Trials of Death - The 7 Year Journey on the Hardest Mario Level
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- What an absolutely incredible journey this has been. When I first took on this project all those years ago, never could I have imagined how far it would go. This truly is the end of an era. There are a million different things I could say in this description, but I think I'll save my thoughts for an entirely separate video. A sort of Q & A video, perhaps. I had fun putting together this video, and although I have very limited editing experience, I think I did this level justice with this clear video. At the very least, I certainly conveyed the hype around it and its completion.
I intend on posting this level to the servers with the use of the custom Pretendo server. As of this video release, I've yet to do so, but we've waited nearly 7 years for this level so far, so I think most of you will be fine waiting just a bit longer. Should issues arise, we still have that secret code version I haven't released, but I think a lot of us would prefer the final product [insert that one Miyamoto quote here].
Level clear with original game audio: Expect that to release along side a future analysis video

Trials of death completion explained
@Bismuth gotta race Summoning Salt for the breakdown video. GG on almost completing the A Button Press series, a task nearly as complex as Braden’s level.
I love that the video is not just a clear celebration, but also a community celebration. It's been a wild 7 years, but I'm glad you can finally put this to rest. We're all so proud of you.
it's also impressive how much people have stayed on (at least a big part of) the whole process... like wow, seeing the same people as 5-6 years ago were feeling hype for this level, seeing them celebrate it now... meanwhile i have only been here for like 3 years and pretty inactive lol but i also admire the others who have stayed for longer and still were present around the time the completion happened
6 years of Underground Action. ONE MAN… ONE GAME… ONE COMMUNITY.. Their path will change..
nah he's got a lot more to do
Yes

35:01 there was a split second where this man got so hyped he literally reverted to monke. There is a primal energy to this achievement
It’s true

Are you going to try

Yatta!
1 month later, time flies by so fast! 💨
Born too early to explore the universe, born too late to explore the earth, born just in time to see the kaizo community pushed to its absolute limit
hello batter:)
You sir are an absolute legend
Oh hey it's the pokemon guy that makes videos
Holy crap it happened congrats!!

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
True that.
Absoltely
... and lifespan
It's honestly amazing how this guy kept trying to beat his own hardest Mario level for over 7 years and still didn't give up, even after the feature of uploading levels was discontinued in the original Mario Maker and all the people telling him he couldn't do it. This guy truly is a legend.
It became a personal goal. It's honestly great he kept at it.
I just cant believe.... 7 years at the same game, he never give up
it's actually under 7 years. 6 years and 8 months approx.
"he will not beat it never" is a double negative, so that guy accidentally said you would eventually beat it, and he was correct! this is insanely epic
The absolute chad move of screencapping every comment telling you to give up knowing that one day you could thrust your victory in their face.
Mayro typo'd moment
@@saltyralts her whole comment is invalid now sad
@Mayro and also kept their names instead of covering them. Absolute gigachad
It took maybe 20 seconds to tell this guy he can't do it. It took this guy 4.6k hours to disprove them. You tell me who the winner is lol

Its fake
Hi, I’m Aeon, and this is a video.
@@kamala7101 it's real
@@Fazegojo then what's more impressive that beating something after 7 years, while constantly making it harder?
@@Fazegojo like who?
my jaw DROPPED. i knew of this level's existance but didn't know how long it'd take to go through, not to mention how incredibly difficult it is so seeing it be beaten was simply amazing.
Congratulations on this incredible journey and playthrough. We love to see it 🎉
existence*
7 years.
so it's safe to say we can crown this man as the true mario maker king, right?
i feel like this is the single hardest achievement in all of gaming history
The pure spite that kept this man going is Insane
He's literally the one best suited to the word "insane"
@@Whowhatsit 🎤 🗑 anything else?
Its called PERSEVERANCE
Moved by pure "fuck you" energy
ITS CALLED PERSEVERANCE
You are so humbled to make this more about the community than the achievement itself. Absolute legend.
