No - I actually didn't use a random start. But when Mario dies far enough along in a level, he starts from near that point rather than from all the way back at the beginning, which kind of serves that purpose. I agree that what's most interesting is truly learning to generalize rather than just learning a sequence of moves that happen to work...
