Princess Peach

Princess Peach Toadstool is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, who first appeared in Super Mario Bros. Peach was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and is the damsel-in-distress throughout most Mario games. Peach is occasionally a key supporting character of the plot, and sometimes a playable character or heroine. Since her debut, Peach has been appearing in Mario games for over 20 years. Since Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Party 8, Peach is currently being voiced by Samantha Kelly.

Peach has an affinity for the color pink and has been shown to be a ladylike and kind monarch. Peach resides in her castle along with many Toads who tend to her. Her kingdom is often attacked by the Koopa Clan, lead by King Bowser. Peach is portrayed as Mario's love interest and the frequent damsel-in-distress. Peach has been officially stated to be best friends with Princess Daisy. She is also good friends with Luigi. Peach has appeared in many sport outings as well as other spin-offs with her abilities usually dealing around hearts; Princess Peach has also made appearances in crossover games such as the Smash Bros. series. Peach has even had her first solo adventure, Super Princess Peach.

As a Baby
Yoshi's Island DS was Peach’s first chronological appearance. Here it is revealed that she is a star child. In this game she helped Baby Mario save Baby Luigi, who was kidnaped by Kamek and Bowser. It is also revealed that since baby she used parasols to float through air.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time was Peach's second chronological appearance. It is revealed that Toadsworth has been taking care of her since she was a baby. She was friends with Mario and Luigi since babies, as it is revealed that Toadsworth the Younger often requested their presence for play dates when the princess threw tantrums.

Peach's Debut


Super Mario Bros. marked Peach's debut appearance. King Bowser of the Koopas, who had invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, and transformed all of its inhabitants into blocks and other strange objects. However, as it was foretold that the Mushroom King's daughter would be able to lift the spell, he kidnapped Princess Peach, then known as "Princess Toadstool" in the English version. Mario and Luigi recognized the threat and went on to rescue her. After completing all seven castles and defeating the real Bowser, the brothers finally found the princess and rescued her. After rescuing her, Toadstool gave Mario a kiss and thanked him. In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Toadstool is kidnapped by Bowser again, and rescued by Mario in the same way as before in Super Mario Bros.

Saving Subcon
In Super Mario Bros. 2, players could go through the game as Princess Toadstool. Toadstool, along with Mario, Luigi and Toad, were called by the Subcon to save their dream land from the evil Wart. Toadstool's main ability was that she could float for a limited time after jumping. Toadstool was the weakest character in the game and has a poor vertical jump, but her floating ability was unlike any of the other characters. Princess Toadstool's abilities are copied from Lina in the original Doki Doki Panic.

Bowser Returns
In Super Mario Bros. 3, Bowser made a new attempt on capturing the princess. Hearing of it, Princess Toadstool asked Mario and Luigi to rescue the Mushroom Kings, sending them items while they were on their quest. After each world, they received a letter from Peach, telling them their next destination, and there was an item enclosed in the letter every time. However, while Mario and Luigi were in Pipe Land, Bowser put his plan into action and captured Toadstool, taking her to his home in the Dark Land. However, Mario and Luigi heard of it, and, following Bowser, defeated him and rescued the princess once more. Toadstool plays a joke on Mario and Luigi at the very end by saying to them "Thank you, but our princess is in another castle!...Just kidding!" referencing the Toads' often used quote in Super Mario Bros.

Land of Misfortune
In Super Mario World, Mario, Luigi and Toadstool were having a vacation in Dinosaur Land when Bowser once again kidnapped her. This time, she was held captive in Bowser's Castle in the Valley of Bowser. Bowser had brought her inside his Koopa Clown Car for the final battle against the brothers. Toadstool was helping Mario in the final battle by throwing mushrooms at him right before Bowser retreated after being hit three times. In the end, Toadstool was rescued by Mario, and she gave him a kiss.

Active Lifestyle
Also Peach appears in Mario & Wario. She along with Mario and Yoshi need help being directed by Wanda after Wario droped buckets on their heads. Peach is the slowest but easiest character to direct.

