The mission here is to make it through 4 custom stages in Super Mario Maker. Up first is COSMO.

This looks insane! Cosmo made good distance but did not make it to the end. Let’s see how John Numbers does.

HOLY SH!T!!!!

JOHN NUMBERS beats the stage!

John Numbers is up first in the second stage which is modeled after Super Mario Bros 3.

COSMO is coming up now to take his crack at the second stage. COSMO makes a come back and takes the second stage!

The third stage is modeled after Super Mario World. Cosmo is up first. He clears it with little to no issue.

JOHN NUMBERS clears the stage as well. We are now at the final round!
