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.)
