Super Mario Maker Levels and Redwoods
Some notes & quotes from recent reads:
Super Mario Maker Players Are 99.62% of the Way to Beating Every Single Level, and They've Only Got a Month Left
Quotes:
The original Super Mario Maker will effectively shut down in April, and a group of players is racing against the clock to beat every single level before the servers go offline.
Super Mario Maker on Wii U was, as Nintendo put it, "discontinued" back on March 31, 2021, meaning that no new levels could be uploaded after that date.

That means there's a roughly one-month time limit for the community to prove it has what it takes to beat every level that's ever been uploaded.
A loosely organized group called Team 0% is working together to make sure no level goes uncleared, and they've built a website called Is Super Mario Maker Beaten Yet? to track the stats toward that goal. Back in February 2023 - the earliest date recorded on the site - there were 41,113 unfinished levels.
