PangaeaPanga

According to his FAQ, ‘My old username used to be penangbenny, and a couple of my friends called me Panga instead of penangbenny. Pangaea had the word Panga in it.’

PangeaaPanga grew up playing video games. However, his parents only bought him a few games, so he spent a lot of his childhood playing Super Mario Maker World on his Super Nintendo. He started playing the original Mario Maker game when it was released, and he created a few of his own levels as well.

What really inspired him to create more intense levels was when he was watching YouTube videos and saw the interesting mechanics that people were using to troll people. So, in 2007, he began creating Super Mario World Hacks in Luna Magic. In 2015, he started to become more interested in speed-running and playing Kaizo levels.

In 2016, while he was studying at the University of Connecticut, he began streaming his creative process and gameplays and his channel slowly grew, largely due to his existing fame within the kaizo community. He completed his degree in Management Information Systems in 2018 and was working full time while continuing to stream part time, until he lost his job in 2019 and decided to try streaming full time in the meantime.

According to his chat bot, he has ~430 subscribers. This should earn him at least $1,075 USD per month, excluding additional income from sponsorships, tiered subscriptions, tips, Twitch cheer bit donations, and advertisements.

He doesn't have a set schedule, but he tends to stream almost daily.