Break From Being the Victim
In Yoshi's Safari, Bowser attacked Jewelry Land. Bowser caught King Fret and Prince Pine and held them captive. Being a good friend of Prince Pine, Peach sent a letter to Yoshi and Mario to help them. Peach even gave them an item, the Super Scope, to help them in their quest. This is also the very first game to call her Princess Peach in North America, as opposed to Princess Toadstool.

From Hotel to Hotel
Peach is the damsel-in-distress in Hotel Mario where she is kidnapped by Bowser and the Koopalings and she can be rescued by Mario or Luigi, each time the hotel in which she is held is destroyed, she is taken to other until Bowser is defeated. Once the player beats Bowser, the Princess kisses Mario and Luigi. The Princess, Mario and Luigi then proceed to call the player "the best player ever".

Peachy Power
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Toadstool was one of Mario's party members, along with Mallow, Geno and Bowser. At the beginning of the game, Bowser kidnapped her with his Koopa Clown Car, while she was sitting outside of Mario's Pad. Mario came to her aid, and defeated Bowser after a battle. However, Exor crashed into Bowser's Keep, and sent the three flying in different directions. Toadstool landed in the tower of Booster. Booster fell in love with her, and planned to force her to marry him, despite her cries of, "MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME!". After Mario had charged Booster Tower and defeated Knife Guy and Grate Guy, Booster grabbed Toadstool and ran away with her up Booster Hill. He reached Marrymore, where he wanted to marry Toadstool as soon as possible. Mario managed to stop the wedding, and took Toadstool back to the Mushroom Kingdom. She was put under the eyes of the Chancellor, who, desperate for the princess's safety, would not have wanted her to follow Mario on his quest against Smithy. However, Toadstool escaped from the castle with the help of her Grandmother, who dressed herself up as the princess, and joined Mario's party to help them defeat Smithy. At the end of the game, Toadstool and Mario returned to Mushroom Kingdom together.

Castle Kidnapping
In Super Mario 64, Peach invited Mario to her castle for a cake, but before Mario arrived at the castle-side, Bowser came and took control over the Power Stars. He sealed Peach in the fresco over the entrance of the castle. After Mario defeated Bowser in the level Bowser in the Sky, Peach and two Toads were rescued from it. Peach thanked Mario by kissing him and baked a cake for him.

It should be noted that this game is the first and only game to merge both names for the princess. Peach signed her letter as "Princess Toadstool, Peach", which establishes Toadstool as her last name. Subsequent games use her first (or original) name exclusively. Super Mario 64 DS had the same plot, except this time Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario were there to help Mario rescue Peach.

The princess appears in Mario Party 2, the second installment in the Mario Party series. In Mario Tennis(64), Peach plays tennis for the first. Also in this game she is shown to have a friendship with Princess Daisy. Lastly, she appears in Mario Party 3.

2-D Quest
In Paper Mario, King Bowser once again kidnapped Peach, this time using his castle to carry her away. While being held captive in her own room in the castle, a Star Kid named Twink came to help her, and together they found a secret passage out of her room. Peach sabotaged Bowser's plots by supplying Mario with a relatively constant stream of information, using Twink as her messenger. She also used a special treasure chest, where she could store items, and Mario could fetch them at the chest's counterpart at Shooting Star Summit. Peach baked a cake for Gourmet Guy, and also participated in the 64th Trivia Quiz-off run by Bowser's minions. Peach won a Sneaky Parasol, which allowed her to disguise herself as one of Bowser's guards. She could use the parasol to become a Koopatrol, a Clubba and a Hammer Bro. However, her disguise was lifted by Kammy Koopa as Kammy recognized Peach.

