HappyLee | SMBbot plays Super Mario Bros. World 4 in 02:59 (AutoTurbo) @HappyLeeHL | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 10 minutes ago
To skip the repetitive process and see final playback, go to 03:16.
Inspired by MarI/O and LuigI/O, I've made my own SMBbot, except that it's not AI, it's what I call an "Artificial Idiot", for it's really DUMB. It doesn't read map, doesn't read level information, doesn't evolve, doesn't have much memory. It basically just jumps randomly, and loads savestates after dying or bumping into a wall.
Yet the performance is very satisfying for such a simple script. It's able to complete the entire World 4 in 02:59 with AutoTurbo, with only 795 retry, and in speedrun style!
World 4 is indeed the hardest world for SMBbot, especially 4-3 and 4-4. In this video, it got lucky, completing the hardest parts with few retry. The maze can only be solved by activating the "wall-free mode" which allows Mario hitting the wall after WT=800.
After some manual upgrade, now it can solve every stage before 8-4 with no problem. I'll keep it this way (but a bit smarter) and see how far it can go!

VS. Airman is a powerful SMB1 Hack made by ATA. This TAS I made uses Luigi to complete the level in 01:11.60, which is probably the fastest solution.")
