This is a Summoning Salt-style History of Speedrunning video about the last 100 uncleared levels in Mario Maker. Team 0% is trying to clear every level in Mario Maker before the WiiU and 3DS server shutdown on April 8th, 2024. Will they achieve their goal? These levels are the ones that might stand in their way.

Moral of the story seems to be if you’re American and you sleep you lose the first clear lmao
lmao hi elle, so true
insomnia any%
FOUND IT INSTANTLY i'm nuts
i have not watched the video. hi
@@Xenophiliuswhat
@@yoshivolk5831 i cannot think of a way to explain this message so i will not
I love how Trimming the Herbs was treated as a Final Boss, rather than a technical win.
This was amazing
Trimming the herbs shows that Team 0% really achieved the impossible here.
Team 0% did the imposible and did 101%
Super unjustifiable response by the community after it was found out to be TAS’d though. I get the disappointment after being led on for a week, but it should’ve been a momentous occasion that was celebrated thoroughly in spite of that. All I could tell after the reveal is that half the community collectively cried and were bummed out after finding out their goal was met, because the only thing that matters in a goal is the way it’s accomplished. It makes them look like nothing more than thrill seekers, and I feel sorry for the runners that even more time was put into torturing themselves for a goal that was already completed.
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans Agree. But I was still marvelous to see everyone come together for such a goal when there was no need to.
I am really grateful for the people that join for such a supporting and friendly competition over all.
i probably didn't convey it correctly, i wouldn't say half the community was bummed out, i would say 3/4ths of the community felt conflicted. they were happy about a win but confused how to feel, since they'd already invested themselves in the grind, watched 10+ hours of grinding tth, debated who would get the clear, but then everything was suddenly gone. it was like reading a 200 page novel, where you're on page 165, the characters come across a final obstacle, a dangly bridge, and then they just walk across it, and you find out the last 35 pages of the book were blank. like yeah it was a great book, and i'm happy i read it, but wish it was different in this one way.
this is all to say i can't say they were "unjustifiable". the way a goal is accomplished matters to me, and i respect people who are like me in this aspect, and i also respect those who don't agree, and are happy with the accomplishment itself
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfansif that was known earlier it would have been hella boring. None of the other remaining levels were an actual problem for the project
I do like the ending, it was originally such a let down to the community, I’m sure, but it became anything but that after it was cleared, it became even more hype, after all, every other level wasn’t technically a “First Clear” as they were all levels that the creator cleared them first. But this, was a true first clear. A level so difficult not even the creator could beat it. But one person could beat it. They beat the “impossible” level. They truly got the first clear on the final level
Oooo I never considered that!
That makes it so much better
They truly did 100% the game, as they managed to achieve both endings: The Good Ending (The Last Dance) and The True Ending (Trimming The Herbs)
more like true ending and good ending
normal mode ending and hard mode ending
More like a 101% !
@@Illager_Fries_Gaming The good ending and best ending.
@@AlmyTheAlien Insane difficulty and Nightmare difficulty
Isn't it so poetic that The Last Dance was the final level ?!?!
bro bro b r o can you believe it that the last dance was the last dance was the last dance dance ???
Isn't it so poetic that trimming the herbs was cleared by sanyx91SMM2?
Isn't it so poetic that i beat a level called "Mario Goes to Mcdonalds" before my year long online subscription ran out?
Isn’t it so unpoetic how everyone’s commenting the same thing on every video?
HEY WAIT A MINUTE DIDN'T I SAY THAT
Isn't it so poetic that Last Hope was the fourth-to-last level?
hm never thought about that 🤔
Hmm... Never thought of that... 🤔
Hmmmmm........ never thought of that......😏
hmm... never thought about that 🧐
Never… Thought Hm 🤔 That About
I can't believe nobody is talking about the guy who literally performed inputs which only a TAS normally would be able to do... if you think about it, it's insane to say the least. I mean props to all thw community and the 0% team, but give this man some recognition..
All this “give them the recognition” and still you don’t know their name :)
@@garethma7734sanyx!!
>Is called "The Last Dance"
>Another level afterwards
Why does every video essay person know exactly how to press my buttons with video game music?