After his defeat, Bowser grabbed the princess and ran to the roof of the castle. He then used the Star Rod to make himself completely invincible. Princess Peach and Twink got into a fight with Kammy Koopa, and defeated her. Peach then wished that her kingdom would remain safe. Twink and Peach added their power to the Star Beam, then called Peach Beam, making it able to break Bowser's invincibility. Bowser was defeated and Peach's castle returned to its original spot in Toad Town. After the celebration parade, Mario took Peach to his place to watch the fireworks.

Paradise Ruined
In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario, Peach, and Toadsworth went to Isle Delfino on Peach's private plane. However, Bowser Jr., in the disguise of Shadow Mario, had filled the island with graffiti. The crimes were blamed on Mario, and he was sentenced to clean the entire island with FLUDD. Peach's objections in the trial for Mario's alibi, having not yet been on the island while Shadow Mario was already active, was overruled by the Pianta Judge for no given reason.

Peach went to Delfino Plaza, as it currently was not possible to reach the hotel. There, Shadow Mario grabbed her and ran away. Mario followed them and was able to release Peach from Shadow Mario with the help of FLUDD. After the incident, which was reported by the local radio, the Delfino Emergency Broadcast System, Peach stayed on Delfino Plaza for a while, until Mario had collected ten Shine Sprites.

Eventually, Bowser Jr. kidnapped Peach while Mario was away, and took her to Pinna Park, where he revealed his true identity. Bowser Jr. claimed that Peach was his mother and that the evil Mario had kidnapped her. After Mario destroyed Bowser Jr.'s Mecha-Bowser, in which the princess was held captive, Bowser Jr. used a balloon to take the still intact head of the Bowser robot to Corona Mountain, with Peach still inside. Later, Mario made his way to the top of the active volcano and found Peach forced to bathe with Bowser and Bowser Jr. in a pool of green acid. This was described by Bowser as a "family vacation". Mario managed to rescue Peach, and later they were able to enjoy their vacation together with FLUDD.

A Neighboring Kingdom
Prior to the events of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Peach was notified by the Beanbean Kingdom that the witch Cackletta would come and try to steal her voice. Cackletta wanted to do this in order to waken the Beanstar, a star-shaped bean which would grant wishes to everyone. The Beanstar has been sleeping and could only be wakened by a pure voice, in order to prevent abuse. Peach took precautions and when Cackletta and Fawful, dressed as ambassadors, arrived at her castle, they were not greeted by Peach, but by Birdo, who was disguised as the princess. Cackletta and Fawful unknowingly stole Birdo's voice and escaped from the castle, leaving Birdo with a voice of exploding characters. However, Mario, Luigi and Bowser, who were not aware of the true identity of the "princess", followed Cackletta to the Beanbean Kingdom before the real Peach was able to intervene.

After Mario and Luigi had presumably killed Cackletta at the Woohoo Hooniversity, Peach went to the Beanbean Kingdom with her plane. Peach revealed Birdo's disguise, thanked Mario and Luigi for taking care of the Cackletta problem, and decided to spend the holidays in the Beanbean Kingdom. She expressed the wish to travel to Little Fungitown, a settlement of Toad emigrants, which was lying across the dangerous Teehee Valley. Toadsworth insisted that Mario and Luigi accompany the princess on this journey. During their venture through Teehee Valley, Peach had to be protected from any harm in the desert. When she disappeared from Mario and Luigi's view, Gritty Goombas would appear instantly and take her to an underground dungeon. At the valley's end, Peach ran into Trunkle, a giant rock monster, but Mario and Luigi saved her from it before it was too late.

Later, Bowletta kidnapped Peach in order to make sure to awaken the Beanstar this time, which had shown angry reactions when confronted with Birdo's voice. She took Peach, who was at the Mushroom Kingdom embassy of Little Fungitown at the time, using Bowser's Koopa Clown Car. However, Cackletta was no longer in the possession of the Beanstar itself. When Mario and Luigi met Bowletta in Joke's End, Luigi dressed himself up in Peach's spare dress to fool Bowletta and Fawful into thinking he was Peach. The plan worked, and Bowletta released the real Peach, and kidnapped Luigi instead. In the meantime, Mario received a kiss from Peach. After Luigi's escape from the repaired Koopa Cruiser, Peach stayed in the Little Fungitown embassy until Bowletta was defeated.

