Now, this is the kind of office prank everybody wants to come back to. When SEGA's Aaron Webber went on a three-week vacation, his mates pitched in to turn his cubicle into the Green Hill Zone. Using cardboard, print-outs of classic Sonic the Hedgehog assets, and a little Astroturf, Webber's workplace was transformed into a 3D 16-bit wonderland.
Really, you should check out the video. The detail in the modeling is pretty amazing, such as the dropping paper fronds of the palm trees and the actual ramps Sonic blasted across during his first Genesis adventure. There's even a spinning sign from the end of the stage, which turns from Robotnik to Sonic as the Blue Blur blasts by it.
Webber's a total good sport about it. When he's welcomed back to his office, he even pops on a Sonic hat (like the one you get if you pre-order Sonic Colors) and sits right down in the middle of the Green Hill Zone. Hey SEGA, how about releasing the papercraft plans so fans can make this at home?
