If you call yourself the ultimate Super Mario fan, then here is some news for you.

Your favourite Nintendo characters are now teaming up for an assault on the board game world, with the release of Super Mario Chess Set.

The game brings the entire famous characters onto one 64 squared battlefield which includes Toad, Peach, Yoshi, Mario Luigi and others.

The game also incorporates other recognisable features of the franchise, with shells and coins acting as pawns in the set.

You might not be able to stomp on the shells this time, but you will be able to eliminate them from the board if you’re smart enough.

One shocking thing is this that the male younger brother of Mario, Luigi, acts as the queen! talk about weird….And this is despite the fact that Princess Peach is still hanging around on the board.

No wonder Mario is still yet to start a relationship with the blonde haired princess!

While the board game may not have the adventure, excitement and fast-paced rush that many of its previous releases possesses, it is still a pretty cool piece of memorabilia.

If anything, it could be the perfect gift for any child you feel is spending too much time playing video games and not enough time feeding their brain.

The Super Mario Chess Set is going for around $40 and is a great gift for any gaming lover.
