UPDATE: Ahoyoo has confirmed that Trimming the Herbs was uploaded with TAS tools, meaning that The Last Dance was the final legitimate level all along! Congrats to kazeihinn on the Last First Clear! The journey continues in Super Mario Maker 2...

ORIGINAL POST:

Team 0% is attempting to clear every level in Super Mario Maker before the servers shut down on April 8. (New level uploads have been disabled since 2021, so there is no danger of new levels appearing at the last minute.) As of a few days ago, only a single level remains: Trimming the Herbs, uploaded in 2017 by Ahoyoo. (See also Ahoyoo's original upload video.)

The level is short but extremely precise, requiring Mario to use Bob-ombs to precisely remove Piranha Plants and collect coins while navigating a tight space filled with spikes. There have been over 200,000 attempts so far! If you have a Wii U and feel like you might be a Mario master, this is your opportunity to pick up the final First Clear in Super Mario Maker history.

On the last day we'll just have the level creator log in and clear it on his 1st attempt.

Turns out they found the person and they want nothing to do with it. Seems the creator went through something of an addiction which allowed him to gain a super power in just one particular uncommon Mario mechanic, resulting in this level. As best I can tell, he had to get away for his own well being.

Ah, he's going with the Refusal Of The Call

The level creator cannot clear their own level from their account. Also, the level creator would not be able to beat this level very easily.

And they consider the creator beating the level from another wii u not a legitimate clear.
