This is the MOST BRUTAL Level of 2024.

At least he's consistent 😂😂

[@sparkybig9799]

[@adamsteiner7352]

it was so funny that 2 seconds later it turned into an autoscroll dark level

[@Martman321]

*495 second clear-check time out of 500 possible seconds* ryu: better take this slow and steady

[@mic01851165]

Tbf, this stage does not allow you to get hit at all so ofc he would take it slow and steady.

[@phosphorus4]

Well that’s the time from the level builder, this is ryu were talking about 😎

[@supersmoo7377]

Anyone else notice Ryu is bad with counting the timer sometimes? When he was down to 140 seconds he said "We have a minute and 40 left". No, Ryu... 140 seconds = 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

[@Orle_Theandril]

20:36 "Why do shiny golden coins not light up the darkness?" - Very deep, very meaningful question, man...

[@popcornhair6584]

Deep

[@crunchyfootfungus3909]

Why do you think the coins are shining? Correct, the light! What isn't in a dark level? *Light.*

[@bretterry8356]

There was no reason for the clear condition, since Bowser having a required key was enough that you had to kill him to beat the level. They definitely should have had checkpoints. The first one could be after the autoscroll, and the second one could be in the light area before the red coin challenge. Also, the hidden key in the autoscroll area was bogus.

[@jmoriarty8000]

Guy probably wanted others to suffer since he has to beat it without a checkpoint before he can upload it

[@someguyontheinternet5448]

If he put checkspoints, you have had link power ups so you could damage through some parts and the timer wouldn't have been tight.

[@ItApproaches]

No, it's for the content. Gotta make it bs.

[@yeezusfan8372]

I think it's just to show there are no checkpoints and the player is in for a wild ride.

[@MadMax-ii8gq]

Exactly, the clear condition was pointless. There should have been at least one checkpoint when exiting the dark section.

[@gulliver9086]

31:00 that was insane lmao. catlike reflexes

[@sawyerslack9782]

That could have ended horribly. Bowser fire deaths are one of the worst.

[@littleviener]

Dark level, clear condition (no checkpoint), hidden keys, 8 minute clear check. Sounds fun!

[@Reconsiderate]

lmao 5:31 "i had to consult the latest issue of nintendo power to find that key" 😂🤣

Oh dear god

[@mreevee7785]

Nah thats just a cloud, i checked in the level viewer and theres no thwomp there.

[@Rocky2418]

30:59 - As you were dropping my brain screamed, 'Grab the vine before you reach the ground in case there's random fire!' Also, "very easy level for beginners." In accordance with my well-established rule pertaining to level creators labeling the difficulty of their own levels... that would've been an insta-skip for me before even entering.

[@damonztr]

man I laughed so much at 10:39

[@kythlyn]

"Off-screen Thwomps are always funny."

[@raznaak]

For Ryu to say "fuck", it would have needed to REALLY piss him off XD

[@legrinch6987]

17:05 That sly old bar-steward making the last hit on Boom Boom a jump.

[@maggot806]

Ryu please could you show the clear time after you beat a level with a tight timer? The first one for example it would have been interesting to see how close you were to timing out

[@Daomus]

Me waiting to see if he gets to the end of the level without killing a bowser lol

[@christophtoifl6848]

Yeah same! For some reason I thought he had to kill bowser junior in the dark section and he was going to be really unhappy when he reaches the end. ...😂

[@LeonardoGPN]

"That's actuallly a pretty good level" immediately becomes a dark level that finishes with a keydoor with the key in a random hidden block.

[@PowrUsr.]

This is one for the ages. Man what an achievement. Enjoyed every second of the journey/misery. My hat's off to you sir.

[@johnd2946]

Mario Maker is a great diagnostic tool for sociopathy. People who make levels like that are guaranteed sociopaths.

What episode was the car level?

[@goodfella1401]

This was on par with the horrible car level, Terrible Life Decisions, the spinies raining from the sky level, the 500 second speedrun, and the counting coins level where we first got introduced to what The Joker version of Ryukahr sounds and looks like when he died because of the disappearing cloud at the very end of the level

[@jmoriarty8000]

Car level was definitely worse, really the only thing that made this bad was no checkpoints. Actually a good level if there was at least one

[@MrCaturday]

Don't forget the one screen level with a million ghosts in hidden blocks.

[@AnthonyDentinger]

And don’t forget the 12 left midair level.

[@FearfulFellow]

Could I get a link to that last one?

[@Daxdax006]

Or the dashie level from 7 years ago

[@crawfather]

2 checkpoints would have made that one level perfect. Even the dark parts weren't crazy bad.

[@MadMax-ii8gq]

Exactly, nothing about the level was poorly designed other than having no checkpoints because of a pointless clear condition.

[@mreevee7785]

​@@MadMax-ii8gqor the hidden key...

[@lpgoodgamer7137]

Well and the random hidden key and a few troll segments

22:49 Because of this exact habit where you zoomed in just now. You always turn around when dropping off ledges, so you just stabbed to the right, literally not even in the direction of the goomba.

[@sandmanxo]

At least this hot garbage is giving me some good laughs. I'm taking a break from chainsawing a huge tree that partially fell on my house and this is some mich needed entertainment for a few minutes.

[@zerogravity2264]

Timing out at the end would have just been satisfying and relatable because I've been in similar situations and choose to replay the level again to clear it. Hope you're doing well enjoy your day.

Accessing the secret nintendo dev menu and checking the box marked "im making a hot stinky garbo level" that removes the entity limit and doubles the max distance from start to goal

[@robfrancois]

Dude. I appreciate your diligence. Now get to the damn car level!

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

Difficulty metrics are something that Nintendo needed to add to user inputs in MM2. I have a bunch of levels that can't seem to find an audience because they're meant to be hard but fair, but because only people who want easy levels seem to play them. Troll levels like this need users to be able to label them as such. "Kaizo" ratings should be possible for them. An example: NXW-2B2-WVG

[@Zektb]

I don't understand why most clear conditions are used when they can be replaced by keys and keys don't stop you from adding checkpoints.

[@biogopher]

22:38 the turn back 💀

[@Azure70]

20:20 Can’t you kill those ghosts with the sword?

[@Harrery]

I think I prefer playing the random levels over the endless mode, just something about having endless attempts and just freely playing through levels of your choice is more fun than a mode where you’re guaranteed to lose

[@chisecrecy4974]

If I had to guess, I would imagine the level probably started off relatively normal, then the creator kept adding things, then they played their level and realized how long and tedious it was to complete. Now from here, they could have toned it down and maybe gotten rid of the auto-scrolling or shortened it down. Instead, they went with the nuclear option, making a tight-timer 500 second dark level with hidden thwomps, Boom Booms, and an inability to take damage. Essentially, it started off innocently, but the creator listened to the little devil on their shoulder at every turn.

[@mic01851165]

Holy shit a 8 min stage w.o checkpoint and no hit allowed and clear condition This stage creator is a lunatic.
