Most speedruns showcase the kind of superhuman precision that takes thousands of hours dedicated to repetition and rote memorisation. So when a Games Done Quick runner fires up their console at the start of a block, it's usually a safe bet that they know a hell of a lot more about what's about to happen than you do.

Unless they're playing blind Mario Maker.

Twenty eight Super Mario Maker creators have banded together and created an exhaustive series of courses to push the game's speedrun potential. Super Warp World, a community-made speedrun ruleset, brings their levels into an impressive pack full of numerous paths and secrets. The game debuted yesterday in a blind race, and it was awesome.

This Super Mario Maker level is called Trials of Death, a level so tough the guy who made it has been trying for over a year to complete it.

Mario Maker's last content update dropped over a year ago, but hardcore fans aren't ready to let go yet. Instead, some of the community introduces new features through glitches, though Nintendo doesn't seem to be a fan of the practice.

One of the defining features of Super Mario Maker on the Wii U is the ability to share your creations with the world via the internet. The recently released 3DS version lacks online sharing for some stupid reason, so the homebrew scene is working to do what Nintendo didn't. They're getting there.

It took 32873 tries for YouTuber Val JP to beat a single Mario Maker level, and his journey to the finish line is one of the most inspiring things I've seen all year. You've got to watch it.

You might think this GIF is all you need to know about the brilliant Mario Maker level Super Mario vs. Mecha Bowser, but there's so much more.

My heart broke after reading a letter from a seven-year-old fan named Daniel, who was hoping I'd play his Mario Maker stage. The problem? He feared Nintendo would delete it before I had a chance to check it out.

I've been fending off the diabolical Mario Maker creations by Giant Bomb editor Dan Ryckert for months now. Our rivalry has always taken place over the internet, however. At PAX East, it was a face-to-face showdown.

I've been trying to beat Mario Maker's 100 Mario Challenge on Expert ever since the game came out last September. It's brutal. But only today was I able to pull it off, and there's a reason for that: Nintendo's made it easier.

Nintendo has a real problem on its hands with Mario Maker. Left and right, creators are seeing their levels removed from the online servers without an explanation. David "GrandPOObear" Hunt, a speedrunner who makes a living streaming games, is the latest victim. All of his levels have vanished.

When Nintendo updated Super Mario Maker last week, it secretly tweaked the way P-Switches work in the game. It's causing headaches for creators.

I recently listened to someone explain why they felt no guilt about hacking Mario Kart so that they could cheat in it. "Morality holds progress back," he said.

Video: The original starters from Pokémon Red and Blue are now available in Mario Maker, and I think it's safe to say Nintendo nailed them.

When Nintendo turned off the Super Mario Maker servers this week, it didn't explain why. Would you have guessed that LinkedIn was involved?

Sometimes, evil wins. That's what happened on Sunday; I was unable to beat the latest stage from Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert: The Armageddan. I was close -- a few times, very close -- but in the end, despite my facial hair on the line, I lost.

People are making all kinds of stages in Super Mario Maker. There are brutally hard stages, traditional stages, clever stages and others. These are clever ones.

That might look like Super Mario Maker -- but it's not. It's Super Mario ReMaker, a fan-made project that hopes to bring Nintendo's creation tool over to the PC with a bunch of new additions.

Video: I'm slowly making progress in the latest catastrophe of level design from Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert. Dubbed The Armageddan -- F8D1-0000-011D-7B5B -- it's yet another set of devious puzzles, tough platforming, and endless misdirection. Watch me play it here. I'll eventually beat it, so the world may feel safe again.
