Alright, so here’s something wild I stumbled upon. This gamer, DSteves—probably fueled by caffeine and sheer willpower—played Super Mario Maker 2 and managed to clear, wait for it, a million levels. I mean, what even is life? The game’s community is all over them with praise, and rightly so. A fully dedicated legend, if you ask me.
Super Mario Maker 2, for those not in the loop, is this game where you can get lost in endless Mario madness, thanks to levels crafted by other players. You don’t even have to make your own levels to enjoy it—just dive in and play forever. Well, almost forever.
So, here’s the kicker: the game just turned six, and DSteves hit their mark celebrating during a livestream. Picture this: 18 hours of nonstop gaming, 1,000 levels conquered in one sitting. Just typing that makes me need a nap. It took them all six years to reach a million. That means, like, around 456 levels a day? I can barely manage breakfast! They’re officially top of the leaderboard, and the next player is trailing behind with 834,437. Close, but no Mushroom Cup.
Fans are cheering DSteves on, calling their work “legendary”—and honestly, they deserve it. They’ve even pushed beyond the million just because, well, why not? What’s one more marathon run in the world of Mario? With 8.42 million copies of the game out there, they truly have carved out their niche.
But wait, this isn’t the first time Mario fans have shown crazy dedication. Flashback to 2024, when the original Super Mario Maker was about to go offline. Panic ensued because some levels had never been cracked. A squad called Team 0 jumped in and said, “Not on our watch!” They cleared around 40,000 levels in half a year. I mean, what do these people eat for breakfast?
Okay, where was I? Super Mario Maker 2 is part of Nintendo’s magical world of Mario where creativity meets determination. If you haven’t checked it out, maybe it’s time to see what all the fuss is about. But brace yourself: getting sucked into Mario’s world is waaaaaay too easy.