"it's surprising how we can feel so many emotions at once"
Well 27:31 that last sentence "the community Ive built" its hard to call CCB humbled , "Id say he started or we built" as the final trailer came out 5 years ago & with the MM1 upload feature disabled last year - so a large part of community moved on. Yet one didn’t & Im excited to watch this as a new to me experience
Tell us on the outside of the box viewers looking in - Did it soften the man? If by being hard on others (the no arrows / checkpoints thing is what gets me 😅😱) & years playing it just by himself by hours of gameplay then it was all worth it!!
I hope he picked it up & put it down over the years to enjoy many other things - Im not quite sure how to quantify that many hours of gameplay.
Definitely deserving the title of Madlad!! What a amazing video & journey!!
Watching someone completing Top 1 in games like MM GD FNaF OSU and Celeste makes me happy that we as humans can do amazing things
And watching him (guy beating it) and pushing Limit or that game is one of best moments in whole history imo
For those unaware, people have rebuilt this level exactly and are playing it. One man named JC The Champ has claimed the first clear!
Where was it rebuilt? In Mario Maker 2?
@@asteria7419 the editor has never been disabled in MM1, and it’s unlikely that it ever will be
@@HarryJSmith oh ok yeah
Man, imagine being a doubter and then suddenly he does it.
That dude at the end of the video probably needs to change his tag now lol
Haven't seen somebody get clowned on that hard in a long time
@Ll L yes but that's intuition most people don't use for jobs, instead of being a wet blanket on one of the most memorable achievements within a community, actually let people enjoy the journey this dude has taken and celebrate with the community!
@Ll L Doubter spotted
@Ll L his name goes down in mario history now. Soooo I don't think that's a time waster.
@Ll L this isn't something he had to devote every hour of every day to doing. he also probably had a life and did productive things like you say those people did, the difference was that their hobby in their free time was hating on something, and his hobby in between those things was accomplishing something insane that inspired a lot of people
I think the 2 key things to know about this is:
1) this was NOT the same level for 7 years. Constantly updated and made harder over 6.5 years
2) when something is a personal goal. It's never a matter of IF it will happen. He didn't do it for glory or fame or money or for anyone else, it was for himself
bruh nawhhhh nah bruhhh nah no way bruhhh fr? Bruhhh
He liked it. He was good at it. He felt... alive.
@@spect80r Good reference
This can’t be anymore true! 😊
I know I'm late, but this is one of the most wholesome achievements in video games history EVER. _7 whopping years to beat a single level._ You're a living legend ma man :))
This required ten straight minutes of pure perfection every fraction of a second. That's unreal.
I loved it when Braden said “it’s clearin’ time” and then proceeded to beat the hardest Super Mario Maker level ever and do possibly the hardest thing in gaming up to this point.
Huge GGs Braden

Same. I don’t know how something this big has gone under my radar for years.
@@DJ1482. same here 😢
I’m 18 now and was in 5th grade when I starting playing this game. You have become a childhood hero to me in this and an absolute inspiration for this next stage of my life. Well done!
I can’t believe I finally get to see it completed. This is unimaginable, the stuff of fiction. Watch Val’s Shellspace, or Seigein’s Magnum Opus, or Panga’s U-Break or the top hardest NSMBU levels of SMM2. As impossibly difficult as they all are, as a kaizo player I can still look at them and imagine they can be beaten.
This is a different beast.
Not only have you achieved the creation & completion of the hardest Mario level ever created, but you proved it was possible. This is the greatest achievement I have ever seen in a video game, and one of the greatest statements to the human will I have witnessed in my life. Actually, maybe that’s wrong- this isn’t human will. No one else could do this. Nobody but you, Braden.
Enjoy the fanfare my man. Anyone like me has been rooting for you from day one. This is single-handedly the biggest win of the Mario Maker community ever. Your talent is amazing. Mario Maker 1 has officially been completed, yes, but even more than that, you’ve brought the beautiful conclusion to a formerly unfinished fantasy story from my childhood. I remember watching your development as I grew up and when this game was all I cared about I always wished I could be like you. This is amazing!!!! Surreal isn’t a good word here. It’s just not enough to describe this otherworldly feeling. It doesn’t feel like this level has been beaten, because in my mind, this is the impossible challenge from my youth.
