Welcome to Missing in Action, where we take a look back at game elements that have gone missing! And it's been almost 10 years since Shadow Mario last made a brand new appearance! Has Bowser Jr retired his alter ego? Join us as we shine a searchlight on this forgotten doppelganger and explore his story, from Super Mario Sunshine to his role as a Final Smash, to the variety of enemies he's inspired across the series! #shadowmario #nintendo #supermario
