s been six years since Super Mario Maker 2 hit the shelves, and DSteves, our heroic gamer, decided to mark this milestone by smashing through a million levels. Picture this: an 18-hour run, cruising through about 1,000 levels in one go. It took all six years, averaging a hardcore 456 levels daily. Yeah, someone needs a trophy or maybe a nap.
The leaderboard tells the tale — DSteves is numero uno, with the next closest player trailing with 834,437 levels. It’s kind of like watching The Tortoise and The Hare, except the hare never really had a chance.
Fans, naturally, are showering DSteves with praises, calling the performance “legendary.” Some say even if they never play again, DSteves has cemented their status as a gaming icon. Hits 1,000,050 levels completed by June 30. Stopping soon? Apparently not.
This isn’t the first time Mario enthusiasts have gone all in. Back in the day, the OG Super Mario Maker faced a crisis when Nintendo announced server shutdowns for Wii U and 3DS. There’s this wild story — Team 0 tackled the uncrossed, unfinished levels before they disappeared forever: 40,000 courses over six months. That’s dedication with a capital D.
And there you have it, a million levels, enough gaming to make your thumbs twitch just thinking about it. Yet, here we all are, casually wondering what tomorrow’s gaming legends might just pull off. Pass the game controller, anyone?
