As if corrupted SMW levels and randomly-generated semi-coherent text weren't amusing enough on their own, now they're combined into one thing: the Super Mario World Randomizer!
The level names kind of remind me of a vague idea I had for a LJ meme several years ago, after I found out about the LJ Dungeon Adventure and LJ Space Adventure memes; I thought it might be cool if someone made some sort of "LJ Mario Adventure" where you put in a LJ username and it would generate a series of Mario levels at random that had something to do with that user's interest list.
(Though I never did anything with this idea because "something" was the key word here; the dungeon and space adventures can say "Bones are scattered in the shape of <arbitrary LJ interest>" or "You hear the sound of <arbitrary LJ interest> echoing through the ventilation shafts" and leave that up to the imagination, but making a randomized Mario game like that would require making a way for it to come up with what an <arbitrary LJ interest> Shell or <arbitrary LJ interest> Mushroom or whatever would look like and do based just on the name. Or, come to think of it, I guess it could work with only the level names having LJ interests in them. Enya Challenge anyone? [And yes, that entry I linked to is unfortunately a VERY accurate representation of my writing style 7 years ago. That's why I want to make my own dream journal someday...])
Okay, if the whole reason I posted this was to show you the video, maybe I should stop rambling so much about a vaguely similar idea I thought of five years ago and never did anything with or even mentioned until now.
Share the pepperoni secret!

There's a lot of smiley faces in this comment. :)

I like how both of the videos I've seen of the SMW Randomizer just happen to include variations of Donut Plains 4 - the level I put Enya into in this age-old userpic. :)

As much as it would not surprise me if they didn't work anymore because a LOT of sites that used to work don't anymore, the LJ Dungeon adventure worked for me just now...
I died in the Dungeon of Matt1993
I was killed in a brightly-lit storage room by Forgetmenotcj the gelatinous cube, whilst carrying...
the Shield of Flamingsheeppoo, a Figurine of Skyrabbit, the Sword of Unowncafe, the Crown of Charss, a Figurine of Hoyland54, the Dagger of Mystic Dreamer and 67 gold pieces.
Score: 121

The Space Adventure also came up for me and looks normal so far but I have yet to play it to see if it actually works. It probably does, though.
*goes back to that tab to try to play it*
In this one, I took a teleporter that led to a room that only had an exit to the east, and then that room only had an exit to the west - back the way I came, so I got stuck. But I think that was already possible in the dungeon and space adventures, so that means the space adventure still works!
I escaped from the Starship Matt1993!
I killed Eccentricrabbit the nutrivend drinks machine and Adreams Teller the cleaning droid.
I salvaged an AN-BHEAN-AIRGID-30 plasma rifle, a Shyjamesian raygun, a BANDIT forcefield generator and 26 galacticredits.
Score: 101