But this beautiful chapter comes to a close now. This momentous achievement from so many peoples’ childhoods has received the ultimate gift & honor of being realized for all to see. Let every person with a child at heart look at this climbed mountain, & cheer to the occasion of your impeccable spirit!!!
I can’t say anymore. Why write any longer? Words won’t do this conquered trial any justice. I find that they fail me as they leave my fingers.
Love you man, forever & always. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
it will eventually get cleared by another player, most likely by kingboo97 who has already said he is going to grind it until he clears it, also u-break or airspace are way easier than magnum opus

Im kinda honored being the first of the video reactions, thanks braden. Massive GGs again, youre a true inspiration ❤
Kinda funny how you leaked the email not only to our chat, but to everyone who watches this. It is absolutely amazing that your reaction is here!
Best reaction
should have just commented "first"
You've shown you have one of the most valuable traits in life: Determination. The ability to see a long and difficult project through to the end.
Seriously you could put this on a resume. I doubt you will ever find a challenge in any job more difficult and time consuming than this.
This is just underrated.
Literally it is one of a lifetimes accomplishments that anyone could do. Spending 7 years would feel like I would never be able to complete it. But seeing that you never gave up actually is why this was beaten.
As concieved in 1632 by Canadian Mario Maker player ChainChompBraden, Trials of Death was a gentlemen's level in which Phil and Redggie would square off and regale each other with stories monotonous for days on end as they watched Mario die over and over. Over the next few years, Braden gained a loyal following of a few hundred concurrent viewers.
It was ChainChompBraden's son, ChainChompChainChompBraden, who developed what he called the "not sneezing" strategy in 1637 after witnesing his father lose a legendary run to a massive sneeze causing him to fall out of his chair.
When ChainChompChainChompBraden challenged the fully buffed Trials of Death to an attempt, the doubters were in full force. You can imagine their surprise when while he was playing the final section of the level, he proceeded to complete the level without sneezing causing Trials of Death to be "clear checked" in the parlance of a pre-server shutdown time.
While it was universally agreed that the level couldn't be uploaded to the servers, ccccb had a dev-exit version that was previously uploaded allowing anyone to play the level after his victorious attempt.
This accomplishment caused an uproar in the Mario Maker community large enough to spill into local gaming articles, and stirred the interest of many Mario Maker streamers to see what the fuss was about. Streamers were enthralled to engage in this borderline barbaric display of human endurance and skill, and the rest is history-after a few spoilsport schoolmoms single-minded about safety srarted watching the windwaker feet streams, of course.
Today's Trials of Death enthusiasts fantasise about the newcomer that would clear an even further buffed version of the level than the one ChainChompChainChompBraden did.
Classification of the modern hyper-buffed level has essentially left it unclearable; but it's easy to get caught up in the fantasy. Young scholars with big dreams often do attempts of the level with their crazy new handicap, usually some variant of blindfolds or oven mitts. Although they've achived the occasional key door, none of the absurd gimmicks have been playable enough to make it to the end.
The real wonder, though, is that the level ChainChompChainChompBraden originally cleared is still being played. Trials of Death attempt livestreams can be found from streamers all over twitch; you can visit one most any day of the week and see an erudite gentleman exchanging plesantries with twitch chat.
Most people only come to watch a few hours of attempts, and then leave. But every once in a while you'll find amongst your elders a stout fellow, a die-hard fan, who perhaps witnessed that historic clear from ChainChompChainChompBraden, who for the love of the level must stay to witness the last glorious seconds of motivation slip away, only to give up and not try again another day.
I'm sure Andre Filipe would approve.
ok
Down the rabbit hole vibes.
Yo bro is that a muthafluppin *_Frog Fractions_* reference??1?
I love that Braden kept all the screenshots of his doubters. I imagine him posting them all on a bulletin board in his room lol. The clear was inevitable! Congratulations!
