Peach's Crown is a golden crown with red and blue jewels embedded in it. Princess Peach is almost always seen wearing it. Much like the Mario Cap, Peach's Crown has a significant role in Peach iconography, with one instance of it being that Peach's emblem depicts the crown.
Forms of Peach almost always wear Peach's Crown, with the only exception being Peach's Drill form. Alternate versions of Peach, like Mini Peach, Baby Peach, and Rabbid Peach, also always wear the crown, though Mini Peach's is simplified by not including the jewels.
Because Princess Peach appears with her crown in virtually every title she appears in, this article covers only particular appearances of the crown itself.
History[edit]
Super Mario (Valiant Comics)[edit]
In the Nintendo Comics System issue "Cloud Burst," Peach has lost her crown and needs it for her yearly recoronation, so she sends Mario and Luigi to retrieve it. She believes King Koopa to have stolen it as he is invading "World 3." In reality, it was stolen, along with King Koopa's crown, by a Lakitu, and the Mario Bros. eventually get it back for her.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Princess Toadstool loses her Crown during her wedding to Booster, and Mario has to find it. Mario eventually finds the Crown on top of Booster's head. Depending on how fast Mario finds this and two of Princess Toadstool's other items, he may receive a kiss from her (if he does it very slowly, Booster, Bowser, or even both may kiss him).
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi find Princess Peach's tiara[1] at the top of Thwomp Volcano after Bowser's attempt at kidnapping Princess Peach, who is actually Princess Shroob in a disguise, causes both of them to fall into a time hole. The quartet finding the tiara causes Stuffwell to conclude that Bowser and Princess Peach have fallen into the volcano's crater, Thwomp Caverns. All further appearances of Princess Shroob's Princess Peach disguise at Thwomp Caverns and the Shroob Mother Ship do not feature the tiara.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Peach's forward air attack is to take her crown and swipe downward with it before putting it back on. While slow, the attack is very powerful. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mii Fighters can wear Peach's Crown as one of the Headgear options. It includes a wig matching Peach's hair.
Other appearances[edit]
- In StreetPass Mii Plaza, Peach's Crown can be obtained as a Mii accessory.
- In Mario Sports Superstars, Peach's Crown also appears as a horse accessory.
- Throughout most of Super Mario Odyssey, Bowser forces Peach to wear Tiara, a living tiara he also kidnaps. Peach's normal crown is not seen for most of the game. After completing the game, Peach explores the world in various outfits with different kinds of hats. When she returns to the Mushroom Kingdom, she wears her standard dress and crown.
- In the Mario Kart series, the grandstand of Royal Raceway has a giant version of Peach's Crown on top of it. The Peach Mii Racing Suit includes Peach's Crown. In Mario Kart Tour, most of the alternate versions of Peach do not wear a crown, but Peach (Happi) and Peach (Halloween) do. Peach (Halloween) specifically wears her crown over a purple pointy hat.
- In the beginning of Princess Peach: Showtime!, Princess Peach is initially wearing her crown as normal, although the events caused by Grape and her Sour Bunch troupe's invasion of Sparkle Theater result in her crown flying out of the theater along with the Toads. It is later returned to her during the end credits.
