Player Reaches Historic Milestone in Super Mario Maker 2

Sure thing. Here’s a rewritten version with that human touch, complete with quirks and a dash of chaos.

So, listen to this: there’s a player in Super Mario Maker 2 who’s just blown everyone’s minds. Like, we’re talking a million levels cleared. You heard me right—a million. This kind of dedication is really insane, and everyone in the Super Mario Maker 2 community is basically applauding this Herculean feat.

Okay, backing up a bit. Super Mario Maker 2—it’s a game where you can make your own Mario levels. It’s like, you take bits and pieces from the entire Mario universe and whip up something cool. Even if you’re not into creating, there’s an endless buffet of levels from other players, so it’s win-win. Play and enjoy—simple as that.

This whole thing gets even better as it hits its sixth anniversary. There’s this gamer, DSteves, who marked the occasion with a wild livestream marathon—clearing a thousand levels in 18 hours straight, which, honestly, is just bananas. I mean, can you imagine? Apparently, this six-year quest boils down to clearing about 456 levels a day. How does one even? My brain can’t even process that kind of grind.

Oh, and get this: they’re sitting on top of the leaderboard, all smug-like, with the next person way behind at 834,437. It’s like, DSteves is living atop some legendary mountain, waving down at the rest of us mere mortals.

The fans, though—they’re all cheering like it’s some epic saga. DSteves could just hang up their controller now and be a legend forever, but nope. The grind continues. Just the other day, they ticked off another 50 levels, hitting 1,000,050. Even if the game sold around 8.42 million copies, DSteves is out there hustling. Can’t help but think—where do they find the time?

And here’s a twist: it’s not the first legendary moment tied to Mario Maker. Back in 2024, when the original’s servers were shutting down—Wii U, 3DS, all that jazz—folks realized some courses had never been beaten. Enter Team 0, a squad of heroes determined to clear them. They smacked down 40,000 courses in half a year. I mean, talk about commitment. Who would’ve thought playing games could be such a marathon?

So, there it is—people making history in video games. It’s a world of endless levels and even more endless dedication. Now, if only I had that kind of motivation for my own projects. Maybe tomorrow. Or never. Who knows?
