Is it possible to beat New Super Mario Bros. Without Pressing LEFT?

Playing Mario is all about controlling your momentum and your jumps. To do so, you push the D-Pad. But what if we took the left button out of the picture? Can we beat an entire Mario game doing that? After watching this video, you'll have the answer to the following question : Is it possible to beat New Super Mario Bros. Without Pressing LEFT?
