it wasn't even considered the hardest level from that specific creator - they had an even more ridiculous one that got cleared earlier because it was seen as such

Yep, the even harder level was called Bombs5 and it was a level that gave the creator a hand injury (while trying to clear check) that wouldn't heal properly even with extended rest.

Besides that, a different creator known as "ChainChompBraden" made a level known as "Trials of Death" that he started building back in 2015 and spent almost 7 years trying to clear check. By the time he clear checked his level in 2022, Nintendo had already shut down the servers for new level uploads back in 2021. So he never got to upload Trials of Death to the game legitimately, only as a dev exit version.

Another player known as JCTheChamp had rebuilt the entire Trials of Death level in the level editor and successfully beaten it in this clear video:

If the real Trials of Death had been uploaded to the MM1 server without the dev exit, it would have been beaten before the server shutdown. The level is a potential competitor to Trimming The Herbs and Bombs5 for hardest level to be made in MM1 just because it's an insane 450 second long gauntlet level compared to TTH which is only about 13 seconds long but requires several frame perfect inputs.
