[TAS] Super Mario World "Arbitrary Code Execution" in 02:25.19 by Masterjun

Somewhat disappointed. I was expecting them to use the well-known arbitrary code execution exploit in this game to load their own implementation of FizzBuzz, cf. ▶ this video The method used by Masterjun3 is TAS-only (it involves executing the contents of the controller registers as code, which requires frame-precise inputs), but there are some other methods which are more viable for a real-time attack.

That's wild because Super Mario Bros contains a built-in code editor (via arbitrary code execution easter eggs), and Nintendo is OK with that. ▶ this video

▶ this video Video is about exploiting Super Mario world, on SNES. The result is that the exploiter then proceeds to make 2 new games inside SMW: Pong and Snake. Those games don't exist inside SMW. They were uploaded using controller inputs. All it takes is 1 hack.

One of the most brilliant applications of this concept is the Pokémon Yellow Total Control Hack: link Similarly, arbitrary code execution in Super Mario World: ▶ this video It's like transforming a chess game into Mikado just by playing it.

He's pointing out that although this type of thing has already been done before by automated inputs (such as this video ▶ this video ), this is the first time a human has done it.

Similar deal with super mario world, using programmed controllers to poke arbitrary code into memory and execute it. ▶ this video
