This article is about the Nintendo DS game. For other uses, see Super Peach (disambiguation).

Super Princess Peach is a 2D platformer game for the Nintendo DS. In this game, the characters' traditional roles in the Super Mario series are reversed: rather than Mario and Luigi being the protagonists and rescuing Princess Peach, it is Mario, Luigi, and the Toads who are kidnapped and taken to Vibe Island by Bowser, who has stolen the Vibe Scepter, a magical item capable of influencing emotions, leaving Princess Peach to rescue them as the main protagonist. To accomplish this, she befriends an anthropomorphic umbrella, Perry, and uses her own powers of emotion. This is the first game on a dedicated console in the Super Mario franchise in which Peach is the sole main protagonist, with the first overall being Princess Toadstool's Castle Run. This would also be Peach's only other starring role in a game until 2024's Princess Peach: Showtime!, 18 years later.

Story[edit]

Mario, Luigi, and Toad are kidnapped and imprisoned.

Bowser hears of a legendary emotion-controlling artifact called the Vibe Scepter, hidden on an island near the Mushroom Kingdom called Vibe Island, and builds a summer getaway home there in hopes of using it to his advantage. After his second-in-command, Army Hammer Bro, finds the Scepter for him, Bowser hatches a plan to capture the Mario Brothers. Army Hammer Bro entrusts the scepter to a Goomba and sends it into Princess Peach's Castle. With the residents of the castle under the influence of the scepter, Army Hammer Bro and his troops capture Mario, Luigi, and many Toads, imprisoning them all across the island. Returning to Bowser's Villa, the Goomba becomes influenced by the scepter and begins swinging it around, causing Bowser and his minions to lose control of their emotions before Bowser seizes it.

Meanwhile, Princess Peach and Toadsworth return to her castle after a short walk, only to find the residents in emotional disarray and a note from Bowser saying that he has captured Mario and Luigi. Outraged but determined, Peach decides to go to Vibe Island to save the Mario Bros. and the Toads. Shortly before her departure, Toadsworth, reluctant to see Peach travel on her own, gives her a sentient parasol named Perry to help her on her journey.

Peach and Perry rescue Toads and fight back against Bowser's minions as they explore the different regions of the island. Because of the Goomba's earlier flaunting of the scepter, emotional energies known as Vibes--Joy, Rage, Gloom, and Calm--have been dispersed all over the island, and many of Bowser's minions are still influenced by them. Peach is also affected upon arrival, but because she is not directly affected by the scepter, she has better control, gaining new abilities from each. Each time she defeats a boss and clears an area, Perry's backstory is revealed in flashbacks seen in his dreams as he sleeps opposite Peach at a campfire during the night. Long ago, Perry was a young boy with magical powers whose earliest memory was finding himself on a mountainside. He was adopted by an old man whom he came to call "Grandpa". One day, Perry was confronted by a pair of enigmatic magicians who had seemingly heard of the boy's powers and transformed him into an umbrella. The wizard and his henchman captured Perry and brought him toward an unconfirmed location, but he escaped by wiggling free from his captors and fell onto the road. Some time later, a traveling merchant found him and sold him to Toadsworth.

After defeating Giant Kamek and freeing Luigi, Peach and Perry arrive at Bowser's Villa, where they confront Bowser and Army Hammer Bro. Bowser uses the Vibe Scepter to increase Army Hammer Bro's power with Rage, but Peach bests him and his fellow Hamer Bros. She then fights Bowser himself, and after his own defeat, the Koopa King uses the scepter to grow to colossal proportions. Peach and Perry defeat him again by throwing Bob-ombs at him, then send him flying out of the villa. Peach frees Mario, who spins with her in victory before he picks her up and pulls flowers out of his hat. She then takes everyone home to the Mushroom Kingdom. Meanwhile, the scepter, dropped by Bowser after Peach sent him flying, is left to an unknown fate, although an epilogue text suggests that, in a breaking of the fourth wall, it may be in the player's house, influencing their parents' emotions.

Shop[edit]

Shop at the start of the game.

Toad hosts the Shop which is available at start of the game. The player can access the menu by pressing while in the menu of Vibe Island or a world to buy abilities, music, puzzle pieces, and minigame levels. Items have different criteria for the player to unlock them in the shop. For each item the player chooses, Perry describes the item.

If the player can afford the item with a certain amount of coins, Toad asks the player if they want the item. If the player accepts, the player can trade the coins for the item. If the player rejects, Toad bawls at the player for teasing him. If the player cannot afford the item, Toad states they do not have enough coins.

Peach's Vibes[edit]

During the course of gameplay, the player is able to help Peach trigger one of four vibe abilities, provided she has an adequate amount of energy in the Vibe Gauge (located on the top left screen of the Nintendo DS, below her main health meter) to do so. In order to do this, there are four colored Heart Panels on the bottom screen, each representing a certain vibe. The player can touch them to allow Peach to proceed with the related action for each vibe ability.

The four vibes are as listed on the following chart:

Image	Vibe	Effect	Heart
	Joy	Peach becomes extremely happy while singing inaudibly and gains the ability to float when the player presses A. When the player releases A, Peach also creates a tornado which dispels air and gets rid of some boundaries. In most cases, the flight lets her reach otherwise inaccessible Toads and areas of stages. This vibe effect also alters the background music to a happy, higher-octave, somewhat faster tone.
	Rage	Peach becomes enraged and catches fire. The fire lights up the area around her, as well as having the ability to light lamps and fuel hot air balloons. When she jumps, the resulting stomp as she comes back down can shake the ground, stunning most enemies nearby and setting off big switches. This vibe effect also alters the background music to an angry tone with a deep, slow, menacing pitch.
	Gloom	Peach becomes very sad and begins to cry two large streams of tears, causing her to run faster and make plants grow for her to climb. Her tears can also make water wheels go around, opening hidden parts of stages, and can freeze onto cold surfaces to make them slippery and make it easier to get under tight spaces. This vibe effect also alters the background music to a slower, somewhat lower, and distorted tone.
	Calm	Peach becomes calm, restoring HP while depleting the Vibe Gauge. The process stops when she either reaches her maximum HP, depletes the Vibe Gauge, or is attacked by an enemy. This vibe effect also alters the background music to a subtly higher pitch.

To refill the Vibe Gauge, Peach is able to collect blue gems that are scattered around each stage. Perry is also able to eat most basic enemies to achieve the same result by picking them up while they are upside down and stunned, then pressing "Down" on the Control Pad to swallow them.

Perry's Assistance[edit]

Perry can form into several different objects to aid Peach's travels as well, from a boat to a submarine, from a cable car to a laser weapon. More details about each strategy are listed below:
