15 Pieces move as usual, but they all hide a special "power"
16 inspired by Mario Kart:
17 </p>
18 <ul>
19 <li>
20 The pawn (Toad) leaves a "turbo" mushroom on its initial square,
21 or on the intermediate one in case of a two squares move.
22 </li>
23 <li>
24 The knight (Yoshi) let a surprise egg on its initial square.
25 See about egg effect below.
26 </li>
27 <li>
28 The rook (Donkey) put a banana on a square diagonally adjacent to the
29 arrival one, at random, if possible.
30 </li>
31 <li>
32 The bishop (Wario) put a bomb on a square orthogonally adjacent to the
33 arrival one, at random, if possible.
34 </li>
35 <li>
36 The queen (Mario) can play a stealth move once in the game:
37 the opponent will only know that a queen moved - to an empty square.
38 A promoted queen also has this power if not already used.
39 </li>
40 <li>
41 The king (Peach) can "throw a shell" on an enemy reachable by a queen,
42 once in the game. A promoted king also has this power, if not already
43 used. The capture is done remotely without moving.
44 </li>
45 </ul>
46 <p>The king cannot castle, and pawns don't capture en passant.</p>

57 So the goal is to capture Peach :) If pawns promoted into king, then all
58 of them must be captured. Since it still looked too easy, the 4 mentioned
59 objects alter the move played, generally at random:
60 </p>
61 <ul>
62 <li>
63 A king or a pawn arriving on a mushroom advance one square further,
64 while a knight jump another time in the same direction, if possible.
65 Pawns can "eat" objects diagonally too.
66 Mushrooms have no effect on sliders (queen, rook, bishop).
67 </li>
68 <li>
69 A piece arriving on a banana (resp. bomb) is redirected at random by one
70 square in an orthogonal (resp. diagonal) direction. If a piece (of any
71 color!) stands on that square, then it is captured.
72 </li>
73 <li>
74 The effects can cumulate, as illustrated on the diagram: the pawn
75 "captures" the banana on e4, and is then redirected toward e5: mushroom,
76 it jumps to the next square, which sends it on d5 eating the white rook.
77 (We can imagine that the hope was to eat the black knight instead).
78 A piece may ends on its initial square, move back, and so on. That being
79 said, a given object can only be used once on the path.
80 </li>
81 </ul>

94 <p>
95 The egg case is more complex: a move ending on an egg triggers an effect
96 chosen at random, positive or negative. There are four bonus and four
97 penalties. They are introduced in a dual form: first the positive, then
98 the negative.
99 </p>
100 <ul>
101 <li>
102 King Boo (*B) let you exchange the position of any pair of pieces on the
103 board.
104 </li>
105 <li>Koopa (*K) drives the piece back onto its initial square.</li>
106 <li>
107 Toadette (*T) allows to place a new &mdash; random &mdash; piece on the
108 board. If the piece is dropped on an egg, banana or bomb, its effects
109 are applied.
110 </li>
111 <li>
112 Chomp (*C) eats the piece, which is thus captured. If it's Peach, then
113 bad luck, game over :)
114 </li>
115 <li>Daisy (*D) allows to play again with any of your pieces.</li>
116 <li>
117 Bowser (*M) immobilizes the piece (which is surrounded by a light green
118 halo). It won't be allowed to move on the next turn.
119 </li>
120 <li>Luigi (*L) changes the color of a random enemy piece.</li>
121 <li>Waluigi (*W) changes the color of one of your pieces (at random).</li>
