Popular Streamer’s Super Mario Maker Levels Were Deleted

Super Mario Maker‘s biggest issue may be the random deletion of levels, and David “GrandPOObear” Hunt is the latest person to experience this. All of his levels were deleted. He eventually got on the phone with Nintendo’s customer service. However, there was no solution. Every common reason levels are taken down, such as inappropriate activity or cheating, could not be found.

So what does Hunt think the reason behind this is? He feels it’s a punishment for speaking out against Nintendo for their policies. Many people have done this, but he has a video trail of documented evidence.

Nintendo has still avoided the issue, and did not comment on it.

  1. If this is why, my god! The disease that is the Miiverse admins is spreading to other faculties of Nintendo! D:

    1. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, EVERYONE!!! Next thing ya know, you’ll be getting personal patches on your console that intentionally corrupts your save data! lol

          1. Sadly, some games on the PS4 have this same issue when they get patches, too. So I’m assuming the Xbone also has this issue. So Nintendo is not intentionally doing that with their patches for Smash Bros. So it seems to be a big problem all around this gen.

    2. Once I got banned from Miiverse because I said I liked Persona 4 and was getting Persona 5 to someone in a comment. Then, someone said the comment was inappropriate and banned me for 1 or 2 weeks (forgot how long lol). It was the first time I posted anything on there too XD If they want it child friendly, why do they have M rated games with communities XD

          1. One of the artists I followed name Eric is one such victim of getting permabanned. He made another account but still. Then there was another named Mina who was extremely good. She eventually got tired of her drawings getting reported & blocked so she pretty much quit Miiverse altogether. She did come back a long while ago & drew a great Rosalina picture but left again. I think she just lurks it now at this point, Yeahing things she likes. Except for Monday nights & the occasional Sunday night, I mostly lurk on there, too, when I’m not either on here or playing a video game. All the changes has ruined Miiverse for me. :/

            1. I still go there, and jwillz is an extremely good artist, got banned the next day later and for nothing. I got good skills myself, but I just do quick doodles just to avoid the trolls that get jealous that someone can draw better then them.I got proof of my drawings and one picture of jwillz on my deviant art. I got permission for this one too.

      1. I was banned for calling a kid “Silly” we live in a day and age where everyone pulls the “YOU HURT MY FEELINGS!!!” card. Not to mention the Admins, are the most power abusive shit stains in the business. Bet you didn’t know they have a quota for banning users. It’s to show Nintendo that they are indeed “working”.

        1. |||Nintendo Dark Commander Quadraxis-NX Prime|||

          -||Well it’s the NN-Police, what do you expect, I want them destroyed and replaced by me||-

      2. I got banned for one day when I asked someone to add me so that we would be able to trade on a game.
        Sent it for a review, still said I broke the rules. XD.

        1. LOL that’s so stupid XD I can’t think of any other word for it; especially when a ton of people’s status messages on 3DS Pokemon games ask for people to add them or trade/battle them >_< What's the difference if it's on Miiverse?

        1. Yep. One time, someone had a picture from Super Metroid asking how to get out of an area they were trapped in. They were directly below the secret passage in the picture so I told them to “shoot up.” Next thing I know, my comment got reported for being bullying/hateful. Now that I think about it, I think that comment is still blocked on Miiverse even after I said sent the pre-made defense of “I did not violate the blah blah blah.”

        2. Apparently those fucking imbeciles don’t actually read the fucking context & take some comments out of context. I expect that bullshit from a horrible news outlet that likes to paint innocent people in a negative light by taking what they say out of context & using it to say this person is bad, evil, etc.

        3. I honestly believe the admins are just completely & utterly incompetent retards that should not be in charge of running a damn thing. Especially a social media outlet. Sadly, Miiverse is barely that these days with all of the anti-social media updates.

  2. It’s not a random deletion. The manual clearly explains that if your level doesn’t get enough stars it gets deleted. This is to avoid a massive cluster of poorly designed levels.
    It’s something necessary to avoid all those garbagy levels

    1. Well, considering all of my levels have only gotten less than 10 stars, I’m guessing that they’ll be gone soon… Even though I really liked most of them.

      See that’s the thing, it’s practically luck whether or not your level gets popular, and that completely ruins even wanting to make levels for me. Why would I even bother making a level if no one’ll ever play it if it doesn’t get lucky enough to be popular…

      1. Exactly, becoming popular in Mario Maker never felt like making quality levels, it felt like being a popular youtuber or just getting lucky. The system’s downright broken but sadly there is no real other way to do it.

  3. Sadly, this kind of thing does not me surprise anymore. This is Nintendo being… Nintendo.

    That being said, poor guy, his levels were well designed, popular and such. I can’t imagine how many hours he spent creating them.

    Way to go, Nintendo… ¬¬

    1. I don’t think nintendo is going after him, I’m just assuming it’s a glitch in the system’s level deletion or something it has been going on for a while it’s not just him happen to a few of mine

      1. Neither do I –and I agree with you: In my opinion, it is in fact a glitch or something like that. But I’m uncomfortable with the idea that people don’t get a deletion warning from Nintendo beforehand the level vanishes.

        Nintendo could have handled this situation much better.

      2. If it were a glitch Nintendo would have mentioned it like they did the last time there was a glitch where they had to shut down the Mario Maker servers till they fixed it. This is another BS Nintendo policy. Open your eyes to the truth, we can’t be Nintendo fanboys living in lala land all our lives you know.

    2. Doing more looking into may lead that his name Poo could be a reason, The way the game deletes levels maybe targeting it

      1. |||Nintendo Dark Commander Quadraxis-NX Prime|||

        -||Yes specially since many of his levels contained the word in one way or the other, hopefully is the reason behind popular ones and not just random deletion||-

      2. All because of the word poo? Really? lol It’s worse than I thought. There really are idiots at Nintendo.

    1. Yeah, me too and I don’t play anymore. There are some flaws in the way the online community is structured in my opinion and it has nothing to do with vanishing levels

  4. This is just terrible… The fact that some people actually put effort into making their levels… And they get deleted without a trace… So far two of my levels were deleted… :c

  5. Ha, lets see the Nintendo Fanboys defend this one. I’ve exposed Nintendo over and over and the fanboys always try to blast me, never works cause they’re idiots and I’m not, but still. Why are people surprised Nintendo is pulling more BS? Here is the harsh truth, NINTENDO HAS THE MONEY TO FUCK UP FOR LIKE 50 MORE YEARS BEFORE THEY NEED TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT FIXING THEIR SHIT.

    1. |||Nintendo Dark Commander Quadraxis-NX Prime|||

      -||First you are the Empire’s defender at all costs and other times the total opposite, schizophrenic?||-

    2. I sure hope they don’t go 50 more years with failures before fixing their shit. Cuz by then, their reputation will be so brutally damaged that there won’t be anyone around TO fix their shit for. They’ll be the next Enron having to file for bankruptcy & cease operations soon after. :/

    1. No, if you dig a little deeper, you will see that it was a portion of the save file that was deleted. So not only are the levels not available online, but all his stars are gone, and the levels within the editor itself. Curiously, the editor shows other levels, but the ones that were uploaded are 100% gone and not showing the blocked from upload icon.

    – Thinks his dangerous opinion is being punished by Nintendo
    Nintendo don't even know who this loser is.
