A dedicated Super Mario Bros 3 fan from Norway has recreated the Super Mario Bros 3 map entirely out of yarn. The epic feat took the man six years to fully complete the World 1 map from the iconic video game. Kjetil Nordin, who is 31, says that it is “very emotional, fun and weird to have finished. It has taken such a long time.” You can check out plenty of images of the masterpiece, right here.
“The hardest thing has been to accept that it took such a long time. I’ve spent 800 hours crocheting and many hours researching and searching for the correct yarn.
“When the water was half way finished I saw that I had chosen the wrong shade of blue. It was almost purple, and very ugly, so I had to undo all of it. That took an extra week.”
Thanks, Thomas
Amazing!
Also, Norway ftw.
what intrigues me is the toilet paper roll by the computer
He must be using it for dust removal. lol
So the Wii U? Ahh that makes a lot more sense.
Normally, that would annoy me. But since even Nintendo is now ditching it, it sadly fits more than ever. :/ Thanks a lot, Nintendo, for ruining what little respect I did have for the Wii U.
:(
Awwwww…!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Lol my mom would have a roll her nose if she ran out of tissues..
Wow, just wow
Forget Norway…
Come to Kenya!
That hell hole? No thanks.
>>>Someone give this warrior a medal at once>>>
it looks amazing i want one XD
Cool. 6 Years is a long time. Good patience…
Awesome!
Congrats! He’s proven he’s a wholehearted Nintendo fan.
The type of fan Nintendo has been disrespecting over the last 10 or + years.
Yup lol
Porn.
#nolife
Seeing that the guy also travels the world as a formation parachuter, I’d say he’s got a pretty cool life on the side
I have a life that is full of fun and drugs wish yours was as exciting as mine but it’s not.
heh like this guy XD
Just to rip it apart after there E3. Ok now I’m done
A masterpiece if you ask me. Well done lad, total respect.
Yikes, let’s just hope and pray he doesn’t spill coffee on this bad boy. Could be a problem.
Well, he’s had it for 6 years and it looks fine. He only just “finished” it now, but for the past 6 years he has still had a rug. It’s just been unfinished.
Awesome!
Also, really nice to see people do something with the 16-Bit version for a change.
Actually 8-bit.
Na, it’s based on the 16-bit version. Even if he didn’t try to use as many colors as the SNES verison, the designs are still based it. (Dark blue HUD, detailed Dirt/Water)
The wiiu has no market
Just for losers
now make an ammibo out of it :P
No fucking way. :D This guy’s talent and time on this has beyond impressed me.
*claps* Bravo. I wonder if he got so pissed at Nintendo’s backstabbing E3 event that he burned that sucker to ash after watching the digital event.
>>>He isn’t as childish as many in this base, and he obviously loves Mario, Mario has not been betrayed>>>
Mario will always be my favorite franchise XD then Zelda , then Metroid
His work belongs in a museum, pretty amazing.
I’m not really sure what “crocheting” is. Some kind of sewing, I would guess.
Crocheting is like knitting.
Nintendo fans are so awesome. I love it!
He should Like Yoshi’s Wooly world, considering he had to deal with yarn for 6 YEARS! :)
>>>I’m sure it will be his favourite game for the Wii U, assuming he has one>>>

Duuuuuuuude that’s awesomeness!!!!
And it’s the shitty Super Mario All-Stars version. Into the trash it goes.
E.P.I.C. Exceptional Piece of Intricate Crochet
This guy needs to submit a video of it into that “Let’s Super Mario” thing.
Next challenge: World 2
Why is there a toilet paper roll alongside his eletronics?
Reblogged this on HuntikFan1017-Lucasville OH-Anime-Gaming-More.

That is awesome. Did you create your own pattern? A few years ago, I made a Princess Peach blanket, star, flower and mushroom rattles for a friend’s first baby. I agree-matching colors is a bitch! http://tinyurl.com/nblemfk
