Four-Story Pixellated Mario Mural

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

MasterPlaid writes "A group of anonymous cowards (eningeers) 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 wondeful pixellated goodness we expect from Super Mario. The idea for this mural seems to have originated in the Strong Bad email of the same name."

  4. The inspiration: by Kane+Skalter · · Score: 5, Informative

    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!

    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:

    "A group of anonymous cowards (eningeers) has apparently constructed a four story mural of scenes from the SNES Super Mario games. The best part is, they did the whole thing out of Post-It Notes, recreating the wondeful pixellated goodness we expect from Super Mario.

    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?
