Maps Are Art, Especially Etched Wood Cartographs Of The Mushroom Kingdom
Last year, we featured Alex Griendling’s spectacular map of Hyrule. What drew our eye is that each map is laser-etched onto hand-selected wood. His latest work takes us from Hyrule to a far-off island in the Mushroom Kingdom.
The latest partnership between Griendling and Neutral Ground is a map of Super Mario World’s Dinosaur Land. In addition to the terrestrial areas found in that seminal Super Nintendo title, the artist has included a map inset for Star Road.
The lower right area features a legend of power-ups found in the title. There are a number of coins placed in the lower left near the compass.

This map is slightly smaller than the depiction of Hyrule Griendling created, measuring 14” by 18”. Each has a keyhole slot on the back for hanging.
You can see additional images of the Dinosaur Land map below. They are available for purchase at Neutral Ground for $150.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
