The Mario franchise has come an awfully long way since it was first released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, splintering off into cross-platform games, movies, TV shows and more. And it's become so ingrained in our cultural consciousness that endless lore and fan theory has developed alongside its different iterations.

One fan has given one of the best responses I've seen to the Super Mario universe and its confusing array of levels and lands, attempting to bring order to the video game's sprawling design – no mean feat as proved by the length of the project. They've spent a full 100 days mapping out the whole of Super Mario's planet – and made an epic video explaining their process, theories, assumptions and more. If you're a Mario fan you'll love this (it's one of the best uses of map design we've seen) – see the video below.
