Four-Story Pixellated Mario Mural

It wasn't directly inspired by the Strong Bad Email, but rather inspired by a post-it mural in turn inspired by SB. Here's the Post-it Trogdor!
Black Post-its® really do exist!
Black postits can be written on by certain gel pens and outliner pens. Makes for a neat effect. I like to use them to give out XP in sci-fi RPGs.
That's funny, but...
There are no barrels in this pic. There are no
falling barrels in the game from which this
pic is taken. You're thinking of Donky Kong,
which was the first game Mario appeared in.
This scene is from the origional Super Mario
Bros. I'm a very long time fan/addict of SMB.
I don't remember any SMB game with falling
barrels anywhere in it.
The falling object in this scene is a
Sharpea. Sharpea is a little fella that
hits the ground and walks back and
forth until you kill him, he kills you,
or he falls off a cliff. Sharpea is a small
creature with a spiked shell. Please don't
insult Sharpea by calling him a barrel.
The guy (some say turtle, but I'm not so sure)
that flies back and forth throwing Sharpeas
at you is called Lakipea. Damnit, I forgot my
informative tag and my nit-pick tag.
Still, your post was funny and I'd mod it as
such had I mod points.
If you can't just be yourself, then be more like me, ok?
Upon further reading, I see that it was inspired by the MIT hack. Also, I nominate this story for the "most error-filled /. post" award:

How about this instead:
"A group of anonymous cowards (engineers) has apparently constructed a four story mural of scenes from the NES Super Mario games. The best part is, they did the whole thing out of Post-It Notes, recreating the wonderful pixellated goodness we expect from Super Mario. The idea for this mural seems to have originated from the Strong Bad email-based MIT hack
What do the Slashdot "editors" do, again?
You probably shouldn't click this.
Greetings from eighty-column display land! ( Btw, the spiny throwing guy is "Lakitu", if I remember correctly. )
One god, one market, one truth, one consumer.
I stand corrected. Lakipea does in fact throw sharpeas like I said, but this picture was actually a Lakitu like you said. Actually though, Lakitu's throw Spiny Eggs, not Spineys. Spiny Eggs turn into Spinys when they hit the ground, but they're just eggs when Lakitu throws them. Lakipea on the other hand throws Sharpeas, not Sharpea Eggs. There are no Sharpea Eggs AFAIK. Anyway, you were correct that the pic in question is in fact a Lakitu, not a Lakipea.
