World 1 (Mario As Movement) is a four part series. In each part, players were allowed one life to complete a level in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Their progress was tracked, plotted, and visually represented against the original game's level. This is part two of four in the World 1 (Mario As Movement) series. Below are snippets from the larger image. Please view my portfolio for the full Mario As Movement collection.
Each player is represented by a color from the game level's palette. Vertical lines indicate a fall. The idea was that the viewer would want to pick out which line represents them. Our personal connection to movement and "play style" is fascinating.
This series was originally printed in high quality large format for gallery display. The final print was five feet long, with the smaller four snippet images seen here printed to one foot width and placed below and above the long, final image.
