Crazy to think we have a date for the servers shutting down after all these years. I hope the un-cleared levels all get beat. Edit: 1 insane level left. Good luck for all those trying. You got this! Edit: lol, trimming the hedge level was cheated 0 left. You guys rock.

For the first level, I expected way worse. For the last one, though, I exepected better.

The creator uploading the last level really was rapid fire uploading, All the levels are called "a", which means he just selected the first letter available in the keyboard and uploaded it

Those first levels were probably from a Nintendo developer or tester testing the production server’s functionality or seeding some so the first paying customer had things to try.

Another thing people forgot about the first Mario Maker, when it came out, you didn't have all the parts unlocked when you first got the game. They unlocked bit by bit, I think based on time spent making levels.

There was a guy who spent years trying to upload an extremely hard level to SMM1, trying to upload it on streams, he never ended up being able to upload it before Nintendo disabled uploading.

Interviewer: "What makes you qualified for this position?" Dave: "Well, I don't know much about computer science...but I DO have the world record on the very first level of Mario Maker 1!" Interviewer: "You're hired!"

I like how the first level is in SMB.1 style. And last one is in NSMB. style. It almost seems made on purpose

The last level uploaded was done with a kid. The title of one of the levels is "Hi, I'm Ryota's mom. He has a Twitter, and he's moved on to Mario Maker 2"

dawg when he said "first we need to go back to September 11 2000..." i thought he was about to say mario maker caused 9/11

MM1 1.0 also made you wait over time to unlock tools to play with to make levels with

for the first level i expected better, like maybe one of those enemy spam levels that give you a star and there's a lot of different springs and sounds and all, those are fun for the last level i expected better, like maybe one of those enemy spam levels that give you a star and there's a lot of different springs and sounds and all, those are fun

Fun fact: If Mario Maker 1 was released in September 2015, and Mario Maker 2 was released in June 2019, then, following the same pattern, Mario Maker 3 should’ve released in March 2023, which was seven months ago.

I was expecting the 1st one to be a 1-1 Remake honestly because of the booklet, but the reviewers may not have had the booklet. I do think that last one was just uploading until the server wouldn't let them upload. That is immediately what I thought when I saw it and then when you showed the other uploads, that proved it

The last creator was probably someone spam uploading to try and get the last level ever uploaded

the first level being an SMB1 level and the last being a NSMB level seems quite fitting.

The very first level ever uploaded to Super Mario Maker having the word "OOOF" in its code is such a meme

Even with the servers shutting down I wish there was still a way to play all the levels, like an archive of some sort. History should be preserved. A lot of these levels took time and effort to make. When the servers shut down does that mean they'll just be erased for good?

Another thing about SMM1 I bet most people forget. You didn't even get most of the stuff to make levels with until either time passed or you did some things. So the first levels all had to be very simple, they had no choice.

So the last thing ever placed in Super Mario Maker 1, in an uploaded level, was a Spike Trap. The first was most likely Ground. The question is, was it Underground Ground? Only the creator can tell us and they probably didn't care to remember.

Technically there are uncleared levels with patched glitches like phantom jumps but if everyone mass reported them they would be deleted, but that's a moral question

Nostalgia overload and I never even owned a Wii U or MM 1. I only started watching Dave in late 2018 but its insane how time is so fleeting. The amazing streamers and communities that spawned from this game is always going to be this games greatest legacy

1:25 I thought he was about to start talking about 9/11.

Some background information as well, data ids for levels are a number and the way the game numerically and in chronological order stores levels in the game based on release date. Fortunately its very easy to find this number from the level code itself by taking the last 12 digits of the course id and converting it to base 10. This is why you see the four 0's every single level on the second set of four digits because we never got far enough to make it to 0001. (The first four digits are just a checksum) Now with that said, you can derive the two endpoint data ids presented in this video, 1,008,512 and 69,559,301. From the data I found for SMM1, there exists 10,610,412 levels spanning those 69,559,301-1,008,512 = 68,550,789 data ids. That's a lot of levels that were removed by the player or deleted by Nintendo! In contrast SMM2 started at 3,000,004 for it's data id and is currently around 47,277,891 ish during this present minute I'm making this post. My database for SMM2 contains over 32 million levels in it which makes me wonder why SMM1's level distribution is a lot less dense than SMM2. A theory I have could be that it was too easy to copy levels in SMM1 since if you downloaded any level the first prompt it gives you is "would you like to edit it?" So a lot of near duplicates got removed. What do you guys think?

