The original Mario made out of Rubik’s cubes.  No stick swapping, no pulling them apart.  100% all legit.  The first attempt was 1 pixel to the left and the colours were wrong.  I had to start all over again.  Second attempt complete, I set it up next to my Game On book (and what an awesome exhibition that was) at which point I realised the background, originally white, should be blue.  Many tedius turns later, tada!

But that was not the end.  The reaction from the people who have seen it has been nothing short of remarkable.  I now have 7 more on backorder which I will start making as soon as I get the 245 Rubik’s cubes to make it.
