Legendary Mario dev says the wild rush to beat every Super Mario Maker level before servers died is "actually pretty cool"

Mario and Luigi in the boxart for Super Mario Maker 2.

The Super Mario Maker community rallied together to beat every single level uploaded to the game before the servers shut down earlier this month, and while the devs at Nintendo weren't initially aware of that effort, they now think it's pretty cool.

Takashi Tezuka, the legendary Nintendo dev who's worked on damn near every major Mario game going back to 1985, told Ars Technica ahead of the Super Mario Maker server shutdown that he's "very happy that there is this community that has spent so much time playing and creating these courses." But it seems he wasn't aware of Team 0%, the community team that worked together to defeat every course in the game.
