| 14 | Pieces move as usual, but they all hide a special "power" |
| 15 | inspired by Mario Kart: |
| 16 | </p> |
| 17 | <ul> |
| 18 | <li> |
| 19 | The pawn (Toad) leaves a "turbo" mushroom on its initial square, |
| 20 | or on the intermediate one in case of a two squares move. |
| 21 | </li> |
| 22 | <li> |
| 23 | The knight (Yoshi) let a surprise egg on its initial square. |
| 24 | See about egg effect below. |
| 25 | </li> |
| 26 | <li> |
| 27 | The rook (Donkey) put a banana on a square diagonally adjacent to the |
| 28 | arrival one, at random, if possible. |
| 29 | </li> |
| 30 | <li> |
| 31 | The bishop (Wario) put a bomb on a square orthogonally adjacent to the |
| 32 | arrival one, at random, if possible. |
| 33 | </li> |
| 34 | <li> |
| 35 | The queen (Mario) can play a stealth move once in the game: |
| 36 | the opponent will only know that a queen moved - to an empty square. |
| 37 | A promoted queen also has this power if not already used. |
| 38 | </li> |
| 39 | <li> |
| 40 | The king (Peach) can "throw a shell" on an enemy reachable by a queen, |
| 41 | once in the game. A promoted king also has this power, if not already |
| 42 | used. The capture is done remotely without moving. |
| 43 | </li> |
| 44 | </ul> |
| 45 | <p>The king cannot castle, and pawns don't capture en passant.</p> |

| 55 | <p> |
| 56 | So the goal is to capture Peach :) If pawns promoted into king, then all |
| 57 | of them must be captured. Since it still looked too easy, the 4 mentioned |
| 58 | objects alter the move played, generally at random: |
| 59 | </p> |
| 60 | <ul> |
| 61 | <li> |
| 62 | A king or a pawn arriving on a mushroom advance one square further, |
| 63 | while a knight jump another time in the same direction, if possible. |
| 64 | Pawns can "eat" objects diagonally too. |
| 65 | Mushrooms have no effect on sliders (queen, rook, bishop). |
| 66 | </li> |
| 67 | <li> |
| 68 | A piece arriving on a banana (resp. bomb) is redirected at random by one |
| 69 | square in an orthogonal (resp. diagonal) direction. If a piece (of any |
| 70 | color!) stands on that square, then it is captured. |
| 71 | </li> |
| 72 | <li> |
| 73 | The effects can cumulate, as illustrated on the diagram: the pawn |
| 74 | "captures" the banana on e4, and is then redirected toward e5: mushroom, |
| 75 | it jumps to the next square, which sends it on d5 eating the white rook. |
| 76 | (We can imagine that the hope was to eat the black knight instead). |
| 77 | A piece may ends on its initial square, move back, and so on. That being |
| 78 | said, a given object can only be used once on the path. |
| 79 | </li> |
| 80 | </ul> |

| 93 | <p> |
| 94 | The egg case is more complex: a move ending on an egg triggers an effect |
| 95 | chosen at random, positive or negative. There are four bonus and four |
| 96 | penalties. They are introduced in a dual form: first the positive, then |
| 97 | the negative. |
| 98 | </p> |
| 99 | <ul> |
| 100 | <li> |
| 101 | King Boo (*B) let you exchange the position of any pair of pieces on the |
| 102 | board. |
| 103 | </li> |
| 104 | <li>Koopa (*K) drives the piece back onto its initial square.</li> |
| 105 | <li> |
| 106 | Toadette (*T) allows to place a new — random — piece on the |
| 107 | board. If the piece is dropped on an egg, banana or bomb, its effects |
| 108 | are applied. |
| 109 | </li> |
| 110 | <li> |
| 111 | Chomp (*C) eats the piece, which is thus captured. If it's Peach, then |
| 112 | bad luck, game over :) |
| 113 | </li> |
| 114 | <li>Daisy (*D) allows to play again with any of your pieces.</li> |
| 115 | <li> |
| 116 | Bowser (*M) immobilizes the piece (which is surrounded by a light green |
| 117 | halo). It won't be allowed to move on the next turn. |
| 118 | </li> |
| 119 | <li>Luigi (*L) changes the color of a random enemy piece.</li> |
| 120 | <li>Waluigi (*W) changes the color of one of your pieces (at random).</li> |
