Peach's Parasol[1] (also called Peach's Umbrella)[citation needed] is an object Princess Peach uses to defend herself and to glide in the air. In some games, it replaces and acts like how she uses her dress to glide. Baby Peach also uses this parasol.
History[edit]
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
Peach's parasol first appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, where it is used to sneak out of the Mushroom Castle by floating gently out the window; Mario is later shown using this parasol when Mallow is reunited with his mother and father by shielding himself from Mallow's emotion-generated rain. In the Nintendo Switch remake, this parasol is updated to its modern design, and it is used to form a large shield barrier in the Spare-Us-All Triple Move if Mario, Peach and Geno are in the party.
Peach can equip a separate one as a weapon, simply under the name Parasol. It is colored turquoise instead of pink, and is able to be purchased from the shop in Seaside Town after Speardovich is defeated. It has an attack power of 50 points, with a deviation of five points. Functionally, it is similar to a hammer, though instead of a second strike, it opens up when a Timed Hit is performed.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
- Main article: Peach Parasol (move)
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach uses a white parasol in her up special move, Peach Parasol. She can glide in the air with it and hit opponents. Peach also uses her parasol in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the same function and its current design, first used in Yoshi's Island DS. Peach also holds it in her up taunt and on-screen appearance as of Brawl, and in one of her victory poses as well as her official artwork in Ultimate. In The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Peach briefly carries the parasol around while strolling on the Halberd's deck, and later gives it to a just-restored Mr. Game & Watch shortly after scolding him.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy uses a parasol identical to Peach's, albeit reused from Peach's alternate color in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. She also holds it during her on-screen appearance.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
Peach uses a similar parasol in Super Mario Sunshine to protect her from the sunlight, and she is also seen floating down with it in the ending, similarly to how she uses it in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Peach's parasol makes an appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where if the player attempts to shoot Star Bits at or jump on the princess, she will use her parasol to guard.
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
Peach's parasol makes a small cameo in Super Mario 3D Land, where she whacks a Goomba Tower with it, as shown in the letter Mario gets before starting World 6. The sound effects indicate she obtains an extra life.
Super Mario Maker[edit]
Peach's parasol appears in Super Mario Maker when her costume is selected. It appears while she's jumping and when performing her unique pose.
Super Mario Run[edit]
In Super Mario Run, Peach is shown holding her parasol in her statue based on her appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and released during the event promoting the film. Peach holding her parasol as she appears in the film also serves as the icon for the "Stars Fall Upon the Mushroom Kingdom" set of missions in the event.
Super Princess Peach[edit]
The parasol Peach uses in Super Princess Peach actually has a mind of its own. It is implied in-game that this parasol was once a human being until two sorcerers' magic transformed him. She can whack enemies with him and give him various upgrades. Perry can even eat enemies to refill the Vibe Gauge.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
Baby Peach uses her parasol in Yoshi's Island DS, where it is her special move. Yoshi can improve his flutter jump with it, and makes it easy to ride winds. This game finalizes its design to somewhat resemble Peach's gown in early games, with a dome-like shape, fluffy rim, and heart-shaped handle tip.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Super Paper Mario[edit]
The parasol appears in Super Paper Mario, where Peach can use it to float and defend herself while crouching.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Peach can be seen holding the parasol when she first arrives at Port Prisma, along with in official artwork for the game. In the digital manual, when asked where she keeps the parasol, Peach claims that it is none of the viewer's business.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
In Paper Mario: The Origami King, Peach is seen holding her umbrella on two images that appear on the title screen. An illustration in the Graffiti Underground depicts Peach wielding her parasol, having used it to defeat Bowser. There are also more unused sprites of her holding it in the game's data.
Mario Kart series[edit]
- Main article: Peach Parasol (glider)
A glider based on Peach's Parasol, and itself called the Peach Parasol, appears in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour. It also changes color when playing as certain characters, such as Daisy, Rosalina or Funky Kong.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the parasol makes a cameo in the credits.
Mario Golf: World Tour[edit]
In Mario Golf: World Tour, Peach wields her parasol in her victory animation whenever she gets a Birdie or an Eagle. It is implied to be magical, as after waving her parasol around for a bit, she then swings it and has her miniskirt change into her trademark dress.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie[edit]
Peach's Parasol appears in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where Mario gifts it to her as a birthday present, the gift box printed with "New York" on the inside.[2] Peach then uses it as her weapon with which she travels across the galaxy and uses to fend off creatures such as the Ninjis.[3] It is later used by Mario and Peach to slow a fall while tricking a horde of Bob-ombs into walking into a lava pit, creating an updraft they use to escape Bowser Jr.'s obstacle course. Peach later attempts to use it to free Rosalina from the Boomsday Weapon, but it gets knocked away. After the weapon is destroyed, Mario recovers it and uses it briefly to withstand the wind gust generated by the parking Comet Observatory.