And when he achieves something like beating a hard level, he likes to post something on his wall to celebrate- oh wait wrong channel

For about 3 years, I kept telling myself “surely this is the year he beats it”. Honestly, in 2022, I decided to skip that tradition. I thought it was more realistic to hope for 2023. But then nai 9 happened and I thought “imagine it happens this year”. Well, let’s just say we never saw a nai 10. GG Braden, you have accomplished so much more than just beating a Mario Maker level, you are a legend. Huge congrats, and I’m excited to see what’s next for you
Omg elo destro
« He did it because he did not know it was impossible ». We fail when we doubt or when we think something is not possible. This story is a perfect example.
This story, your story is one of the best of the video game history. Each time I feel emotional! Your strength, your will, your patience is out of this world !
This is one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen, the sheer dedication this man has even if it's just a video game is absolutely awr striking.
This is truly THE Super Mario Maker moment. Surreal to think this went on for 7 years, and you never gave up, you kept going and going just for a personal goal, and that's simply admirable, you deserve a break, you've earned ir.
Thank you so much for even including me as the last reaction xD
I'm honored to have that.... but yeah, the True Ending is a very worthy one ;)
The honor of being in the video still isn't as big as the honor of being part of this Seven Year Schlobberknocker ™.
👍🏿
I am not overstating it when I say, this is probably the biggest achievement in gaming history. ChainChompBraden just conquered the hardest level in ANY video game (imo). This monumental occasion will no doubt go down in gaming history.
To be honest I forgot this guy existed and I’m sad to say that! I knew about the level but I never knew it was as hard as it is! So CONGRATS! 🍾🎈🎊🎉 YOU DESERVE IT ALL FOR ONE OF MANKINDS GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS! GOING IN THE HISTORY BOOKS!
Legendary achievement - dare I say, a source of inspiration greater than Streets 112.
Also oh my GOD, the power fantasy to clown on unhinged CZcams comments is one of the most satisfying things I've ever witnessed

@@ReadySalted80Number1ForSoaps anyone is capable of beating this level. It`s just the fact that it will take someone a long LONG time just to get close to the end no matter how experienced they are. So it could be another 7 years before someone else ever beats this
I've been dealing with severe health issues for more than 2 years now and have been practicing Traditional chinese medecine for 3hrs a day, for 18 months straight. Although I'd been having crazy improvements, the time span was starting to wear me down, doing the same routine 7 days a week for so long. But then I saw your accomplishment and it lit up the fire inside me again, 18 months is nothing compared to 84. Thank you for reminding me that all things are possible as long as you believe
I just got around the time to watching this video. This is a huge inspiration to me and forever will be for the rest of my gaming. If someone asked me what the most unimaginable and difficult thing a human can do, it would not be this because you are not human. You're skill and persistency is surreal. It must have been exciting to see the axe the first time in a run and satisfying as hell see it the last time. And again, GG!
that ending really warms my heart
Hi 🐐
Absolutely stunning. Trials of Death has been an amazing community to be a part of and it made it possible for me to meet some of the best people I've ever talked to, as well as inspiring my own two year grind. I cannot believe you did it. Braden Moor, you've done something truly incredible; you have conquered Death.

Holy shit! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video is epic.
Your determination has always been inspiring.
And it wasn't until Vegetafan's video that I realized the whole reason I ever made a twitch account was to watch your live attempts. I saw you reference your level on GoSeigen's MagnumOpus clear, and that opened the rabbit hole.
Sad I missed it, but super happy for you dude!
I can't imagine how good it feels to have finally cleared it,
But you made a good point about it really being about the journey.
Thanks for being an inspiration!!!!!!!
Thanks for the hours of determination.
Thanks for showing us how to deal with haters.
And thanks for giving us this sweet video to close the whole thing out.
I will keep posted.
This will forever be the best achievement in gaming history. When I first saw this, I thought it would've never been beaten for the rest of time. I'm glad that I was proven wrong. I could never spend seven years doing a single thing, let alone something of this difficulty. Massive congrats, Braden. You're impossibly strong.
