In the decades since his first Sisyphian pursuit of a huge barrel-chucking gorilla, Mario’s legacy has built into mythic status. It was inevitable that some glorious day his epic battles with the infamous goombas and formidable (for turtles, at least) koopa troopas would be immortalized in that most ancient of media, the Quilt.
In this smaller sibling of our Super Mario Hidden Level quilt, Mario finds a Fire Flower — and prepares to power up with fireball-flinging flower power!
So grab a power-up and relax underneath this heroic iconography to relive this most horizontal of sagas, or perhaps use it to decorate your own castle. Whether you are a princess or a plumber, or even an unfortunate mushroom named Toad, this life-size homage cannot help but inspire you on your own quest for a plumber or princess (or, well, whatever mushrooms quest for which we shan’t go into here).
Approximately 40 x 50 inches inches (101 x 127 cm). Big enough for two little kids or one big kid.
