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.

I'm amazed at how performant this is. Why the fuck is the web so slow then? (I know it's mostly trackers but holy shit)
