Is it Possible to Upload a Mathematically Impossible Level in Super Mario Maker 2?
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 05. 2024
- A while ago I thought it would be fun to theorycraft the strongest and most secure combination lock possible in Super Mario Maker 2. There never really was a point to this in the first Super Mario Maker, since everyone was able to download each course, and therefore everyone was able to take a look at the combination, but since nintendo sadly decided that editing downloaded courses is no longer a thing in Super Mario Maker 2, that also means that, at least in theory it should be possible to upload a combination lock that is so secure that it becomes cryptographically impossible to beat it. So today we are going to take a look back at this journey, we will not only succeed in building a Super Mario Maker 2 lock that is mathematically impossible to beat, but we will also fail miserably at trying to upload a truly impossible Super Mario Maker 2 stage.

Human: makes a lock in a videogame that would take more years to break than there are remaining until the heat death of the universe
Some human: unlocks it anyways

Either modding or random lucky guy just said fuck it
@@redactedgamersgd1788 Or by imprinting the lock. If you break all the bricks and re-enter the room then you can SEE what the combination was supposed to be. Big design flaw.
I think the amount is actually a bit shorter than the years left. Theres 10^100 years left until the heat death of the universe, but the code takes around 10^90 years to crack.
Current calculations imply that the universe will not end in heat death. Depending on a certain number whose value is not exactly known, the universe will either end in a Big Crunch or a Big Rip, but definitely not a Big Chill ("heat death").
Theoretically, couldn't someone destroy all of the blocks and then reload the room to get the code since all of the blasters would spawn, revealing their heights.
Unless, you know, the blaster heights are hidden by making them extremely tall and off screen
@@marshmardgames9884 That's a good workaround
I think that's what the multiplayer trick had you do. Without it, you could only at best view the outer edges of the lock. And that's if you don't do like Marshmard suggested and make it impossible to view the height of the blasters from the play area.

What I will say to Mayro?
Even without modding or glitches, "Impossible Cmbination Lock v.2" can be solved in a handful of tries:
Just destroy the maximum number of blocks for each digit, and the spawning cannons will just tell you the correct numbers.
That's what I thought! Just scrolled through a bunch of comments hoping somebody else had noticed that.
Same. Glad to see others had the same idea. :)
This is actually a very common attack in real-world cryptanalysis: don't attack the algorithm, attack the implementation. The algorithm, as an abstract idea, is (probably!) secure, whereas the implementation is where the problem is. Mathematics is (comparatively) easy, programming is hard.
Nice, I was about to say the same thing because I hadn't seen anyone else comment on that yet! However, it sure would be annoying to break 99 stacks of brick blocks...
That's the flaw he mentions about multiplayer, you cannot see the entire code normally, because you are blocked by a cannon, that is why you need to use multiplayer to break into the area above the lock because you can run along the whole thing and view the combination.

What I thought I was gonna watch: video about cool/difficult Mario maker levels
What I actually watched: Intro to Cryptography 101
A fun fact: This lock is cryptographically stronger than AES-256. It is not, however, stronger than AES-512.
I wondered how this works if one accounts for how fast a single person can test AES-512 vs. SMM. (Stealing some numbers from an online source for this:) A 2GHZ computer testing AES-512 at 1000 cycles per test translates to 2 million guesses per second. By contrast, the assumed guess rate for SMM is about 1 guess per 90 seconds. So SMM is about intrinsically slower to test (by about 8 orders of magitude). Alas, this doesn't make much difference: the 2^512 combinations for AES-512 dwarf the 9^99 combinations for SMM by about -60- orders of magnitude. So AES-512 is still much, much stronger than SMM.
@@arnox4554 this lock isn't cryptographically stronger than AES-256, not even close. You can't trivially derive the plaintext of an AES-256 ciphertext by looking at the algorithm, that's sort of the whole point. This MM level is just implementing security by obscurity, and is very weak (evidenced by the fact that someone else broke it).

@@semiclassical7620 it doesn't really matter how fast (or slow) you can try combinations in SMM. If the algorithm is known (which it can be by opening the level in an editor), you can reimplement it in e.g. C and test inputs offline where you are only bottlenecked by processing power.

