Game Art. - World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros 1.
This is the First level known as World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros 1 on the NES.
So recently there has been this Art Challenge in 2024 known as “NES Peach Challenge” Basically someone decided to recreate their version of “Peach” within the same limitations for the colors & sprite size. - So many others have made their versions as well based on Peach from Super Mario Bros 1.
However… Since I decided to do this challenge with some other characters as well. I thought that I might as well make this challenge into a Game Artwork instead based on Super Mario Bros 1.
This is not my first time attempting to do some sort of Artwork based on World 1-1. I made my first version back in 2019 together with Super Mario Bros 2 & 3. - But for this comparison I only included the first one based on SMB1.
Now for the Artwork Itself, The display for the resolution is 256x240. I made my versions of the tiles and environment & characters with the same amount of pixels and colors to the original game. For the environments I made world 1-1 with some minor changes into It, just to showcase some of the enemies and collectables.
The second environment is based on World 8-4 which is the last level. Since this Artwork was at first based on the “NES Peach Challenge” I wanted to recreate the picture where Peach is seen in the game.
I also added an extra picture to showcase the comparison to the original sprites > to my versions of the sprites.
The last picture is just for the “NES Peach Challenge Artwork”
I tried to make most characters within this NES style, to see how they are designed in today's time. Also I wanted to have the characters seen in an tilted angle, so I could add some more details around the character.
