[@tommyso3823]

It is even more amazing that at the end you go to the "goal" after the soccer game, go back to the title screen and see the level is named "1:0".

[@VeetiM]

And the screen is red text saying "win" with the red yoshi art, and a green egg

[@amythistfire5042]

Replay the magical journey button -> 48:47

[@AnnnaKathryn]

Thanks :)

[@alberozuko]

Thank you, for this setup is too legendary; for it to only be nejoyed once-

[@yufeng1707]

This goes into the Return to CP1 of all time across all past and future iterations of Mario Maker!!!

[@RigelRat]

Immensely useful button

[@doomusrlc]

This is the greatest forced CP1 in history 😂

[@lecygnenoir4313]

I feel like this level is part of a new evolution of the troll meta, which isn't just about complex setups and pure trolling, but actually making things funnier with "jokes" in the level design. Stuff like Yoshing "hitting the button", the countdown on the "press up" button, the boss screaming, the magical journey, etc. There's a lot of effort on "presentation" of the trolls. Like we're sort of hitting the limits of the troll level design, and now it's all about using those tools and making them actively *funnier* instead of more impressive.

[@theneongoomba]

I've always thought there was a lot of potential in trolls that don't kill you, but are just funny.

[@TactfulWaggle]

So complex setups, but funny

[@LolosPy]

There are so much more tools you can think of it

[@riventriss3960]

@@theneongoomba I agree heavily. Benevolent troll levels are a ton of fun to watch. Only thing I don't like about Trolls levels is when you have to replay to many sections, and trolls that don't kill you fix that problem. But, I love watching crazy levels like this with 10 different troll deaths in a small section. Both, both are good.

That countdown up button troll looks just like the car scene on that Buster Keaton movie,

[@PerfectZeroMusic_]

This will definitely go down in the books For anyone wondering, the magical journey lasted a full 54 seconds! 54 seconds of traveling through like half of the level!

[@bashura_0019]

No other troll creator with this level of capacity will be able to do this kind of setup. These Japanese troll creators, or just Japanese players in general are just built different

[@SharienGaming]

@@bashura_0019 i mean... the banned wagon crew did some absolutely legendary stuff as well - but yeah this is definitely at least on that level - and their project was a collaborative work that took ages to build cant even begin to imagine the level of meticulous building and trial and error this level must have taken until it worked this smoothly and with all the insane tricks

[@GummieI]

@@SharienGaming The banned wagon was legendary over the course of a world, I don't think in terms of a single level even any of banned wagon lvl's was anywhere close to this. It was the inter-level stuff that made the banned wagon amazing

[@Jujustum3]

Seeing again one of my old levels definitely felt a bit nostalgic. I kinda left the SMM2 community because of my studies, but I still really enjoy your content, Carl. Really glad I grew watching your streams and videos. ❤

[@Ssssssnakeisone]

Thank YOU for all the great levels 👌 Maybe one day you'll have time to make "Carl's Psychological Aardvark" or some such 🖖

[@CarlSagan42]

Awww thanks Juju, hope you're well!

[@JustK4Y1512]

Thanks for making my day man, that level was freaking hilarious 😂❤

[@marshmaster11]

If anyone's curious, the level description reads "Announcement: 'We sincerely ask that you do not stand in the train, as there is a possibility of untimely demise ahead...' ※Estimated play time: 3-40 minutes" At 41:18 the p-blocks say coin (コイン). It's implied by both chat and Carl, but I figured I'd include it in case there was still confusion.

[@baconlettucepotato69]

3-40 minutes is crazy work 💀

[@cgoldhaber]

I'll add that, at 14:04, the spike balls crushing the blocks reveals 'アホ' (aho) meaning 'idiot' or 'fool' in katakana.

[@Xcog]

If you take 40 minutes and multiply that by three, you get two hours, roughly the amount of time Carl says he played this level for. So I guess it's not _between_ 3 or 40 minutes, it's three 40 minutes.

[@HomeofLawboy]

For a while i was like "guts recommended this, but it's kinda mid", and then the iq test hit... Everybody and theirs mothers were expecting the 8 to turn into a 7, but the level creator had far far greater plans

[@beeftips1628]

I was also thinking it was kinda mid, but then the magical journey section happened and I understood why it was

[@tysonfontanez]

This level has a lot of meh trolls and a few trolls that are flat out garbo BUT it makes up for it by also having multiple absolutely legendary unforgettable moments

[@JustK4Y1512]

I thought it was gonna make a divide ➗ instead of a minus ➖

[@VocalMabiMaple]

Insane level wtf. This was a lot like a movie where nothing makes sense until the last 20 minutes of magic.

