destructoid.com "Modding a game to make it glitch out and do freaky shit is one thing. Modding a game and turning it into an amazing work of art is quite another. Take, for instance, these clips of various user created worlds in Super Mario World. In each of them, a sort of Rube Goldberg machine is set into motion, allowing the "player" to do absolutely nothing to get from point A to B. Not only is it hypnotic, it cripples the mind.
Screw saving the best for last. This is the best one. Sure, it starts off nice and easy with some fanciful Bullet Bill dodging, but things quickly get ri-damn-diculous in the second section. In an elevator, Mario is in constant back-and-forth movement in every direction as bullets fly from the four corners. The final second when he hops onto Yoshi? Brilliant! There's even a boss battle at the end."

BicycleRepairManThat is amazing, they had to cheat a little, I dont know how you can get into a pipe without pushing down? Still, doesnt take away from what looks like an amazing achievement
Artsays...It makes you kind of proud when you see an old game grow up and learn how to play by itself.
loorisJust like BRM, I noticed the pipe problem
PaybackWhen Mario jumped/fell on that last ghost, it probably started a "scripted" sequence.
entr0pythat was pretty impressive. though there are moments at the end where Mario sits, or holds a turtle shell, both of which require you to hold buttons.
pyrexA thoroughly hacked SNES ROM, impressive stuff.
bhyphenlowsays...Too bad that game plays itself better than I ever did.
special_opsThat was sick. Wow.
deedub81He was able to go down the pipe and pick up the shell because it's a MOD. He programmed it that way.
...also: What a waste of time. TWO THUMBS UP!!!
karaidlI have a Playstation that likes to play XBox.
skfortysays...If you look at that last dialog box before the pipe, i believe it says something about the fact that it will be scripted that "Y button, B Button, and DOWN" will be pressed. thats how he goes through the pipe, stays ducked, picks up shells, and runs
