&lt;p class='desc'&gt;

Automatic Mario videos are game-play footage of customized MOD levels from Nintendo&amp;#8217;s classic franchise Super Mario World. Usually created by fans using Super Mario ROM editors, gameplay in Auto-Mario MODs is seamlessly prearranged by the design of each level and rarely requires input from the player. However, there are other types of Super Mario MOD levels that can be played manually. In short, they&amp;#8217;re fan-made videos created for the sake of entertainment, sometimes accompanied by anime music that synchs up with the sound effects in the game (see below for examples).



	The earliest example of Automatic Mario on YouTube can be traced back to 2007, titled &amp;quot;Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 March of the Minis! Custom-made Stage: Little Mini Mario (&#12510;&#12522;&#12458;VS&#12489;&#12531;&#12461;&#12540;&#12467;&#12531;&#12464;&#65298;&#12288;&#12511;&#12491;&#12511;&#12491;&#22823;&#34892;&#36914;&#65281;&#12288;&#33258;&#20316;&#12473;&#12486;&#12540;&#12472;: &#12376;&#12393;&#12358;&#12511;&#12491;&#12510;&#12522;&#12458;) and uploaded by a user named sonomamario. The video shows Mini-Mario (a toy version of Mario featured in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2) moving across the stage and completing the level with the aid of various tools and barriers alone.



	While NND&amp;#8217;s wiki entry gives credit to fan bases overseas for development of early Super Mario MODs, Auto-Mario videos became immensely popular on Nico Nico Douga. The earliest version of Auto-Mario debuted on NND on June 9, 2007 and its populary peaked during early 2008.


There are other variations of Auto-Mario, including Hold-B jump mode or synchronized with music using Auto-Mario Sequencer. *[NEED VIDEOS]

To many NND users&amp;#8217; dismay, majority of Mario-related content were bulk-deleted on account of copyright infringement in May 2008. This incident became known as &amp;#8220;Auto-Mario Wipeout&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;X Day&amp;#8221; among NND users who protested this decision. But as it is often the case with other video-sharing communities, most of these videos have been restored by other users since then.

Soon after the initial uploads, many videos came to follow it on Nico Nico Douga and Youtube.

	&lt;li&gt;The earliest example of Automatic Mario on YouTube can be traced back to 2007, titled &amp;quot;Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 March of the Minis! Custom-made Stage: Little Mini Mario (&#12510;&#12522;&#12458;VS&#12489;&#12531;&#12461;&#12540;&#12467;&#12531;&#12464;&#65298;&#12288;&#12511;&#12491;&#12511;&#12491;&#22823;&#34892;&#36914;&#65281;&#12288;&#33258;&#20316;&#12473;&#12486;&#12540;&#12472;: &#12376;&#12393;&#12358;&#12511;&#12491;&#12510;&#12522;&#12458;) and uploaded by a user named &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/user/sonomamario&quot;&gt;sonomamario&lt;/a&gt;. The video shows Mini-Mario (a toy version of Mario featured in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_vs_Donkey_Kong_2&quot;&gt;Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2&lt;/a&gt;) moving across the stage and completing the level with the aid of various tools and barriers alone.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;While NND&amp;#8217;s wiki entry gives credit to fan bases overseas for development of early Super Mario MODs, Auto-Mario videos became immensely popular on Nico Nico Douga. The earliest version of Auto-Mario debuted on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NND&lt;/span&gt; on June 9, 2007 and its populary peaked during early 2008.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Derivatives&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are other variations of Auto-Mario, including Hold-B jump mode or synchronized with music using Auto-Mario Sequencer. *[&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NEED&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIDEOS&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;May 13, 2008: X-Day on Nico Nico Douga&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To many &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NND&lt;/span&gt; users&amp;#8217; dismay, majority of Mario-related content were bulk-deleted on account of copyright infringement in May 2008. This incident became known as &amp;#8220;Auto-Mario Wipeout&amp;#8221; or &amp;#8220;X Day&amp;#8221; among &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NND&lt;/span&gt; users who protested this decision. But as it is often the case with other video-sharing communities, most of these videos have been restored by other users since then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Pre-music Synchronization&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soon after the initial uploads, many videos came to follow it on Nico Nico Douga and Youtube.&lt;/p&gt;