Alternate Captor
Before the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Peach went to a trip through the entire Mushroom Kingdom. They had a stop at Rogueport to refill their ship's fuel. On the market, she met an old saleswoman, presumably one of the Shadow Sirens. They had decided that Peach would be the best body for their bodiless Shadow Queen, who was locked up behind the Thousand-Year Door for exactly thousand years by the time of the game. They gave Peach the Magical Map, as she had a pure heart, which was needed to be able to open the chest of the map. The Shadow Sirens then tricked the alien Sir Grodus into capturing Peach and animating the Shadow Queen with her body. Before this happened, however, Peach had already sent the Magical Map to Mario, inviting him on a treasure hunt.

Peach was taken to the X-Naut Fortress on the Moon. While both Mario and, unsuccessfully, Bowser searched for the Crystal Stars to rescue her, the princess became active herself in the fortress. The base's main computer, the TEC-XX, fell in love with her due to a short circuit in its system, and betrayed Grodus to help Peach escape. He allowed her to send an e-mail to Mario at regular intervals. By the computer's orders, Peach dressed up as an X-Naut to question Grodus, and also made herself an invisibility potion to find out even more about Grodus's plans. However, Grodus had TEC shut down when he found out, and took Peach to the Palace of Shadow. Mario followed, and he met up with Grodus in the room right before the tomb of the Shadow Queen. Grodus confronted Mario, and was prepared to kill Peach if Mario made a false move. However, Bowser crashed through the ceiling and fell on top of Grodus. While Mario and Bowser were fighting, Grodus took Peach down to the tomb and offered her as a body for the Shadow Queen. The ancient 1000-year old demon then possessed Peach, but refused to take Grodus's orders, nearly killing him. The Shadow Queen engaged battle with Mario and his partners. However, she found Peach's body too weak and returned to her true form (a purple shadow creature) for the final battle. Peach was able to give her powers to Mario for this. She could talk out of the Shadow Queen's body as the demon was weakened by the encouraging voices of the entire population of the Rogueport area, which were brought to the basement of the Palace of Shadow by the magic of the Crystal Stars. In the end, the Shadow Queen was defeated and Peach was restored. In the game's post-credits scene, Peach came to Mario's House, telling him she found yet another map and wanted to invite Mario on another treasure hunt. Shocked, Mario.....fainted.

Pinball Land
In Mario Pinball Land, Peach and Mario went to visit The Fun Fair. Peach was enthralled by the Air Cannon attraction, and decided to try it for herself. After she was in the cannon, a pair of Goombas rotated the cannon so that it pointed at Bowser's Castle. Peach was blasted far away, right into the castle's gates. Mario turned himself into the shape of a pinball in order to progress through the pinball worlds to rescue Peach. After he rescued her from Bowser, they both returned to The Fun Fair. They were last seen riding the roller coaster together.

Time Traveling

 * ''See also: Baby Peach.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time starts with a flashback to the past. At the time the story starts, Young Toadsworth always took care of the baby princess, since she cried a lot. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi would sometimes come to play with her. And even Baby Bowser still came to kidnap her. But one day, aliens known as Shroobs invaded the Mushroom Kingdom. And since Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Bowser, Baby Peach and Young Toadsworth were all there, Baby Bowser called Kamek to get them out of the castle. Kamek arrived and took them out of the castle with the Koopa Cruiser just in time.

In the present, Peach, Toadiko and Toadbert had used the Time Machine of Professor E. Gadd to travel back to the past, unaware of travelling to the time where the Shroobs were attacking. When they got to the past, the Shroobs cornered Peach and the Toads. Elder Princess Shroob, the leader of the Shroobs, and Princess Shroob, her younger sister, attacked Peach. Peach grabbed the time machine's power supply, the Cobalt Star, and trapped Elder Princess Shroob inside it. Then she broke the Cobalt Star into pieces, while Elder Princess Shroob was still inside. While the Cobalt Shards were spread around the world, Peach was held captive by Princess Shroob.

