I get to look at the first troll of the level and think, “I built that”. And then I get to see the streamers react. That feels so good.

Carl "I'm the good guy here" Sagan with an antisoftlock in the first 10 seconds of the level. OH BOY!

46:30 "I have just seen the matrix....and it's hell." This man gets it.

its so awesome that you first show the people getting trolled by the final product, then u show the process you went through to get to that troll. i dont make levels but i can imagine how useful this is

BTW I beat this from start to finish... then back to the start for the upload. 500 second speedrun let's go! I timed out several times, mainly due to the claws :) I'm going to put the clear in an upcoming video since a lot of people are requesting to see it. It was fun, honestly. Can we get a huge shoutout to my 2nd editor Luci who had to look through over 24 hours of video footage to find the best clips for this video, and then edit them into a cohesive and funny story for all of our amusement

Whenever Carl does his "Soothing Voice" I feel fear

At first I was a little sad I didn't know about this level because I wanted to be among the streamers that played it before this video was released. I no longer feel way.

Carl: "I'm the good guy here" Carl, within the next 5 minutes: Shows every possible reason why he is in fact NOT the good guy here

I can't tell if this is a toxic community or a wholesome one

14:05 Carl's mocking tone as the launcher slowly creeps its way up with an abrupt cut is fantastic.

39:06 whoever submitted that must me a really talented troll creator 😏

The presentation of these videos always blows me away. The way the creation, explanation and the footage of streamers were integrated into this video was so well done and it's very entertaining to watch.

The joy of Carl learning the hot mess of ThwompCarSuc was amazing. Even better that it was already hilarious then Steve chimes in and helps it get worse. Brilliant

Carl is such a good guy, he let's streamers to train his trolls be for they really need it XD

0:22 Geek has said 2135 swears this stream GOOD GOD CARL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

That thwomp stealing the car troll has to be one of my favourites of all time. Because it happens so fast you have to process what you just saw. But then you get another clowncar and it just plays itself off as a silly joke. Except when you grab the second clown car you truly realize what the hell happened the first time. All the while it makes 0 sense in the first place.

Thank you, again, for making this level, Carl. Still grinding this level without checkpoints and having fun. And a big thanks to the editor for putting me in here, as well. You all rock.

The special ending for Dan was sublime

can’t believe the only troll i submitted was credited to bedcliff. get ready for MY revenge level . . .

Being there and seeing how horrible ideas went from horrible to more or less horrible and seeing how this level turned out, this was a huge success. Peak level brainstorming. Galaxy brain level design and gg to all who managed to beat this!

the pure despair in geek’s voice before she finished the level hurts a little bit honestly

Thank you so much for including me in this video! It's really cool slash terrifying to get flashbacks to that fateful day that I decided to chase after the Five Golden Swings. Thank you also for all that you do for all of us, from the inspiration you provide to the fun and excitement of watching your most epic of Mario failures. Love you Carl! Thank you for everything and a fantastic job to Luci as well!!!

The live discovery of this video just makes it so much better oh my god, Carl procedes to troll himself while editing the level. ESPECIALLY the “nope my clown car” troll at 19:35

Oh goodness, here it is… thank you for including me in the playtesting for this lovely level, and extra thanks for including me in the video! It was, somehow, genuinely a lot of fun. Can’t wait to bring you our revenge level soon 😋

I'm so shocked that I was in this! If you'd have told me a year ago that I'd be streaming and would also have a clip of mine in a CarlSagan video I wouldn't have believed it. thanks so much! : )

19:31 When the troll you wanted to do works better than you expected, so you have to rework it.

“I’ve seen the matrix and it’s hell” has to be my favorite quote from this video.

"I have just seen the Matrix... and it's hell." Hilarious

Carl: "Oh god... Oh no... Someone stop me! Someone please stop me! I can't Stop!" Chat: "Oh no, please. Keep going."

I normally have a hard time getting interested in level building levels, not because I think the setups are boring, but just because of the long explanations and planning and time it takes to actually build. But Carl's style of explaining his ideas about each section, before interjecting clips of different streamers falling for it, always keeps me entertained. 44:48 OH MY GOT

I was waiting for this compilation. Your evil levels give me a spark of joy.

Is Carl even capable of making a level without some sort of getting over it style progress lock? That Lemmy section.... That's beyond evil

30:17 I'm now 100% convinced, that Carl's just evil by nature! He has a very clever troll at his fingertips, and he just instinctively turns it into hot garbage!

59:20 A great perfectly cut scream

I'm glad my shouts of pain and surprise made it into here lol XD rofl god I love seeing all the streamers reactions that I missed so good.