I expected the first level to be worse, and the last level to be much better haha. It'd be awesome if someone tried to replicate nintendo's servers and download all the existing levels. Idk if anyone would be able to figure it out in time though.

The last level is what I imagined the first level to look like. Is this the punchline..

For Japan the release date of SMM1 was 10th of September, i guess the first level was maybe from a dev or someone who got the game from nintendo before the release

I agree with your take on the last level. The name is basically just "A" so they probably just wanted the last.

First level I expected far worse to be honest I fully expected it to be like a test upload of just 1 goomba and a flag right behind it

8:44 ah yes mario maker 2's last level

It's crazy that we've come this far. Playing and designing levels in MM1 was a joy when I was a kid. I can't believe it's all going away...

I was expecting the first level to be someone re-creating 1-1 from memory; so it'd be mostly accurate, but maybe 1 or 2 squares off here and there. Boy was I wrong 😂

This is why I wish supertux had a maker mode, it has a built in level editor that was conceived before the maker style became popular so while it does allow easier independence and archival it's a bit more complicated to work with in comparison.

Nintendo's best bet for a MM3 would be to officially endorse certain makers and players, with the "hopes" that you might be able to become one. That would encourage GOOD levels, AND a plethora of levels.

the level is called "Can you climb through the wall?"

kinda expected the first one to just be a 1-1 remake😭

The mental flashbang of the last level was that it didn’t have a troll invisible block

1:24 got scared for a second there

the first level is pretty much exactly what i expected honestly haha. just a little something someone did to mess around and make a level! i wonder if this was a nintendo employee or something

Last level makes total sense. I remember when vidme was shutting down people couldn't upload videos for like the last week of operation, but if you had unlisted videos if they were made public it was like they were newly uploaded, and they had a thing where you could see the most recently uploaded videos on the entire site. A lot of us with unlisted videos were trying to be "the last video uploaded."

Good vid. I was expecting hot trash or uninspired stuff for the first level, and that's exactly what I got. What I wasn't expecting was that the final level would just be a single-screen level with no inspiration behind it at all.

I've always wondered... if you got this game Day 1 were there almost no levels in it? Did they have pre-loaded levels or give early access to makers so the 100man wouldn't be barren?

I love how the last level is somehow worse than the first lmao its so fitting

I really do hope that people clear the rest of the unclear levels in the game.

Funny that the final level is exactly what we all probably thought the first level would be.

I hope this means we'll get Mario Maker 3 soon!

I hope when the Mario Maker 2 servers go down, the last level in MM1 is remade as the last level in MM2.

It’s so cool to see how similar but different Mario maker 1 and 2 are

He really was able to stall for 13 minutes with 1 minute of content.

If the first level was curated I would expect it to be better. However, I realistically would expect it to be short and bad since that would be the way to have the "first" one uploaded. Would that level actually be the first level? Or just the oldest remaining level?

1:26 "We're going to need to go back to September 11, 20-"

Super fun idea, but those levels were so underwhelming. Just normal, run of the mill stuff. Ah well!

The first level actually is quite well designed, considering it's probably just a quickly made trial to test the Maker's very basic functions.

Getting that World Record was awesome dude. Kind of a silly thing, but also kind of strangely beautiful.

Wow GG on that WR

I have to say that when I first saw your videos I wasn't impressed but since then you are my new favourite as far as gaming goes......Thank You ❤😊

You will forever be remembered, Mario maker 1 ❤

What’s the music used for the wr grind? I’m sure I know it but I can’t remember the exact game/scene

The last level uploaded is exactly what I expected the first one to be like. The first level uploaded was surprisingly intricate.

It's not just you. The shadows were the first thing I noticed.

8:46 the last level uploaded in "mario maker 2"

What a magnificent final level, that shows the level of effort most level creators put into their levels lol.

It's kinda cool that the 1st level ever was made in the mario 1 style and then the last level ever was made in the newest style at the time, mario u.

