Nintendo has recently announced that the online features for the Wii U and 3DS consoles will cease to function after April 8, 2024. This decision marks the end of an era for many gamers who have enjoyed playing online with these consoles. One significant impact of this shutdown is the loss of access to various game modes, such as in the case of Super Mario Maker.
The Fate of Community-Built Levels
With the end of online play, community-built levels in games like Super Mario Maker will become unplayable. This means that the opportunity for players to achieve 100% completion in the game will be lost. However, a dedicated group of gamers known as ‘Team 0%’ has taken on the challenge of ensuring that no level is left unbeaten before the servers shut down.
As the deadline approaches for the closure of online functionality, ‘Team 0%’ has made remarkable progress in conquering the unbeaten levels. What was once a daunting task of 25,000 unbeaten levels has now been reduced to just one remaining level titled ‘Trimming the Herbs.’ Despite its initial appearance of being relatively simple, this level has proven to be extremely challenging with its intricate requirements.
‘Trimming the Herbs’ presents players with a series of 18 consecutive frame-perfect jumps, all while navigating through obstacles like spikes, Piranha Plants, Boos, and manipulating bombs to progress. The level of difficulty is so high that even skilled players are finding it hard to complete. The countdown to the servers shutting down adds an extra layer of pressure to this already intense situation.
The Race Against Time
With only 21 days left before the online servers go offline, ‘Team 0%’ is faced with the ultimate challenge of completing the final unbeaten level. The mission has been well-documented on the team’s website, generating anticipation and hope among the gaming community. The clock is ticking, and the question remains: will the team be able to conquer ‘Trimming the Herbs’ before time runs out?
The impending shutdown of online features for the Wii U and 3DS consoles has sparked a race against time for ‘Team 0%’ to complete the last remaining unbeaten level in Super Mario Maker. The dedication and determination of this group serve as a testament to the importance of preserving gaming achievements and pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished within a limited timeframe. As the community eagerly watches the progress of ‘Team 0%’ in their final mission, the outcome remains uncertain but filled with anticipation and excitement.