Carl: "In my benevolence..." Me: "Oh no..."

I love how similar Carl and Geek are when it comes to frustration, celebration, and just like, everything. It’s so fucking good. They need to collaborate more FOR SURE.

What I really love about the design of the level is that you're probably going to fail each section and go through its softlock as well as the ones before it so you kind of play out all the verses of the song during your play through.

Chat: Is this just anti hell? Carl: It's not even an anti. 😈

Genuinely looked like a really fun level that is ALSO a troll level! It has fantastic visual language and and enjoyable theme. Congrats to everyone and merry softlocks of carlsmas past!

The combined efforts of carl and chat got Geek to actually swear once😂! Amazing work everyone!

Look at those smiling faces, those cheers when they get the flagpole. What a wonderful level to bring so much joy and excitement.

I love these videos. It builds such a sense of community, prior to these kinds of videos I didn’t recognize any of these streamers, aside from maybe geek and dgr. Then after one or two I kinda saw who they were but didn’t think I’d really remember, just thought it was cool he was giving a shout out to some lesser known streamers. Now I’m like “dang I wonder how this person might react to that” or “no way I can’t believe THAT streamer did that in this level” I’m excited to see everyone, it’s honestly so cool, and I’m definitely gonna be checking out their streams more often

The absolute genius part of this concept is that in the original song you start with 1, then 2->1 then 3->2->1 and so on, and since you'll get sucked into each anti as you play through the level, you experience it that way, and then you get to play out the whole final verse. Its just brilliant.

This was a beautiful, beautiful level, Carl. I had an absolute blast playing though it! Major props to you and the community for making this masterpiece, and I am beyond excited to dive into your next glorious creation! Thank you so much for including me in the video!

My dream is finally complete... I made it in a CarlSagan42 video. Thanks Carl, this level was so much fun to die in and I cant wait to die in the next one!

“You see that world record...” lol

"I made a special version for Dan" *Rains down fish at him* lmao

I tried this level. I tried so hard to complete it, but...those freaking claws have given me PTSD. To quote what I originally said after trying this level for 4 hours: "This is an absolutely diabolical troll level that a novice SMM2 player as myself thought I could conquer....-Presses the Like button- Well done to you and the community for this masterpiece of terror."

This is the best MM video ever. The way it intermingles design, building, explanation, and streamers playing and reacting makes this more enjoyable than any other MM video I've seen.

2:07. Carl’s “yooo let’s go” is hilarious! It’s possible it was bad timing but I’d like to think he’s stoked geek fell in a trap. Also do more vids with geek, you 2 play off each other very well

1:02 Claims to be ''the good guy'' yet allows chat to actually make a level. Yep, I've seen it all 😆

There's a magical moment, where all the streamers just have this look of realization.... That they've walked boldly into Hell and Stanley has just given them a boquet of roses, extra sharp and fresh from the lava lake.

I like how so many people had trouble with the see-saws when the answer was really simple: just wait and time it. But waiting is anathema to a Mario player so they all tried to brute force it. Thanks for the video content Carl. Thanks for the editing Dave. Thanks for the additional editing Luci.

The thwomp stealing the clown car is one of the funniest trolls I've ever seen in this game. 😂

Who would have thought that panic jumping was the answer to the heart at the end. You'll get em next time Carl.

That moment they realize it. And the line "I have seen the matrix. And it's hell." I just burst out laughing

This was SO GOOD. The Twhomp clown car steal had me cackling

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting on this video! I was unaware of the community contribution though, so this makes it even cooler!

Having recently watched through a bunch of Carl's past troll levels, and now this piece of art, it's truly terrifying watching the so-called "benevolent" mastermind evolve beyond my wildest imagination to create the most evil concoctions known to man

Carl's reaction compilations are some of his best uploads. Always worth at least two viewings, plus it shines light on some of the lesser known streamers out there.

The worst part of the Lemmy ball section is that you naturally can’t die, but you can certainly struggle

True terror at not reaching the flag, and then true elation. What a masterpiece.

What a genius level holy shit. Designing everything to be done in reverse order, getting it all to fit so that you can go from anti to anti in reverse order on the way back... And everything was tailor made to be just difficult enough! Exceptional level design

Yes!! I’ve been looking forward to this! Thanks for hiring a second editor for your viewers to experience this grand occasion!!

