Your shelves officially suck compared to these. They’re Donkey Kong shelves, complete with a monkey, NES, SNES and N64. Oh, and the N64 only has Goldeneye as opposed to a full collection of games. Awesome. [Sprite Stitch via TDW]
Colombian artists Andres Barragan and Miss Vynilos have painstakingly tiled the interior of a shower to depict scenes from Donkey Kong Junior.
Lego. Mindstorms RCX. Donkey Kong. Rolling barrels. Donkey Kong throws rolling barrels. Mario jumps. And jumps. And jumps. All synchronised. Dan Kressin even generated the game start tune with Lego. After seeing it in action–and hearing the rattling noise it makes–I want this on the wall of my bedroom, as my alarm clock. Videos and high res pictures after the jump.
Here’s a really great image looking back at the royal roots of the three Nintendo big boys; Mario, Link and Donkey Kong. There isn’t any monochrome character love from the old days proper, but it is quite an extensive time line nonetheless, which culminates in the modern day incarnations of our beloved superheroes.

And yes, I want to play it too. Like Archimedes said: “Give me enough Guinness and a big hammer and I’ll move the world! And kill that monkey. Or something like that.” I’m missing the oil-dipped fire balls, but nothing is perfect. [Gamebrink - Thanks Jeromy] More »