The amount of Mario's that had to die for this to be completed is disastrous, but genuinely always looked forward to Trials of Death being slayed someday and now that it's finally happened I couldn't be happier and thanks so much for streaming the level over the years. I have always admired your dedication. I still remember the first day I decided to finally create an account and follow you instead of watching signed out. I have always believed for the last 3 years that I have been watching this journey that you would clear it. Congratulations this is massive
Mario… maked?!? 😔
Somebody get Karl Jobst's attention on this. Outlandishly outstanding job, Braden.
A Karl Jobst video on this would make everyone feel like an absolute legend.
Yes. I'm down for it if the video goes live.
If you thought spending one month on a Doom level was hard
Also remember to tell lilkirbs he can't beat this ^^
@@royceblack6752 he'd beat it in a day.
Thats crazy, I remember watching the first trailer years ago and cheking your progress from time to time and now one of this times I chek you actually made it, congrats man.
I started watching the stream when an attempt was roughly in the section at 19:42 and got a completely wrong impression of how insanely complex and precise and dense the sections in this level are. Pretty much started watching at the only point in this level that resembles anything I know about kaizo from other games, and I remember calling it something like "reasonable" from just those first 30 seconds I watched. Boy was I wrong.
Absolute insanity that an 8 minute long level with that sort of density is possible. Somebro told me that half a minute in SMM is the equivalent of like 8 minutes in SM64 if the individual jumps are around the same difficulty. So this is probably longer and harder than the red coin star in dj0nk's Junk. Mad respect dude
Fire. Language. Agriculture. Electricity. Space travel. The internet. ChainChompBraden beats Trials of Death.
Truly one of mankind’s greatest achievements.
This is gaming history right here. I remember showing this to my friends in middle school five years ago, and seeing it actually done is so surreal, it doesn't even feel real. Absolutely monumental completion, nothing is ever going to top this.
Are you still with your friends in middle school?
@@pleasedont7439 he would have finished middle school by now if it was five years ago
Ai will probably be able to do it in 20 years or so. But for now this is the highest any entity on earth can achieve in mario.
Dark Souls speed runners: "We have accomplished the greatest feat in gaming history."
ChainChompBraden: "Hold my koopa shell."
theres many better accomplishments than dark souls stuff in gaming anyways other than this
That was the most amazing mind-blowing level clear and I've ever seen. And possibly the single greatest achievement in the history of gaming. NGL, I actually shed a tear afterward at the thought of how satisfying Braden must have felt accomplishing this truly god-like feat in gaming history, when so many people told him to just give up and told him he would never be able to do it. Bragging rights for life as far as I'm concerned...
Despite all the criticism, the denial from other players, you pushed through, and after 7 years, you did it! I never doubted you for a millisecond! Your dedication is honestly inspiring!
Let it be known that those 10 minutes might just be the greatest 10 minutes in the entire history of gaming. Proud of you, man. I hope you carry this with you as a trophy for the rest of your life, because you deserve it.
this video deserves way more attention and views than it has right now. this deserves millions and this man needs an award. congrats dude this was truly amazing and one of if not the best and most complicated gaming achievement ive ever seen.
I mean... seeing that leaves me rather speechless. Holy crap.
Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment. The dedication it took to make this happen is beyond my comprehension. I'll be sharing the clear video with my brother, as it's definitely something worthy of being seeing by any Mario player.
This is one of the craziest achievements in gaming history. Nearly a decade of work and thousands of hours went into this single level. Very few people have the drive and perseverance necessary to complete such a difficult challenge, yet you kept pushing to achieve your goals. Congratulations on completing this level Braden!!!
Pranav now keep eye on jc the champ,yoshi,king boo and choco
This journey was so much more than a level. You've changed the lives of many, brightened the days of many, and achieved something of an incomprehensible magnitude. Thank you so much for doing this.
👍🏿
Oh wow, late to the party but you actually did it? Congrats man, been following your conquest on and off but pretty stunning you actually managed to beat it. Milestone in competitive gaming for sure.
太强了
Amazing！
Really amazing to see this kind of level being challenged through. It proves that anything is possible as long as you believe in it and keep working on it.
