'''Princess Peach Toadstool''' ({{ja|ピーチ姫|Pīchi-hime}}, ''Princess Peach''), simply either '''Princess Peach''' or '''Princess Toadstool''' (depending on the era and region), or casually just '''Peach''' or the '''Princess''', is a character from the {{uv|Mario}} universe, and is usually seen as [[Mario]]'s damsel in distress and love interest. She has been known as "Princess Peach" since ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' (although the first time the name was used outside of Japan was in ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Safari}}''); prior to that, she was known as "Princess Toadstool" in Western territories.

Princess Peach has been a mainstream ''Mario'' character since her first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', in which Mario had to rescue her from the clutches of the evil [[Bowser]]. She usually takes on the role of the damsel-in-distress, though she has been known to help out Mario on several occasions. For example, in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Princess Peach}}'', it's her turn to save Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] from Bowser. She resides in [[Princess Peach's Castle|her castle]] along with many Toads, which are her loyal servants. Her first playable appearance, however, was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where she had to help save the dream world known as [[Subcon]] along with Mario, Luigi and Toad. She has also appeared in ''Mario'' spin-offs such as ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'', ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party|series}}'', ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Tennis|series}}'', and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Golf|series}}''. Peach also had a starring role in ''Super Mario 3D World'' as a playable character, where she, along with the Mario Bros. and Toad, travel to the Sprixie Kingdom to try and save the Sprixie Princesses from Bowser, who took over their kingdom.

She reprises her role as a playable character in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', this time having to save the Flower Kingdom after Bowser attacks it while she's on a visit there. A new game starring Peach, titled ''{{iw|mariowiki|Princess Peach: Showtime!}}'', has been announced to release in March of 2024.


Much like [[Bowser]], Peach has shown certain defining character traits depending on the game and adaptation. While many mainstream adaptations do not depict Peach with prominent character traits, some games such as ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' and the RPG spinoffs depict her as a wise ruler and the voice of reason among Mario's companions. ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}'', in fact, depicts Peach as an independent-minded and adventurous woman by having her defy the common trope of her and Mario sharing a romantic ending, as she chooses to go on adventures and see the world after her rescue rather than accept Mario's (or Bowser's) marriage proposal. Peach often shows a playful side, much like Mario himself, and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series builds on this by depicting her as flirtatious and "sassy" in her taunts and victory poses, finding amusement in battle and victory.

In ''Super Mario 64'' and the English version of ''Mario Kart 64'', Peach was voiced by now-former Nintendo of America localizer {{s|mariowiki|Leslie Swan}}, and in the Japanese version of the latter game and the first two ''Mario Party'' games, {{s|mariowiki|Asako Kozuki}} voiced Peach. Starting with ''Mario Golf'', {{s|mariowiki|Jen Taylor}} voiced Peach in majority of Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube titles, including ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. After {{s|mariowiki|Nicole Mills}} temporarily replaced Taylor in 2005, as well as a brief return of Leslie Swan in ''Super Paper Mario'', {{s|mariowiki|Samantha Kelly}} portrayed Peach in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', alongside recycled voice clips from ''Super Mario Strikers'' by Mills. Although some of Taylor's voice clips are used in later few games, Kelly has fully replaced the former as the voice actress of Peach as of ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

*In all of her ''Smash Bros.'' appearances, Peach is depicted with a blue-gemmed ring on her left middle finger. The only time she has ever been seen wearing a ring in the ''Mario'' series is [[mariowiki::File:M-ariosunshine719_gcn_art4-jpg.jpg|in ''Super Mario Sunshine'']], though even then, the ring is a different color (red) and worn on the opposite hand.

*In all ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments, Peach is more anatomically realistic than she is in the ''Mario'' series of games. Her head is a bit smaller and she is slightly taller than she normally is in the ''Mario'' series. This contrast can be seen when viewing her three trophies in ''Melee'', her trophies and stickers in ''Brawl'', Classic Mode trophies and her regular trophies from the ''Mario'' series (or their real-life [[amiibo]] equivalents) in ''Smash 4'', as well as the two versions of her Fighter Spirit in ''Ultimate''.

*Peach is the second oldest playable female character in the ''Super Smash Bros''. series after [[Nana]] (having debuted about 7 months earlier), having debuted in September 1985 ([[Princess Zelda]] would debut in Japan 5 months later).
*Peach and [[Samus Aran]] are the only female characters to have a [[clone]].
*Peach is the only ''Mario'' character to have a voice change between installments, switching from Jen Taylor to Samantha Kelly in ''SSBB''.
