Rīchi-hime
Species	Magikoopa disguised as a human
Appears in	Super Mario Kodansha manga (Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 5) (1992)

Rīchi, Peach, Wendy, and other girls participating in the yukata competition.

Rīchi-hime is an identity Magikoopa takes to trick Princess Peach to join a trapped yukata competition in Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 5 of the Super Mario Kodansha manga. He takes the form of Peach's lookalike, differentiating from her thanks to the wizard hat, the glasses, and the fangs.

During a Bon Odori, Bowser and Magikoopa set up a trap: sure that Peach will join the yukata competition and will win it, they tied the trophy cup to Fishin' Lakitu's hook so that she can be easily kidnapped. Their plan is put in jeopardy when Peach reveals she does not want to join. To remedy that, Magikoopa turns into Peach's lookalike and signs her name in the competition. When Peach is called to the stage, she blames her copy of doing this, but Magikoopa saves it stating that her name is "Rīchi" and cannot be blamed if people accidentally called for "Peach". Annoyed, Peach is pressured to join the competition with Rīchi, but due to Wendy bribing the judges, the trap still fails as the Koopaling gets to hold the cup and gets snatched by Lakitu.

• This is the first time a Magikoopa dresses up as Peach. Years later, Kamek would also disguise as Peach in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and in The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