Hey Ceave,
Let me start by saying that my wife (netgen) and I absolutely love your content and are always excited to see more. We are both incredibly happy to hear the shout out to us; thanks!!
With that being said, I think you are giving us too much credit, as we have no clue how modding the game actually works; we legitimately found cheese. I'm more than happy to share my method, but only if you want; it's your level, and it's not my place to spoil the solution. Also, for what it's worth I did semi-post how we did it in the level comments, but it requires the course to be cleared first ;) I will say though that it took us a few hours to figure out this method and beat your first version of the level, but once you uploaded v2, since the same cheese could be applied, it only took about 45 mins. If anything was truly evil about this level, it wasn't the lock itself, but rather keeping pace with the off-screen spiny, as not to despawn him XD
Anyways, thanks for the awesome mini "date night weekend" you gave to us with that level, and we look forward to playing your next!!!
Nice find!
To keep pace with the spiny you can just pause for about 5 sec on every solid block (like I did). Or be like link and practice keeping pace with one on a conveyor in the editor (the obviously inferior method ;) )
So what you're saying is that it was actually surprisingly simple? ^^

Actually there is already a mathematically impossible level that's been out for a while now. It's called Bowser's Big Bean Burrito
Salty because you don’t have the world record on Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito? You can talk when you have proof that you have the world record on Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito. Actually, scratch that: you are not worth the honor of having the world record on the level Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito.

Damn - I went to like this, but the like count is at 69. :(
I- I mean my little brother- can't beat that level. I mean I'm not even trying. I mean he isn't.
You're not funny
Mathematician here, if you want the maximum number of combinations for a certain base and length, it's a full grown optimization problem. If you look at the growth, you're overlooking one thing : If your lock is long enough, it's better to add to the base than to the length.
Let's use a 2^64 lock. If you add to your length, you get a 2^65 lock, which is 2 times better. If you add to the base, you get a 3^64 lock, which is around 1.5^64, or more than 10^10 times better.
Let's think about a variable base b and a variable length l. The lock has C = b^l combinations. If you add 1 to the length :
C = b^(l+1)
C = b^l * b
C = b^l + (b-1)*b^l
The total amount of new combinations is (b-1)*b^l. If you add 1 to the base :
C = (b+1)^l
C = b^l + l*b^(l-1) + O(b^(l-2))
The total amount new combinations is a bit more than l*b^(l-1), thanks to the binomial theorem.
Now, when is adding to the base going to be viable ?
l*b^(l-1) > (b-1)*b^l
l*b^(l-1) > b*(b-1)*b^(l-1)
l>b*(b-1) [=b^2-b]
As you can see, this grows quadratically, so it won't be a problem as long as you don't make length too much of a priority, but there's a whole optimization thing going on.
Let's say you want the maximum number of combinations, but the sum of your base and length can only be 10 at maximum. The right solution isn't 2^8, which gives 256 options, it's actually 4^6 with 4096 options.

Cool but I don't get it

@@askapk youre not wrong 😂
Technically, every single level is a combination lock, one where you need to find a valid combination of pressing all the available buttons.
Not quite because there's multiple possible inputs to complete a level unless you created a kaizo level that requires every input to be frame perfect. Since MM2 uses your inputs as seeds for RNG you could use rng detectors to ensure only frame specific inputs can be used to beat the level
@@huxleyleigh4856 Some combination locks have multiple passwords. :)
Ok, so the new challenge is: implement a hashing algorithm in MM to prevent opening the lock even if you can see the whole level. Can it be done?
If you could implement addition and modulo arithmetic, then yes.
That's what I was wondering
One small flaw in your combination lock: When the player goes through the door, if they simply input "9" in every block, they will be able to see the first six blasters' correct locations by subtracting the number of spaces they have fallen past the correct slot. They could potentially see even more, depending on if the length of the blaster allows them to walk further and see more of the numbers. So while the true number of combinations is 9^99, the _effective_ number of combinations is 9^93 + 1, since the first attempt will eliminate six digits from the lock.
Ghost house night Mode helps here.
or if multiple players play it one could stay behind and look where each blaster ended
That what I said. You can just do it one column at a time per attempt. That way you can definitely see how big the launcher is and not worry about getting blocked by the other launchers

