I've created the dumbest bots of all time and put them to the test by seeing who can survive the longest in 10 rounds of Mario and Sonic games.

The bots are controlled by a program I made that feeds them completely random inputs with no logic.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ About j0rts ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hi there! I'm j0rts (Ben), and I like to explore mostly pointless things in video games while playing them in weird, unconventional ways.

Despite my name, this channel has nothing to do with jorts. In fact, I've never even worn a pair of jorts in my life. I just find the word fun to say... j o r t s.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to check out my channel. If you'd like to hang out with me live, be sure to visit my Twitch channel over at www.twitch.tv/j0rts

    For those who are wondering, the bots are controlled by a program I made that just feeds them completely random inputs with no logic.
  • As someone who has no coding experience. I think it would be interesting to run AIs through each Mario and Sonic game until they became competent at them. Then, have them switch and swe who can survive the longest in each other's games.

    The health system was the main reason for this. Mario is usually one hit from death in 2D unless he finds a mushroom, which is basically impossible for a bot like this, whereas Sonic needs rings, which are literally everywhere. This means in 2D Sonic has a huge advantage. However in 3D Mario has a health bar instead while Sonic still relies on rings, so Mario has an advantage.

    After Mario touched every element he could imagine, he finally got bored and decided to dumb down and let a bot control him for the day.
  • 2:16 'Which tails Proceeded to kill on sight.' Can we agree if there was an animated version tails would probably Shoot it with a rifle?
  • @iggykidd
    This kind of thing ends up showing more how treacherous the level design is than anything
  • @Zee_Scratcher
    If this video goes viral sega + Nintendo will both milk the heck out of the Olympic series
  • How the crap did a bot with seemingly random inputs perform a wall clip?
  • Truly a testament to the inexorable drift towards imminent self-destruction that all mortals trifle with throughout their existence, and it doesn't matter whether you are an Italian plumber or a blue hedgehog entity, in the end, it waits for us all equally.

    I'm looking forward to being a spectator for the 2008 Beijing Olympics

    when random inputs can kill an enemy and clip out of bounds
  • @maker0824
    I really wish these bots had two separate sets of random inputs running. One for directional inputs, and one for the face buttons
