Player Beats Impossible Level Before Wii U Shutdown
Apr 07, 2024 3:09 PMAs the curtain closes on Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS online services, a remarkable feat was achieved within the Super Mario Maker community. A level deemed impossible, "Trimming the Herbs," which required superhuman reflexes to complete, was finally conquered by player sanyx91smm2, just days before server shutdown. With upwards of 280,000 attempts, the level had been a notorious challenge, especially since it was revealed that the creator used tool-assisted speedrun techniques to create it, and had not actually completed it themselves—effectively questioning its feasibility for human players. Nevertheless, the persistence and dedication of players underscore the vibrant and committed Super Mario Maker community as they bid farewell to the game's online era.
Is Super Mario Maker still playable after the Wii U and 3DS server shutdown?
Super Mario Maker will still be playable offline, but any features that require online connectivity, including uploading and downloading new levels, will no longer be available after the server shutdown.
Super Mario Maker, launched for the Wii U in 2015, allowed players to create and share their own Mario levels, combining elements from various games in the long-running series. Its innovative gameplay and community-driven content led to a sequel, Super Mario Maker 2, for the Nintendo Switch. Despite the end of online services for the original, its legacy continues through its community and the sequel, which expands on the creative possibilities introduced in the first game.
