Congratulations to the team and the community as a whole for this pretty amazing achievement.

Turns out the one level that the group was having trouble with was originally uploaded using something called a TAS, which renders it null and void, so they didn't actually have to beat that one to finish them all.

**Edited title. Making sure that the word 'level' doesn't fit. Have a good day. *

Gotcha. I'm surprised this was the only example of this that gave them trouble.

Evidently, tas had not been developed for smm until that point, and the creator did it intentionally to get caught and use that to announce the smm tas, but the level went pretty much unnoticed for years.

But if that was actually his intent, he could have uploaded it and admitted it right away, maybe even make a stream or video about it. But he waited until it was last for some reason. Waited maybe hoping someone would beat it and he wouldn't get caught? Waited until so, so many accusers attacked him first?

I think what happened is he was kinda burned out on SMM at that point and so when no one cared it just saved him the trouble.
