==Character description==

{{incomplete}}

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]]. Her first playable appearance, however, was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where she had to help save the dream land called [[Subcon]] along with Mario, Luigi and Toad.

==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==

While Peach is briefly mentioned in {{SSB|Mario}}'s biography, and one of the stages is [[Peach's Castle]], she physically does not appear in the game in any capacity. A popular rumor claims she was planned to be playable in the game along with [[Bowser]], [[King Dedede]], [[Mewtwo]], and many other characters, before being cut for space/time constraints. However, unlike the aforementioned three characters, no definitive official source has ever been found that proves Peach was ever planned to be included as a playable character.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

[[File:Peach SSBM.jpg|thumb|left|100px|{{SSBM|Peach}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'']]

Peach appears as one of the fifteen default characters available in ''Melee''. She is based on her early appearance from the Nintendo 64 era, notably ''Super Mario 64''. Peach is considered by professional players to be amongst the best characters in the game, and so is sixth place in the current [[Tier]] list.

As a playable character, Peach has three trophies, each available by defeating {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, [[Adventure]] and [[All-Star]] modes. Her main trophy, obtained by clearing Classic mode, reads as follows:

'''Peach'''<br>

''Princess Peach presides over the Mushroom Kingdom from her huge castle. Her loyal subject Toad does his best to protect her but always seems to fail spectacularly. Besides her royal duties, Peach is interested in both tennis and golf; since she's so magnanimous, she'll even deign to play a few matches with the evil Bowser.''

Peach returns as a veteran to ''Brawl'', with a design based on her recent appearance elsewhere, notably ''Super Mario Sunshine'', ''Mario Party 4'', ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from ''Melee'', with a few minor [[buff|enhancements]] and [[nerf]]s. Her [[Final Smash]] attack, [[Peach Blossom]], involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep and deals damage as well. Samantha Kelly, her current voice actress voices Peach.

Peach suffered quite a large [[nerf]] from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', but is still ranked average (19th on the [[tier list]] in C- tier).

'''Peach'''<br>

''The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Her long blond hair is a perfect match for her pink dress. Regardless of the number of Toad retainers she has, she's often kidnapped by Bowser. Though she's usually the damsel in distress, she got a starring role in Super Princess Peach, where it was her turn to rescue Mario and Luigi.''

'''Wedding Peach'''<br>

''The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom adorned in a pure white wedding dress rather than her usual pink one. Peach also has her long blond hair drawn up in a ponytail. And who might she be marrying? Bowser of all people, who was also forced into the marriage by the scandalous Count Bleck. Brainwashed by Nastasia, Peach is even forced into giving her vows.''

==In ''Super Smash Bros. 4''==

Peach was confirmed to be playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' on September 12, 2013. She is the third female character to be announced for the game after Samus and Wii Fit Trainer. Her facial structure appears more similar to her home series than past ''Smash Bros.'' appearances and her dress has been made more stylized and less detailed. Her hair is also lighter and more brightly-shaded. She now has new attack effects, such as a ribbon swirling around her during her up smash. Like Mario, Luigi and Bowser, her design is based on her appearance from recent ''Mario'' games such as ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Mario Kart 8''.

Peach was buffed overall in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Her ground game has been improved thanks to stronger smashes and a faster [[Peach Bomber]]. Her forward aerial, dash attack, and back throw were also given more knockback, granting better KO options. However, her [[Vegetable]] special was moderately nerfed, as they take longer to pluck, weakening her [[projectile]] game. Her slow movement speed also gives her a disadvantage against fast characters, and her light [[weight]] and floatiness makes her easy to launch. Nonetheless, Peach ranks 21st out of 58 on the [[tier list]] in B tier. While viewed as a solid pick for competitive play, she lacks noteworthy tournament results to speak of, even with her few dedicated players.

