Mario - Desk Buddy

Like many gamers from my generation, I grew up with the NES and SNES, and few games left a bigger impression on me than Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. I spent countless hours exploring every level, hunting down secret exits, uncovering hidden areas, and trying to find every last thing these games had to offer. I also spent plenty of time flipping through Nintendo Power, studying every screenshot and preview while eagerly anticipating their release. The iconic yellow box of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the unforgettable image of Mario soaring through the skies with his cape in Super Mario World are memories that have stuck with me for decades. Even today, I find myself comparing new games to those experiences. The creativity, level design, secrets, sense of discovery, and pure fun set a standard that few games have ever matched. Super Mario World helped launch what would become one of the greatest consoles of all time, and both games remain among my personal favorites. This model is my small tribute to a character and a series that played a huge role in shaping my love of gaming. This model is fan art created out of appreciation for the character and the games that helped define an era of gaming. ⚠️ Before You Print This is a large multi-color model and some of the color profiles are very demanding on the AMS. The 8-color versions especially are long prints that will push your AMS to its limits with a significant number of color changes, but the final result looks fantastic and is well worth the extra time. Support removal will require a little patience. Recommended tools: Tweezers Flush cutters / clippers Hobby knife / X-Acto knife Take your time removing supports around detailed areas for the best finish.
