Princess Peach (ピーチ姫, Pīchi-Hime), also known as Princess Toadstool, or just Peach, is a character from the Super Mario universe, and is usually seen as Mario's damsel in distress.
Character Description
Princess Peach, called Princess Toadstool in America at first, has been a mainstream "Super Mario" character since her first appearance in Super Mario Bros. She usually takes on the role of being the damsel in distress, though sometimes, she has been known to help out Mario. She was even the main protagonist in Super Princess Peach.
Peach's first appearance was in Super Mario Bros. in 1985 as the conventional damsel-in-distress for Mario to rescue from the clutches of Bowser (who wants to marry her so he can become the king of mushroom kingdom). Her first playable appearance was in Super Mario Bros. 2, along with Mario, Luigi, and Toad, as selectable characters.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a Playable Fighter
Peach appears as one of the 14 default characters available in Melee. She is considered by professional players to be amongst the best characters in the game and is fifth place in the current Tier list.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As a Playable Fighter
Peach returns as a veteran to Brawl. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from Melee, with a few minor enhancements and/or nerfs. Her Final Smash attack, Peach Blossom, involves her lulling all opponents to sleep.
As Collectible Trophies
Additionally, Peach appears as multiple trophies in the game:
Peach
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.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Princess Peach
Paper Peach
The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. With her sparkling crown and gorgeous blond hair, Peach always looks the part, even when flat as paper. Count Bleck kidnaps the princess and tries to force her to marry Bowser. While jumping, Peach can use a special umbrella technique that allows her to float down gently or reach otherwise inaccessible places.
- Paper Mario
- Super Paper Mario
Wedding Peach
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.
- Super Paper Mario
Solid Snake Codec Conversation
- 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.
- Snake: Sounds pretty serious...
- Mei Ling: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not look like you 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?
- Snake: If he was smart, he'd tell her to stop getting kidnapped.
- Mei Ling: ...You don't get a lot of dates, do you, Snake?
Trivia
- Peach was one of several characters considered during development to be playable in the original Super Smash Bros., but ultimately cut from the original roster due to constraints.
- You can change Peach's color to look like Daisy.
