What Happened to the Mouse?/Newspaper Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • A mid-story issue of the Super Mario Adventures comic strip, which ran in Nintendo Power during 1992, featured this. Toad uses a Cape Feather to fly up to a pipe sticking out of a cloud (allegedly the one Mario and Luigi entered at the beginning of the story to unknowingly wind up in Dinosaur Land), and gets "help" -- which is actually Bowser's Koopa Troop in disguise (the cloud was actually a disguised airship). After the Princess gets kidnapped, Toad is shown being held hostage by two Koopas, tells her that the Koopas have taken over the Mushroom Kingdom, and is then never seen or mentioned again for the remainder of the comic.
