Independently, the video went viral in Japan
This doesn't surprise me; Japan has a long internet tradition of Mario-related hacks. One example is the "automatic Mario" videos, specially-crafted Mario levels that are set up such that they will complete automatically if Mario moves continually to the right, and the sounds created will match the background music. A particularly impressive example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0ib4GxLPw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0ib4GxLPw
- harpastum 17y agoThat video of "automatic mario" is absolutely amazing. It boggles my mind just thinking about how much time that must have taken. And to anyone who didn't check out that link, it's definitely worth watching. If you're not interested in the whole thing (eleven minutes) I recommend starting right at 8:00.

- req2 17y agoThe N game has similar creations, but none approach this level of artistry. Mario seems like a good target for 'variant' games. http://kotaku.com/5161778/japanese-gamers-invent-new-way-to-play-super-mario-64 http://kotaku.com/5161778/japanese-gamers-invent-new-way-to-... has been a favorite of mine.
