QRecreation of the font used in Nintendo's classic "Super Mario Bros. 2" (aka "Super Mario USA", 1988) on the NES.

All alphanumeric characters are straight from the game (with the exception of "Q", which i tried to keep in a matching style), while all other characters are generic versions I included to make the font a bit more useful.

UPDATE: fixed the "Q" to match the one found in the game ROM.

As an aside, there actually is a "Q" bitmap buried in the ROM. Here's what it looks like:

@codeman38 oh wow. gotta say, i actually prefer my version. what a conundrum: go for accuracy (though from what i can see no text actually uses the Q in game) or for my own aesthetic sensibility?

@redux - Why not do both? Put the official "Q" in one position (either "Q" or "q"); then put your version of the "Q" in the other position, and denote it in the font's description.

went for accuracy...replaced the Q