Very hype
It’s literally just the Celeste OST lol god tier game if you’ve never played it
@@wilhelmisaac well there's some hollow knight in there
And...... other stuff....
And yes celeste is amazing I have played it
this video in particular has music from the Summoning Salt soundtrack, almost entirely. there’s also one celeste song, one zelda song, and one undertale song. Summoning Salt’s use of music is unmatchable, but i did my best to recreate some of the same emotions :)
@@henryst-1 you did amazing with this video. the ending made me cry even though I knew exactly what would happen
@@wilhelmisaac Yeah no, there's one celeste song in the whole video.
For a video about the "history" of the last 100 levels, I would have liked to see more of the actual history, like how Last Hope was a level to be used as a test to join a Mario Kaizo team, but no one ever beat it, or how Welcome Extreme is a remake of a level called "Welcome"' which is one of the very first levels ever uploaded to Mario Maker
this is fair, i didn't know either of those facts. i didn't do really any research into any of the level creators other than ahoyo, just lots of testimonies from players. good feedback :)
damn thats actually so interesting
@@henryst-1that must felt like asking your grandparent about his war days lol
Maybe the correct title would be "The Race to Beat Mario Maker's Last 100 Levels"
Yeah it felt more like an overview or recap than a history
I didn't realize TTH was cleared. Actually pogged at the end. Lmfao
I like how the bot on the server says there is -1 uncleared levels😂🎉
Sub Level %
SMM got beaten so hard it entered the Minus World
Timestamp?
@@Cyrus_got_verified it is not in the video, i just went to the discord of the team 0%
@@TrimutiusToo oh nice
Great video. Ever since that guy who beat Hollow Knight blindfolded i've stopped declaring anything 'impossible' because who knows what someone might come up with.
been thinking about doing a hollow knight challenge on stream with no eyes no audio, chat only. don't have enough viewers yet over there but stay tuned :)
Holy fuck that ending legitimately made me a bit emotional, I cannot even begin to imagine how everyone in the community must've felt. Doing the seemingly impossible; beating a TAS level.
Fantastic video
Congratulations team 0% for unlocking the true ending ~The Herbs have been trimmed~
The conclusion speech was so cheesy but I couldn't help but smile. I love stories about communities coming together to do the impossible. Very wholesome and great video! 😊
Nearly teared up ngl
Great video and hey 25:40 that's me! thanks for including me lol, I actually have a big story with trimming the herbs, I had interest in the level and decided to go for it, in august of 2023, 25h and 4 months later, I had lost all hope that I would be able to do it, the level was a BEAST and I didn't even realize it, it was also the least fun level I had EVER played, but I never admitted I gave up, I was scared I would be insulted because of this (I was) so I just waited, until team 0 removed my dibs because there were less than a 100 levels in the 2017 category (or something like this). Months later one of my friends Sanyx, who has IMMENSE determination and talent, gave it a go, and beat it :)
Again, great video, I really liked the way you explained all this
thanks shib! yeah if not for your dibs we wouldn't of had this incredible fairytale ending, so it was all for the best :)
erm what thd shib
It's a weird feeling that the community working together ends up sniping first clears from others. Some people spend so many hours, getting so close, then someone else swoops in and gets the clear.
it is very weird, and it was for all the last 100. before the last 100, there was a dibs channel, to try to maximize the teams efficiency, and mitigate people sniping first clears. it worked great, and things weren't weird, but with 100 left, it was understandably deleted. I've never heard anyone talk about this feeling but I also feel it, thanks for mentioning it :)
Fitting that the final level was a TAS cheat and extra fitting that the determination of the speedrun community was able to overcome the insane odds.
Such a perfect story.
I only heard of Team 0% a few weeks ago, but it’s honestly insane! Wasted Summer is one of the silliest levels ever ;)
R.I.P Mario Maker
rip mario maker 🫡 thank god for pretendi
I honestly find it a tragedy that millions of levels, some that people have spent hours playing and beating are now forever lost media
yeah over 10 million user created levels COMPLETELY LOST with NO WAY TO RECOVER THEM AT ALL. unless you look up pretendo 😉(everything was saved)
@@henryst-1 There are unfortunately a not insignificant number of levels lost to time, as anything removed prior to the archival is just gone gone.
dude, this is such a well done video. the pacing and writing was really solid, and i appreciate you breaking down exactly what made these levels tricky. that ending too, with all the people flashing on screen, and the sync of the music with the door opening, was hype as fuck. great job :>
This is the most impressive gaming feat in history... I am feeling so inspired to finish my projects now...
definitely up there, very inspirational project, the community is amazing
i am so proud of 0% completing a goal we all thought would be impossible in 2017. and look where we are now! with sanyx beating TTH a few days ago it amazes me how we can work together as a community. on with SMM2! we did it once we can do it again!
