My experiences with LB has been nothing but positive. Here on the ‘Shroom, his submissions are always on time and of excellent quality. Over at the Poll Committee, he’s one of our most active and valuable members. I am certain that these qualities will be reflected when LB takes the wheel starting next month.

By becoming both Poll Committee Chairperson and Fun Stuff Director, both effective this month, Lord Bowser is the third consecutive Director to have held both positions simultaneously, after {{User|Palkia47}} and I. I’m reminded of the free time that I had during the peak of my productivity. While I unfortunately no longer have the luxury of available time any more, trust me when I say leading both the Poll Committee and Fun Stuff is the best any member can want – such leadership is a creative user’s dream. Lord Bowser, I’m sure you’ll have a blast!

I am honored to have lead this section of the ‘Shroom for a year and a half. Retiring from ‘Shroom and Poll Committee leadership on a single day feels strange. Although I look forward to devoting more time to studying and know both teams will continue forward strongly, I will miss the various teams I have worked with for the last two years.

''Find the Differences'' is absent this issue because {{User|Lord Bowser}} has been busy this month. {{User|Meta Knight}} will also be leaving Fun Stuff, concluding his popular and exceptionally drawn series of mazes. Thank you sincerely for continuously making them of such great quality!

That’s all I have to say. Amid new leadership, I enthusiastically look forward to seeing where this section heads to next.

Hello everyone, and welcome to this month's maze! I have an announcement: I am resigning from this section. It's been fun making mazes, but I have had trouble finding the time to work on this section due to real life measures, and other factors as well. I'm glad to have worked on it for so long, but that's what's going on. That being said, this month we have a request from {{User|Lakituthequick}}, who suggested to do a Basketball. I'm sure that you'll find a reason for it [<span class="plainlinks">[https://ltquick.nl/w59jBL0 https://ltquick.nl/w59jBL2.png]</span> Thanks for having fun with all the mazes, and I wish you the best.

==Find the Differences==
Written by: {{User|Lord Bowser}}
Greetings, 'Shroom readers. This is Lord Bowser here with a new edition of ''Find the Differences''!
Today's selected artwork comes from ''Mario Party Advance''. It's widely considered a mediocre game, but I must admit, its official artwork is lovely. Anywho, here's the original picture...
[[File:MPAart.jpg|1105px]]
...and here is the edited version.
[[File:Find the Differences 122.png|1105px]]
Good luck finding all 12 differences! Look below for answers, but no cheating! Thanks for playing, and be sure to come back here for another round next issue!

"Gumshoe, drop the donut, something terrible has happened! A thief has made off with Princess Peach's entire castle! And I don't mean the deed! The entire pink palace was plucked from the plains of the Mushroom Kingdom! Princess Peach and her subjects are beside themselves with grief. Who would do such a thing as to steal an entire castle? It isn't Bowser this time! We've tracked a lead to one of Carmen's henchmen, the Boo Bandit! It's up to you, gumshoe, to track him down and find out where he put the castle before it's too late! Start your search at the castle grounds, and good luck!"<span style="float:right;padding-right:10px;">{{#widget:YouTube|id=s1EIUP8tvbE|width=200}}</span>
"Ah, here's our new cadet. Gumshoe, welcome to the Acme Detective Agency! We're glad to have you on board. Recently, we've received word that the infamous femme fatale flicher Carmen Sandiego has had her eye on the treasures of the Marioverse, and we've assigned you to track her down and keep those precious gaming icons safe. It's a tough job, but I know you're up for it! Don't let ACME down!"
 
"Cadet, we have a big problem! One of Carmen Sandiego's horrible henchmen, Koopa Kon, has made off with a big prize: Wario's secret stash of garlic! The microgame maker is furious about the theft, and he wants us to track down the thief and get back his gigantic garlic haul. You'll find all the information we have about the case in your first clue below. Get to work, gumshoe!" <span style="float:right;padding-right:10px;"><youtube width="200">s1EIUP8tvbE</youtube></span>

"Congratulations for solving the case, gumshoe! The perfect crime- steal the castle and hide it in the World of Nothing, where no one would ever expect to see anything. He thought he'd gotten away with it, too, but not with our new detective on the case! Princess Peach sends her thanks for finding her castle, and we're sending you a new badge!
