Fun for introduction to chess!! October 16, 2009

I got this for my 7 year old son, who is a huge mario fan, but also wanted to learn about chess. The characters are useful for remembering the various types of moves and he has had a lot of fun playing. The good vs evil set up gives him motivation to win and thus he is learning in the process. A very good introductory set, for to teach kids who like the mario universe but might be confused by the normal chess pieces. 5 Stars *****

High quality, excellent opportunity for fun, excitement and learning chess for Mario Brothers lovers. Children of all ages would enjoy this. My children even love to use pieces as bath toys to continue the fun.... totally waterproof pieces.
This is a must buy for kids who love Mario Brothers and need an alternative to constant video games.

My son received this set for christmas this year. he does not play chess or show interest in learning he wanted it for the character pieces. he loves it and plays with it every day. the chess pieces are of wonderful quality, they are not cheap plastic but a sturdy, solid rubber. the pieces are also true to the characters in the mario video games. just a wonderful set and worth every penny.
Incredible Set of Mario Figures February 26, 2010

My son is having a Mario party for his 7th birthday. I was trying to do a Mario cake, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I decided that I would get a cake from Costco and decorate it with figures. But then, I had trouble finding the figures! This chess set is the perfect answer! There are 32 chess pieces- all Mario themed! Mario and Luigi are king and queen for the red side; Bowser and Bowser Jr. are King and Queen for the other side. Bishops are Princess Peach & Daisy vs. Magikoopa; Knights are Yoshi vs. Birdo; Rooks are Toad vs Goomba, and Pawns are Coins vs. Green Shells. Each piece is set on either a green or red base with the name of the chess piece embossed on it. My son is going to go crazy when he sees all the figures on his cake! And then he'll have a really fun chess game to play when he's not playing with the figures. The only slight negative about this set is the board which folds into quarters and may have the potential to come apart with time.
Great Introduction to Chess February 21, 2010

My son found Super Mario Bros. Chess online and decided to buy it with his birthday money. The pieces are well made and sturdy. They are also clearly marked as to which type of piece they are: pawn,rook,queen,etc. I think using the Mario Bros. characters makes the game a little more fun to learn for younger kids. My son is 8 and he has been asking everyone to play chess with him since his game arrived. I think he would give it a two thumbs up and so do I.
