Chibi Peach is the young version of Princess Peach when she went to kindergarten. As such, she resembles a smaller version of Peach, similar to the dressed-up version of Baby Peach but without a visible sclera and a pacifier. She appears in the "Time Traveler" storyline of the Super Mario Kodansha manga.
After robbing Dr. Mario Nakamatsu's of his Time Machine, Bowser travels to Mario's childhood and approaches Kindergartener Mario. Promising him a lollipop, he asks him to act rude against Chibi Luigi and Chibi Peach. By doing so, the two will grow up resenting him, and Mario will have no friends in the present to help him against Bowser. Mario, Luigi, and Peach chase Bowser with the Time Machine prototype, and witness the event. As Kindergartener Mario goes to take his reward, Bowser prepares to hit him in the head, but Mario stops him, and Bowser escapes, taking Chibi Peach with him as a hostage.
After crashing in the Jurassic Era, Bowser enslaves the Yoshis to build him a castle. He then comes up with the idea of convincing Chibi Peach to marry him in the near future. Initially, she claims she would prefer Mario or Luigi, but Bowser reminds her that Mario bullied her and that Luigi is weak. So, innocently, Chibi Peach agrees to marry him if he completes the castle. Unaware of this, Mario destroys the castle to free the Yoshis, forcing Bowser to flee to the Wild West era.
There, he takes advantage of Mario's ignorance to convince him to give up, or he will harm Chibi Peach. When Mario is escorted to Bowser's lair, he discovers in horror that Chibi Peach is on Bowser's side. Later, in the Edo Period, Bowser is able to finish building his castle, and Chibi Peach agrees to marry him when she grows up. Worried that she might reconsider her decision on this, Bowser tries to administer the 20-bai Spray, thinking this will make her grow to a legal (and curvy) age, but she instead grows in size, causing the destruction of the palace. During the confusion caused by the fight between the Mario team and Bowser, Peach tries to rescue her younger self, but she refuses and shoves Peach. The princess ends up fainting after bumping her head on a rock, allowing Bowser to kidnap her and flee to the future, angering Chibi Peach, who joins Mario and Luigi to scold her fiancé.
Powered up by the 5-bai Senbei, Chibi Peach destroys the wires in Bowser's presidential house as revenge for leaving her for an older woman. Mario then rescues her from Bowser's clutches and together with Peach takes the Time Machine to return her to her era, but Peach decides to stay, unable to leave the (fake) children she thinks she had with Bowser. Mario and Chibi Peach then take a detour to the Edo Period to make the Time Machine grow larger by the 20-bai Spray, allowing the machine to take the various Marios of all ages to the future to beat Bowser. Once the Koopa King is defeated, Chibi Peach returns to her era with Kindergartener Mario.
