There isn’t a lot to work with pixel-wise when you’re looking to pay tribute to an 8-bit classic like Mario. I started with a 16×20 pixel canvas and recreated Mario himself. Then I overlaid the new pixels attempting to keep to the original shape as much as possible. A majority of the changes are (naturally) in the face since Buzz doesn’t have quite the nose that Mario does.

This Buzz says, “It’s-a me! Buzz-a Lightyear! Let’s-a go!”

Inspired by our first reader submitted Buzz tribute comes to us from Henry Reyes. Thanks Henry!
