Player Achieves Historic First in Super Mario Maker 2

Sure thing! Here’s a reimagined version of that article:

Okay, so, get this—someone out there managed to beat a million levels in Super Mario Maker 2. Yes, a million. Honestly, I can’t even stick with a workout routine for more than a month, so hats off to this superhuman feat. People in the Mario community are giving high fives around like it’s an Olympic sport.

Super Mario Maker 2, if you haven’t dove in yet, is this amazing game where you can cook up your own Mario levels using all the fun stuff from the Mario universe. Even if you’re like me and can’t craft to save your life, you can still hop in and play endless Mario adventures.

Now, picture this: a streamer named DSteves—let’s just say they’re not your average gamer—celebrated by smashing out one million, yes, million, custom levels on the game’s sixth anniversary. This marathon gaming session included an 18-hour straight play fest where they cleared a whopping 1,000 levels. All in a day’s work, right? Apparently, it’s been about six years of dedicated gameplay to hit this number—some days more like an obsession.

Alright, let’s talk about how the fans reacted. It’s like they just witnessed Mario himself collect a billion coins without breaking a sweat. Legendary, some say! If I were DSteves, I might just put down the controller forever at this point. But nope, they’re apparently still at it. By June 30, they hit over 1,000,050 levels. Just… wow.

Cast your mind back to 2024 (or at least pretend), the whole Super Mario Maker scene was buzzing because the original game’s servers were shutting down. Cue dramatic music, right? There’s this group, Team 0, who decided those un-won levels couldn’t just disappear into the ether. They got to work and cleared about 40,000 levels before the curtain fell. Epic doesn’t begin to describe it.

Anyway, that’s the scoop on Mario and friends this time around. Keep jumping, smashing, and whatever else you do in those iconic red overalls.
