Papercraft: Super Mario Invincibility Stars

September 26, 2008 in Art,Video Games with 2 Comments

I think my favorite example of an invincibility status appears in the Sonic The Hedgehog games. When you score one of those invincible boxes, you leave a trail of glimmering sparkles in your wake. Alas, in Mario Bros you just sort of glow a bunch of different colors while playing silly music.

Thanks to the people on uChina, you can now combine both elements, the Mario Bros invincible stars and the Sonic The Hedgehog trails, by making a ton of stars. My plan? Hurl them behind me as I ran through Center City. You can’t touch me bitches, I’m invincible.

You can scope out the instructions on how to make the origami stars on uChina. The directions are in Spanish, but hey, you can get the gist of it just by looking at the photos.

    I’ve been making these for people around the lab…but for some reason stopped.

    That would explain the bad results in the past month or so… I have to start making them again!!

    Thanks for the link to our blog!

    Really is uchina, not uChina.

    Uchina means “Okinawa” in Okinawa dialect.
    Okinawa Island is the largest of the Ryukyu Islands, Okinawa Prefecture, South of Japan.

    Enjoy!
