Originally shown in the [[Subspace Emissary]] trailer, '''Peach''' ({{ja|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]].
*Auto-Floating allows use of aerials at ground level, allowing for a highly-integrated ground and air game, and removing the need for dashing
*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 [[Vegetable|Turnips]] are useful projectiles, especially for edgeguarding.
*There is a chance of pulling a [[Bob-omb]] or [[Beam Sword]] when using [[Vegetable]].
*Down Smash and Up Smash are quick and have several powerful, high priority hits.
*Neutral attack 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.
*[[Vegetable|Turnips]] can be used over and over.
*Can [[Glide Toss]] her [[Vegetable|Turnips]].
 
===Cons:===
*Attacks lack range.
*[[Floaty]].
*[[Weight#Medium-Light|Medium-Lightweight]]
*Dash attack a little weak.
*Slow dash speed (4th slowest dash speed in the game).
*Killing aerial (Forward Aerial Crown Slap) is a little slow.
*Vertical recovery is rather poor as it is mainly used for horizontal recoveries.
*Attacks are on the weaker side.
*[[Parasol]] cannot ledge grab from the behind.
*Her [[Turnip]]s can be caught and used against her.
*Noticeable ending lag if you fail to connect with [[Peach Bomber]].
*Dies vertically at relatively low percents. 
*Difficult to KO characters at low percentages.
*Lacks easily connectible attacks that send at a low angle or straight up, making KOs difficult against players with good DI.
*Recovery is effective but slow, leaving her vulnerable to attack before landing.
 
==Changes from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]] to Brawl==
* Dash attack 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
* Can no longer [[Double jump cancel|float cancel]]
* Aerial movement speed has decreased, no longer in the Top 5 like it was in Melee
* Peach Bomber releases a cloud of hearts instead of an explosion (possibly a homage to ''Super Princess Peach'')
* Parasol design 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 Samantha Kelly voiced Peach in Brawl)
* New, carefree walk animation.
* Updated look from recent appearances
 
==Role in ''The [[Subspace Emissary]]''==
Peach and [[Princess Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]] both watched [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]] and [[Kirby (SSBB)|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 McCloud (SSBB)|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 (SSBB)|Link]] with a Dark Cannon, but Link/[[Pit (SSBB)|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 (SSBB)|Yoshi]]. Peach/Zelda is brought to the [[Halberd]] and imprisoned in a cage along with Zelda/Peach.
 
While infiltrating the Halberd, [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight]], [[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake (SSBB)|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 (SSBB)|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.
 
Meta Knight, 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 Lombardi (SSBB)|Falco]]. When Duon is defeated, the real [[Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)|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 [[Peach Parasol|parasol]] as a token of friendship.

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?''
