Neuroevolution Can Play Super Mario Better Than Any Human

A project called NeuroMario, published by the Neuroevolution lab, demonstrates a population of tiny neural networks learning to play a platformer through neuroevolution, with no training data and selection driven purely by survival of the fittest. The implementation runs in pure JavaScript with no dependencies and includes a live 3D network view and a mode letting users race the evolved champion. The project is available on GitHub with accompanying documentation.
