*Mario and [[Peach]] and their relationship going from friendly to romantic has been in the early 2020s subject and target of toxic and bigoted ageist and neo-puritan attacks on social media based on irrational basis. They criticized it because of Peach being supposedly 16 (average legal age of consent in Japan and most of North America and Europe) and 18 (average legal {{fake link|age of majority}} and adulthood in the world) basing merely on the release of the game ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', while Mario being in his early 40s basing on his first appearance in the 1981 game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', although Shigeru Miyamoto stated previously that Mario is around 24-25. While Princess Peach's age has never been officially revealed probably to avoid further problems of this kind (although previous sources suggest that she may be between around 18 and around 20/early 20s), this didn't stop the recent ageist stigma in the West (particularly in America) regarding age differences between consenting legal/adult individuals, even between fictional and foreign fictional characters (like in this case). | |||
