Jigler's Mario 3 series -- World 2

This is a map of world #2 in the popular and awesome mario game:

Super Mario Bros 3.

The board is pretty self explanatory (look at the info bar at bottom of the board). For more info (if desired) see below. I took license and changed the map a bit for gameplay purposes.

STORY

After defeating Larry Koopa at World one, Mario's quest leads him into the desert of World 2. The lay of the land is quite different in the World and Mario must adjust to this hostile environment. Morton Koopa Jr. controls the desert castle, and he's big, mean, and ready to fight. Will Mario take advantage of the hidden area behind the boulder? Can he make it through this sweltering and deadly sandbox? The second stage in Mario's journey is upon us.

GAMEPLAY DETAILS

Spade defends with -2. Fortress defends and attacks with +1. Gate's one way attack is from the Gate to the space below, but you can still attack from the Gate up. Hammer Bro attacks with +1, but the defense of the Castle balances to make it a normal attack. Boulder has +2 defense. Castle defends and attacks with +1, but it attacks the levels at normal attack (and the Start is not a Level).
