Superb indeed. I love this map. Only critical remark would be that there is certainly a sweet spot for the number of players. Too many and you could get shafted on a single territory bonus. Also, if you play a 2-player game, in many cases you will see the player who goes first have an immediate advantage. In spite of this, I still like this for a 2 player game! More people need to be rating this board higher.
Awesome tribute to one of my favorite player on ToS. this board originally inspired my Mario 3 series. Good board. :) looks great and plays well. love mario too.
I like the Mario map, but there really isn't much to it, strategy-wise. You don't really have a whole lot of viable options of where to go with your attacks.
