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
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.
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.
it's a popular thing on youtube now to have a dumbass OC of yourself randomly pop up on screen for no reason other than to take up screen space it's self serving and cringy but its The Thing™

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.
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.
@@KushGupta1 That's just 1 GPU? Man, now I feel even more spoiled thinking back to when I was doing molecular dynamics stuff and got allocated time to several super-computers which were basically entire rooms of stacked GPUs.
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.
Bro, I LOVE your humor! had me dying laughing on the shuttle ride to school :D look at me funny, yes, but ur missing out on this sweet drugs, I mean funny youtube vids :D
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!!

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

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
