Super Mario Maker

A grown man has never been so happy to finish a stage. I’ve finally beaten Doubleheader (E41C-0000-0117-BA72), which you can watch me play here. Read more

This section of SASUKE ver1 might kill me. You need to pull off a tricky and well-timed triple jump that I screwed up by flipping in the air, doing something weird to Mario’s hit box as he came down. Since I was playing the 100-Mario challenge, I don’t have a code to share. If you know it, lemme know!

Clever girl. Hittin’ Switches (EF58-0000-00ED-419E ) is a pretty fun Mario Maker stage that asks you to perform some tricky maneuvers to keep moving.

I’m close to finishing off a horrifying level named after me, The Klepocalypse (90C3-0000-00DA-97AF). Watch me as I try to finally take it down, once and for all, on Twitch at (around) 10:30 p.m. ET. Previous attempts at this stage—and other tough levels—are part of my ongoing Mario Maker Mornings series. Read more

Slowly but surely, I’m losing it in a Super Mario Maker level that was made to be my undoing, The Klepocapalyse (90C3-0000-00DA-97AF.) You can watch me try to unravel this stage over here.

For whatever reason, I’ve made it a habit to play Super Mario Maker stages designed to troll me. The latest? Hypercube by Polygon’s Griffin McElroy, which you can “play” for yourself at B2A3-0000-00AB-C911 or watch me scream here. Read more

Damn you, Walk a Bigger Eight (A3D9-0000-009C-D845). Watch the whole video here. Read more

Victory was close, but my eternal struggle against nightmare Super Mario Maker level designer Dan Ryckert continues. I’m still angry. If you want to be angry, too, you can try to “play” Spikeshoe Plains (6E3C-0000-008D-C11F). The full archive is here, and I’ll be livestreaming an attempt to finish it later today.