[@le0t0rr3z]

The movie memento looks up to this level

[@rajhah]

It's so nice when Carl asks the easy questions in life... the ones that end with "...or am I just stupid?"

[@TakeWalker]

love Carl in no thoughts, head empty mode :)

[@InkLore-p3h]

This is the rare troll perfection: a unique premise, solid trolls all throughout, mastery of SMM2 mechanics, and the final legendary twist unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

[@DefrostTaicho]

That first flag was fake CP1, looped CP0, actual CP2 *and* somehow also the goal!

[@what-are-birds]

That CP 0/1 troll is magnificent

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

Zero oneths?

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

CP 1:0

[@The_Nametag]

Wow. That back to CP1 was an amazing flex, showing off the whole level breaking expectations. 12 out of 10.

[@MrFlame-zk5cy]

This level was fucking FANTASTIC it had so many amazing trolls that all somehow fit in a 1 minute long magical journey through half the level to a benevolent CP1 everyone is rightfully floored by how amazing this creator was.

[@Malletdude31]

The Yoshi clown car death and the Yoshi switch troll were so funny, and that entire ending from the "back to CP1" to the SOCCER GAME fakeout, genius.

[@louisng114]

"GOAL" at the ending refers to the soccer game. 🤯

[@faereman]

And also, the level title is "1 : 0", it was right there!

[@gabrielraposo1466]

yoooo

[@klas-6]

this is crazyyy

[@axerity9212]

red yoshi even kicks luigi into the goal at the end

[@mask3284]

@@axerity9212 and he (red yoshi) sais "win" in the thumbnail too!

[@Cera_01]

That back to CP1 setup genuinely almost made me pass out from laughter and I am dead serious

[@vstpnv]

Legendary carlBlind throughout about 11 first minutes of this level, you know the level is good when it did not even truly start and Larl is already broken.

[@IslandUsurper]

It was painful for me to watch, honestly.

[@vstpnv]

@@IslandUsurper I started typing this comment at like 6th minute and had to edit it 3 more times, but hey, he figured it out

[@RMNDolphy]

that’s gotta be the best CP1 i’ve ever seen

[@kulvib4601]

So it would seem XD

[@SharienGaming]

and then going into soccer time was brilliant - when i saw the "goal" at the end i genuinely wondered if the soccer time was gonna go straight into that XD

[@JustK4Y1512]

There was also one in a SMB3 troll level that had a magical journey all the way back. Best type of trolls that there is honestly

[@TheRealSinful]

so early there's no Carl joke yet

[@qassemgaming5362]

real

[@farleyecclesgaming4706]

You're the Carl joke

[@whackareal]

Fr

[@Captainsalamiify]

The only joke is his gameplay

[@supersimon4922]

Carl nutz, gottem

[@GummieI]

Legendary is underselling this man... Even a few of the trolls alone in this level already makes it an amazing level... and they just kept coming with insane troll after insane troll, after insane troll, and then you add the ending on top... I don't even

[@underrated1524]

The "IQ Test" troll is a great demonstration of a key principle in trolling: Getting someone to fall for a troll isn't always about making them not catch on the right course of action, but rather about making the player fear the embarrassment of calling a bluff that isn't there. If the question hadn't had that "IQ test" label, half the players would pick 1 just because troll levels often reward contrarianism. But with the "IQ test" label, everybody picks 0 because nobody wants to be judged on their IQ based on saying 8-8=1.

[@darkbox95]

The 8-8 troll was very funny. Also, you got the "Fly away to victory!" setup delivered in such a GENIUS way. That was THE troll level.

[@IXPStaticI]

carl close up of him absolutely losing his mind while a ton of random shit goes on in the game off frame I freaking love this intro omg

[@IXPStaticI]

holy shit

[@jaednorberg]

Okay, the perfectly timed Roy scream destroyed my lungs. I don't know why I've never seen that before. Also my god, this level has a lot of potential softlocks lmao. Although most of them are before the CP so I guess that's not horrible. Never mind, I just reached the end. Holy shit, am I in awe.

[@ToyKeeper]

I've been watching Carl and other creators play Mario Maker troll levels almost daily for like 8 or 9 years, and I've NEVER seen anything like that before.

