Mario's Picross 2

Your goal is to reveal the hidden picture by correctly filling in squares on a grid. Each row and column has a series of numbers indicating the length of consecutive blocks that must be filled in.

Use logic to deduce which squares are part of the picture and which must be left empty. Mark empty squares with an X to avoid mistakes.

Start by looking for rows or columns with large numbers or numbers that span most of the grid, as these give strong clues. As you progress, use the process of elimination to cross-reference rows and columns, carefully marking squares to avoid contradictions.

In tense moments when you're stuck, double-check your X marks and look for rows where the possible positions for blocks are limited by the existing filled squares and X's. The game is a test of patience and logical reasoning, not speed, so take your time to analyze the clues.
