White doesn't have a king left so no

The pawns just need to realize they're better of without a king and victory will be theirs.

Pawns of the board, unite

Immediate stalemate since white can't move

Um, acktually the pawns move left, looping around the board. Mate in 1

If it's black's move black can play for a stalemate, but can still lose.

Did the top pawn change into another pawn? Dumb move. When he's been taken then maybe the next one can change into a Queen or something.

Ehhh, it's pretty difficult, but White can pull it off. It's easier if White got the secret armor earlier in the game though

so long as the pawns keep their united front and don't fracture into factions
