I think everyone that watches the videos are well aware of how hard they are lol

[@nikkithefoxunderscore]

Something I like to tell people that have a hard time understanding just how hard this level is, is that Braden is one of the best Mario Maker players out there. He's not a nobody who took 7 years on a level. This is a level that took an extremely skilled player, who got relatively lucky, 7 years and over 4000 hours.

[@Cwg.]

Its not luck? Lmao

[@Deathranger999]

Just curious, what luck did you think he had?

[@nikkithefoxunderscore]

@@Deathranger999 When I mention luck in reference to a skill-based grind, I'm talking about how good his performance was in comparison to how it was likely to go. After he had buffed the final shell setup in the level, he never died to it in a run even though he was very likely to die there multiple times, setting him back potentially years from the clear. The fact that Braden was able to clear the level at the difficulty it held in 7 years rather than 10+ is essentially him lucking out. When a level is that difficult, you can't just clear it based on your skill alone and in many ways it becomes a waiting game except you actually have to dedicate your involvement to it, and Braden was very likely to have waited much longer than he actually did.

[@Deathranger999]

@@nikkithefoxunderscore IDK, when it comes to this kind of time scale I’m not sure if I agree with you that getting it when he did was luck. Could it have taken longer? Yeah, absolutely, but I still wouldn’t consider it lucky that he got it when he did. Given that he got to the end section multiple times before beating it, would you not consider that to be a little bit unlucky? Any one of those could’ve been successful. It goes both ways. And WRT the changed shell section, if that’s a section he had failed on a lot before (or perhaps even if not), I’m sure he practiced it a lot in isolation before attempts. But my main point is that it’s easy to look at this and say “if one little thing had gone wrong, he wouldn’t have beat it on this attempt.” It’s less easy to look at his thousands of previous attempts and say “hey, maybe if something had gone a little more right, he would’ve beaten it then.” Luck and unluck. I don’t think anyone can know which was more of a factor. But it happened nonetheless. :)

[@Joosh_Canoe]

Unpopular opinion: The MAKING of this level is more impressive. The fact that this guy not only beat this level, but set the whole thing up with perfect timing, added more to it as he went along with increasingly complex contraptions, and some how worked through Mario Makers goofy limitations is unfathomable. I could not BEGIN to think how long it would would take to make something like this.

[@cytos]

That's also a straight up incorrect opinion. Beating the level is 1,000x harder than making it.

[@JustPineapple]

Depends on how you look at it, there are many points supporting both sides of the argument (Making Vs Playing) but the main thing I see is that while making a level, you can quickly and easily make revisions but when playing a level, it takes hours to even master or realize when something is impossible.

[@DankOldAcc]

probably like 50-200 hours (extremely rough estimate) of making the level and like 4k hours to beat it

[@swarthygiant1463]

@PineapplethePine I havmt watched him but knowing MM he probably made this whole thing in sections, probably had multiple level “saves” that were just sections and when he had successfully made another room of hell he’d go into the master level and add it block by block in a way that works into the previous section. At the start he wouldn’t even have to do that because he could take a chunk of the subworld to make his rooms/setups then just copy and paste move them to where they need to go. If he’s even slightly sane (which at this point I won’t take for granted lol) he also had areas saved or portions where he could place Mario without breaking g the timing so he could practice each part of the level on it’s own

For an insanely hard level, this level at times looks surprisingly open but that just adds to the difficulty, especially for players discovering the route and inputs

[@trickturne]

yeah, i think it would be even harder for someone else to beat it, since they don't have the knowledge Braden does being the creator of the level.

[@popermen694]

Ya I play a lot of Mario Maker. Open levels are even harder to beat as it’s not obvious what to do and you can’t use the walls to guide your movement. This level, everything has to be perfect.

[@cytos]

The reason it's open isn't to make it harder to figure out. It's just because Braden runs out of part limits by spamming a bunch of entities everywhere, and it also consumes more time, which helps with Braden's goal of making the level use the full timer.

[@lanexyz]

Yo! I've been a part of the mario maker kaizo community for about 6 years, so I'd like to give my own insight on this: First of all, it is so awesome that you decided to make a video on this, everyone agrees that it did not blow up on twitter as much as it should have, so it's really awesome that you brought attention to a much bigger audience It's hard to overstate just how unbelievable trials of death is, to put into perspective, the vast majority of hard level uploads take less than 100 hours to upload, occasionally there will be a couple hundred hour grind for the absolute hardest of the hardest levels, so when we compare braden's trials of death, which took like 4300 hours, it's a huge outlier, that's because it truly is, far and away the hardest level in mario maker, undisputed, in just about every way, the individual tricks in the level are actually somewhat tame, but the obstacles he put around everything makes it all so insanely precise and much less tame and as you mentioned many times, require near perfect timing for a lot of things this level truly is an absolute marathon of perfection until the very end, this level is a bit over 8 minutes in-game time, to put this into perspective, most of the hardest levels range from about 30 seconds, to about 90 seconds, some of the absolute hardest long levels might surpass 4 minutes, so 8 minutes is once again a huge outlier, because it is very hard to make extremely hard levels that long, you only get 100 sprites (that is, stuff like boos, shells, springs, saws, fire balls, etc) in the overworld, and 100 in the subworld, this should also hopefully show just how masterful trials of death is as a creation Also, the end of the video where he clowned on snaggy, snaggy is pretty well known from 2017-2018 where he was one of the most annoyingly rude people I personally have ever known in the maker community, so it's really satisfying to see him put on blast at the end I would like to let it be known that there is actually 1 player who has been eyeing this level down for years, his name is KingBoo, and he is undoubtedly good enough to beat the level, so good luck to him! Lastly, everyone please follow ChainChompBraden on twitch, and watch his video on trials of death, this video doesn't quite do the video justice, it's a 40 minutes long adventure throughout the last 7 years of this level

All the WC3 funmaps i completed to around 70% and then the repetition hit me and i just couldn't copy past triggers etc. anymore.. And all the games in my steam library with 90% achievements since the last remaining are actually taking up some kind dedication to finish... .. I guess i'll play some MC after i finish work.. o7
