Super Mario Maker is a wonderful release from Nintendo, giving fans the ability to share incredibly creative levels. Some specialise in producing hugely difficult stages, perhaps none more so than 'Panga'.
In case you need reminding, Panga produced the downright ridiculous P Break level, regarded by many as the toughest level in the game; remember, to upload a level you need to beat it. He's now gone further with his new level - U-Break.
Available at course ID BC5E-0000-00D4-CD7C, this apparently took 11 hours to create and 39 hours to beat - a combined 50 hours of work. Below you can see the moment in Panga's live stream when he finally cleared it so that it could be uploaded; this does have Twitch chat, so there's some bad language.
At the time of writing this level has already been attempted over 5000 times, with no clears.
It's a barmy level, and it'll be interesting to see whether it's ever beaten again.

What's the point?
inhales... no. Stages like those will make you burn away half your life trying to complete them, only to receive an inflated ego, and nothing tangible in return.
What is the limit of a human being?
@Splatburst
The challenge
@MrPuzzlez It's not necessarily an inflated ego, it's a craving for the dopamine release you get when you finally complete a challenge.
I tuned in to his stream today and five minutes later the man did it. Amazing stuff.
Also, cue the butthurt scrubs. I swear, for not caring you folks are always the first ones to reply. Speaking of egos...
That's what Matpat told us anyway. We're addicted to dope. That's why we do things like this.
@rsanchez1 I channel all that dopamine directly into my ego, so it's much the same thing.
I'm releasing a challenging level tomorrow when that checkpoint update arrives but it's nowhere near this complicated...
Just watched the video, and that level is insane. He made it look easy, too!
Nope. Not even trying.
For those curious, the reason Panga had "yatta" written at the end and said it was because of a video from a Japanese player who beat his P break level and yells "YATTA!" once he does.

Well, at least this time one Yoshi survives...
@Mister_Wu Well. Not exactly.
we in there
YATTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAA
@Olmectron The last one enters the door with Mario on his saddle.
It's entertaining to watch these sorts of levels since it's always amazing just what players can do. Still, there's no way I'm trying such a fiendish level.
Throwing and catching shells to cross the chasm? WHAT IS THIS WORK OF THE DEVIL?
I was afraid to stop watching the stream because I thought something like this would happen. This is about an hour after I stopped watching for that day.
Da hell?!
Clearly people haven't seen gameplay of the SMW mod named Item Abuse. He created them, so its natural he could come up with this kind of stuff.
He has put more time into a single level than I have put into SMM total.
He can sleep now? Yea dude nice work, by abandoning all principles of level design you've truly achieved something remarkable. Maybe it's galactic justice that his mental wellbeing should suffer along with those he's trolling, lol.
I think people are missing the point of these levels. Levels like these show how insane some people can be with level design. They're not suppose to be your average run of the mill "fun and challenging" SMM level. These types of levels are supposed to be nearly impossible to beat. It makes them more fun to watch, and beating them feels really good. These well-designed super hard, off the wall SMM levels aren't that common anyway. So I have no idea why people complain about them. It's such a petty thing to complain about.
Oh, well, okay, let's see what we have he-...
two seconds in
-OH, SCREW THAT! @.@
The greatest thing about these insane levels are that people actually have to get trough them before they can be uploaded. No TAS here, just insane skills and lots of retries.
Just because he can build/beat/upload it, doesn't mean he should build/beat/upload it. Did you learn nothing from Jurassic Park?!?!?
SMW theme nonsense is overdone. Use a different skin, dude. Oh, and no glitches!
@Gridatttack I did watch an Item Abuse level and it was amazing. Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but I'm very sure it was a TAS level. That doesn't make it not impressive, but it's less impressive to me than an insane level beaten in real time.
Removed - inappropriate language
@Yeahman -$200 for only 50 hours of work? Oh yeah, this guy is just raking it in!
Is Mitch gonna try to beat this one?
@LinkSword Actually, yes. All of them are TAS.
IIRC, that's the main purpose actually. It's a mode aimed at TAS players. You can't complete it easily by normal means, (harder than kaizo) and im sure the TAS runs have a lot of re records.
I wouldn't even think of doing some of that stuff, like throwing shells into chasms and bouncing off them. This guy is nuts... but in a good way
Honestly, the funny part is the people saying hi to Youtube and Reddit.
@yokokazuo Hiro Nakamura says that too.
Aaaah, what a nightmare!!