I feel ashamed of myself cuz I haven't spent more than 100 hours on my levels and get bored easily, but the dedication you had over the 7 years is mind-blowing.
I literally remember watching your runs of this on Twitch after watching 2GG ZeRo Saga back in 2016! Huge W
I had no idea ChainChompBraden and Trials of Death was a thing until this video... I'm 99% certain of it.
The bit about 7 years taken to complete a level made me raise an eyebrow and click. My conception when I started watching was, "oh, another kaizo level, must be a big one." I gave you props when the video started mentioning you were buffing the level over and over again. I laughed when I realized you actually kept trying to clear it in MM1 after Nintendo shut down the upload capability instead of replicating it in MM2. And then you got to the completionist run. The level design... the sequencing... the setups... the intricacy... it gained my honest respect. And then it kept going. And going. And GOING.
Normal kaizo levels? We talk about someone taking multiple hours to beat them. Some really hard levels take people days. This one took 7 years. Let that sink in for a bit. This level? Trials of Death? It's not a hundred times harder than a normal kaizo level that takes some scrub an hour to beat. It's not even over nine thousand times harder than a normal kaizo level. It's over FIFTY THOUSAND TIMES harder... than a normal kaizo level. That's halfway to SIX ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE.
And he beat it.
I have no words for the type of awe this inspires - just comparisons. 9 Nais before the success doesn't mean much on its own, until you realize he replicated that nigh frame perfect run nine other times. This is one of the greatest feats of skill of all time, and even hearing about it after the fact... I'm proud to be here too.
Congratulations. Felicitations. Kudos. Upvotes. You deserve them all.
He is insane
What i find fascinating is that this is Mario Maker 1, not 2. Truly incredible.
Mm1 had more stupitly hard tech like smw wall jumps
Bruh this level was created way before Mario maker 2 😅
One of the greatest achievements in gaming. The mental resilience of this guy is just honorable
WOW! This clear video was everything I expected and more! Once again I’m going to say a huge congratulations to you, Braden. I’m so thankful to have been a part of this journey and it has been amazing being a part of your lovely community that you managed to build! I’m excited for what’s to come ❤️Also AoT music FTW
The awesome thing about this, is that it's really motivational, despite how absurdly difficult to the point of actually looking impossible for humans to do, ChainChompBraden did it.
What's really motivating about this is that it made everything else i wanted to accomplish seem so much more reachable than this, actually amazing.
Congratulations and thank you ChainChompBraden!!! Genuinely.
it'd be completely impossible for most humans, but very few can do stuff like this
The sheer willpower and determination required to grind something like this for 7 years… damn. I wouldn’t even know what to do with myself after. Although knowing Chain Chomp he’ll immediately set his sights on another impossible challenge and beat it lol. Hats off to you man, keep it up.
This man ain’t built different, He’s on a different plane of existence
This level being cleared re-defines what I think is humanly possible in video games. I've made a lot of TASes, but this level looks more impressive/impossible to perform than most of them are! It just goes to show - with enough patience and effort, anything is doable. Major congratulations to Braden on completing gaming's most impressive achievement!!!
I just found out that this existed a day ago. I heard about it from someone who was talking about if the hardest tower in a game that I play was even possible. The completion of this level was one of his main points to why it would be possible (if the game doesn't die or a physics update doesn't happen)
Coincidentally, I randomly saw this video on my recommended page today. I have watched a bit of Mario Maker content, but never have played the game. Nonetheless, because of that person mentioning the level, I decided to see what it was. I knew that this level was one of, if not the, hardest level in the game, and that it had taken 7 years to beat, but that was all.
Now, I realize that I have accidentally stumbled into the aftermath of one of the craziest and most impressive grinds in gaming that I have ever seen. I've heard of people spending 40 hours to do something, and I'm actually in the middle of a 50+ hour grind which I will hopefully complete soon, but I've never seen anything like this.
