Mario is Missing: Peach’s Untold Tale " is an indie fangame developed by Ivan Aedler. This project presents a scenario where the traditional roles of the Mushroom Kingdom are reversed: Mario has disappeared, and Princess Peach must take the lead to find him.

To save Luigi, Peach must travel through three “Silenced Zones” — areas where history has been rewritten — and restore the memories of lost heroes (including a forgotten Waluigi origin, a kindhearted Koopa general, and even a younger, braver Toadsworth). Each zone is a mix of stealth, puzzle-solving, and diplomacy — no jumping on enemies, but using her parasol, charm, and knowledge of kingdom lore.
