Originally shown in the Subspace Emissary trailer, Peach (ピーチ, Pīchi)was later confirmed as a playable character on August 17. Her play style appears to be relatively unchanged, as she still possesses her floating ability, as well as her four distinct Special Moves. She has, however, been updated graphically to appear more realistic.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Can Float with her up B move.
- Between the float, her second jump, her parasol, and small contributions by the Peach Bomber and Toad, she has one of the longest and most versatile horizontal recoveries in the game.
- Her Turnips are useful projectiles, especially for edgeguarding.
- There is a chance of pulling a Bomb-omb or Beam Sword when using Vegetable.
- Down Smash and Up Smash are quick and have several powerful, high priority hits.
- Neutral A slap good for disrupting combos and grabs, as well as starting combos of her own
- Forward Aerial Crown Slap a great horizontal killer
- Peach Bomber has excellent range
- Turnips can be used over and over.
- Can preform glide tossing at any time. Glide tosses are tosses of items while in the middle of a roll-dodge. This results in a toss while invincible and sliding a good distance. Peach can do this as much as wanted because her turnips have item properties.
Cons:
- Attacks lack range
- Can be knocked around rather easily
- Dash attack a little weak
- Sluggish dash speed
- Killing aerial (Forward Aerial Crown Slap) a little slow, powered down slightly
- Midair jump gets almost no height.
- Vertical Recovery is rather poor as it is mainly used for horizontal recoveries.
- Not many killing options
Changes from Melee to Brawl
- Dash A does two hits
- Down Smash range decreased, no longer sucks in as easily
- Turnips disappear when they hit a shield or attack
- Larger chance of pulling a Beam Sword, Bob-omb, or Mr. Saturn when Vegetable is used
- Cannot float cancel
- Peach Bomber releases a cloud of hearts instead of an explosion (possibly a homage to Super Princess Peach)
- Parasol is from Super Paper Mario
- Second jump has become much shorter with lesser animations
- Peach Bomber covers more distance than in Melee
- Similar to the Peach Bomber, her up-tilt now releases a small cloud of hearts
- Parasol does more horizontal recovery
- Parasol and Toad can KO now
- Different Voice Actress. (Peach was voiced by Jen Taylor in Melee, while Nicole Mills voiced Peach in Brawl)
- New, carefree walk animation.
- Updated look from recent appearances
Role in the Subspace Emissary
Peach and Zelda both watched Mario and Kirby's match near the beginning of the Subspace Emissary. After the match is won, both Peach and Zelda run to their aid when the Subspace Army attacks. After defeating all of the Primids, the Ancient Minister appears, and drops a Subspace Bomb, which is quickly armed by two R.O.B.s. Mario is blasted away by a cannonball when he attempts to disarm the Subspace Bomb, while Peach and Zelda are both captured by Petey Piranha. At this point, it is up to the player to decide which one to save. In a cutscene, Kirby delivers a final blow to Petey Piranha, who then becomes engulfed in flames and explodes shortly after. Kirby and Peach/Zelda land safely away from the explosion. They turn to see Wario appear, his eyes on Zelda/Peach, who has been freed from her cage as well, but seems somewhat weak; she is also a little farther away from the others. Wario is carrying a device called a Dark Cannon, which he points at the tired Zelda/Peach, charges it up, and fires the blast. A black arrow extends from the device and hits Zelda/Peach in the chest, knocking her into the air. She is then turned into a trophy, which Wario takes and runs. Peach/Zelda and Kirby are shocked by this and begin to escape when Kirby sees the Subspace Bomb, which only has five seconds left. Kirby and Peach/Zelda take off as the bomb hits zero, and a blast of Subspace engulfs the stadium. Luckily, Kirby and Peach/Zelda escape on a Warp Star at the last minute. They fly through the air, pursued by the Halberd, before they are forced to land on it. Soon after, an Arwing (piloted by Fox) gets shot down, blowing Peach/Zelda and Kirby off the Halberd as it falls and onto the ground below.
Later, Peach/Zelda is attacked by Bowser, who transforms her into a trophy, and leaves a Shadowbug clone in her place. The clone attempts to shoot a passing Mario/Link with a Dark Cannon, but Link/Pit destroys the cannon and fights the clone with his partner. Unfortunately, Mario/Link sees the fake trophy of the princess dissolving at Link's/Mario's feet, and Mario and Pit faces off against Link and Yoshi. Peach/Zelda is brought to the Halberd and imprisoned in a cage along with Zelda/Peach.
While infiltrating the Halberd, Meta Knight, Lucario, and Snake enter a room where they find the princesses, but before they could save them, Shadowbugs engulf their trophies to create clones that attack the three. After restoring the princesses, Snake signals them to stay where they are while he and the others retake the ship. However, Peach and Zelda (as Sheik) strike out on their own to investigate the matter themselves. They make their way to the Halberd's top deck, just as Fox attacks the ship, again in his Arwing. Peach calmly walks in during the fire-fight with her parasol, but when some of the Arwing's blasters nearly hits her, Sheik forces Fox to eject by breaking through the cockpit. As the two begin to fight, Peach stops them by offering them tea, which they both accept.
Metaknight, Snake, and Lucario discover that the Halberd is being piloted by Mr. Game & Watch clones, which Snake knocks out the window and onto the deck below. The clones revert into Shadowbugs, which transform into a boss named Duon. Fortunately, Peach, Sheik, and Fox are joined by Snake and Lucario, along with Falco. When Duon is defeated, the real Mr. Game & Watch's trophy is left behind as the Shadowbugs float away. Fox prepares to blast the trophy, but Peach casually walks over and revives him, scolding him when he awakes. Peach then gives him her parasol as a token of friendship.

Special Moves
Snake’s Codec Message
Snake: Mei Ling, tell me what you know about Peach.
Mei Ling: Princess Peach is the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She’s been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser.
S: Sounds pretty serious...
M: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not look like your ideal “knight in shining armor.” A little on the short side, I’d say... But still, don’t you think it’s romantic? I mean, to have a guy who’s always there for you?
S: If he was smart, he’d tell her to stop getting kidnapped.
M: ... You don’t get a lot of dates, do you, Snake?
Special Movements
Taunts
Up: Takes her parasol out and spins it, saying "Sweet".
Side: Sings and dances while holding her dress, and musical notes appear.
Down: Spins around, winks, points, bends a little and says "Uh-huh!".
On-Screen Appearance
Appears spinning with her parasol, and says "Hi!"
Victory Pose
- Spins and waves to the screen, saying "Oh, did I win?"
- Swings her arm out and puts it behind her, saying "Peachy!"
- Turns to her left and says "This is fun!"
Wii Remote Choice
Says "Sweet". Sounds similar to her Melee taunt then her Brawl.