[@feasible]

Even apart from the magical journey, this troll had some of the outright funniest and most clever trolls I've ever seen.

[@Sluggernaut]

Seriously this level started off just looking like a tedious pain. That payoff was so freaking crazy man! WOW

[@faereman]

Level nothing short of genius + Carl being a little bit tired = banger video. ALSO WAIT, the title of the level directly describes how you win, this is so good!

[@danielsahlberg4576]

It’s so perfect that the level is named 1:0 and you win by scoring a goal

[@kitten9138]

Oh gods..I haven't laughed this hard at a troll level in ages..I was actually coughing at the CP1 troll after the key door due to laughing. SO good.

[@johannes.kielmann]

31:39 I think I can hear Geek proudly approving of this creator somewhere in the back.

[@misterturkturkle]

Rip she died so young

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

She played this level in her single stream at the end of last year, but idk if she even got to that part. She accidentally cheesed the cp0 loop and then spent a long time trying _not_ to cheese it to figure out how it was supposed to work; she eventually gave up and might have skipped straight to CP2. I stopped watching the youtube video because I realized she never even got to the end anyway.

[@facade11663]

We have gone past "bodied beyond space and time" now we are considering "bodied beyond parallel universes."

[@PacoUrtmétrage]

The construction of this level is so brilliant. That was jawdropping

[@friendlyshade750]

that ending just floored me, the around the world slam dunk into cp1 fake out W just came out of no where, i honestly was rolling over laughing when i saw the surprise goal flag. truly a level for the books

[@simonfischer4437]

I didn't laugh so hard for a long time, thank you Carl!

[@kujian]

Coming back to watch this video after Geek couldn't finish the level.

[@jimsalmon5158]

She did find some massive cheese, tho

[@squeektheweek6949]

There is a moment in this that I cried with laughter. It's absolutely incredible. Thank you! No spoilers

[@AdamBath]

That CP1 around 50min was absolutely amazing, one of the best all time.

[@WyattW_]

[@PlantoftheApes1983]

That magical trip back to CP 1 was insane! It blows my mind what people can do with this game.

[@Rafutah]

I am absolutely mindblown how the creator fit in a whole host of amazing trolls on top of that INSANE ending. Literally everytime I think 'now they've done it all, there's no more topping this', and I get proven wrong constantly. People are amazing, holy shit.

[@cbrana4649]

"Yoshi's still alive, somewhere." And as the level had established, that would be a problem.

[@dizzydial8081]

15 seconds of stunned silence??? Oh yeah, this is going to be good.

Simply a magnificent level. I nearly died laughing when Yoshi stole the POW and then the soft lock with the 3 POWs immediately afterward, figuring it couldn't get better than that. Boy was I wrong.

The last troll was u bein trolled to victory to where u "couldn't see the magical journey again"

[@kenjamin9147]

The moment I saw 'soccer time' again and remembered that the flagpole had 'goal' next to it I did wonder if it'd end like that. Had no idea how though, and that's gotta be the best CP1 in any level ever

It ended with the level name: 1:0

[@DaWhiteTyger]

31:37 I don’t know why I’m even surprised anymore, but that was a LEGENDARY moment!

52:14 carl reading chat as the level magically moves him towards the goal the the funniest thing i've ever seen

[@CornedBee]

Yes, that moment is massively underappreciated. Carl didn't even notice he had won.

[@Newtination]

I feel like this Carl is before he knew how to play Mario Maker at all, but some how in nearly 2025.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Oh god don't call it nearly 2025, that's even worse than playing Christmas music in October, I can't handle it

[@RenegadeHero13]

Holy heck, I was in chat at the start and had to leave, so sad I didn't get to catch this live! Hall of fame for sure!

[@icenovice]

[@breathinginsilence]

omg and all the contraptions too!! im amazed they could fit so much into one level!!

[@Kamikater2]

Holy shit this level is on another level! I literally watched all your videos Carl and therefor saw so many troll levels but this one.... what a masterpiece! I very rarely laugh, but this one had me three times, with the C P = 0, the yoshi hitting the on off button and the magical journey and that's not even all unique things this level had to offer. I bow to the level creator gomachidosudesu with upmost respect!

[@BigDBrian]

My immediate thought was to timer death at the cp0, thereby skipping cp1 entirely. There's no red coins so as far as I know the level couldn't detect a difference between the state there vs later when you get it legit

[@LimeCultivist]
