Mosaic- Mario Takes to the Sky

[CorneliusMurdock]

Basically a pixel to stud conversion of Raccoon Suit Mario (My 5-year-old daughter calls it his "Tigger Suit").

I have a presentation at a local libraray this week and I thought introducing the kids to mosaics might be a good activity considering all the library has is basic bricks. Then I realized that I'd never done one myself and thought I had to remedy that. I needed to show an example after all, right?

I have a great fondness for Super Mario 3. It was one of the first games that I ever beat on my own and I remember several snow days where my sisters and I had marathon gaming sessions. I still play it on occasion on my old NES when a fit of nostalgia takes me. It holds up surprisingly well.

A classic, made out of classic bricks! ...or plates...

Pixelorientated lego mosaics make perfect usericons! :)

Great work! Now...to animate it. You'll just need to do 16 more of these.

Nice! I always have liked Lego "pixel-art".

Pretty cool how it defines a couples aspects of my youth - Mario 3 and Legos. I have a great fondness for Mario 3 and clocked more hours playing that then any other NES game. I even remember scouring the guidebook for tips and tricks to get everything in the game covered and of course, powering through the game every level, marathon style.

I think this looks amazing. Very well done!