:{{flag|North America}} ''Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach continues to prove that "powerful" and "cute" are not mutually exclusive. In Smash Bros., Peach uses her dress to float above the fray, suddenly descending and attacking with numerous weapons. A frying pan? Umbrella? TOAD?! Where does she keep it all?''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''The Mushroom Kingdom's princess isn't just a pretty face - she's also strong and crafty. She can dodge attacks by gliding through the air, and she's hiding all sorts of stuff under that dress: a frying pan, a tennis, a golf club...even a Toad! If you're planning to take on Peach, just know that she's more than ready for you!''

'''Peach (Alt.)'''

:{{flag|North America}} ''Peach may be a princess, but that doesn't mean she shies away from an honest day's work. Her down special Vegetable is basically farm labor, and the fruits...er, vegetables of her work can be thrown. An angry-looking vegetable will do extra damage, too! She can also pull up Bob-ombs, or even a Mr. Saturn!''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''Peach normally sticks to tasks befitting a royal, but her Vegetable special is pretty much farm labour! You can tell how much damage the veggies will do by looking a them. Happy/indifferent ones just do a bit, while the ones that just look sick of life do a lot. And the ones that look like Bob-ombs or Mr. Saturn aren't veggies at all!''

{{Trophy games|console1=NES|game1=Super Mario Bros. 10/1985|console2=DS|game2=[[supermariowiki:Super Princess Peach|Super Princess Peach]] 02/2006}}

'''{{flag|North America}}Peach + Birthday Girl'''<br>'''{{flag|Europe}}Peach + Royal Ribbon'''

:{{flag|North America}} ''Princess Peach, where are you off to with that pink parasol? A day at the beach? More like a day at the races! Her tough and unconventional karts are ready, and she wants to take the checkered flag. Expect to see Peach win and be elegant at the same time.''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''The next race is about to start, but who's going to come out on top? Will it be Peach, with her lovely Peach Parasol? She's customised her kart to be both tough AND cute, because she's not just aiming to win - she's aiming to win in style!''

'''{{flag|North America}}Peach + Daytripper'''<br>'''{{flag|Europe}}Peach + Royal Racer'''

:''You may think it doesn't look like a racer. You may think it would look more at home on a carousel. But Peach will have the last laugh as she sails past the finish line, leaving you in the dust. The Daytripper's{{flag|North America}}/Royal Racer's{{flag|Europe}} great handling lets it breeze through even the trickiest of courses--and what it lacks in speed, it makes up for in acceleration.''

{{Trophy games|console1=Wii|game1=Mario Kart Wii 04/2008}}

:{{flag|North America}} ''Princess Peach is cute to begin with, and she only gets cuter as a baby. Unlike Princess Peach, Baby Peach is more fond of her pink binky than of conversation. Despite this lack of communication, she makes for a great partner in sporting events!''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''Princess Peach is always cute, but as a baby, she's even cuter! And that crown on her head isn't a giant crown - it's just that every bit of her is teeny tiny! Still, she's not the kind to stay tied to her mum's apron strings - she's out there playing sports and keeping active with the best of them!''

'''Paper Peach'''

:{{flag|North America}} ''Usually the Sticker Fest, sponsored by Princess Peach, is held without a problem. However, one year Bowser shows up to steal the Royal Stickers and ends up peeling off with Princess Peach! With your help, Mario must set out to stick things back in their proper place!''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''Princess Peach is holding the Mushroom Kingdom's annual Sticker Fest to celebrate the Sticker Comet's arrival from the night sky, when Bowser turns up and totally wrecks EVERYTHING! Where's Peach been carried off to? And who's going to get her out of this sticky situation?''

'''Peach (Baseball)'''

:{{flag|North America}} ''The thought of yet another kidnapping is never far from Peach's mind, but in Mario Super Sluggers, she gets a nice break to just focus on the game. As the leader of the Peach Monarchs, she shows off her skills with her Star Swing, Heart Swing, drawing a heart in the air to distract the fielders.''

:{{flag|Europe}} ''It's hard work getting kidnapped all the time, so it's good to see that Peach can take some time off from it to enjoy a bit of American cricket. As captain of the Peach Monarchs, she shows her skills with her special Heart Swing, drawing a heart in the air to try and distract the fielders trying to catch the ball.''