I legitimately shed tears at the ending, thanks for making this video, I loved it!
wow thank you so much!
this video is semi effective recruitment material, you got me wanting to do this in smm2 even though i suck at it lmao
we got a lotta work to do
Apparently a lot of the MM1 uncleared levels were relatively easy, but unplayed. Not every member of Team0% needs to be an elite gamer capable of tackling levels like the ones in this video -- they need sheer manpower to take down the vast numbers of easy levels, too.
Even if you’re “bad” at it, you could probably do the dev door ones or smth like that so the pros have more time to work on hard levels
Same. We've got plenty of time, since no shutdown date is looming for SMM2, but when I get free time again I'll probably clean the dust off my Switch, pay Nintendo for another year of network access, and clear the ones I can manage.
MM2 gotta be way harder to 100% though, right? Vastly more people have it compared to MM1, so there'd be orders more levels surely.
Was the admission that Trimming the Herbs was a TAS a double bluff to discourage people from attempting it? He could claim the glory of beating the community by making them believe that they didnt have a chance.
Many have proposed this and it was not a double bluff :)
I think the most difficult section of Last Hope was the first one.
At the very first point, you have to do very little jump at the perfect flame after it starts, and another little jump quickly.
I also tried to complete it(because I'm in Team Last Hope),and I was good at other sections,but I couldn't clear it because I had only about 1 in 50 chance of getting through the first one😢
27:40 Hey, that's me! Great video and kudos to the team. secret ending achieved!
I put a like on videos maybe twice a year and this video takes a spot, incredible story told perfectly. Thank you and thank you to all of the 0% community for this absolute spectacle.
thanks!
I’ll be telling my grandkids the story of Team 0% like an old folktale one day!
What an incredible video documenting a journey like no other! I’m so glad to have been a part of this journey in what small way I was.
Keep grinding, legend.
Neat, this is pretty much exactly what I pictured when I saw this concept discussed in the discord, and also yeah this does give me an appreciation of how hard a summoningsalt video is to make even just thinking about all the small editing bits needed
Before I had wanted a video talking about all 100 final levels, but it was probably good that that didn't happen; so many NSMBU Speedruns 😂
most of the nsmbu levels are the exact same, i get bored looking at the clones, but there were some cool ones i didn't get to mention. special shoutout to the one that's all about mashing, gotta mash super fast, i think gravityrad was the one to clear it but don't totally remember
Teared up a little at the end. I was only a spectator but this was a wild ride. Nicely captured in the video.
Cheers!
For the Zun levels, he beat Wasted Summer in 10 days and the other 2, Blue Skull and Muncher Stairs in ~2 days, and had over 30 NAIs on Wasted Summer. They were also the last non Japanese creator left and the last SMW and almost SMB1 left. Allegedly, Zun's little brother also cleared the only other underwater level left that wasn't his where you had to press the jump button every 14 frames for a very long time
I've been following this project on and off for the last few months now, thank you for making this video. I'm happy you guys managed to do it in time :)
what a fantastic achievement and fantastic community, with a fantastic video to cover it all!
mario maker is truly one of the most special games of all time, and i hope this video shows why it is so great (and maybe recruits some people for mm2 lol)
thank you for making this, and congratulations to everyone who participated!
here's hoping... for mario maker 3
Great video
Also the celeste music did not go unnoticed
that soundtrack is FIRE all the way through
Celeste’s ost is perfect for documentaries
celery
Yesss, Lena Raine is such an amazing artist. Always love to see her work represented somewhere
I can't express it well enough. It is such a good video. I followed this community for years and this event was the simple most important for them. All of the levels explanations were on spot and at the final end you brought up that song too. It brought tears to my eyes. Really. I felt at Home...
