Earthbound

This first maze was created in May, 2007. I had no clear goal while I was creating it, and the result was a very complex maze that’s actually surprisingly simple to beat- relatively. It contains several references to the SNES game Earthbound, as well as the N64 game MarioKart. Tessie Turnpike is named for a character in Earthbound. Also, in the bottom right-hand corner, you can see Ness, the main character of the game, and Mr. Saturn. Just above them is Rainbow Road, a raceway in MarioKart. Aside from these references, the maze is cluttered with dozens of tiny details that make every path unique and fun.

If you’re attempting to beat this maze, it’s important to note that the paths are three dimensional, in a sense. They can cross over and under other paths, so don’t get discouraged if your path seems to dead end- it may just continue on the other side!
