[[File:MarioSymbol.png|50px|left]]'''Princess Peach''' ({{ja|ピーチ姫}}, ''Pīchi-Hime''), also known as '''Princess Toadstool''', or just '''Peach''', is a character from the [[Mario (universe)|''Super Mario'' universe]], and is usually seen as [[Mario]]'s damsel in distress. In 1985, Peach was known as "Princess Toadstool" outside of Japan, and she has been known as "Princess Peach" since ''Yoshi's Safari'' & ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
'''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.


==Character Description==
==Origin==
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 occasion. For example, in ''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.
[[File:Peach MP3 official artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Official artwork of Princess Peach from ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Party 3}}''. This appearance inspired her design for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.]]
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!}}'', released in March of 2024.


==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
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. ''Princess Peach: Showtime'' revealed that Peach has a fondness for the theatrical and is proficient in many professions and combat styles, though these skills being genuine or simply acting is up to interpretation.
===As a Playable Fighter===
 
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 Smash Bros.]]''==
While Peach is briefly mentioned in {{SSB|Mario}}'s biography, and one of the stages is [[Peach's Castle]], which features the stained glass portrait of her in the background as it appears in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', 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]], [[Marth]], and many other characters, before being cut for space/time constraints. However, unlike the aforementioned four characters, no definitive official source has ever been found that proves Peach was ever planned to be included as a playable character.
 
In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Peach placed second with 66 votes, just below Bowser (169 votes).<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html</ref>

Peach appears as one of the fifteen starter characters available in ''Melee''. She is based on her early appearance from the Nintendo 64 era, notably ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Mario Party'', even though her dress has a mostly unique design. Her neutral special {{b|Toad|move}} is a counterattack, her side special [[Peach Bomber]] is a butt bash that can produce a fiery explosion and can also be used repeatedly in the air, her up special [[Peach Parasol]] is a recovery move that allows for a slow descent after it is used, and her down special [[Vegetable]] has Peach pull out a turnip, with its facial expression denoting its power. The turnip's power is determined at random, and Peach even has a chance to pluck a [[Bob-omb]] or a [[Mr. Saturn]] from the ground. Peach can also briefly float in the air by holding the jump button down. Peach is considered by professional players to be amongst the best characters in the game, and so is placed sixth on the current [[Tier]] list.

Peach returns as a veteran to ''Brawl'', with a design based on her recent appearance elsewhere. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from ''Melee'', with a few minor [[buff|enhancements]] and/or [[nerf]]s. Her [[Final Smash]] attack, [[Peach Blossom]], involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep and deals damage as well.
Peach returns as a veteran in ''Brawl'', with her design now based on her recent appearances in the ''Mario'' series, starting with ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''Mario Party 4''. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from ''Melee'', with a few minor [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s. Her new [[Final Smash]] attack, [[Peach Blossom]], involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep while dealing damage as well. Samantha Kelly, her voice actress at the time of the release of ''Brawl'', now voices Peach.
 
Peach suffered quite a large nerf from ''Melee'' to ''Brawl'', but is still ranked average, at 19th place on the [[tier list]] in C- tier.

[[File:Peach SSB4.png|thumb|Peach, as she appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.]]
Peach was confirmed to be playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' on September 12, 2013. She was 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 her 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 at the time of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s release, such as ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''.
 
Peach was buffed overall in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Her ground game has been improved thanks to stronger smash attacks 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 20th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], at the bottom of the 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.

Princess Peach Toadstool (ピーチ姫, 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 Mario universe, and is usually seen as Mario's damsel in distress and love interest. She has been known as "Princess Peach" since Super Mario 64 (although the first time the name was used outside of Japan was in Yoshi's Safari); prior to that, she was known as "Princess Toadstool" in Western territories.

Origin[edit]

Official artwork of Princess Peach from Mario Party 3. This appearance inspired her design for Super Smash Bros. Melee.

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 Super Princess Peach, it's her turn to save Mario, Luigi and Toad from Bowser. She resides in 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 Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, and Mario Golf. 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 Princess Peach: Showtime!, released 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 media such as Super Mario 64, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and the RPG spinoffs depict her as a wise ruler and the voice of reason among Mario's companions. 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. Princess Peach: Showtime revealed that Peach has a fondness for the theatrical and is proficient in many professions and combat styles, though these skills being genuine or simply acting is up to interpretation.