I legit thought this was Summoning Salt until I scrolled down to the comments. Great cinematography!! Congrats Team 0%!!
I was devastated while playing Welcome-extreme and I had NO IDEA YOU COULD SKIP THE STARTING HOOK.
that level looks so doable but it’s brutal, and yeah you definitely need that jump the clear it, the timer is wayyyy to tight
Playing Megalovania when you started talking about Trimming the Herbs was a perfect decision.
awesome video, honestly the best documentary out there on this. huge congrats to the team :>
thanks, and congrats on the muncher stairs clear again, and also thanks for the research help :)
dude! I saw you on youtube!!
😨
Very good video Henryst, probably the best documentary on team0% so far :)
sanyx you're so kind, it means a lot that you like it. your clear meant so much to me for two reasons. first, i've only been following the community for 4 months, but i've grown so attached. i couldn't shut up about it to all my irl friends and was looking forward to the last day. im sad that its over but following this project has been some of the most fun i've had in my life. second, and more selfishly, i had the entire doc done except for TTH for almost 2 weeks and was just twiddling my thumbs. i had no idea how to end the video if you didn't clear it, literally 0 backup plan. your clear brought the doc from ok to exceptional. i owe you one. let me know if you need anything, anytime :)
@@henryst-1 Thank you so much 🙂
It honestly goes to show the lengths a community will go for perfection. I mean even look at mario 1, for the longest time, the tas only tricks seemed so far out of reach to reach the tas time but look at it now, the human sum of best is TIED to the frame with the tas and 8-4 is starting to get optimized in full runs as well. Props to the entire 0% crew in MM1 and GL in MM2.
Thanks! It’s gonna take a lot of time for MM2 and it might be impossible but might as well give it our best :)
@@henryst-1 impossible doesn't exist in the Mario community. :P
The true villain of Team0% are plants.
really good video, hope the algorithm picks this up cause this is insanely well made
As someone who watched a lot of CarlSagan42 for the whole MM1 era I can only imagine how crazy and interesting some of the glitch and troll showcase levels would have been if Ahoyo’s original plan succeeded.
omg thats me playing phantom odd world 15:48 absolutely fantastic video
thanks Fiona :)
Wow this video was really well produced, it really sucked me in and I didn’t even realize it was half an hour until the end. Great job
"...and when he woke up"
I'm already ready for the damage...
I'd love a Mini extra vid like this breaking down a few of the less important but difficult levels they faced on the journey.
You nailed Salt's style perfectly, down to the unexpectedly emotional climax and sendoff. Thanks for putting this together, it was beautiful.
Watching that final clear gave me chills. Great work :)
It's just so interesting to me how TTH being revealed as “Not a true level” was so disappointing, they should theorically be celebrating, since that means you got to the goal, but it doesn't feel right, it speaks about human nature, how we as a community can be so stubborn and prideful to keep trying and trying to get and beat perfection itself, to get our satisfying happy ending, maybe I'm overanalyzing it, but it's so poetic that I just needed to say it
Shout outs to the 0% Discord, you're all amazing and deserve all the recognition internet can offer
Very well put together video man. Keep it up!
awesome vid! thanks for making it!!! been waiting for a vid that covers the last levels in a more comprehensive way! appreach!
Incredible video, super well made, great music, GOD WHY ARE THE SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE ON RUclips
great job for detailing such a large and complex challenge btw, it was super fun to watch even with the hindsight of already knowing what happened
29:17 when that chord hits and you know you're about to shed some tears
This better blow up because this quality deserves it
"I can't stop being myself" looks like the Platform Racing 2 jump, where you glitch through the corner of a wall and floor, when approached at the right angle, except you get to do it all over again if you fail.
I believe there was a level just like what I described in the sentence before, except if you fail a continuous thing, you are forced to forfeit. (that game never lets you play alone, (except when validating the level) and forces a 60 seconds cooldown before entering, which turns into 20 if 1 or 2 join, and 5 seconds if the room is full (4 slots)) (last played: maybe 2011)
not to mention, the vid as a whole... AMAZING! thanks again! loved it!
