The mustachioed marvel immediately jumped into action and sped off toward the fire. The moment he left her side, the princess vanished! Whos behind Princess Peachs disappearance? Whos behind the attack on Peachs Castle? Are the two incidents related? Didnt Bowser Jr. once think Princess Peach might be his mother? Looks like Marios going to need all the Mega Mushrooms he can find to get to the bottom of this mess! Bowser Jr.