There are a *lot* of things to highlight about this level, but my single favorite thing, despite its appearance in other levels, is the up-thwomp. It just (literally) comes out of nowhere to make you have a bad time and it's fucking fantastic. So many amazing trolls in this level, many arguably far better than that, but that's the one that made me laugh the hardest watching the videos of these various creators playing through the level. Also, Defender has lost his way. Once upon a time there were whispers of a holy scripture outlining true troll perfection. It is clear now that any mention of such a document is nothing but idle gossip. Edit: I was reminded toward the end. My single favorite part of this whole endeavor was watching Tanuki Dan grind out the world record. I didn't catch it live, so I only saw the edit on his channel, but...I felt it. Jesus fucking christ dude, you're insane and I love it!

best part is that no matter whats going on, Dan is having the time of his life

I always love your reaction videos to people playing your levels.

Carl… ive watched tons of your videos…. This was by far the funniest and most fun level ever…. The fact the community had such a big role in this it was so fun!! Do more of these!! BEST VIDEO EVER!!

Oh my god, this whole video was absolutely amazing, but the setup that made me legitimately burst out laughing is the fucking shell hidden behind a boo 😭😭.

This is one of your best videos ever. I was not planning on watching the whole thing at once, but it kept me wanting to watch more. Well done and shout-out to Luci.

I was alone for the holidays, as my boyfriend got COVID and fled to an empty apartment to protect me, and all those videos of people playing his clever level made me smile and laugh so much! Thank you, benevolent Larl, for blessing us with lovely trash like this!

I love when carl makes a troll level and then a video like this comes out. It really brings the community together and you get to see all the amazing personalities that make this game fun. Thanks carl for making this happen, thanks luci for the incredible editing, and thanks to all the tormented souls who suffered through this for our entertainment.

ITS FINALLY OUT! Oh my god I’ve waited for this reaction video for SO LONG. It was super fun participating in this level and I was overjoyed to see Carl like and implement one of my ideas. Now, excuse me while I grab some buttered popcorn.

I couldn't be more glad to sacrifice my sleep to Carl's Evil chat sciencing the ever living crap out of MM2 with beautiful art, also called Trolls and Antis. I also cannot fathom how you managed to beat this level under 500 seconds... That must have been hell...

The Thwomp committing GTA is fucking golden.

Aw man, I'm guessing Dave had access to all the footage of Carl building the level so it wouldn't be a surprise for him to stream the level, it feels like something's missing without his clips.

At the end when Geek is shivering in panic and fear you can see Carl typing in her chat "just let her die" What a monster

"What would you think you should do here?" Me: Get the cloud. "Obviously, avoid the cloud shell." Me: Oh...

I'd been waiting for this compilation ever since I saw Juz and Geek struggle through it.

I love the pure joy everyone goes through once they beat the level. And I can't wait until they have to go through an even more infuriating level next time. An endless cycle of pain, for a moment of forgiveness

"I have just seen the matrix, and it's hell" i was already dying from him realizing what was happening and then he dropped that line laskjd I am deceased

i always love these videos of people playing your "amazing" levels. serious props to your editors for putting these videos together

I love it when CarlSegan goes into his calm, quiet, psycopath voice while describing his troll creations. It's such a huge contrast to his normally bombastic nature. It's so menacing and hilarious at the same time

OMG this is the best and funniest troll level yet. With Carl and chat at the reigns, damn it's all genius.

Carl still manages to bring the community emotions that others couldn't get before.

I've watched all your evil troll level making / streamer reaction videos at least twice. This content is SOOOOOO good!

Ever since I saw you working on this on stream I have been waiting for this video. And lets just say I was not disappointed

Thank you Carl. Your compilations are what keep me going in these hard times.

Huge thanks and shout out for all involved with these. I absolutely love watching all the mario maker players playing one of these big troll levels you put out Carl. So much fun watching the whole community -suffer through- enjoy the levels and the highlights you post afterwards. Even though I don't play the game, I can tell it's a super fun and wholesome community. Thanks!

I love this so much! I looked forward to every stream and loved watching this level get more evil and brilliant each time. Your editor is amazing for putting this compilation together ❤

Aw yiss! I've been waiting to see this compilation since I saw DGR play this level. These are absolutely amazing!

I just wanna say that this has been the best edited "streamers react to" video on this channel. I love it, props to the editor.

The editing is insane!!!!!! Somehow kept me hooked to the very end, love all the content!!!!

I've been waiting for this! Upload has coincided perfectly with me finishing work for the week. This next hour is gonna be much better than the nap I was planning to have!

These videos are my favorite, a breakdown followed by all the streamer reactions and unique playthroughs is so entertaining.

Been waiting for this one for a month, wonderful.

I look forward to these so much. There's nothing funnier than an evil carl level reaction compilation!

Thank you Carl and luci_4k I've been waiting for this for a while. Love your compilations

Been waiting for this video for so long. You once again prove to be an evil, maniacal genius.
