So is Peach the first name, and Toadstool the last? Peach Toad, Princess of the Mushrooms

I believe that somewhere along the timeline Bowser did in fact successfully kidnap the redheaded Princess Toadstool. He replaced her with a blonde bimbo named Peach and Mario never noticed the difference.

Thumbs up on this!

You’re the truth speaker. I can’t believe all these people have been fooled into thinking that it once in the 5 times she was kidnaped before Mario 64 that Bowser didn’t pull the old switcheroo. Maybe each time he has captured Peach since he is gathering detailed espionage info from offices of the highest level of the Mushroom Kingdom’s government. Koopaminati?

Actually, I was thinking that Bowser has been the real power in the mushroom kingdom for years, and he just uses Peach as a figurehead.  He has to occasionally "kidnap" Peach to make it seem like he is still losing.  In reality Peach is just a magikoopa in disguise that serves Bowser.
