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.

But chain chomp is kind of also an enemy, right?

Chain Chomp are neutral, Peach has a pet Chain Chomp in MK3.

Peach guest staring in Mortal Kombat 3 was one of the most wild crossovers. The fatality with that chain chomp was gruesome.

Ah yes I was thinking they might have been but I couldn't think of any examples.
