Infinite Mario With Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment

http://slashdot.org/palm/10/10/09/08/055245_1.shtml
I recently decided to play through the All-Stars version of SMB 3 without using any Warp Whistles. SMB 3's playful title screen has Mario & Luigi messing around with a bunch of enemies and powerups. The sequence is fun to watch, but it also serves as a great preview of numerous game mechanics. I suspect that the majority of people who replay the game are familiar with the secret and use it to skip to the last world. This also means zooming past a plethora of well designed levels. http://www.significant-bits.com/super-mario-bros-3-level-design-lessons
