Man.. this makes me wish I still had a Wii U. Level looked like a bitch but surprisingly good in some spots.

There needs to be more levels with giant Bowsers that hunt you the whole level.

This was awesome! And I'm pretty impressed with Dan's Mario skills. Would enjoy more stuff like this.

After the level has been up for 9 hours, it has a 2% completion rate. There are around just over 300 clears and over 15000 plays.

I went through the Miiverse posts after beating the level and found that 40% to 50% of the people who beat the level and comment did so by using Kamek to break the blocks around the goal and skipping the 2nd half of the level.

Another person creatively beat it by using the clown car to fly back to the beginning, going in the warp pipe that takes you to the end of the 2nd half, and then going in the warp pipe to the goal,..

As soon as I saw Dan in the captains chair I knew this would be a wild ride.

Makes A Monster is more like it.

I do like the idea of Bowser chasing you through the level though.

If you could include the custom sounds in uploads, I'd add a RE3 Nemesis "Staaarrrrsssss..." to Bowser.

This is one of my favorite things they've done in a while. I don't have a Wii U so I can't play this, but even if I did I doubt I'd be making many levels. But watching Dan source the chat and Jeff/Drew to collaboratively build one makes me feel like a kid again, just hanging out with friends and making dumb shit. I legit felt invested in the outcome and proud of it like I was involved or some shit.

Does anyone have a tally of how many times Dan has been told to put his feet down during a video? We're over 50 right?

Watching Dan talk about wanting to be a dick to people with this level, then get to watch him die by his own creation over and over was the exact catharsis I needed before bed

Dan's pointing skills continue to amaze me. His grandfather taught him well. Also good to see them really enjoying a game. Videogame 2015 is alright so far.

This was the most incredible nightmare. Bowser as the horror antagonist was magical.

This was a lot more fun than I thought I'd be, in fact it was pretty amazing. The level even turned out pretty well, especially the fact that Bowser might chase you down.

Hopefully Patrick really will play this in one of his morning streams.

Also on a side note: Do more episodes of Ranking of Fighters already! @jeff@unastrike

@talon64: I didn't use quite the same image but I was thinking along those lines. Would love to see a painted version as I think that'd look best, but I'm not much of an artist myself.

This actually turned out to be a pretty good level. Granted, once you know about the cape. (I would love to see somebody beat this level without it)

You guys should do a couple more streams like this. This was really awesome.

Secret trick to the level is to get the "wizard guy" to shoot at the blocks around the exit which makes them go away and then you can bypass the entire sub level.

@drgreatjob: a bunch of people, me included, are loving this, and this is going to appeal to different people than minecraft, so i don't see the point in comparing their value propositions. Had zero problems paying $60 for it as it has already paid off in spades.

This was great. I hope that at a future UPF or periodically they go back to check the comments and clear ratio (I don't have a WiiU).

@bluesun: 445 stars.

It's up to 405 completions, but in 21,300 tries, for a 1.9% completion rate per attempt. Almost 1000 different people have tried the level in 18 hours.

Patrick played this level on his stream this morning, and the results were spectacular.

http://www.twitch.tv/patrickklepek/v/17520473

Just watched the archive and you are right that it was a glorious stream. I can only imagine Dan's amusement if he ever watches it.

@thiago123 Currently it's at a clear rate of under 2%, which seems about right.
