Crochet 8-bit Mario

This was a request from someone from my brother's school. He loved it. It is my own design, I had to think of some way to make the pixels into something tangible, I worked in blocks of color and used a grid that my brother printed up for me. I hope you all like!

Here is the reference picture (I had to add his lower hand from another pic because for some strange reason, he doesn't have one in this pic!)
