Mario's Picross/Gameplay

What is Picross?
Picross (Pick-Ross) is a puzzle game. Use the numbers as clues so you can scrape the correct squares and reveal the hidden picture.

(Note: This table is a rough representation) The clues above the columns are read from top to bottom. The clues to the left of the rows are read from left to right. Each individual number tells you how many consecutive squares need to be scraped. If there is more than one number, there will be at least 1 blank space between each of the scraped areas.

If you have figured out that a square should not be scraped, then mark it with an "x". Doing this can be crucial to your solving the puzzles.

When you have scraped all the squares that are supposed to be scraped, the hidden image is revealed. If your time runs out, then your game is over.

If you scrape an incorrect square, your remaining time will be reduced. Incorrectly placed "x"s don't cost you any time.
