That is just way too good. How long did this take you?

All together about 17 hours for drawing coloring the "sprites" and 5 hours to put it all together.

You should make it continuous (with all the levels leading into one another) and make it wrap around the entire room. Would be a cool project.

I am really thinking about it. I want to make a wall boarder out of it. I keep looking at it going "Dude. Did I really freaking do that? Damn, I need friends..."

But the area two map may prove to be difficult. What with it's grassy goodness. But I could try other areas too I suppose.

I remember seeing this, it is still amazing. Turn your wall into the entire SMB3 world.

I see what you did there.

Anyway, that thing is massive.

30 centimetres? I thought the US used Metric measurements.
And the map is very impressive.

It was a joke, hence the "</most americans>" bit. And no, the US still uses Imperial measurements.

Only in science does America regularly use metric.

I used .1x.1cm graph paper. Very very tiny squares and did all the "sprites" pixel by pixel. It's not hard at all, it just takes a lot of patience. And color pencils/markers/crayons, even paint if you're up for it. I wanted to put a nintendo-themed boarder up in my room but didn't want to pay the money for it so I just made it myself. Also used double sided tape to temporarily stick the sprites to the paper. As of right now though, some of it is already peeling off, so I'll need to glue it back on.

This site has all the maps. The enemies I had to do myself by going through the game. I'm sure there's a sprite map somewhere but I couldn't find it at the time.

Edit: Also 12inches in 30cm. If that helps anyone.
