It isn't actually SMW, but an open-source program made to resemble the behavior SMW using sprites from the original game. Unless you can get your hands on the source code to SMB3, doing something like this would be a whole lot harder. That goddamn game kicked my ass all the time as a kid, too. You might like this, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQlGM6gcBeE It's a tool-assisted speedrun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_assisted_speedrun) of SMB3. No, that wouldn’t work.

I am holding a lifetime long personal grudge against that game and with this new tool, its like seeing your junior high school bully cry!

I love how there's a procedural SMW map generator AND an AI designed to beat it. AI vs AI in a no-holds-barred steel cage match to decide the future of the Singularity. Dude, that is so rad.
