Maybe I should do that for my Mario backglass "posters" (you can see them in the corner in this photo of my loft office)

I'm gonna draft off this to ask: What's the best video game to never get a sequel (too recent for a sequel doesn't count -- remakes/spin-offs are borderline) Surprisingly hard, since even a lot of bad games get sequels, but I'll start with a few personal faves:

So who’s gonna tell Trump what America.gov’s “superior intelligence” says about the 2020 election?

I can not be the only one who did a double take at the first four letters of this name, in this font, on this banner…

This is way too much like a headline you'd see in the first 15 minutes of a movie about an AI-driven apocalypse than I am comfortable with.

So is Kirby just Nintendo's new primary mascot now? The way they are pointedly avoiding a new 3D Mario game is getting hard to ignore

Really depends on the shot, IMO. Your example looks fine but this one just looks... off.
