Super Mario World: Arbitrary Code Injection At AGDQ 2014, Performed Live
invalidation

A live performance at AGDQ 2014 in which Super Mario World is made to execute arbitrary injected code, running other games like Pong and Snake on the cartridge. It is done through a TASBot feeding precise controller inputs.
Used as the canonical example of arbitrary code execution through nothing but controller input, often in talks about speedrunning and exploits.
