The History of Mario Maker's Last 100 Levels (inspired by Summoning Salt)

Moral of the story seems to be if you’re American and you sleep you lose the first clear lmao

I love how Trimming the Herbs was treated as a Final Boss, rather than a technical win.
This was amazing

Trimming the herbs shows that Team 0% really achieved the impossible here.

They truly did 100% the game, as they managed to achieve both endings: The Good Ending (The Last Dance) and The True Ending (Trimming The Herbs)

I do like the ending, it was originally such a let down to the community, I’m sure, but it became anything but that after it was cleared, it became even more hype, after all, every other level wasn’t technically a “First Clear” as they were all levels that the creator cleared them first. But this, was a true first clear. A level so difficult not even the creator could beat it. But one person could beat it. They beat the “impossible” level. They truly got the first clear on the final level

Isn't it so poetic that The Last Dance was the final level ?!?!

>Is called "The Last Dance"
>Another level afterwards

Holy fuck that ending legitimately made me a bit emotional, I cannot even begin to imagine how everyone in the community must've felt. Doing the seemingly impossible; beating a TAS level.

Fantastic video

For a video about the "history" of the last 100 levels, I would have liked to see more of the actual history, like how Last Hope was a level to be used as a test to join a Mario Kaizo team, but no one ever beat it, or how Welcome Extreme is a remake of a level called "Welcome"' which is one of the very first levels ever uploaded to Mario Maker

I can't believe nobody is talking about the guy who literally performed inputs which only a TAS normally would be able to do... if you think about it, it's insane to say the least. I mean props to all thw community and the 0% team, but give this man some recognition..

Fitting that the final level was a TAS cheat and extra fitting that the determination of the speedrun community was able to overcome the insane odds.

I didn't realize TTH was cleared. Actually pogged at the end. Lmfao

Why does every video essay person know exactly how to press my buttons with video game music?
Very hype

Great video and hey 25:40 that's me! thanks for including me lol, I actually have a big story with trimming the herbs, I had interest in the level and decided to go for it, in august of 2023, 25h and 4 months later, I had lost all hope that I would be able to do it, the level was a BEAST and I didn't even realize it, it was also the least fun level I had EVER played, but I never admitted I gave up, I was scared I would be insulted because of this (I was) so I just waited, until team 0 removed my dibs because there were less than a 100 levels in the 2017 category (or something like this). Months later one of my friends Sanyx, who has IMMENSE determination and talent, gave it a go, and beat it :)

Again, great video, I really liked the way you explained all this

The conclusion speech was so cheesy but I couldn't help but smile. I love stories about communities coming together to do the impossible. Very wholesome and great video! 😊

I like how the bot on the server says there is -1 uncleared levels😂🎉

Isn't it so poetic that Last Hope was the fourth-to-last level?

I honestly find it a tragedy that millions of levels, some that people have spent hours playing and beating are now forever lost media

It's a weird feeling that the community working together ends up sniping first clears from others. Some people spend so many hours, getting so close, then someone else swoops in and gets the clear.

omg thats me playing phantom odd world 15:48 absolutely fantastic video
