Mario Maker's Final Level Beaten by Team 0% Ahead of Wii U Service Shutdown
The last challenge, 'Trimming the Herbs,' revealed as a TAS-created level, marking the end of an ambitious project.
- A group of players, known as Team 0%, successfully completed every community-uploaded level in Super Mario Maker for the Wii U before the game's online services are set to end on April 8, 2024.
- The final level, 'Trimming the Herbs,' which had stumped players for weeks, was revealed to have been uploaded using tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) techniques, making it nearly impossible to beat by regular means.
- Despite the revelation, some members of Team 0% are committed to continuing their attempts to beat 'Trimming the Herbs' for bragging rights, up until the very last moment before the service shutdown.
- The achievement marks the end of an era for Super Mario Maker players as they prepare for the shutdown of online services for Wii U and 3DS games, which also includes the end of online multiplayer and rankings.
- Nintendo notes that some online functionalities, like Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter, will remain available, as they continue to be used by players and rely on online connectivity.