While Mario and Luigi teamed up with their baby selves to recover the Cobalt Shards, which they needed to save Peach according to Professor E. Gadd, Princess Shroob dressed herself up as Princess Peach. However, she was swallowed by Petey Piranha. The Mario Bros. and their younger selves defeated Petey Piranha, and Princess Shroob, disguised as Peach, was brought to the present by the brothers. E. Gadd told the fake princess to take a rest. However, while she was doing so, Bowser came and kidnapped her, believing that she was Peach. The Mario Bros. and Bowser only found out the true identity of Princess Shroob when they were all sucked into the Shroob Mother Ship in the past. During all this time, the real Peach was still in Shroob Castle.

When Mario and Luigi got to Shroob Castle, they saw Peach, but Princess Shroob interrupted their conversation at the point where Peach was going to explain why the Cobalt Star should not be completed and a battle begins. After it, Baby Bowser reunited the Cobalt Star Shards all together, making Elder Princess Shroob appear and giving her back all her power. After the battle, Peach and the others return to the present.

Her Turn To Shine
Super Princess Peach marked a change of roles in the Mario series – it was Princess Peach's turn to save Mario and Luigi from King Bowser. With the aid of a talking umbrella named Perry – who was amnesiac and therefore possessed a mysterious past – Peach traveled to Vibe Island, where Bowser had moved his operations in order to obtain the Vibe Scepter. However, the Goomba who brought it to him had been affected by its magic, and with a calm, playful attitude, he used the scepter on the entire island, thereby creating chaos.

With this, Peach was capable of using four Vibe Techniques to help her through the areas. Princess Peach also was capable of floating for a short period of time like she was in Super Mario Bros. 2 (and subsequently, the Super Smash Bros. series), only this time she used Perry to hold her aloft rather than her dress.

Eventually, Peach fought her way through the island's many hazards and rescued Mario and Luigi. Perry also became less amnesiac as time went on, eventually recovering his memory. After Peach rescues Mario, he picks her up into his arms and gives her some flowers. Then everyone heads home together.

Junior's Revenge
Princess Peach was kidnapped once again in New Super Mario Bros. However, as in Super Mario Sunshine, the culprit was not Bowser but his son, Bowser Jr. In the beginning of the game, Peach and Mario were taking a walk around the castle. However, smoke began to billow from the fortress. When Mario went to investigate, Junior nabbed Peach, because he thought she was his mother. As it turned out, the fire was merely a diversion created by Junior to lure Mario away from Peach. Mario chased Bowser Jr., with Peach in tow, throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, eventually stopping him, fighting Bowser Jr. and Bowser, and after defeating them, saving Peach. Mario then recieved a kiss from Peach.

Super Paper Princess
In Super Paper Mario, Peach along with Bowser, Luigi, and Bowser's minions were kidnapped by Count Bleck. Bleck forces Peach and Bowser to marry, the only way to form the evil Chaos Heart, which would destroy the world. As Luigi, who was attending the wedding, stomped on it in an attempt to stop it, everything was destroyed. Peach, however, survived and later escapes Bleck's Castle with the help of Private Koopa and secretly Dimentio, a follower of Count Bleck, and fell from the sky into Flipside. Although she was temporarily unconscious where Mario found her, she got better and joined the team after Mario gave her some Spicy Soup. She could float with her parasol using the 2 button, and if the player pressed down on the D-Pad, she used the parasol to shield herself from her enemies. Luigi and Bowser later joined the cause, though Bowser had to be convinced by Peach and Mario.

