      Yeah this is wheatpasted. Looks like it's several sheets aligned on the wall for Luigi, you can see a bit of misalignment at the page borders (gotta work fast)

      That's what I'm guessing, or a similar adhesive to wheatpaste, you can see it dripped on the ground on the right. You can see the lines in Luigi where the pages are separated, so probably just printed on a standard printer.

          Years ago I used the website rasterbator.com to do that, it looks like it might be better now too but idk. I think it's possible in Photoshop or whatever to print an image across multiple pages though also.

          Blockposters, rasterbator, gizmoa at a quick google search. I'm sure there are others.

              They're really cool, but one of those things that have been sold to people as like "Everybody should have this, start your own business doing customizable stickers and things. Buy all the accessories! You'll use it all the time!" Like yeah, they'd go really well in a neighborhood tool library or a makerspace, but there a ton of them sitting in homes just collecting dust.
