ROSKILDE, Denmark — A Norwegian Nintendo superfan said it took him 6 years to crochet a map from Super Mario Bros. 3 into a 7-foot, 2-inch-long blanket.
Kjetil Nordin’s blanket, which also measures 5 feet and 10 inches across, depicts the map from World 1 of Super Mario Bros. 3 for the original Nintendo Entertainment System.
“The hardest thing has been to accept that it took such a long time. I’ve spent 800 hours crocheting and many hours researching and searching for the correct yarn,” Nordin told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK.
