Artist recreates Super Mario 64 level in LEGO

A LEGO artist has recreated the opening level of Super Mario 64 using nothing but the popular construction toy.

The Bob-omb Battlefield stage – created by Matt De Lanoy – features a collection of tiered levels, a gaggle of Bob-ombs, Bob-omb Buddies, a gathering of Goombas and a Chain Chomp.

Of course, the set isn’t complete without the mustachioed hero, and features a minifigure representation of the main man, Mario himself.

The set also includes hidden coins, boxes, and a network of cannons firing Mario to the setting of the final showdown with Big Bob-omb.
