 : This is a Dr. Mario AI. It cheats a little bit: it doesn't actually move the pills, just magically modifies memory for them to be in the right place. But working out where to put the pills is the hard part anyway; actually working out how to get them there is fairly straightforward, so it's addressed the interesting part.

 : This is a ROM patcher for the SNES version of the game. It lets you pick a specific seed, and modify a ROM to always start from that seed. For example, if you wanted to race somebody else, and be sure you both got the same virus layout and pill sequence, you could pick a random number and use this to get a fair comparison. It is now deprecated; instead, use the [[ROM Hacks#SNES|ROM hack]] that lets you choose the seed in-game.
