Dave Delisle has been generous enough to provide the Internet with the instructions and printable cut-outs for one of your very own video game dioramas.
The piece in particular is of Mario in a level sequence that includes three enemies and other Mario elements. What is so incredible about this diorama is how the 3D aspect of it creates shadows similar to the way it is done in actual Super Mario Bros. levels.
With these instructions, why let this Mario level be the end of your endeavours with video game dioramas? Use this piece as inspiration to create all kinds of other paper craft artwork. Like a piece modelled after Paper Mario for instance -- now that would be a natural transition into something different.
