The Funniest Antisoftlock // Super Mario Maker 2 Troll Levels

[@the_bookworm8281]

30:07 I like how Carl was so blind about dodging the CP1 that he ended up dodging the biggest troll of this level. I guess blindness could pay-off sometimes... mostly not.

[@marsupialmole3926]

The level creator was too many steps ahead of Carl

[@58209]

[@BaconNuke]

Wasn't that troll made specifically knowing Carl would actually dodge CP1 though? Somehow Carl outplayed the troll by being too dumb to realize he could dodge CP1...

“That level sucks, let’s play another one” is a quote from Carl’s GDQ speedrun of Yoshi’s Island. Oh what a fine find of antiquity.

[@PsychoDiesel48]

I LOVE THAT VIDEO!!! It has Trihex being godly (mostly ;) ), a freaking Fire Alarm, cold hands, an absolutely sublime bonus game, Auto Scroll Swag, and Carl being an extra cherry on top with a glitch% run after it. Perfect

[@CarlSagan42]

Yesssssssssssssss

[@ChristopherMoom]

13:52 Someone's eventually gonna figure out a way to force the player to do something like play a Panga level just to die

[@nessthepsycho6252]

Give 'em a few more months and someone will come up with a sadistic contraption so evil and masochistic that'll make you wish Mario Maker 2 never came out!

[@sanityormadness]

At that point, it just becomes a CP0 or de-facto actual-softlock (depending on whether they go 'f-this, Start Over' or 'f-this, I'm waiting out the timer.)' Or, of course, 'f-this, I quit' - see Carl's Getting Over It troll level reaction video for examples of the last one.) There's a limit, is what I'm sayin'.

[@tokeivo]

@@sanityormadness The trick is, of course, to reveal the panga level one screen at a time, so that the victim doesn't know that he can't die yet.

[@kwisowofer9872]

but you can die easily in a Panga level

[@jcruz821]

This almost sounds like the opposite of the level Carl played where it looks like a hard level until it tells you it's an auto scroll level.

[@SenatorBus]

For the level that would not die, I put in everything that I could pull from the video (still up on youtube) and had multiple people review it to make sure the placements were identical. I was unable to put anything outside of what you showed us, but I feel the essence of hot garbage is enough to mask anything I wasn't able to see. Changes: Added the Kaizo block in the bombs that earlier Carl wanted (and benevolent editor showed he wanted) Bowser stack had to be ran on a mole running on a track to replicate the speed. Apparently stack speed has been changed. Bowser fire does seem to be changed as my guess is that previous bowser fire despawned after a distance where here it obviously just creates a giant wall of fire. Added fart sound effects to large bomb coming out of pipe and the springs by the flag, as we all know Carl would have put in his first level. There is one hidden pow block as an Easter Egg for Foggles. Don't forget to show this level again on your last SMM2 stream before SMM3 gets released. I'll ceremoniously delete it for you then... and obviously re-create it for SMM3.

[@thatoneguy9582]

SenatorBus did he delete the original level?

"You better not have another one there." **secretly hoping there's another one there**

[@nickkurtz7341]

There’s this paradox that I am familiar with that’s similar to what happens in troll levels with Carl. It explains a situation where a donkey that is equally hungry and thirsty is placed half way between a bucket of water and a pile of hay. Since it cannot decide which to go for, it dies of both hunger and thirst.

Since cows are mammals they do eat/drink milk when they're young. Kinda the whole point of milk.

[@janalawinterwing8589]

The original question Carl answered was "What do cows EAT?" Grass. Later in the video, Carl misquoted it as "What do cows drink?"

[@IGSA101]

@@janalawinterwing8589 I know, the act of consuming milk uses both terms. We sometimes refer to younger mammals as eating milk, due to the thicker nature of some species milks. Human milk for instance is very thin early on and gets thicker later on.

~Carl ignores line indicator that hidden block is there.~ ~Carl is surprised when vine gets blocked by hidden block.~ Never change Carl, never change.

Best part is he doesn't even know he did! Oh wait...never mind. Fifty-fifty-ninety strikes again. I thought for sure Carl wouldn't be dumb enough to not notice he could dodge CP1 with how things were set up. I was proven wrong. Carl's reaction to the recreation of his own level is great. Thanks for the video content Carl. Thanks for the editing Monokel.

I really appreciate trolls that tell you how to survive using arrows. But everything else you see cause you to completely ignore them

[@TheSorrowfulAngel]

That speedrun anti-softlock could be a whole level. Make a level - a kaizo, a troll, whatever, just needs to be hard - and basically "punish" every death with a different speedrun. With 2 checkpoints and on/off block stuff, you can have 4 different speedruns. If you can somehow reuse a checkpoint cleverly, you can have even more.

[@isaacbailey3681]

I actually said “Go in the door!” when you got to that P-Switch Door at the end, not thinking it could be a troll and just automatically assuming it to be the intended route. Then I saw the Bill again and realized there could be a troll, and then Toad nyoooomed into the flagpole. So basically I dumb-dodged a troll in a level I wasn’t even playing.

Good troll level: must make decisions that backfire in unexpected ways ("decision-backfire deaths") Bad troll level: mechanics that you cannot see coming, making you die and repeat the section ("random garbage forced deaths") pausing at 19:21 to comment because this level has some of the latter, e.g. "haha here's a random cape power-up coming from no where that you probably aren't in a position to grab"
