A Nintendo fan's wet dream

Pixel-perfect recreations of Samus and Link make us happy

Words: Brett Elston, GamesRadar US

Magnet Man - Mega Man 3

Remember this guy? He's an all-time fave for plenty of old-school gamers. Something about a robot, full of circuits and motherboards and stuff, walking around with a giant magnet on his head… seems pretty impossible. Regardless, he's a striking figure to construct and easily one of the most vibrant sprites to display.

Much like Samus, who hoarded yellow, Magnet Man will claim many a red piece, so be sure you've got the goods before you begin. He's got a bit of skin showing too, but here the yellow works just fine because it's hidden amongst the red and black. White is another curious issue, solved here by using the clear blocks that ship in ample numbers in every PixelBlock package you buy. They're not white-white, but they get the job done. The more colors you have surrounding the white, the more true-white it'll appear.

He's a hefty boy too, so again you'll have to double up the feet to protect his heavy head from tipping the whole thing over.
