This is a video of it running on a console, though I'm uncertain how the inputs were provided

Behold the TASbot

https://tasvideos.org/TASBot

> TASBot is best described as a special R.O.B. robot outfitted with Legos to hold a custom circuit board that can exactly mimic the behavior of a video game controller. TASBot can play games on real video game consoles with superhuman abilities, usually leading to game breaking glitches in front of live audiences.

Usually TASes use a modified controller with wires hooked up directly to the controller's circuit board.
Wouldn’t be much of a tool-assisted speedrun if it wasn’t using any tools, would it? :-)
