Super Mario New York City Subway Map: Underworld 1-1

A couple of years ago we saw a map of New York City done in the style of Super Mario World. Here’s a great complement to that map, a chart of the Big Apple’s subway depicted in the same style by Robert Bacon. What’s up with Staten Island?

Here’s the official map of the subway for comparison:

Watch the video to get a closer look at the map:

Robert also made a Super Mario Bros. 3 version of the map, which is a tad easier on the eyes.

Enhance!

You can order both maps from Bacon’s shop on Ript Apparel for $25 (USD) each. He also has Mario-themed maps of Chicago on there.

Mario on Yoshi: Yoshi’s Theme is Now Playing in Your Head

Posted in: Today's Chili

Who can forget Mario’s lovable and dependable green sidekick? Sorry Luigi, we’re still not talking about you. I’m talking about Yoshi, the omnivorous, egg-laying, ground stomping, tongue swinging dinosaur. Jacob Ashley immortalizes a familiar sight in many a gamer’s mind with this wood and acrylic piece.

Ashley made the pixel art sculpture out of pine, acrylic and epoxy. He then hand painted it to make the two heroes look like they burst out of a TV in 1990.

You can buy the sculpture at Yetee Gallery for $400 (USD), which is incidentally is also how much an original copy of Super Mario World costs today.