This is actually a pretty good analog to explain cybersecurity. Breaking encryption is essentially impossible(until quantum computers), and so hackers break into systems by cheating(like the modders who beat your level). They find exploits into the code, backdoors, admin accounts, injection, overflow systems. Great video!
Except if you input "9" in all of them, you can see how tall each blaster is.
This.
And even if there were some way of preventing the player from observing how tall each blaster is, they could instead enter 0, 1, 2, etc for each blaster. When the blaster spawns, they've got the right number.
How would you get past the first few? How could you even see the other blasters?
@@BrokenKeyboard14 You can just try one blaster at a time, in the worst case you need 9*99=981 tries.

Even if you had an infinit amount of blasters (rows) it would be possible. The possibility is 0, but it would still be possible.
@@patricktho6546 possibility could never be 0. try dividing any number by 2, every time, you will get closer to 0, but never will you get to 0 ever, even if you did this your whole lifetime.
just bruh I believe he was referring to 0 as a whole number not as a decimal number.
Alright, first thing first: I really enjoyed the video and I think the concept is very interesting. Probably not the first person to make this observation, but...
Using the nonary (base 9, look it up) system to squeeze out more combinations was a good call, but from a cryptographical standpoint the lock fails because an attempt to unlock it with your guessed key doesn't just reveal whether the key is correct or incorrect, it reveals which exact inputs were correct and incorrect. This allows you to reduce the keyspace on every attempt.
If I have understood the system correctly: It holds for every single input that the bullet blaster won't spawn unless the input is either correct or has too many blocks broken. If that is the case, your 9^99 lock would fall in 9 attempts from a cryptanalyst who knows what they're doing. How? First, trying with no blocks broken and seeing where you get a bullet blaster. Take note, break one block where you didn't get a bullet blaster before. Note down where you had to break one block. Next round, break no blocks where you got bullet blasters in first iteration, one block where you got a bullet blaster in the second iteration and two blocks otherwise. Repeat it, and you're sure to be done on the ninth attempt.
Leaking state is not a good idea in a cryptosystem.

Most people don't call it global warming anymore. They call it climate change.
I've never played this game before so correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems rather easy to defeat this lock.
If you see that a blaster is too low, that just means that you need to break that many fewer blocks for that specific blaster next time, and if it doesn't spawn, then you need to break more.
So the easiest way to pick this is by breaking every block, then writing down how many "spaces below flat" (X) the blasters are, then when you restart, leave (X) blocks in the appropriate spaces.
So, with a pen and paper, it should only require one restart, or two total runs to get the combination.

Math fact:
Assuming you are trying to maximize the security of the lock with a fixed product of length by base, that is for example if each spot of the base takes up 1 entity to set up, then the optimal base is e.
Approsximatelly e=2.7.
Well, since we can only use whole numbers, base 3 is actually the best.
The logic also doesn't work out because, well, base 1 is useless and it is supposed to be better then base 2 if the video assumption was correct.
This may prove useful in the future.
7:00 you can upload a level in SMM2 1.0 to get this feature, so icicles can be used everywhere (2^100)
and also using the sub area gives you twice the length, so it squares the safety.
Btw, the final lock's base can be improved even more, by not having Mario see the bullet blasters and the enemy, this way you will be able to put a lot more brick blocks.
You can use progressive powerups to stop multiplayer from ruining your day, with only 1 entity. Put a progressive powerup to one side of a 2-block wide empty space in the ceiling, and replace the other ceiling block by a kaizo block. The player will need to damage boost through a corridor of spikes, so that 2 players can't enter the lock at once, and there will be a question block with a mushroom right after that, before we enter the main lock. And for modding, no idea. But at least, you've got a couple of TRULY impossible levels online.

