Using Lego pieces and PVC piping, a Redditor’s roommate has recreated a portion of the iconic first level of Super Mario Bros. The classic Nintendo game is restored wonderfully in this DIY project, and the detailed backdrop complete with clouds (which are the same as bushes you know…), score and time really brings it all together.

For those concerned about the potential for toxins from the Lego pieces to leak into the water, all of them were sealed with clear enamel to insure they remain waterproof. The gallery below offers a quick snapshot of the progress and the video at the bottom shows off the finished tank. You even get a nice view of the PVC piping running underneath the ‘level’!

To the roommate of jennyleighb, the Sifter salutes you!
