How about this?: Pirahna plants can emerge from Warp pipes, pieces which cannot move on their own but work in pairs like teleporters and can be carried similarly to shy guys; the pirahna plants could move like a king to any square within a 2-square radius of the pipe and would come along if the pipe were moved while it was outside. Promotes to Venus Fire Trap which has rifle capture. It cannot be captured when it returns to the pipe (and obviously doesn't warp). Bullet Bills move like rooks in the direction they are fired from a bullet bill launcher, which are similar to warp pipes but uncapturable and unable to work as teleporters. Bills may or may not be subject to Momentum Chess rules and there could be limits on how many can be on the board at one time and I'd guess no double Bills (only one bill on one file/rank going vertically/horizontally respectively), esp. if momentum doesn't apply. If Banzai Bills are desired they could be the same except take up a 2x2 square. Boos could be mobile (if not quite as much as lakitus) and can ignore all pieces in their path but cannot move if threatened by an enemy (and maybe even a friend). Probably cannot be captured by replacement as in originals.
Idea for moving pipe and bill launcher is from the fangame SMBX where there are versions of those which can be used by the player; perhaps if you decide to later make a 'Great Mario Chess' with more pieces one could try to include things like Bowser, Water (and of course then cheep-cheeps, bloopers, maybe frog suit), buzzy beetles (koopas but can't be fire-flowered), and many more...