Best betrayal of my life
The Idea of it having so many combinations relies on the thought that you have to enter the whole code and only then see if the lock opens. Not only that, but as a combination lock it shouldn't be able to tell you parts of the combination, but it does. You only have to try out all 8 combinations of the first row and write down when the canon spawns. You do the same for the other 99. That's 8x99 max. and you have the combination, enter the noted positions and you are in.
The Level should be saved as another, Change one small thing(like the theme or a sound effect that no one can hear), and save, then upload before the next patch
Video idea:
"Is it possible to create a level with a set clear rate?"
E.g. level is clearable only/ exactly 50 per cent of the time.
No clue if and how this would be possible but if there is a way, i'm sure you'll figure it out (:
Keep that good stuff going mate. Really love it.
Timing out is an issue
Probably is, assuming that exiting out doesn't contribute to the clear rate. Frog-march Mario forward with moving blocks such that the player's movement has no influence on what happens to Mario, then use a clown car randomizer to determine whether some Mario-killing obstacle blocks the path or stays out of Mario's reach while Mario gets frog-marched to the flagpole.
50/50 RNG that kills you if it's false and pushes you to the goal of it's true.
The biggest issue is that people can click "Start over" and lower the clear rate
So it's actually a mod detector, that's interesting unto itself.

@@lowecypher8761 Nintendo didnt even tryed to build an anti cheat in mk8. But thats their only self made competitive multiplayer game.

13:31 This is actually a variation of the birthday problem. I had to use approximations because of the large numbers involved, but it would "only" take 2e47 unique guesses for there to be a ~50% chance that the combination was guessed correctly. For context, 9^99 is approximately 2.95e94. So it would only take 6.77e-46% of all possible combinations to have a 50% chance of getting it correct.
Even with this small percentage, it would still take 1.37e35 years to guess the combination. The age of the universe is 13.7e9 years old.
That is not how the birthday problem works. Assuming every guess is unique, after 9^99/2 guesses, half the combinations have been tested. The chance that the correct guess is among those is 50%. The birthday problem is about the odds of two people having the same guess. That doesnt mean it is the correct guess.

If you truly wanted to make this secure add 3 more areas. Each time you die, you switch areas, you have to know all three combos. Each one has a unique something that signifies what part of the map your in.
Looking back at this, it really is about perspective. Being able to complete these locks relies on us not being able to see whats happening. But in the same way, if we were to flip that, most levels would be cryptographically impossible to complete without being able to see what is occuring. If you could obscure the player's vision enough, that they could not see anything, but they needed to complete an incredibly long, incredibly difficult, frame perfect kaizo run, from that perspective, we could create an even less probable combination lock. As it would take into account every button on the controller, every amount of momentum mario can have in any of the given directions, every jump, every grab, every ground pound. The solution is a combination of buttons and thumb stick movements that must be input in sequence perfectly. If the question is simply "what is the most cryptographically impossible level to beat?", while it would be much harder to mathematically quantify, it could be argued that it would be exponentially more difficult than a number inputting system of any kind
Interesting insight. But if the player could "progress" in the level, even if frame by frame, this would not apply. It would just take long, but nowhere near as long as guessing 1 in 10ˆ90.
Your math at 5:20 assumes that you can reuse numbers, which you cannot on a lotery ticket. Furthermore it is trying to count how many possible ordered sequences there are, even though the lottery doesn't care in what order the numbers are entered.
You would have to use the "n choose r" function, which counts how many possible unordered sequences there are. It is of the form:
n! / (r! * (n-r)!)
For this example the actual number of possible answers would be about 12.3 million
That's weird, in my country you have to get the order of the numbers correct to win.

I do actually have a truly "no way to ever beat it"-Impossible-Level (cleared; not uploaded, because I fear, Nintendo would just delete it).
The Level used to have the Intangible-Mushroom-Platform Glitch, that lets the Player clip through them, in order, to reach the Goal.
But since the 1.1.0 Update, this Glitch has been fixed by Nintendo, thus giving me the opportunity to upload a truly "no way to ever beat it"-Impossible-Level.

Classic number. One of my favorites
I just said all of that out loud and oh boi it was long

Read this without taking a breath
There are actually two more problems with your level:
1. you can let the spike top get left of the blaster, then go into a position where you only offscreen the blaster but leave the spike top loaded then let the spike top go to the place the now unloaded blaster was previously at and then load the blaster again which results in the spike top getting crushed. (this is also how I got the world record for your stage)
2. you can listen to the sound the beetle makes on the one ways when crushing blocks. For example if you crush every brick block except 3 in the last column you only hear the one way once which means that the last number has to be 4.
That's a lot like a lock picking sounding thing. "nothing on 2, binding on 3, a click on 4.."

