Help! Help! What is the height/width of Donkey Kong Side Art?

I have the illustrator files, but the file is 5 inches by 4 inches, which is obviously very wrong.
 
Bump, anyone please? I need it for this:

If no one beats me to it, I can measure mine when I get home, about 5:30 MST. Nice looking art, BTW.

And make sure you ignore any positioning info from Phet.

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Positioning measurements would be great too!

Here is what I need to finish the sideart:

28 1/4 x 22 1/4. Mine is positioned 5" from the top and centered horizontally. Well, I think it should be centered, It's like a quarter of an inch to the front.
 
Goddammit I hate that damn DK necktie. That is the Kong that turned me off to the whole franchise. No wonder classic arcades failed in the 90's.
 
LOL I didnt noticed that
why does a gorilla need a neck tie?
especilly since he isnt wearing the rest of the 3 piece monkey suit :D

I always wondered why Nintendo decided he needed a label with his initials on it. Then again, to fit in the whole Mario thing, Mario has an M on his hat and Luigi has the L. I guess it makes sense. Also he wasn't the bad guy anymore (most of the time) and it makes you more friendly to have your name or initials on you somewhere? Like people in stores with name tags. They are supposed to look friendly.

Translation: I don't know, I've always though it was weird too.

Yah, the box art isn't exactly retro, but the game is great.

I also hate the bubble nose and giant eyes on mario.
 
Maybe he was trying to attract Pauline? I don't think it really made a difference though.

Man, she had it rough. Kidnapped by DK in 1981, Mario leaves her for Princess in 1985 and she gets kidnapped again in 1994 and again in recent years (Mario vs. DK series).

So wait, is Mario with Princess or Pauline? Or is Pauline like his sister or something? :confused:
 
Oh man:

Currently, Pauline is depicted as a lavender-eyed woman with long, flowing burgundy hair, and pale skin. She has large, slanted eyes with long, defined eyelashes and eyebrows that are dark, curvy, and thin out as they extend. She wears a lot of makeup - namely, violet eye shadow, red lipstick and nail polish. Unlike most females from the Mario series, Pauline is tall as well as very voluptuous, as seen in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. Regarding her face and hair, her appearance is very similar to that of Captain Syrup from the Wario series.

How could anyone think about that so much, much less write about it.

Can you double check that measurement? When I porprotional scale the AI file to 22.25" wide it falls short of 28.25" tall. The height is just shy of 27 5/8".

Someone's playing it right now (JEE-SUS guy who does not say that anymore for some reason) but I'll check when I can.
 
Yup, I just pulled it out again and it's 28 1/4 x 22 1/4. Maybe they made it in more than one size? Which would be weird but you never know. If anyone else wants to check theirs?

Edit: yeah I'm measuring to the white, right to the edge of the sticker.
