Thanks to the help of DSteves and his level database, we were able to come up with a series of level lists that attempted to filter out the BEST levels in Super Mario Maker 2 that you might've never seen or heard of before. The results we got were definitely surprising.

[@raysfire]

what is your favorite level? 🤔

[@Kitten_Me1023]

(placeholder text)

[@deleondaniel6206]

Troll levels

[@Celobia]

kaizo

[@silvermalwareai4047]

Definitely the first one. Still have no idea what going on, which make it seem like real life because I'm lost irl all the time

[@failedcabbage]

definitely the lisa mohner

[@DSteves]

Also worth mentioning how likes and boo work in VS, it counts as one "play", but since a VS match can be up to 4 players, that single play could actually produce 4 likes or 4 boos so that's why those levels needed to be omitted since VS would mess things up for likes vs plays, this is evident when you see levels that have more likes or boos than plays, since VS only includes easy and normal, a lot of these levels are forcibly in expert / super expert.

[@constendo]

I don’t know if you meant this or not, but to be clear, a versus play does *not* count towards the single player plays, neither do boos, likes do however. There is a stat for versus plays under “more info” for each level. Also I’m not sure if a like in a 4-player-lobby makes the like count increase by 4 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@constendo]

Since you are the smm2 meta nerd though I’m not gonna argue with you lmao

For anyone curious, the song at 12:10 is Odo by Ado. Great up and coming Japanese singer and you can find all her songs on KZbin!!

[@Punlock1]

thanks for posting this. not normally into non english music but damn, that girl has pipes, and that song is amazing

[@mizonokuchi029]

I think the first level is actually a tech level where you have to run back and forth within a short range to get a triple jump. The comments by the creator are just replies to bunch of other commenters.

[@UltiMaker2]

I remember watching this on stream, he typed in a level code and got the first digit wrong and actually got another valid level code...

[@AngryHen-zd7qt]

[@clintvanweerdhuizen4211]

What level, what code, and what digit?

[@buttercupirl]

“1-1 but I draw 100 among us” absolutely killed me. I couldn’t stop laughing for minutes on end. Thank you.

[@freekendal]

"I can do this!" "So we are going to move on to the next one..."

[@mcsmileycorp]

Jokes aside the Lisa mohner is pretty accurate, for mario maker at least. Even without the title you can tell what it's supposed to be.

[@shroomyspear3961]

also the eyes looking back and forth lol

[@georgedoty-williams2085]

I respect a man who apologises to the 1Up

[@matrick2227]

12:07 this song is Odo by Ado if anyone is wondering or want to check it out for comparison sake.

[@harryskywalker6814]

HECK YOU SHEPHERDOFNONE! (chat at 12:10)

[@mrcrazyy3]

Yeah Heck you Shepherdofnone XD

[@DSteves]

Stay scientific, friends!

[@eros5708]

that farming level is very creative and cute : )

[@thomasverslycken2563]

0:04 i've actually found a couple of levels in the popular levels category that we're pretty bad, however exept for easy difficulty only the bad ones were all pretty low - near the bottom & i said exept for easy difficulty but i believe most levels were special refreshing, somehow not even the popular levels list has a good easy difficulty, it has some good levels but it's even then still a pretty bad difficulty overall

[@AV-yk3ng]

did NOT expect to see ado on here lmao

[@chopsticks9826]

I think a useful metric for good levels would be plays : boos ratio. You should see what that looks like

[@bennyfactor]

I think because of the niches, you should make the cutoff 500 plays or something like that instead of 100.

[@Crumbling_Vortex]

Imagine getting ratioed in Super Mario Maker

[@failedcabbage]

L(uigi) + ratio

[@failedcabbage]

12:10 ShepherdOfNone D:

[@dave2863]

I think a lot of these levels have been propelled to this position via like4like. That would explain the high like to play ratio. im certain "Lorena" does like4like.

[@allenz0rzer]

You're heck of a basebald player!

[@GammaKamui]

man, no way that dude made Odo in smm. loved it.

[@FolkPenguin]

Refreshing levels on the popular tab:

[@CyaninAnimator]

i love how at one point the chat is just spamming copypastas

[@galxeviv9576]

I only recognized the pokemon xyz opening and the Yugioh one but it was a banger

[@coralcat5706]

Ceave Gaming's Rougelike level is my favorite

[@luigiaiden2501]

Ray is the best guys :)

[@MitchBurns]

Can you do the levels with the highest (likes-boos)/plays ratio?

[@awesomebluetoad8945]

The forgoten fairy forest level is based of of a Snes mouse game called Mario vs Wario.

[@KaydenHockey]

Shudhead checking in

[@gamearki]

how could I see this science can I have the link to try it out?

[@Celobia]

welp, not my level then

4:31 KEKW Rayschat whyd you reply like that to me

[@InsanityoftheSanities]

1:07 Hi me w/ the oh nice

[@SmashKirb]

The zero2 music song thx for playing(Not my level)

[@ih2n]

Besides speedruns and refreshings...

[@nicolaom]

Add one like and one dislike and see the ratio, that way you can see a good ratio in any level

[@adipy8912]

Here's ho Ceave did it in SMM1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGHYlI1qmNminJo

[@Mr.Lunafish]

Was hoping this would be sharing how to find the levels. I see in the comments some database is mentioned but no link given? Not entirely helpful

[@VictorJohansson-qv7hf]

what IS a title screen level?

[@ottothant566]

On the first level I think you have to triple jump.

[@brikfanz]

Rays enjoying playing a baseball level because he wasn't allowed on the team in school because he used his axe that he brought to school and put in his locker as his bat

[@kimmin6840]

i‘m early :)

[@LucasDanielCab5]

Hi early

[@RealGaming69]

Second

[@haroldsaxon1075]

Rather than the best levels, I think these are more representative of the least polarizing levels. They've all been fairly well made levels with a low enough difficulty to avoid excluding less skilled players. Not everyone will love them, but there is very little reason to dislike them.

[@neneenenejrkerre1828]

what is a benitfotty

[@eros5708]

getting over it with bennett foddy is a notoriously difficult game about climbing upwards :) rays and panga use "bennett foddy" to refer to smm2 levels with similar gameplay

OK boomer" or "okay boomer" is a catchphrase and internet meme often used by millennials and Gen Z to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers, people born in the two decades following World War II.

[@Elizabeth-by7gz]

Algorithm Comment :)

[@HappyLeeHL]

I'm sorry, but these are clearly not the best SMW2 levels, so your "science" might be defective. I'd suggest using a better algorithm finding the best levels.

[@tgrcode]

Definitely, there's probably a few more stats that can be used
