Super Mario Bros 3 App Icon

   After briefly studying iPhone game icons, I've come to the conclusion that all game icon designers do is put the main character in a yellow-framed square.

   Thus, I've decided that if there were ever an app for Super Mario Bros 3, it would be impossible for it not to look like this. It seems yellow-framed squares are the key to success!

   Words cannot describe how much I would love to have this on my homescreen. Not sure why Nintendo doesn't embrace the iOS market but I can understand certain reasons why. Let's hope if they do your icon is the one they go with. :) Great job Louie!

    It's a bummer that Mario will never be on non-Nintendo platforms.

    @Andrew Hainen they made some Mario games for other platforms. http://www.mariowiki.com/File:MIM_Cover.jpg

    This looks fantastic, I'm guessing you hand painted Mario for this icon.

    @Aly Fayollat @Nigel Evans @Murat Mutlu @Pete White Oh my, this is just the same Mario image from the cover of SMB3, I didn't illustrate this. It was done before I was born.
