\u201cMariotography\u201d is what designer Dave Delisle<\/a> calls his series<\/a> of metro maps reimagined as worlds from the classic 1980s video game Super Mario Brothers 3.<\/p>\n

Delisle created poster-sized maps for eight North American transit systems, including those found in Canada’s four largest cities.\u00a0Each map incorporates iconic Mario landmarks — such as toadstools and dungeons — that stand-in for typical commuter markers.<\/p>\n

For example, the green plumbing pipes that Mario uses to travel between worlds represent commuter rails that connect each rapid transit line. In Toronto, they denote the Go Train.<\/p>\n

Appropriately, Peach\u2019s many castles represent terminus stations, as they are the end of the line for Mario in each world. Here\u2019s M\u00e9tro de Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

Vancouver’s SkyTrain map is even animated and includes the still-under-construction Evergreen Line.<\/p>\n

For Calgary\u2019s C-Train, Delisle put Mario himself on the poster, representing The Stampede City with a white cowboy hat.<\/p>\n

The Mariotography series also includes four American cities: Atlanta<\/a>, San Francisco<\/a>, Portland<\/a>, and Washington, DC<\/a>. All maps are\u00a0available to purchase on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
