My brother picked out the yarn. Granted, it was the closest to the shade of Goomba I remember from the 8-bit days, but he said he liked the feel of it. I think it feels like old carpet, but he has to wear it.

I’m going to be duplicate stitching the face on because a.) I need to learn how to do it, and b.) I think it would be more stable than my trying my slapdash intarsia skills for such a small area of color.
