About the piece
Donkey Kong (Miyamoto, et. al.,1981) was the first appearance of the Itallian plumber we now know as Mario. While this game's early '80s arcade popularity predates most of today's engineering students, it represents the amazing results that a small development team can produce. Today Donkey Kong is ranked as the 3rd most popular arcade game of all time, selling over 65,000 units.

Currently this work is visible at the E2 building at UCSC, it is scheduled to be removed on or before May 1.
Total Number of Post-It® Notes about 6400
Total People about 10
Total Time 5 hours
To get enough of the colors needed, about 14,000 post-it notes were purchased This is what 14,000 post-it notes look like:

It hardly even looks like 14,000 post-it notes, but what you did was pretty rad.

those pictures are awesome and Donkey Kong was fun, but Donkey Kong Jr. was BADASS.

my vote's for Mario as antagonist.

Nice composition!