This hurt my brain and was lovely. So glad I clicked. Liked and subbed ^_^

Is it possible to build a thermonuclear bomb in Mario Maker 2?
Hey Ceave! I played your newest level like a billion times! Not only did I absolutely love it, but I decided to download it as well (just for fun). I used the Multiplayer option in order to see if it was possible to get access to things I wasn't supposed to.
In fact, I did! (Kinda.) If Mario and Luigi are at either side of the camera border, and on of them rushes to the their side of the screen *and keeps running* , hoping that one of them on the other side dies, there will be one of those *pop-up things* that indicate that something has been *spawn blocked.* This is one way I "cheated" your level. (It didn't give me much access though)
Keep up the surprisingly simple work 👍🏻
This deserves a pin :]
@@haronka thx :]
Ceave: I am 100% sure that nobody can complete this level
Random person: Beats the level
Imagine someone gets lucky their first try. All their luck would have been wasted in this single, yet beautiful accomplishment.
Imagin hitting the code be accident and not even noticing it
You forgot a third way to crack the lock: break every block, see where the cannons land, retry the stage
I was just thinking that. All you have to do is count the total number of columns, and then go one-by-one on each column, finding the best number for each part. Grab some graphing paper to keep track of each individual number, and it will really only take a few hours. Nobody would sit there and do 1000 random guesses each day, they would keep detailed notes on which columns had or hadn't been completed, and process of elimination would solve the combination in time.
@@DoctorJRedBeard well played
I was thinking the same thing during the video. I wonder if I'm missing something
You forgot that the stage can transport you to a place where you can’t see the blasters or the columns and you have no idea whether what you did was correct
@@DoctorJRedBeard That's where I landed from the opposite direction. Just got to the door and you suddenly know all the zeroes. Break one block 99 times and you get all the ones. Repeat once for every block and it's done in 9 passes.

Hey, never seen that commented before!
When I see a ceave video and I click on it- It’s actually surprisingly simple
Bob-omb: **hits an on/off block**
Ceave: And rewards us with a key in the process.
I love how the intro for this one just passes the message of "help me, I have gone completely insane"
I was hoping you would implement something like an MD5 hash where even if you know the desired output and the algorithm that transforms input to output you can't guess the input. Hopefully that's in the Veedrac video...
EDIT: Nope, Veedrac just cleverly shifts the key space from the entity limit to the block limit, enabling more bits of security. Someone who can open the level in an editor can still beat it easily.
I can't believe humanity has reached a point where people implement hashes in Mario Maker.

"Luckily, i just lied to you."
I feel confused, but I am not.
Actually, the base is more important for some low options, say if start with 2^2, and get to increase one of them by one, 3^2(=9) is greater than 2^3(=8). Idk why, but I find the fact that it changes interesting.
You can still get global ground icicles. You just need to restore your system, build, and load the level with 1.0. Make sure to backup all your stuff to the cloud so you can reload it later. The game will run in the version of the level.
Even though I stopped playing SMM2 a few months ago, I still watch all of Ceave's vids as they're always just super entertaining

Absolutely awesome, congrats! One correction on the lottery example: Usually in a lottery, the order the numbers were chosen does not matter, and every number can only be chosen once. This makes it different from a simple exponentiation. Instead the number of combinations is n!/(k!*(n!-k!)). While that looks really complicated, it's actually quite intuitive if you see how that formula is derived. Simply look up "Lottery Mathematics" on Wikipedia for a good explanation.
That operator is also known as the "choose" operator, and if you enter "48 choose 6" in Google, it directly computes the answer for you.

"Thats not how you are supposed to play the game"
@@EmilyGamerGirl 🤔
see it this way: its so secure that you actually have to cheat to win
You can get the code by simply destroying all of the brick blocks. No cheats required.
you could try implementing a cryptographically irreversable function. it would increase entities/length dramatically, but it would probably solve the problem of modding to discover the combination.
Gonna use a smaller version of this for my front door lock. Thanks for the lesson, professor!
I never understand why you do these things to yourself, but I’m ngl I’m glad you do
