I have updated the Skytrain Map to be pixel perfect. For a poster-size 300-dpi image all the art had to be redone, as every pixel had to be precise. This took about 20 hours over the past week to make. I have gone over every inch of this map (drawn at 24″ by 31″) for any wayward pixels or hairline errors.
Making it poster-size meant it had to be taller, so I included the game UI underneath the map. Other additions include the Seabus and West Coast Express* (by popular demand). I could not do the B-Lines, sorry. Maybe for the next version. I now have the means to make many Mario 3 maps.
Speaking of which I will also take commissions for Mario 3 maps for your town’s transit system. I only ask that the system be somewhat simple (like what is shown here). Email me for more information about rates. Paypal only.
Actual pixel size sample:
*Leads to a warp pipe that says ‘To Mission’. Best I could do there.

Hi Dave. I am interested in getting one. Just so you know, the 2nd and 3rd image links seem to be broken.
Sorry, nevermind. It worked.
Glad to hear it. I always appreciate a heads-up about broken links though, thanks for taking the time to notify me.
No problem! By the way, not sure if you noticed but Bruce Mau Design noticed your map and posted it to tumblr today.
Whoa! Praise from Caesar.
That poster has been on a few dozen Tumblr blogs the past few weeks, but the Bruce Mau one takes the cake.
Thanks for the news!
