If you are interested in reading more about the last year's (2010) Level Generation track of the Mario AI Competition, please send an e-mail to Noor Shaker and she will send you a draft version of the paper. The paper is under review and therefore can't be listed here yet! The paper also describes the submissions to the competition and is co-authored by the competitors of the competition.
There following paper, which describes experiments with evolving neural networks to play Mario as implemented in the 2009 competition software:
