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.

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 media such as ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|The Super Mario Bros. Movie}}'', 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 | Much like [[Bowser]], Peach has shown certain defining character traits depending on the game and adaptation.

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 ''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.
