The only obviously questionable aspect of the level (besides the incredible difficulty that has us in a cold sweat after watching the video below) is its name: &#8216;Pile of Poo&#8217;. Hunt counters this argument, though, with the point that Nintendo permitted the re-uploading of his original Wii U levels containing the same name:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ugh, I am already tired of the \u201cit\u2019s the word Poo\u201d. <br \/>It\u2019s not.
