If you're wondering like I was:
King - Mario and Bowser
Queen - Luigi and Bowser Jr.
Bishops - Peach/Daisy and Magikoopas
Knights - Yoshis and Birdos
Rooks - Toads and Goombas
Pawns - Coins and Koopa Shells
I feel like toads and goombas should have been pawns. Thwomp is the perfect rook. I can't think of a suitable replacement for the Mushroom Kingdom's rook other than stylizing it like Peach's castle.

I always thought Mario and Luigi should have been the knights. You know, the only pieces that can jump.
29 0 ReplyIt makes sense. There are two of them, and only one Luigi. There needs to be two bishops, and one queen.
26 0 ReplyI mean... They're both princesses after all, not queens...