In Super Mario 64 and the English version of Mario Kart 64, Peach was voiced by now-former Nintendo of America localizer Leslie Swan, and in the Japanese version of the latter game and the first two Mario Party games, Asako Kozuki voiced Peach. Starting with Mario Golf, Jen Taylor voiced Peach in majority of Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube titles, including Super Smash Bros. Melee. After Nicole Mills temporarily replaced Taylor in 2005, as well as a brief return of Leslie Swan in Super Paper Mario, 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 Smash Bros.[edit]

While Peach is briefly mentioned in Mario's biography, and one of the stages is Peach's Castle, which features the stained glass portrait of her in the background as it appears in Super Mario 64, 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, Marth, and many other characters, before being cut for space/time constraints. However, unlike the aforementioned four characters, no definitive official source has ever been found that proves Peach was ever planned to be included as a playable character.

In an official poll held on Smabura-Ken (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Peach placed second with 66 votes, just below Bowser (169 votes).[1]

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Peach (SSBM)
Peach in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Peach appears as one of the fifteen starter characters available in Melee. She is based on her early appearance from the Nintendo 64 era, notably Super Mario 64 and Mario Party, even though her dress has a mostly unique design. Her neutral special Toad is a counterattack, her side special Peach Bomber is a butt bash that can produce a fiery explosion and can also be used repeatedly in the air, her up special Peach Parasol is a recovery move that allows for a slow descent after it is used, and her down special Vegetable has Peach pull out a turnip, with its facial expression denoting its power. The turnip's power is determined at random, and Peach even has a chance to pluck a Bob-omb or a Mr. Saturn from the ground. Peach can also briefly float in the air by holding the jump button down. Peach is considered by professional players to be amongst the best characters in the game, and so is placed sixth on the current Tier list.

Trophies[edit]

Main article: List of SSBM trophies (Super Mario Bros. series)

As a playable character, Peach has three trophies, each available by defeating Classic Mode, Adventure and All-Star modes. Her Classic trophy uses her Nintendo 64 era design.

Peach's Classic Mode trophy in Melee
Peach
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.
Super Mario Bros. (10/85)
Peach's Adventure Mode trophy in Melee
Peach SMASH
Peach's ability to float is invaluable in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as she can return from incredible distances. Balancing this talent, though, is the fact that she's quite light and therefore can be sent flying with a single powerful attack. Her attacks are fairly weak, so you'll have to hang around to win.
B: Toad
Smash B: Peach Bomber
Peach's All-Star Mode trophy in Melee
Peach SMASH
Peach's Smash A attack will set her swinging with either a frying pan, tennis racket, or golf club. These bludgeoning devices appear randomly and have different reaches and power levels. The princess uses Toad to absorb attacks, and he counters by sending spores out at attackers. Don't worry about the little guy, though; he takes his job seriously.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Peach (SSBB)
Peach as she appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Peach returns as a veteran in Brawl, with her design now based on her recent appearances in the Mario series, starting with Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Party 4. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from Melee, with a few minor buffs and nerfs. Her new Final Smash attack, Peach Blossom, involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep while dealing damage as well. Samantha Kelly, her voice actress at the time of the release of Brawl, now voices Peach.

Peach suffered quite a large nerf from Melee to Brawl, but is still ranked average, at 19th place on the tier list in C- tier.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Peach (SSB4)
Peach, as she appears in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Peach was confirmed to be playable in Super Smash Bros. 4 on September 12, 2013. She was 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 her 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 at the time of Smash 4's release, such as Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World.

Peach was buffed overall in the transition from Brawl to SSB4. Her ground game has been improved thanks to stronger smash attacks 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 20th out of 55 on the tier list, at the bottom of the 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.

A Peach wig is also available as a headgear for all Mii Fighter types.

PAL 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!

NTSC Peach brings an elegance and grace to tennis that her opponents are hard-pressed to match. Her skills with a racket can put the ball right where she wants it. How she and Baby Peach can play against each other without destroying space-time is the real question.
PAL Peach is so graceful with a racket in her hand, you'd think she was princess of the Tennis Kingdom! She specialises in aiming her shots at the very edge of the court, and it seems she has no problem playing alongside Baby Peach, even if that does raise a few space-time continuum issues.
