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.

Thwomp and Chain Chomp should have been the rooks.

I always thought Mario and Luigi should have been the knights. You know, the only pieces that can jump.

It makes sense. There are two of them, and only one Luigi. There needs to be two bishops, and one queen.

I mean... They're both princesses after all, not queens...

And technically, the piece that is called "Queen" in the west was originally called "Vizier", meaning "king's advisor".

Slay, queen.

I love that for her, we stan our mustachioed queen

Can't wait for someone to claim this as woke culture instead of the reality that it's just misogyny striking again.
