Team 0%
project to beat every level in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2
Team 0% is a community project with the aim to ensure that every user-made course in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2 has been completed by at least one person other than the original uploader.
The project completed all courses in Super Mario Maker before the scheduled shutdown of the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS online servers in April 2024. As of April 2024, the project's goal is to clear all uncleared courses in Super Mario Maker 2.
Background
Super Mario Maker is a 2015 video game for the Wii U wherein players can create and play 2D platformer levels known in-game as "courses" using mechanics from various entries in the Super Mario series. These courses could then be published for others to play, as long as the course's creator was able to verify the course by first completing it themselves.
History
Team 0% began in 2017 when a player compiled a spreadsheet of courses uploaded in 2015 with a zero percent clear rate (meaning nobody online had cleared the course) in Super Mario Maker and shared it on Reddit. Players online then created a Discord server dedicated to clearing all courses on the spreadsheet. In March 2021, Nintendo permanently suspended new uploads to Super Mario Maker, fixing the number of courses in place and thereby making it possible to clear every course. Attention from streamers grew the project's popularity, and by February 2023, there were 41,113 uncleared courses.
In October 2023, Nintendo announced the closure of their online services for the Wii U and 3DS, including Super Mario Maker, meaning the courses would no longer be accessible after the deadline of April 8, 2024.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Team 0%” as project to beat every level in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as project to beat every level in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q125113445. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2015, 2017 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