I was more-or-less expecting the same quality for both levels

My 5 year old self would be crying right now if he knew the game was getting shut down

I JUST PLAYED MARIO MAKER 1 LIKE AN HOUR AGO!? I MUST HELP FINISH THE REST OF THE UNCLEARED COURSES!

You may take the record.. You may take the first clear... But you cant take the first first upload

This was really cool. I wish that that one super hard level that was worked on for a long time was able to be uploaded but alas.

That was a neat little video.

Big props to that guy who made the first batch of Super Mario Makers levels. Thanks to him, we got a collection of small and fun stages for everyone to play the moment the game released. I am sure a lot of Day 1 players were greeted to this selection of stages when the played endless for the first time.

1:28 OF ALL DAYS IT HAPPENED TO BE THAT ONE?!?!

Hopefully there is a way that levels can be saved for the future

When he said "September 11th" and then paused, my brain totally was thinking 2001

That first level was indeed one of the biggest oooo ooof's of all time SuperVinlin Gg on the wr tho :p

The Squidward overlay slaughtered me.

The sad thing about this is that it's not like these levels had to be lost. A more generous company might've uploaded/allowed the public to download the data set and even host their own third party servers to allow the game to keep living on, once they were shutting down the official one. But knowing Nintendo, I'm sure that sort of thing was never even considered, much less allowed to happen.

Didn’t know they released it on 9/11 🤔

For the first level uploaded in the game, the level design is pretty intuitive. Jumps you have to think about and then the spring at the end with the piranha plant that could snipe you if you wait too long.

So what are the chances someone makes a new level at the last minute to have one uncleared level before it goes offline

RIP Super Mario Maker, you will probably be missed, maybe.

i originally thought it was going to be like a little timmy course...

Bro I lowkey miss mario maker... I hope they really do consider making a new installment in the series, cuz the community was so wholesome and fun. Whether it's for the switch or for the new installment.

‘Another day’ better be soon.

Given the fact that the level with five spikes appears to be uploaded at 21:05, I think the last creator was adding a spike to it and reuploading every minute past 21:00 that the server was still up and running beyond its scheduled shutdown time

I think the first level was pixel art of Mario with his dong hanging out.

How mad would you have been if the last level uploaded turned out to be Braden's?

I definitely was expecting a 1-1 as the first level😂

8:42 "The Last Level Ever Uploaded In Mario Maker 2 Friends" I think Dave needs more sleep because this isn't Mario Maker 2

Why are people expecting the VERY last level to be a good one?? And the first creator’s name is kojiru …which Google Translate says means pry And yeah, basically 3 PM not 2

if i would've unlisted this video in my recoms list i wouldn't know now, WELL SHIT

This video is me when I have to write an essay but need to meet the word count

i remember that first day of having mario maker 1, when all the levels were japanese because the game wasn't supposed to be out for me yet but the store gave me it one day early for some reason lol

Honestly given that one grind, I think it might be a good idea to get him into actual speed running

Idk who is gonna try beating Trials of Death before the server shuts down. That might be one of the few levels of the 24k that just can't be beat in time.

I freaked out when I thought this was about SMM2 xD

I don't know what I was expecting for the first level, but I was definitely expecting you to die more times than you should have.

I expected the first level to be a little longer (but not much). I expected the last level to be far better. Maybe you could do a few more levels from the user that uploaded "Through the Wall". I'd be interested in seeing that.

Did I expect the first and last levels of MM1 to be awful? The first, I definitely expected. Don't know if you remember, but MM1 was kind of crippled early on: not only were there a lot of things you couldn't do at all (checkpoints, etc,) there were a lot of things you couldn't do _right away,_ basic features of the game that you had to play for several days to unlock. Most noteworthy: it took several days, over a week IIRC, before you could create warp pipes and subworlds, meaning that among other things, you were not able to open MM1 and immediately create a faithful reproduction of World 1-1. Did I think the first ever level of MM1 would be trash? Yes! The creator had no other choice.

Makes me sad that they're turning these servers off. I still like playing this game. I'll be really mad if they do it to smm2 and don't have a smm3.

For the first level, I expected literally an empty level with just a flag pole 😂
