You may have noticed that out of the last five supersized puzzles (including this one), three of them have been from me. Which may spell trouble if you like your supersizes mellow.

Don't worry, I haven't bribed the GAPP team to rig things this way. We hope to see larger-than-lifeusual puzzles from all of our wonderful setters soon as we get back on normal schedule. Here is a Supersized Mochikoro!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells are rectangular. The unshaded rectangles must all be connected diagonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of cells in the unshaded area they belong to. An unshaded area of cells cannot contain more than one clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
