That looks like an useless backwards jump tho as the AI did not go over the pipe and keep momentum, instead just landed on the floor and kissed the pipe
That probably is why the AI does it, because you do accelerate faster this way if you aren't already at max speed. The AI is wasting a lot of time by jumping too high though, because it's not very good at it. The thing is that it is hitting the walking speed cap in midair, and it can't accelerate to running speed until it hits the ground while holding B. But it doesn't understand that yet. It's a lot easier to just figure out that jumping backwards is faster, at least briefly. Of course, it didn't matter in this run because it bonked anyway, but surely it didn't always bonk while training.
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!
You’re right! I was trying to train the AI on the whole game but due to that 1 bug at the very end it wasn’t working out so I switched to training level by level!
And....what was this bug? If I could program myself, I wouldn't watch other people do it. It's like making the whole video in English and then an erratum at the end in Mandarin.@@KushGupta1
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.
with backwards jumps (the smb speedrunning community calls it fast accels) it's only applicable in tases since it requires you to press both left and right in the same frame, something that physically can't apply in rta runs because of the d-pad, even then the backwards jump the ai did there wastes time as it's walking speed
@@arfansthename Nah, pressing left+right is only required for the fastest possible execution of a fast acceleration. Even without left+right, if you do a fast accel frame-perfectly you'll be slightly faster.
Yeah he needs to continue at it. It's been few months already and he only has one video on his site. I have seen others doing this on UA-cam as well with Pokemon and stuff. So the competition is there for sure. I do agree though that content like this is going to blow up soon as it already seems like it is.

@@railpwn1268 I agree that it's cringe, but intentionally (or not, who knows) ignoring the actual purpose of doing something in favor of boiling it down to something insignificant does not make you appear more correct. It just makes you look retarded.
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.
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! :)
Thanks for the support! Thats a good idea. I’m to add it to the list. The same AI couldn’t really be used, since I’d still have to train it on the level which costs money because I have to rent a very powerful but expensive gpu. Nevertheless, I’m going to try that in the future for sure!!
@@KushGupta1 How much processing power does it need? I'm running some Learnfun/Playfun, but that is entirely CPU based. Got an RTX 4090 on an AMD 7950X3D.
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 UA-cam.
New youtube trick- skip the first 3/4 of every video, and you don't have to deal with any rambling preamble, channel description, begging for subs, AND you'll know instantly if they're even going to talk about what was proposed in the title. BTW this channel passes the test. Good job. You actually did what you said in the title, unlike 99% of youtube videos. I didn't need the vast majority of the explanation before hand though.
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.
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)
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.
This is so funny and kind of interesting. Makes me think if how you talked about Mario (as a joke) that people in the past (or present etc) have talked about hering humans!
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 :)
0:21 You actually died to a DIFFERENT goomba. But thanks for not being greedy and sharing your misery equally among the goombas, for they are still residents of the mushroom kingdom, afterall!

0:33 "This video, I literally won't stop coding until I make an AI that beats the game." So that was a total lie.
1:22 is when the ai is born and took 6mins and 44secs to get a record, scary.
Well, it only took 2,100 tries.
The AI wasn’t training the whole vid, Kush even explicitly said he trained it for thirty minutes beforehand at 3:45
@@You-are-definitely-right-but oof I forgot that lol (like your name lmao)
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.
That looks like an useless backwards jump tho as the AI did not go over the pipe and keep momentum, instead just landed on the floor and kissed the pipe
This is a trick called fast acceleration. The AI didn't really do this since he hit the pipe right after.
backwards jumping indeed make the player slightly faster
That probably is why the AI does it, because you do accelerate faster this way if you aren't already at max speed.

seemed like it knew where the plants hitboxes were too. as it skid over the op of one by mere pixels during its world record run
