I decided to bring back some of the most iconic pixel-style heroes from classic gaming - but with a fresh 3D twist. I recreated six retro characters as fully 3D-printed keychains:
- Mario
- Luigi
- Princess Peach
- Bowser
- Toad
- Yoshi
These characters defined an era of pixel adventures, and I wanted to capture that nostalgic charm while giving each one a modern, tangible form. Instead of staying trapped on a screen, they now jump into real life as colorful, durable keychains.
My goal was to blend old-school pixel aesthetics with the precision and possibilities of modern 3D printing. Each keychain preserves the blocky retro look we all remember, but transforms it into a clean, polished, physical collectible with a fun, wearable purpose.
These 3D-printed keychains are my tribute to classic gaming and a reminder that retro doesn’t have to stay in the past - it can evolve, upgrade, and inspire all over again.
