Automatic Mario - Kumikyoku is one of those weird, hypnotic SNES romhacks where Mario just... runs. No buttons, no jumps—he sprints through a bizarre remix of classic levels while the game throws every enemy, power-up, and glitchy trick at him. It's like watching a Mario-themed Rube Goldberg machine set to chaotic chip-tune music.

First time I played, I thought it was broken—until I realized the whole point is to sit back and watch the madness unfold. Koopas bounce off springs, firebars spin in impossible patterns, and sometimes Mario just phases through walls like the laws of physics took a coffee break. The longer you watch, the more you notice little details, like how the music shifts when he grabs a star or how certain sections loop in weirdly satisfying ways.

It’s short, surreal, and feels like someone dumped the entire Mario universe into a blender. Perfect for when you want something completely different from a normal platformer.
