The Super Mario Maker fan base came together to beat every level before the servers went offline. Nintendo‘s own Takashi Tezuka was happy to see how committed they were to playing and making levels. He hadn’t heard of Team 0% before, the group that did this, but he thinks what they did is “pretty cool.” Their tough journey included a level called Trimming the Herbs, made by someone who cheated to finish it.

Still, the players pushed on and beat the level fairly, just in time before the servers closed. Their will to overcome challenges, even when facing unfair levels, is impressive.