OK, this was very good, thank you for the amazing video, it was kind of moving by the end! Good job to the community, what you did together is incredible!
this is an incredibly made video. you should be proud of it, and I hope you do more like it. enjoyed it just as much as a salt video
Great work! Very entertaining!
And it was so cool to watch them all trying to beat every remaining level, even tho i‘ve never played smm1 myself
Hats off to everyone at team 0%. I’m happy you guys got the ending you deserved
They not only cleared Mario Maker, but they Trimmed the Herbs too. Thank you to all the awesome people who worked so hard for years to get this done, and a special thanks to the people who documented it all, and those who went the extra mile to beat a TAS level!
Insane video man, this deserves more recognition 🔥🔥🔥
THE HERBS HAVE BEEN TRIMMED!!! I hate kaizo levels soooo goddamn much, doing this challenge would be my personal hell. I never even bought mario maker because I already knew most levels would be like this.. thanks for beating it and great job on cutting the video, it really felt like a summoning salt style game documentary. now I gotta check out the soundtrack..
thank you :) salt is a beast and I’d be thrilled if the quality of this video was even 5% of his videos
@@henryst-1 I think this was spot on, just as good as his stuff! and I've watched every single thing on his channel. don't know if it was intentional, but I think even the voice was very similar haha
what a moment
amazing work in the video as well!
thank you so much :)
How have I never heard of this project before this video? Great story, well paced :)
Amazing video and thank you for making this. The curtain call the entire community had made me happy and I'm so happy to have joined everyone in this huge attempt
Small thing as well thats worth noting; the spindrop isnt hard in last hope because its a precise drop but because its actually a spincancel input which is a 1f input. You cant twirl while spinning so changing your state by tricking the game into thinking youre throwing the shell is super important there.
thanks blast :) yeah the spin drop could’ve used more detail
The soundtrack is insanely awesome
thank you :)
I remember hearing about team 0% and trying to clear some levels but then I realised I can't even play any of the levels because i was on a 3ds since I didnt have a Wii U 😭
Dude that’s amazing. Hopefully it gets promoted or something, there is so much - good - work in this one 🤟
🔥🔥🔥🔥
thx t
You got the pace and the dramatic sense so right and not many speedrunning creators do, in my opinion. This was quite a find! I did miss more technical explanations, though, that's the main thing for me. Like break down the tricks for every level (specially since I haven't even played some of those games). But yeah awesome job.
thank you :)
What a ride, I was so hyped by the end of this video!
thanks! im glad you liked it :)
Amazing video :) This was so incredible to watch unfold
Yo this was super awesome keep up the good work
Very solid video and very interesting!
Just straight up crying watching him do Trim the Herbs, absolutely insane work by everyone involved. Excellent video. This story deserved to be told
The whole video I thought when we are finally landing will be played. A deserved final end
On another note, good video, thanks for doing it. I enjoyed it. :)
Man, that video was so good! Now I don’t have to wait three months at a time for a new Summoning Salt vid
Awesome video! Great quality and was highly entertained through out. Hope you put out more!
Thank you everyone who was apart of team 0%, ending off a great game with a great community get together
This is definitely a saltlike but im here for it. Good work
Proud to have helped this project!
19:58
oh my god the melody coming in on a violin and not a guitar threw me off so hard I couldn't focus on what you were saying for a solid minute
Seeing the story of Team 0% and how hard and how much time it took for them to this is so cool! Amazing video, I love Summoning Salt, and this video is just as good as his!
Loved this, thank you for making this
bro this hit me at the mariana trench of my heart i didnt even hear about this until i saw this video i am amazed
I'm just wondering how the makers of these levels managed to beat them for the level to be uploaded, just crazy, I applaud their crazy dedication
Not me feeling like i helped with this movement by being the first to clear my own level 8 years ago 😂😂
Got legitimate tears when We’re Finally Landing started playing. It’s amazing to see humans achieve things thought to be impossible.
I NEEDED SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS VIDEO, UR AWESOME!!
I love people putting their own twist on Salt's style. Salt uploads so randomly, I always love to see more people adding to the genre.
Here before it goes viral lol, but awesome video fr, the editing was very good and whole story too, ggs to everyone
to me this is already viral, but yeah if it super blows up that’d be c r a z y
