Peach (ピーチ, Pīchi) was confirmed to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 on September 12, 2013. This is a day before the anniversary of Super Mario Bros., the landmark game in which she debuted. She is among the first wave of compatible amiibo figures. Peach is voiced by Samantha Kelly, albeit seemingly with the same voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Changes from Brawl

While her moveset appears to be relatively unchanged, Peach has been notably buffed overall from Brawl to SSB4. Her ground game has been particularly improved thanks to her stronger smashes, faster Peach Bomber and tilts leading to many follow ups. Futhermore, her dash attack and back throw received significant knockback, filling out her lack of finishing moves, a prominent weakness she had in Brawl. Likewise, Peach's approaches from below are safer with the gain of a new up aerial. Visually, many new animations accompany her established attacks in the form of hearts, rainbows and magic sparkles.

• Running speed and air speed have been increased.
• Double jump has greater vertical height.
• Dash attack has been improved.

• The second hit deals more damage (6%, up from 4%).
• Its knockback has been immensely increased, being able to KO.

• Forward smash has been improved.

• Peach's numerous tools (frying pan, tennis racket and golf club) come out in a set order.
• Each one of them is stronger, dealing more damage and knockback.
• Peach performs a different pose when using them compared to previous games, slightly increasing their range.

• Up smash has been improved.

• Its range spreads further horizontally and vertically thanks to a new ribbon spawning around Peach.
• The sweet spot has been immensely increased and now covers most of the move's hitbox.

• Down smash has been improved.

• Its knockback has almost been entirely reverted back to its Melee form.
• It has a greater amount of possible hits (5, up from 4).
• It now has the ability to trap opponents into it, allowing each further hit to connect with very limited failure.
• However, each hit deals less damage (3%, down from 5%).

• A new up aerial has been granted to Peach. It generates a rainbow using a motion resembling Zelda's up tilt.

• It is faster and has greater reach, allowing Peach to approach opponents above her more safely.
• However, it has less knockback.

• Peach Bomber has been greatly improved.

• It now has the ability to hit an opponent's shield.
• It is much faster, with greatly reduced lag.
• However, it deals less damage (10%, down from 15%).

• Peach Parasol has been improved.

• It is faster and covers more vertical height.
• It has much stronger knockback, adding more KO potential to it through the upper blast line. It also improves Peach's chances of stage spiking an edge-guarding opponent.

• Vegetable has been worsened.

• Peach's means of approach with it are hindered by the loss of Glide tossing.
• The notorious "Stichface" turnip deals less damage (29%, down from 32%) and remarkably less knockback.
• It has more ending lag once a turnip (or item) is plucked.
• The previous nerf may be nullified through an advanced technique called "Instant Turnip Pull".

• Peach Blossom, Peach's Final Smash, has been worsened.

• It deals considerably less damage (maximum of 30%, down from 40%).
• Opponents standing away from Peach will no longer fall asleep.
• Opponents' sleep duration has been sharply decreased.
• It summons three huge peaches instead of many smaller ones. Each one heals 20%, up from 5%.
• Opponents in the air fall asleep as well, meaning those off the stage can easily be KOed.

• Forward tilt and up tilt received many changes.

• They deal less damage and knockback.
• Due to their reduced knockback, their potential to combo into other moves has been increased.
• In addition, they are a little faster.

• Forward aerial received many changes.

• It has been reverted to its Melee form in terms of damage and knockback.
• It has greater reach, allowing Peach to strike opponents above and under her as well.
• However, it is much slower.

Like Mario and Luigi, Peach's facial structure appears more as it does in the Super Mario franchise than it has in past installments. Additionally, her dress has been made more stylized and brighter in color. Her hair color appears to be lighter than it was in Brawl as well. The ring on her hand now has an opal gem that matches her other blue gems: the broach on her chest and the one on her crown. Also, her running animation is now based on her running animation from Super Mario 3D World. The underside of her skirt is now darkened, obscuring her undergarments. Like the other characters, Peach is also much more expressive.

