I’ll be up that way this weekend; I’ll have to have a look
Chris Schleyer knew the new elevator shaft with crisscrossed beams installed behind his apartment building on South State Street was the perfect canvas for something special.
“After it went up, we saw the steel beams crisscrossing up and down and it looked like the Donkey Kong game,” Schleyer said. “It’s different than everything I’ve seen going up lately and it’s a nice little Easter egg in Concord.”
The beams have since been painted bright pink in a pixelated style capturing the design of the original 1981 game. Atop the five-story building is Princess Pauline, with Donkey Kong and his barrels below. Mario, equipped with his hammer is ready to climb up.
Hope they got approval from Nintendo for that!
Do you want giant angry kidnapping gorillas? Because this is how you get giant angry kidnapping gorillas.
They also have a habit of rolling empty barrels down the fire escapes. The only way to get rid of them is with mustachioed Italian plumbers with big hammers.
Short British men will be allowed in a pinch.
