World First: Reinforcement Learning: Super Mario Bros. All Stars on physical console with cartridge!
As per multiple searches, no one has ever connected a physical console to the computer and completed a Super Mario Bros.™ level.
There are plenty of examples with OpenAI's Gym code set, however those examples did not use a physical console, nor did they use a physical cartridge.
On November 11th 2025, episode 1034 completed Super Mario Bros. All-Stars™ version, level 1-1 on a physical console (Retron5) with a physical cartridge of Super Mario Bros. All Stars for the Super Nintendo.
While numerous searches for this type of experiment has not found any other examples of this, I wanted to document it so that we can say definitively:
Super Mario Bros. All-Stars™ version for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™, has had level 1-1 cleared without memory access, using a physical cartridge with optical capabilities that emulate the human more then the game.
This was completed exclusively as if a human was playing the game.
In other words, It read the screen and pushed buttons.
