  15     Pieces move as usual, but they all hide a special "power" inspired by
  16     Mario Kart:
  17   </p>
  18   <ul>
  19     <li>
  20       The pawn (Toad) leaves a "turbo" mushroom on its initial square, or on
  21       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. See about
  25       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: the opponent
  37       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>

  56   <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     </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 bishop
  74       "captures" the banana on e4, and is then redirected twoard e5: mushroom,
  75       it jumps over the black pawn to ends on the bomb on e7, which sends it
  76       on d6 (f6 and f8 were possible too). A bomb is finally put on c6 which
  77       is the only eligible square. A piece may ends on its initial square,
  78       move back, and so on. That being said, a given object can only be used
  79       once on the path.
  80     </li>
  81   </ul>

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