So to ChainChompBraden, your achievement has inspired more than just the Mario Maker community, but the whole of the gaming community as a whole, even the little crevices of a community in the childish game of roblox. You have impacted the whole of the gaming community in such a way which has showed thousands of people that anything is truly possible if you put your mind to it and never give up. You have illustrated an image of a journey to success more than most people on this planet, including myself, could ever imagine.
I may have learned about this just yesterday, but I realize that this is more than just a regular completion. I realize that this is 7 years and thousands of hours of pushing the limit to as far as it can possibly go. I realize that this is tens of thousands of little mistakes and so much grinding to show to people that this is in fact possible. I realize how amazing of an achievement this truly is, so amazing that I can't even comprehend it.
So on the behalf of this message, I congratulate you and give you the biggest GGS possible. I wish you the best of luck with wherever your journey brings you next, and I hope that I can begin to be a part of that.
Because I, too, understand that it's about the journey, not the destination.
i feel like youre talking about JToH, yes ToRF is possible, just no one will beat it
@@namelastname6884 Yeah, I was talking about JToH. I believe that someone might beat it in the future if the game isn't teared apart by a physics update.
Thank you for recognizing what I was talking about lol
Also: I didn’t mean that ToRF was going to be a new hardest tower for the community. Due to the opinions on it, I think it would be more likely that another obby would take that spot. What I meant is that due to the current significance that we are giving the tower, once more people start crossing the unreal and possibly even nil barriers, someone is going to do it just to say they did. Then again this is all my opinion and you might disagree, but thats fun
I can't express better than anyone else already has what an incredible achievement this is, but I also want to say, what an awesome level. It's laid out perfectly for what it is; each moment is like part of the narrative of beating it. It's paced like a good movie, with so many memorable sections and an arc from start to finish that really sells the emotional moment when you start approaching that axe. I like how it starts out fast and flashy, then throughout the middle it gradually gets more slow and tense, and towards the end you get all these especially distinctive high-concept parts that fill you with that "this is it" feeling before launching you through one last gauntlet of nonstop action punctuated by that one last jump every level like this has to have, that gives the end of the level the celebration it deserves. The way it's all put together definitely contributed to how excited I was by the end; it's great to see a level that's designed to embody the context surrounding it and everything it stands for. Congrats on beating this monster of a level after so long!
You are a big inspiration to all of the smm community, it’s very cool to see you pull it off after all these years. GGG
Possibly the greatest achievement in all of gaming. Even tho i just found out about it from a gc on discord i cannot comprehend the amount of time and effort you put into this level like i don't even know what's going on everything looks like a frame perfect timing. This completion better get some huge popularity because you sure as hell deserve it, GG!
An absolutely incredible achievement in perseverance! I had been following this journey off and on and telling my speedrunning buddies about it and to see it actually completed is mind-blowing, but in my opinion what's impressive even more so than the insane clear itself is the dedication to stick with it to the end which made this finale such an inspiring moment. GG!
I thought GD would be the one to reach near perfection.
And I may be right, with levels like Exasperation requiring inhuman reflexes, and corroZ being just simply difficult,
But even the hardest of GD took the backseat to this. For the next while, this is as close as it gets to human perfection.
GGs
(Move onto our realm of rage now. Short and sweet. You’ve proved to have crazier resolve than anything I’ve ever seen, so I wouldn’t doubt you’d get through something insane like Paraballa or VSC.)
You've done what so many doubted and proved to the world that if there's a will, there's a way, congratulations Braden you are incredible.
Such an amazing celebration of one of the greatest achievements in gaming history. Once again, congratulations
You've done it.
You have shown that with unfailing determination, anything is possible.
It's stupid, but that's what we have to remember about this incredible performance of play and level creation.
As a fellow geometry dash player , we are able to to comprehend seeing such an insane amount of attempts & playtime dedicated to beating a single level.
And yet this is incomprehensible..
The amount of patience , skill & determination required to be able to do such a feat is still ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING..
This is truly one of the if not the hardest achivement in gaming history
Massive respect for you and good luck in future 👍
I genuinely do not think GD has a story as grand as this one. Closest that comes to this would be either Kugelblitz (honestly the parallels between his story and this one are insane), but that has yet to come to an end, or Nifty (he has 600+k attempts on Firework, projected to be over 1 mil when he beats it).
