Peachette is a form of Toadette, attained by using the Super Crown in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Peachette is a lookalike of Princess Peach, but with a different outfit based on Toadette's usual appearance. A video on the Play Nintendo YouTube channel even erroneously refers to Peachette as "Princess Peach".[1] Peachette was voiced by the same voice actress as Peach and Toadette, Samantha Kelly.

HistoryEdit

New Super Mario Bros. U DeluxeEdit

 
Peachette appearing after obtaining the Super Crown to transform into her.

Peachette first appears in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Transforming into Peachette has an unique animation where she twirls with pink ribbon effects, followed by an explosion of pink stars. In this form, Toadette can fall slower by using Peach's Floating Jump from Super Mario Run. It creates pink star effects as she travels. She is also able to Double Jump in midair, creating a blast of clouds and pink star effects when she does so. After using the Double Jump, Peachette is forced into a slow glide that lacks pink star effects until she lands on the ground or stomps an enemy. She can still Ground Pound in this state. Peachette's Spin Jumps go higher than regular jumps, rather than lower than regular jumps as the Spin Jump normally works. Peachette gets boosted out of any pits, lava, or poison that she falls into, with an identical animation to her Double Jump, though only once. If she tries to do this twice in a row, she instead falls into the hazard and loses a life.

Peachette's voice occasionally reverts to Toadette's when performing a Triple Jump, causing Peachette to clear her throat.[2] If solo Peachette defeats Bowser's first form in The Final Battle, the real Peach, upon seeing Peachette, will act confused and say, "What?"

Peachette's abilities are similar to the Flying Squirrel form's abilities, a comparison bolstered by the Super Crown taking the place of most Super Acorns in courses while Toadette is being used. They differ in that the Floating Jump falls slower than gliding in Flying Squirrel form, the Double Jump has more freedom in movement than the Flying Squirrel Jump but lacks the Flying Squirrel Jump's forward momentum, and Peachette cannot cling to walls while the Flying Squirrel form can.

Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

Peachette is a primary spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, added in the version 3.1.0 update. In the corresponding spirit battle, the player has to defeat Peach, Mario, Luigi (in their default costumes), and a Mii Brawler dressed as Toad on Mushroom Kingdom U within one minute under the effects of low gravity and a higher launch rate. She was accidentally revealed a week earlier on May 21.[3][4]

Mario Kart seriesEdit

Mario Kart TourEdit

 
Peachette as she appears in Mario Kart Tour.

Peachette is playable in Mario Kart Tour (marking her debut in the Mario Kart series), as a separate character from Toadette. She is one of three characters that can be played for the tutorial, with the other two being Toad and Toadette; if Peachette is not obtained here, she is available as an unlockable High-End character instead. Her special skill is the Mushroom Cannon. Like most characters, she has her own cup.

Peachette's voice was given a major change in this game. Originally, in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, her voice sounded exactly like Peach; this time, her voice is a unique mixture of both Peach and Toadette. She is the only character in the game that has unique voice clips in Frenzy mode.

Mario Kart 8 DeluxeEdit

Peachette was added to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a playable character through the sixth and final wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC, alongside Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Pauline. Peachette also has a new alternate racing variant of her outfit when using bikes and ATVs, similar to Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Pauline. She is a middleweight character, sharing statistics with Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, and Birdo. As Peachette is a form of Toadette, she has the same CPU vehicle parts and rivals, and will not appear as a CPU if the latter is present in the race and vice versa, although both appear in the photo that appears at the end of the credits for the Booster Course Pass. Her horn sound is a combination of Toadette’s and Peach's horn sounds. She is also the only playable character to be introduced in the final wave whose rival is not Donkey Kong.

AppearanceEdit

Peachette bears a striking resemblance to Peach, only with several differences in her attire. Her face features are identical to Peach's, with the differences being gray eyes as opposed to blue, and her hair tied into round pigtails like those of Toadette's; she also wears the same gloves and earrings as Peach, though the latter are red instead of blue. The top part of her dress is similar to Peach's, but it is lighter in color and has a large magenta bow on the front with a golden brooch. The lower portion of her dress had a different design compared to Peach's, having a three frill bottom rather than a single pannier. She wears white tights and heeled brown shoes with round toes.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Peachette wears a new alternate racing variant of her outfit when using bikes and ATVs, similar to Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Pauline's racing suits. Instead of it being an actual racing suit, this outfit replaces the skirt of her dress with puffy shorts that have light pink spots. She wears pink racing boots with darker pink stripes on the sides and soles, white edges on the top and near the soles, high heels and rounded toes.
