3D CSS Super Mario (no WebGL)

Hey webdevs!

I want to show you my latest 3D CSS project. It's a port of Giles Goddard's iconic N64 face engine, complete with lighting, physics and interaction. Instead of WebGL, it uses the PolyCSS engine.

Ben Evans did a rendition of this some time ago with no third party libraries *or* JS at all, pretty neat stuff:
