Sure, here’s a rewrite with a raw and slightly chaotic tone:

Okay, so get this—there’s a player who’s cleared a million (yeah, million) levels in Super Mario Maker 2. Wild, right? I mean, how much time do they even have on their hands? But anyway, the Super Mario Maker 2 community is buzzing about it, and honestly, can you blame them? That’s some next-level dedication. I wouldn’t have noticed this even if it smacked me in the face, but now that I know, I just can’t unsee it.
So, here’s the deal with Super Mario Maker 2: it’s this insane game where you can build your own Mario levels using bits and bobs from all over the Mario universe. Even if you’re not into building, the game is like a bottomless pit of stuff to play. So many levels, so little time, right? Or maybe it’s just me being lazy.
Anyway, some streamer—I think they go by DSteves or something—hit the game’s sixth anniversary and decided, “You know what? I’m gonna clear a million levels.” And they did! Which is like… I can’t even wrap my head around that. They played for 18 hours non-stop once, clearing 1,000 levels in one go. What are they running on? Coffee? Pure adrenaline? Who knows. Six years it took, averaging 456 levels per day. I’d have given up ages ago, but they’re out here breaking records!
Super Mario fans are all over this, singing praises and all. Some call it legendary—which, I mean, sure? Seems fair. If I ever did something that epic, you bet I’d be bragging about it forever. But DSteves is still trudging on, not planning to stop anytime soon—at least that’s what it seems. By June 30, they ticked off another 50 runs. Talk about unstoppable.
Side note, this isn’t the first time someone’s gone above and beyond for Mario Maker. Remember 2024? When they announced the Wii U and 3DS servers were getting axed, there was a mad dash to clear levels that had never been beaten. Enter Team 0. Legend has it they cleared about 40,000 levels. Like, who even does that? Just… wow.
Anyway, Mario Maker 2. A game. A lifestyle. A whole mood. And DSteves? Probably the closest thing to a hero in this digital universe. Or maybe they just really like Mario. Whatever it is, one million levels down—I’m impressed.
