DeviantArtist ihateyouare has created a humongous portrait which is basically the world map of Super Mario RPG. This game is officially titled Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and was originally released in 1996 for the SNES. In 2008, the game was ported to the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console and was released in several countries other than Japan.

The brains behind the game are directors Yoshihiko Maekawa and Chihiro Fujioka and producer Shigeru Miyamoto. For sure, these guys would be impressed with this rendition of the world map, as one cannot help but admire it – whether or not you have played the game.

I suggest that you click on the image to see the full size and fully appreciate the details. In case you’re wondering, the artist used Photoshop and Wacom Tablet for his masterpiece.
