It’s our sincere hope that if the Super Mario Bros. ever actually did show up in our world, they wouldn’t look anything like Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo — instead, we’d really prefer they look something like what you see above: Two papercraft statues put together by DeviantArt-ist TouchFuzzyGetDizzy. Definitely click the Source link below to see these guys as big as possible. The actual statues are 40 and 50 centimeters tall, and with the detail on them, you’re probably looking at quite a bit of paper.
If you want to try cutting, folding, and pasting them together yourself, you’re welcome to — the creator has uploaded patterns of each, though he warns that there are no instructions to go along with them yet. Elsewhere in his gallery, you can see more angles of Luigi, as well as models of Aryll and Salvatore from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Very cool. The best thing we ever made with paper? The football from … er … Tecmo Bowl.
