That’s exactly what happened when Miiverse user Kocobé uploaded this level to unsuspecting players.

Yes, we know Rickrolling, or the practice of tricking Internet-goers with Rick Astley’s hit ’80s song “Never Gonna Give You Up,” is a tired tradition, but it’s still cool to see this level. Let’s see how many more memes will make it into Super Mario Maker.
