I love chess. I love the nervous rush I get when starting a game, and the tense excitement when the kill is near. I also love Super Mario World (one of the best games ever made) for the exact same reasons. But which is better?
Luckily, I don’t have to make this painful decision, for I can have both at the same time. This Super Mario chess set features Mario and his team on the side of white, with Bowser and his sadistic minions playing for black. Using gold coins for pawns is a little lame — it should be mushrooms, right? — but green shells as bad pawns and Yoshi as the knight are inspired choices.
There is one oddity, though: Luigi is the queen. What’s going on there? $40.
