Super Mario Chess Set
The classic game of chess takes on a fun twist with Nintendo’s Super Mario Brothers platform video games in the form of a themed set. The set features 32 hand-painted playing pieces with iconic poses. This one of a kind game is great for both display and play. It also comes with a collector’s tin to keep the pieces safe when not in use.
The chess board is double sided for more variety and the plastic pawns are very sturdy. It also includes a folding chessboard for easy storage. This makes it perfect for a road trip or family gathering. This game is a great way to take a break from video games and enjoy some human interaction. It is also an excellent way to help kids develop their problem solving skills.
This unique chess set is based on the Mario Brothers second game, Super Mario Bros. This game is a huge hit around the world, selling more copies than any other video game ever has. The game’s characters are instantly recognizable and are loved by people of all ages. The chess set is a great addition to any Mario fan’s collection.
USAOPOLY released this chess set in September of 2009. It has a white side (heroes) and a black side (villains). It features a wide range of characters from the Super Mario universe, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, and a signature Mario coin as the pawns. The black side features Bowser, Bowser Jr, Kamek, Birdo, Goomba, and Koopa shells as the pawns. Each piece is clearly labelled on the base with what standard chess piece it represents.
This chess set is not for the faint of heart. It requires a lot of strategy and is not for those that are easily frustrated. The pieces are made of a hefty acrylic and hold their details well. The pawns are very sturdy and are an excellent size. The only downside is that the queen is Luigi, who in many of the games is considered a misunderstood coward and not as powerful as his brother. Overall this is a great chess set for any Super Mario fan and would look great on any gaming shelf. This is a wonderful gift for any Super Mario fan or any family that is looking to make some human contact and take a break from video games. It is also a good idea for families traveling together as it can be played on different surfaces. The double sided chess board is a nice touch for extra variety and the tin case is great for transporting and storing the pieces.
