What's cooler than Super Mario Bros. and Legos? Why, Super Mario Bros. with Legos, of course.

That's the premise behind Lego artist Zachary Pollock's "Epic Mario" project, which aims to recreate the entire Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. using one Lego block at a time.

At one brick per pixel, Pollock's project is expected to come in at around six feet tall and 90 feet wide once completed. He also estimates that he's going to need "just over 780,000 Lego studs" and some significant coinage -- to the tune of $26,400.

There is a cool video at the source link that explains the whole process, it sounds pretty awesome. (I can't embed the video. sorry.)

Awesome! Only problem is, there's no link to the kickstarter page! Won't help him get funded much! I'd love to see the end result of this, it should be epic!

This shall be epic. Any idea on how long it will take.

That price is huge for just one project. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I hope he's able to do this. This will be the epicest of the epics! It would be insane if he involved PF and made Mario scroll down the level and jump periodically.

If you click the picture it's a link to engadget, you can then find the link to kickstarter there, I didn't want to promote that here, just show the cool idea.
