In this video, we take a look at some of the WORST levels in Super Mario Maker 2 across all modes (except multiplayer). With help from the rank 1 Mario Maker 2 player DSteves, we've managed to filter out the vast majority of all levels and left only ones that the community has decided were not worth playing. Things get a bit crazy in this video, but this is only just the start of what we found.

part 2 soon? 🤔 these levels were tame in comparison to what we found further down the list 😳

Can you do a fall guys video?

would be nice I enjoyed it!

[@noahedwards3090]

Some drew a middle finger and then some drew a middle finger but it was the colors of a pumpkin, with the middle finger being the stem. That I believe is why there are so many pumpkins on that level.

[@plurt6544]

Please I beg part 2

[@volnartheunforgiving3952]

Why that emoji

[@NUGG1ES]

on the pumpkin level, there were a lot of pumpkin drawings because someone made a multi-colored middle finger at the start and everyone statted copying it badly, and it started shifting into a pumpkin kind of like the game telephone where the phrase changes over time because of what people think they heard

[@Entity404SFM]

That end troll in the first tuber level is actually pretty funny when you realize how much it must piss people off who fall for it.

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

I know if I was the creator I'd definitely end a level like that with five way pick a path and a hidden key or something. Just make the experience as unpleasant as possible.

[@mklip2001]

@@guythatdosethingssometimes2651 Disagree. This hidden block troll is funnier IMHO because it's very avoidable if you have reflexes, like rays did, so it's your own fault if you die to it. With a five way pick a path, it's just unfair for the sake of being unfair.

[@guythatdosethingssometimes2651]

@@mklip2001 I know. But imagining the despair of a player who waited through the entire level only to reach the end and come to the realization that they have to beat five way pick a path with very little time on the clock and THEN after they think they've won the level find that they need to get a hidden key is just hilarious to me... Or maybe I'm just sadist. Who knows.

[@BabyMatiny]

Maybe the pumpkins originated from someone posting a middle finger comment that maybe looked like a pumpkin to someone, and they made a pumpkin drawing, which caused everyone else to make pumpkins? Why? Because its funny OOOO

[@Merennulli]

The first level reminds me of one of the first levels I uploaded. It was similar, but you had to run and jump into the pipe at the very moment it started, then just wait out the pipe for the remainder of the 300 seconds, hitting the flagpole just before it timed out. I was proud to receive a comment early on calling it the "worst level in the game". Guess someone beat me to that "honor" with the same idea. 😂

[@OldBenKenobi2318]

I played a level like yours but the timer ran out just as you were about to exit the pipe. It was a 500 second timer I think to. I tried it multiple time then realized there was a way to run over all the pipes. It was a horrible experience lol.

[@Mr-Moron]

Now I'm a total moron when it comes to "How to be mean while still getting past Nintendo" but I think the "pumpkin" is supposed to be a middle finger.

[@ItsYee64]

He sorta figured out the pumpkin thing. The reason for all the pumpkins is because some guy saw someone else made a rather interesting drawing and thought to themselves "oh yeah, it's pumpkin time" and then it just started trending

[@KaydenHockey]

Ghost of DauSteele checking in

[@mklip2001]

Are the pumpkins supposed to represent the propeller mushroom? If it's hidden, then the players could be upset at the "pumpkin" that isn't made obvious.

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

No, I think the pumpkins evolved from the middle fingers somehow. Look at 13:03, you can see somebody left something that's like a middle finger but with the coloration of a pumpkin, it's like a middle stage pokemon. I have no idea what's going on here.

Ask DGR about the Bean Burrito collection if you want bad levels. I think there was an absolutely brutal one called power transfer or something.

[@briandriscoll4570]

Oh god I *HATE* been burritos

[@gowildler]

The only reason why Bean Burritos don’t have the worst like:boo ratio … The fact that the level creator MANAGED TO BEAT THEIR OWN CRAPPY COURSE of TEDIUM and SUFFERING! People (including DGR) acknowledge that and give likes for that reason.

[@TP3200]

This whole time I thought dunkey made up the idea of a Mario level being called "Bean Burrito" as a joke/meme lol

[@harmsc12]

@@TP3200 Nah. It's a reference to a specific level called Bowser's Big Bean Burrito that was ridiculously tedious.

[@CaptainWobbs]

One time, a level I made that I was pretty proud of the idea behind got deleted from the server, like, automatically for being unpopular or something. And seeing all these levels still sticking around just makes it worse.

[@JusteazyGames]

POV: You're scrolling the comments looking for someone to explain the pumpkins, with no luck.

I recognize the creator of the thwomp level either from your video or Panga’s. Maybe this guy is a popular creator?

[@scotterboi9]

To be entirely honest, the third level is jank, but it's not bad. It had somewhat of a cool concept, and it used invisible blocks in a creative way. It's not exactly frustrating, and I wouldn't dislike it if I came across it in endless.

[@mistertagomago7974]

Same.

[@cerulity32k]

Good concept, but not as good an execution. The bowser fireballs are cool though.

[@peytongolding7544]

Honestly, these weren’t that bad. Yeah, the tube level is long and the invis block level is frustrating, but at least these had the slightest bit of effort put in. I’d rather play these than the 35th title screen level uploaded this week. I’m not fully understanding why they’re so boo’d
