Puzzler: Super Mario Maze

Can you help Mario find his way to the pipe? Normal Super Mario Bros. conventions apply here: the only safe things for Mario to jump on are the Koopas (the green turtles, for you Mario haters.) Mario can jump over the other hazardous enemies, but he can't land on them. Also, for reasons known only to cartoon Italian plumbers, Mario can only jump three spaces horizontally and vertically (no more and no less) and exactly two spaces diagonally within the confines of this puzzle. If you find yourself running short on time, head over to page two for the solution.

I thought it was easy because I didn't understand the restriction of *only* 3 and 2.



But it's a good puzzle!

I don't think I'm going to try this one -- it looks hard! But it's a brilliant concept. Bravo.

Shoe - Hey, at least I didn't say that Mario could only move like a knight in chess. _That_ would have been a lot more difficult.

There's a shorter solution: up-up-up-downright-downright-up-downright-up-right. 9 moves. Cheers. (Wanted to add A-B-A-B, but that didn't actually do anything ;-)

I found a shortcut, too. Either that, or I'm not doing it right. :)

Yeah, I didn't understand the restriction and thought I was all sorts of smart for solving it in 5 seconds. In my world of no rules, I totally rocked this puzzle!
