SNES Code Injection -- Flappy Bird in SMW
SethBling
SethBling uses Super Mario World glitches to inject and run Flappy Bird code on an unmodified SNES, entering it purely with controller inputs. It was the first time a human completed this kind of exploit by hand.
Constantly cited as the canonical example of arbitrary code execution through gameplay and of deep system knowledge among speedrunners.
