Games that push the limits of old game-making tools

I was too young to be part the scene in that time, but I do remember when Mario Maker 1 was popular. There were a lot of cool things that the community came up with, such as making a level that kills you if you look left. There was one guy who made a bunch of cool levels, like one where Yoshi tries to kill you, or one where you and a koopa troopa have to "work together" to defeat Bowser.

Things went absolutely crazy when the second game came out. There was Zelda dungeons, hot potato, and incredibly niche mechanics. The troll levels too, were absolutely mind-blowing in how they were able to manipulate you into doing dumb things that wouldn't even occur too you normally. Too bad all that got drowned out by those "refreshing" levels.
