This is adorable! I am doing a Mario theme in my classroom next year I may use this idea in a classroom management fashion! Well done!

Oh, how fun!

You know what would be really cool?

What if you could build a string bot for the back, like:

only instead of a marker, have it carry a simple electromagnet.

Then the board could reconfigure itsself, and the characters could even jump and move. B)

That would be every Mario geek's dream - being able to program whole scenes of our greatest successes (or most abject failures...I find them to be more memorable now...).