Moveset

Ground attacks

Normal

• Neutral attack - Peach slaps the enemy twice.
• Dash attack - Peach extends both of her arms and quickly swipes them to her side, as if pushing.
• Forward tilt - Peach thrusts her leg upward in a 180˚ kick.
• Up tilt - Peach extends her hand upward and briefly generates a heart.
• Down tilt - A downward hand sweep to the ground.

Smash Attacks

• Forward smash - Peach strikes an opponent with one of three weapons:
  • A frying pan from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
  • A golf club from Mario Golf
  • A tennis racket from Mario Tennis
• These weapons now come out in a set order: frying pan, tennis racket, then golf club.
• Up Smash - Twirls around with arm raised, while ribbon appears around Peach.
• Down Smash - Spins dress around like a blade, slashing whoever gets caught in it.

Aerial attacks

• Forward aerial - Peach grabs the crown off her head and strikes with it.
• Back aerial - Peach thrusts her rear out behind her.
• Down aerial - A series of four downward kicks.
• Neutral aerial - Spins around with arms extended.
• Up aerial - Waves in the air with a rainbow.

Grabs and throws

• Forward throw - Peach winds up and slaps the opponent away.
• Back throw - Peach takes the opponent behind her, and knocks them away by thrusting her rear.
• Up throw - Puts opponent above her, and volleys him/her upward.
• Down throw - Sits on opponent.

Special Moves

In Super Smash Bros. 4, special moves can be swapped out for different variants, but Peach's have yet to be seen. Peach retains all of her original special moves and her Final Smash. These are Peach's special moves:

• Neutral Special: Toad: Peach equips her Toad Retainer as a shield. He absorbs the amount of damage from the attack and immediately releases it back.[1]
• Side Special: Peach Bomber: she propels herself forward by thrusting her hip. It seems to be significantly faster than in previous installments.
• Up Special: Peach Parasol: performs an upward jump and simultaneously pulls out her parasol, jabbing those above her in the process. It can then be used as a directional glide.
• Down Special: Vegetable: Peach plucks a turnip from the ground as she does in Super Mario Bros. 2. She can then throw it.

Custom Neutral Specials	Custom Side Specials	Custom Up Specials	Custom Down Specials
Grumpy Toad, unlike regular Toad, doesn't act like a counter. Instead, he releases spores to damage opponents when used.	Rising Peach Bomber's trajectory goes upward in addition of forward.	Super Parasol Jump greatly increases Peach's vertical recovery. However, she immediately closes her parasol afterwards, leaving herself helpless.	Heavy Vegetable takes longer to be pulled and may not be thrown as far as a regular turnip. In exchange, it deals considerably more damage and knockback.

Taunts

• Takes out and twirls her parasol. She says "sweet" as she does this.
• Dances in a taunting manner as little music notes flutter around her. She sings a little tune similar to "Ring Around the Rosie".
• Spins around once. She then winks and points with her index finger in a somewhat bent posture and says "Uh-huh!"

On-Screen Appearance

Appears spinning out of a shower of hearts, then winks and poses with her parasol saying "Hi!".

Victory Fanfare

A flourished remix directly from Brawl based on the sound clip that would play when Mario reaches the end of a level in Super Mario Bros. It is shared with Mario, Luigi, and Dr. Mario.

Trivia

• Ike, Lucario, Diddy Kong, Charizard, King Dedede, and Peach were the only returning characters confirmed before E3 2014 to not be playable in any demo version of Super Smash Bros. 4.
• As of version 1.0.1 of the 3DS version of the game, a bug exists where using Peach's Vegetable move in For Glory mode may rarely trigger an automatic ban for "dishonest play". It is unclear what the cause of the glitch is, but the main theories involve the player being flagged as having an illegitimate item. Nintendo has acknowledged the glitch and aims to patch the game to resolve the issue within one week of September 15th.
