AI Learns to Speedrun Mario 

"For every second Mario stays alive, he receives negative punishment" 💀

5:58 I actually think you go faster with a backwards jump. Granted, it only saves a few miliseconds, but it counts that the AI knows how and to do it.

The best way to train an AI on a game is to not do the same level over and over again. Or the AI will be godlike at one single level and just very bad at others. If you diversify the training process il will take longer but the AI will be way better. Try doing this and then putting the AI on a level it has never seen before and you'll be surprised by how quick it learns it!

Next you should try to make an AI beat FNAF. (Even though someone probably already did that.)

this kind of content is so entertaining, if you continue to make video game content like this I will absolutely support you!

6:00 i don't know the exact reason but due to a quirk with the physics mario actually accelerates faster backwards, TAS speedruns will also use backwards jumps to reach top speed as fast as possible.

You would be surprised how much theory goes into SMB1 speedruns at the top level. People will literally spend thousands of hours on improving by a few milliseconds, that is how optimized the game is at this point.

Content like this is simply amazing, I just know you're about to blow up soon! Happy to be an early viewer to a massively underrated channel!

You might only have 190 subscribers but this content is one of a kind. Keep making videos!

6:20 Speedrunners: we must save this 0,35s framerule somehow AI: I'm 15s away from the record, 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 :𝘿 jk, obv great video and great work, but it made me laugh lol

Your editing and commentary is really good. I'm surprised you only have 1 video, good quality like this usually takes youtubers a lot longer to achieve.

After the AI masters SMB1 I would like to see it attempt the lost levels, it's much harder so I wonder how the AI would figure out how to get past some of the harder parts, specifically ones where hidden blocks are required to progress, or how to use the wind to do longer jumps. Since SMB1 and the lost levels have the same physics the same AI could probably be used. I subscribed to see your next uploads! :)

this was great i really hope part 2 comes out soon

Bro learned the AI how to go the fastest, but forgot the pipe in 1-1

Amazing video, the animations and commentary is very nice. I thought that you must have millions of subscribers and was shocked to see 3K. I guess this shows how high the bar has been set in order to go viral on RU-vid.

That is *amazing!* For sure want to see second video about this

6:24 This is why money should be outlawed, and I am ashamed that you wouldn’t even TRY to steal. How would training an AI even COST money?!?! *HOW are you even putting UP with that?!?!*

First video, doing very good. Nice job man! 73k views and 1,55k subs are really good for only a first video. You got this!

Gonna check back for part two cuz this is 🔥

I’m excited to see part 2, but more excited to see what direction your channel takes. Great start!

this seems to be your one and only video, I will watch your career with great interest. Definitely earned a subscribe from me.

I'm really hyped for part 2, keep it up :)

I think a fun game for the AI to speedrun would be a game like Wario Land 4 or pizza tower, as they are really fast paced and I want to see how the AI works in fast situations.

The entertainment factor of this video left me flabbergasted when I discovered you only have one video! I can't believe it. When can we expect part 2?

I actually enjoyed this keep the good work and i hope you become more famous in the future :)

Wow. Excellent first video. Now subscribed. Waiting for part 2 😊

Some thing you should probably do are: 1) have more poses for your character 2) get him out of the way of the screen while showing off what You did (if you are so scared someone is going to steal your content just put something half trasparent on the vidioso it so be as much in the way)

Okay you got my sub. I look forward to part 2 ;)

my man made the smart idea of making the channel with experience

This is like Mark Rober "I may suck at Mario, but im really good at coding (mark=engineering), so im actually *really* good at Mario

You: says one dash two Me; Punches you in the face until you don't say punctuation

"ill have to make the whole game, from scratch." *proceeds to open unity* what about ScartcH

This video was very good. Any chance we'll see part 2?

Waiting for part 2 this was awesome 😎❤

i loved it also what is that one music that’s amazing that isn’t metal mario

I agree with the sentiment of victory.

Great job. Looking forward to more (:

where part 2, I'm invested now

How do my guy not know about the shortcuts? I know not everyone is a big fan of mario games but the pipes and going down them, is literally a staple of pop culture and gaming culture itself

Hi Kush! Do you have a link to your GitHub repository that you can share?

damn your pretty underrated! hope ya get popular in the future :D

damn i love your video. definitely gonna stick around to see how it goes

bro this is ur1st video!? pls keep up this quality of editing its really good

Bro really didnt know about the 1-1 underground bonus area💀💀

I love this content, keep it up!

awesome video! Can’t wait for part 2

I checked your channel and this is your first video?! I've never seen a channel blow up so fast! Be warned though, you'd better follow up on a sequel or they might all leave. Don't waste this wonderful chance you have.

BROOO THIS IS A REALLY GOOD NEW CHANNEL

Friendly reminder AI is still not taking over

nice video and cant wait for part 2!!

“This is the world’s fastest Super Mario Bros. Speedrun” That is 18 minutes

Part 2 Please

0:22 - you didn't die to the same goomba, you died to the other one.

after 4 months... im still waiting for part 2

i like this content your a great youtuber im exited for a pt 2

Brooo we need part 2!

i love that ai so much and the music in the background motivates me to make ssomething like this so please tell me waht music u used

Highly underrated! Nice work.👍

ooo subbed. this is very underrated

Yo just binged watched all your videos

amazing content for your first vid! keep going remember me when u hit 1m subs

Nice, bro! Wtg! Amazing. Preferred your AI for style points, too.

please make part two so you can try to beat the entire game

4:17 this is Kirby music

Remember us when this channel gets famous

Pls make part 2 I watched this the 3rd time

We need part 2?!?! Great video 🎉

Alternative title: Teaching an AI to end the suffering as fast as possible

Do this with celeste. I know it has been done before, but it would be really cool to see the AI progress.

Ok you got me. I subscribed. For only having one video on your channel, it's a pretty cool one. I do hope the 4 month gap isn't a sign of things to come, but rather just shows how hard you're working on the next cool video ^_^ Also an idea - I just want to see this ai finish the entire game with the actual speedrun record. I know it may hard though, and it's ok to post other videos before you get to that one. Focusing on one project too long and spinning your wheels can be worse than just jumping to something else for a bit. Also I'd love to see an AI speedrun Ocarina of Time and see if it finds the glitched out shortcuts. Let it put in those inputs faster than a human ever could. I understand this is a massive challenge though, so maybe just the first dungeon would be ok :)

Very good video, hope to see more in the future😊

late viewer, but i really love these types of AI learning videos, keep goin man :D

pretty cool man im waiting for part 2

you know what ima sub u at 6.16k as im doing so wonder if that'll be something cool soon

good job for your first vid! +1 sub

Masked Dedede theme sounds so badass. Shows it really has trained.

And so a new Code Bullet has appeared except a lot less chaotic.

its been FOUR MONTHS AND WE NEED A PART 2

Alt title: pavloving mario until he gets a wr
