A 1981 promotional poster for the original Donkey Kong, featuring the first public appearance of Mario, has become the the most expensive piece of original video game art ever sold at auction. That record was previously held by the original cover artwork for Prince of Persia, which sold at Heritage Auctions in 2023 for $63,000 — meaning the Donkey Kong poster blew it out of the water by a staggering $266,400. sold for $17,080, which Landry Pop Auctions said was nearly three times its estimate of $6,000. for the NES , boasting an 8.0 grading from PSA, went for $34,160, while a curious piece of history, a Nintendo of America employee orientation VHS tape that featured Mario, was also sold in this auction for $3,660 against its $1,500 estimate.