The gang made it to Count Bleck's lair. In Chapter 8-2, Mimi, a loyal minion of Count Bleck, taunted her for having been kidnapped so many times and for being rescued by plumbers instead of just rescuing herself. Peach and Mimi clashed soon after. When Peach won, a trap door was activated and Mimi fell through it. However, Peach saved her. The two fell down the shaft and were thought to be lost, but both survived. Peach comes back during the final battle against Count Bleck. As it was revealed, Dimentio was the real threat, as Bleck only wanted to destroy the world after the loss of his girlfriend. His girlfriend though turned out to be Tippi, a member of Mario's team. After defeating Super Dimentio and freeing Luigi, Peach witnessed the marriage of Bleck and Tippi in order to stop the Void.

Captive in Space
In Super Mario Galaxy, Peach's castle was lifted into space by Bowser, who wanted Peach to rule the universe by his side. She was brought into Outer Space, along with some Toads, and Mario had to go through different galaxies to save her.

The story began with Mushroom Kingdom celebrating the centennial passing of a comet. Peach sent a letter to Mario that night, inviting him to her castle. That night Bowser and his armada of Airships attacked Toad Town, setting fire to it. From her balcony, Peach watched with a worried look while holding a Luma she found, as Bowser approached her castle in his airship. He then invited her to the creation of his new galaxy. When she did not answer, Bowser summoned a UFO, which cut the castle out the ground, and the airships lifted it into space. Mario had made it to the castle before it was lifted. Just as Mario began to reach for Peach, he was attacked and sent flying with Peach still calling his name.

At times Peach secretly sent mail to Mario giving him a bit of aid by sending together with the letters some 1-Up Mushrooms. When the player plays as Luigi, Peach still addresses the letter to Mario. When the Comet Observatory had enough power, Rosalina used it to take Mario to the center of the universe, where Peach was held captive. While Mario entered the castle to get to Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, Rosalina kept the armada busy. After the battle, Peach is rescued.

At the end of the game, Peach wakes up in Mushroom Kingdom next to Mario and Bowser. Peach is last seen looking into the sky wondering, as other creatures Mario had met during his adventures are now in her kingdom.

Gracing the Court
In the Mario Tennis series series, Peach is a technique character, who depends on strategy since she is not that strong. In Mario Tennis 64, even though Peach is Technique, she lean more towards all-around. This is because of her height to reach the ball, her speed, and ability to send the ball over the net.

In Mario Power Tennis, her Offensive Power Shot is the Super Peach Spin, while her Defensive Power Shot is the Sweet Kiss Return. She is skilled at getting the ball in areas hard to reach, and has good footwork. Peach's gameplay is described as "something beautiful to behold" in Mario Power Tennis. Peach has her own court, the Peach Dome. Peach appeared in several of the cut-scenes as the trophies were handed out in her dome. She kissed Mario on his cheek during his ceremony, and was present at Diddy Kong's, Koopa's and Petey Pirahna's ceremony. Peach also was present when Wario and Waluigi would attempt to steal Fly Guy's or Paratroopa's trophy. She even clapped for Bowser during his award ceremony.

Peach invites the characters Clay and Ace to her tournament in Mario Tennis: Power Tour, after they complete the Island Open. She has them escorted by Mario and Toadsworth on her private plane.

She has a great recovery capacity but is easy to send flying. In spite of this she is a fairly easy character to use. Her Down Smash and Up Smash are quick and have several powerful, high priority hits. Peach is one of the best edge guarders in the series. Her Neutral A slap is good for disrupting combos and grabs, as well as starting combos herself. Peach's Forward Aerial Crown Slap is a great horizontal killer. She can also use an umbrella (like Perry) which can be used to float to the ground and whack people with. In Adventure Mode, she is fought at the end of the first stage. The player will have to fight her and Mario or Luigi. Princess Peach's Castle is also a course in the game. The detail in Peach's appearance is also greatly increased with a much more realistic look than in any Mario game before.

Princess of Blossoms
Peach returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, heavily redesigned, based on her more recent appearances. She keeps her special moves from Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as stay as a light character with the ability to float. Peach's new design in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is by far the most detailed look for Peach in any other Mario game to date.