Before this I thought GD had the greratest challenges of gaming to offer, but honestly I think my opinion has swayed.
I’m a gd player and I just do believe that is harder than any level ever beaten within gd other than 1, but that’s just it. And I could be completely wrong. But this level has the greatest story in any game ever
this is like if sailent created silent clubstep and then tried to actually verify it
@@drunkendog4469 It's definitely up there , but trials of death clears all those
@@drunkendog4469 ever heard of a little level called "Silent Clubstep"
I just spent 30 minutes staring in slack-jawed AWE at this monstrosity. Most epic dump of my life. You are something else, man. Much love from Larl!
I have no idea who you are, I found this video because Carl posted it in a pinned comment on one of his videos. You have also made it pretty clear with how you dealt with doubters that you don't really care what others think about you or your personal project. So it doesn't feel like I deserve to say this, or that youd even care.
But you set yourself a purposefully "impossible" task and you didnt stop trying until you did it. And that is just so stupidly, beautifully human.
I'm proud of you. Congradulations.
congratulations man , ive seen a video about you and honestly i'm glad you didnt give up and didnt listen to the haters telling you it was impossible, youre a source of inspiration
it'd be impossible for all them because they arent nearly skilled enough to get past the first section, but not for braden
What an amazing journey has been. The fact it took 7 years to beat, which is how many years I've been apart of the SMM community is absolutely wild. This is the greatest moment in video game history.
It's also hilarious that you screenshoted every doubter and show it to the internet, so we can laugh at their embarrassment. 🤣
Amazing work, man. You drop this. 👑
Just because something took 7 years to beat doesn't mean that makes it the hardest ever thing to be beaten in any video game. For one, this game is independent from all other video game types, and cannot be compared to other games, due to different physics, controls, features, etc.
Second, while this is and will likely be the hardest completion in this game forever that does not mean it suddenly triumphs over every other game, for the reasons I said in my first point.
Lastly, why people even factor in time to determine how hard something is is beyond me. You could spend 1000 hours on something extremely easy or you could beat something extremely hard in 5 hours, that doesn't make the easy level suddenly harder than the hard level. When comparing levels, you have to look at the objective difficulty and other factors related to that like how long the level is, how precise the jumps are, how punishing the level is if you fall and so on.

Fair point. But in the end, it's how we view of what's consider to be the most difficult task in a video game. In my opinion, taking 7 years to beat seems really impressive.
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’ve been following your journey for 6 years! Crazy it’s been this long!
“The course-uploading feature is no longer available”
Just one final kick to the balls 😔…
❤GG Braden ❤
This is one of the most incredible grinding feats I’ve ever seen. I haven’t been following your progress actively on twitch, but I’ve been curious about your progress by checking your CZcams channel every several months or so for maybe 5ish years, hoping you wouldn’t give up or move on. Easily one of the greatest accomplishments in gaming as a whole, and truly a story that needs to be widely noticed
So proud of you Braden and all the work you have put into it, love you and keep up the good work!
All hail the king of Mario maker Chain chomp Bradon. But really. I remember seeing this level all those years ago when I was just turning 8 and now am just about to turn 15. You and Ryu inspired me to beat some of the hardest levels in the game and even though I may not be the best player and there's way harder levels for me to still beat this level showed me my all time favorite game. And even though I didn't tune into a lot of streams what you have done is truly insane ♥️
The power of spite determination and will never ceases to amaze me
This is insane, you made gaming history.
this is like the most insane achievment ever in videogames
if it wasn't for you, i would never imagine there is anyone in this world even close to the consistency and persistence that you got right here
you had a dream, a goal, and didnt matter anything around, you went with all for it
unlucky how i missed it, but this is very inspirating
people should stop criticating that hard lol
at the point where someone has been trying it for over 6 years, you have to spect he is not going to stop for anything in the world
massive GGs man, most deserved clear ever :D
now waiting for ToD 2- cough
