What happens when automatic level generating software meets skilled Mario-bot software? – the above effortless automation apparently. Hmm, not so quite as exciting to watch without the possibility of tripping up. Though, there was a classic wall-jump save near the midpoint.

Update: In the comments, Ian points out this higher qual youtube version and clarifies that the project is an entry from the Mario AI Competition.

    It’s for a Mario AI competition here:

  2. I’m a bit confused – it looks like the bot falls into a hole and should have died at around 0:44. Anyone else catch that?

    I will love someone forever if they create a container around this so it could operate as a screen saver. Maybe that should be my next project.
