[We're going crazy tonight, with Zac, Lemon, and Tron all appearing on the front page! ZOMG! -- DMV] 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. Here's another one, again with a fast paced second section. The shell catching coin/blocks bit is great. By now, you get the idea. This one is worth it just for the well timed ending. Always end on a joke.

it's like the movie Baby's Day Out, only entertaining and not stupid... god why do i even remember of that movie!
Awesome.
Ebert, watch this and tell me games are not art. Tell me you did not feel fear, amusement, and sense of total victory over the course of this two minute vid.
Tell this and you lie Ebert.
YOU LIE
This is EPIC
Nice.
This is total win. Some epic level building going on there, although I'm not so sure about the wacky sliding physics happening, but I'll assume it's just icy.
Excellent find. These videos are truly amazing...
*applauds*
Wow... Awesome find!
nice find!
@bmaupin: nope, SMW was always a slidey game. sometimes annoying untill you get used to it!
Has this person discovered the definition of hardcore gaming? A game so hardcore, it plays itself?
wow...just wow
So you're telling me that the player had to do absolutely nothing in that first video? Unfuckingreal.
oOo I saw this when it first appeared on the Cblogs. Im suprised it took so long for it to get on FP if it was going to get there.
that was too kool for school
@Tron Knotts
Your post is full of loss. Completely set up recording with no concurrent human input of what is happening on screen =/= video game. You just watched a movie.
Man, that was awesome
I'm as happy as a little girl! > >
@Neonie: I'm the one in charge of clog promotions, so it might slip by me from time to time. I'm working on a more refined system to keep me in the loop with what should be promoted.
I saw one of these videos that was in the level with the chainsaws on ropes that come after you, it was pretty intense. These are just awesome, makes me look like a chump at the game.
yoshi has the meanest moonwalk i have ever seen.
Yea dude running backwards for the win.
Wow... speechless.
these videos are disgustingly amazing. somebody deserves a blow job for this stuff.
Those were awsome, it must have taken forever to time everything!
This reminds me of the Mario 3 speed runs, except cooler.
Some people have too much time on their hands, and are simultaneously awesome.
@ Dick
Oh alright, did not know that.
Damn!
Has this caught on with any other games? Pretty wicked.
I bet the people who made these videos have a really big penis too
Those are brilliant. I don't mean this to diminish their brilliance at all, but someone clearly had way too much time on their hands. :)
I came. Alot.
they should make a level like that in the next mario game.
Yea front page!, post totally deserves it.
that was awesome!
where is this rom.. i wana do it my self :D
These "automatic" Mario World videos have been popular on Nico Nico Douga for a while now (http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E3%83%9E%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AA). Quite cool, aren't they? Stage titles are usually funny, too -- the stage in the first video is "Luigi's Grave". Also popular to kill a bunch of Yoshis (otherwise known as でっていう "Detteiu" for the sound it makes).
Mesmerizing.
...
yeah.
Yoshi is a moonwalker extraordinaire.
If you were to cross Mario and Jackie Chan, it might look something like this.
those video's and that title made my day. great find. [:
Good work on the find. Hardcore, I'm speechless.
These videos make me want to kill myself. I don't know why, exactly, but they do.
Congratulations on the title, which makes me giggle inside more and more with each passing moment.
Also, thanks for sharing, these are fun.
Clever and well-executed. :D
too much time, do something productive.
I don't think WOW covers this. Maybe WOWOWWEWAH?
Holy shit, the green shell work in that second one is nothing less than artwork.
So, hey, on the first video near the end around 00:45, when he grabs that green shell...doesn't that require the player to hold a button? Or have I lost it?
Increible!!
@brainderailment: YES! Like playing video games! ...Wait... (Kind of an odd comment for a gaming blog, wouldn't you say?)
Anyway, these are awesome! In one he makes a shell hit a series of "ON/OFF" switches in time with the music. Pretty impressive, I must say.
awesomeness. i hav to say, whoevr made these hav more patience than me
That was pretty awesome. Props for the find.
@all The Japanese have way too much time on their hands...
My pants exploded in rapturous joy.
Some japanese guy just made me have to change pants.
Beautiful work, a really inspired idea executed flawlessly and with great creativity. Great find!
I salute you.
@Salamande: Yeah, I think some button presses are implied at times in the videos. I noticed that he slides in one of them as well, which of course requires you to at least hit down once IIRC.
Whaaa?
Finally a video worth wasting my time watching!
Could mario design a level so awesome that he himself could not pass it?
Dang. That shiz is banannas. That first one blew my mind.
There's a hack of Super Mario Bros. called "Air". One of the stages was a hands-off demo like these and that caught my attention more than the regular stages did in a superplay I watched of it.
Video games are becoming more like everyday...
This is awesome. Thank you for the clips.
I'm scared
That was epic for Mario. Luigi's got shit on Mario and I think Mario deserves a little pussy after that.
thats probably the greatest thing i've seen all day.
Make sure to check out Destructoid's own Nyteshade and his attempt to win teh internets with his own auto-level!
aahhhh. y are things like this so awesome. reminds me of Rube Gilberg machines.
With the integrated video player, you can convert only the outstanding part of the video by setting up the start time and end time after preview. When you need to convert video files but have to leave the computer, there is no worry about this because EZuse <a href="http://www.mkvconverter.com">MKV(Matroska Video)Converter</a>auto shutdown function will automatically shut down your computer when the conversion is complete.
