Check out these recently sighted Nintendo ads comprised of thousands of individual sticky notes used to create giant versions of The Big N’s classic gaming icons.

Nintendo Ad with Post-its

Taking some obvious inspiration from this earlier video game Post-it art, the colored notes were used to create pixelated versions of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and other gaming characters. Each individual note could be removed by passersby, revealing a small advertisement for the Wii’s virtual console.

From what I can find out, these photos were snapped a few weeks back somewhere in Italy. Hopefully, we’ll see this clever campaign rolled out to other locations sometime in the future.

    that is really cool and clever! i wonder if they ever blew away in a windstorm…

    If they do blow away or end up on the ground, is it considered littering? At $500 per offense you could be packing up your agency and hitting careerbuilder before you know it.

    Great work though, wish I had come up with it.
