"Nintendo has been wiping hundreds of Super Mario Maker 2 levels from its Nintendo Switch servers over the past few days, as said levels reportedly contained 'advertising content.'"
"The community seems to think that number is closer to 1,000, with a well-known cheater by the name of MT94 suspected to be the culprit behind the removals."
"Members of the Team Shell Discord server tag their levels with hashtags such as '#TS' or '#TeamShell' if they were custom-built for the server."
"Nintendo has, for whatever reason, deemed this advertising, but why exactly has Nintendo opted to start removing these levels now?"
Nintendo has deleted around 1,000 Super Mario Maker 2 levels due to their association with advertising content linked to the Team Shell Discord server. The removals began with approximately 300 levels and escalated quickly. The community suspects a cheater named MT94 is involved. Levels featuring hashtags like '#TS' or '#TeamShell' are specifically targeted, as they indicate a connection to the Discord server. Despite the lack of financial motives from Team Shell, Nintendo has classified these tags as advertising, prompting the recent wave of deletions.
