John has too much free time

He decided to keep going with this Nintendo thing and made this:

I bet you didn't think they made that many colors of push pins.\

EDIT: For those who doubt the authenticity of the Samus pic:

it has a very strong resemblance to the style achieved with pixel art.

It’s work, and if you want a full time income, you have to work it full time (at least in the beginning).

I did the Mario a year ago at another job, and I didn't have enough pushpins. I was programming all night and lost it. so i did that.
the Samus one took me forever because i'd just stick a few pins in every day. anywho, i'll post a better pic of the samus. I used somones razor phone to take that.
