Woah... So this guy rigged up one input to work on 4 emulator instances at once, and then through a series of "save states" managed to fine one series of controller inputs that would beat all 4 of the NES Mario games without Mario dying.
Apparently this guy is Japanese, so it's odd that he's playing the US version of SMB2 instead of "Super Mario USA" (Our SMB2 when it was finally released in Japan) and, come to think of it, that's the US version of SMB3 as well. Huh...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
