i played that game for countless hours.....
great job on this

Thank you. This was definitely the game that I was best at. Friends of mine would bring kids from the neighborhood over to my house to watch me go through the whole game without getting knocked down.

Nice job! And it must have been a fair amount of work!

Now the Punch-Out main fight tune is in my head...

Awesome choice! I remember to beat this guy, you had to hit him in the face just as he was about to punch, then when he had his glove stuck in his mouth, you hit him in the belly over and over again. What a classic game!

I really need to start doing these, I see the bead kits at my local craft store all the time, but never took a close look. One question: how do you actually attach the beads to eachother?

Okay, prepare yourself. This is long, but it thoroughly explains the whole process. I occasionally get asked how I do these, so it'll be good to just type the whole process here as a reference point for others when they ask questions in the future.


After you have placed all the beads on the interlocking pegboards, take a large enough sheet of parchment paper and place it over the beads. Run an iron (at just above 3/4 max. heat, never use the iron's steam spray) evenly over the whole thing until the beads completely fuse together. It can take over two minutes per side for super-large projects like this one, around 30-40 seconds per side for smaller projects that only use one or two pegboards worth of beads.

You'll want to immediately put some kind of weighdown that's large enough, fairly heavy, and flat and smooth (a piece of sanded plywood is perfect) on top of it to keep things flat, because the bead figure's edges will quickly begin to curl upward from the heat you applied. Don't remove the parchment paper from the beads when you do this. Let it sit, with whatever you chose to weigh it down flat, until the ironed side has cooled completely; ten minutes is usually enough time.

__________________________________________________________________________
This section is only necessary if you're doing a really large beadsprite. With projects that don't use that many pegboards, you can flip it over with your hands (to iron the other side) as long as you evenly support the beads while flipping.

*For really large projects* - Keep the weighdown object where it has been, on top of the beads. It's time to flip it over and then remove the pegboards, but you can't just flip it over with your bare hands to iron the other side, due to its weight. Since it's only ironed on one side, the beads will hinge swing & break anywhere that they're not completely supported. What you want to do is have something similar to the weighdown you used to keep it from curling (such as another plywood piece) also placed underneath the pegboards, so you have your project "sandwiched". Now you can just slide one hand underneath and press the other hand down on the top plywood, and quickly flip everything without the beads bending, breaking, sliding, etc. Getting someone to help you flip it makes it much easier, if you don't have strong enough hands & arms to do it alone. Remove the "sandwich" piece that is now on top after you flipped things.
__________________________________________________________________________


Remove the pegboards, so you are now looking at just the unironed side of the beadsprite. Place the parchment paper on this unironed side and iron it evenly until this side also fuses together. Place the weighdown object back on top of the beads to also prevent this side from curling up, and let it sit again to cool for 10 minutes. You're done, remove the weighdown & parchment paper.


Hope this helps everyone who's curious.