Her stickers are based off of art from Super Princess Peach, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Strikers Charged, and Super Mario Bros. 2.

Peach has three different taunts in Brawl. For her Up taunt she takes her parasol out and spins it, while saying "Sweet!". Peach's Side taunt shows her singing and dancing while holding her dress, and musical notes appear. Lastly, for her Down taunt she spins, winks while pointing, bends a little and says "Uh-huh!".

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

 * Snake: Mei Ling, tell me what you know about Peach.
 * Mei Ling: Princess Peach is the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's been kidnapped numerous times by Bowser.
 * Snake: Sounds pretty serious...
 * Mei Ling: Yes, but every time it happens, Mario ends up saving her. Sure, he may not look like you ideal "knight in shining armor." A little on the short side, I say... But still, don't you think it's romantic? I mean, to have a guy who's always there for you?
 * Snake: If he was smart, he'd tell her to stop getting kidnapped.
 * Mei Ling: ...You don't get a lot of dates, do you, Snake?

Role in the Subspace Emissary
In The Subspace Emissary, Peach was watching Mario and Kirby fighting together with Princess Zelda, and ran down to assist them after the arrival of the Primids. However, she is soon captured by Petey Piranha and put into a cage along with Zelda. Kirby, who battles Petey Piranha, has the choice to rescue either Peach or Zelda. If she is not rescued, Wario appears and uses a Dark Cannon to transform her into a trophy and run off with her. Peach is later rescued by King Dedede along with Luigi and Ness. But his castle is raided by Bowser and his forces, who takes her with him.

If Peach is rescued, she will team up with Kirby and escape the stadium on a Warp Star. Peach and Kirby are chased by the Battleship Halberd and are forced to land on it. However, an Arwing, which has been hit by a laser beam of the Halberd, knocks them off and they fall to the ground. Eventually, Kirby becomes distracted, and Bowser turns Peach into a trophy, leaving behind a clone of Peach. As Link and Yoshi slay this clone, Mario and Pit believe that they killed the real Peach, putting the two teams into a brief conflict.

Peach and Zelda are both held captive on the Halberd and later rescued by Meta Knight, Lucario, and Solid Snake. Peach helps them take back the Halberd by recruiting Fox McCloud and later stops him from shooting a helpless Mr. Game & Watch. Peach also goes into Subspace with the others, where they find Tabuu, the true enemy. She gets hit by his Off Waves and turned back into a trophy along with the others, but Kirby, revived by one of King Dedede's badges, manages to save her and some of the others before going to face Tabuu in a final battle.

Toad (SSB attack)


Toad is Peach's B move in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is easily done by simply pressing B. Peach will then bring out Toad to protect her. Toad is like a Shield, but additionally Toad will absorb any attack and send it back to the opponent. According to one of Peach's trophies, he does this by sending spores back at the opponent. Toad can only be held out for a very small time, so it is hard to master. Kirby can use Toad if he sucks up Peach's powers. Peach uses this move again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Peach Bomber


The Peach Bomber is an attack that Princess Peach uses in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is her Side special move. When executed, Peach will leap forward, twirl and ram an enemy with her buttocks. Upon contact with another player, it will cause an explosion. The attack is Peach's strongest move but, despite being powerful, takes a while to use, which can leave her open for enemy attack.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, instead of fire, there is an explosion of hearts, similar to some of Peach's other attacks.

Peach Parasol


Peach Parasol is a move used by Peach in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. She uses the attack once the B Button is pressed, alongside the Control Stick being tilted up. She smashes up with a white Parasol and damages any players which it hits. This attack is very similar to Mario's Super Jump Punch, in the fact that it launches her up, and hits the opponent several times in one jump. She then comes down, safely gliding down on her parasol, acting as one of the most useful third jumps in both games. Unfortunately, Peach is unable to attack while gliding. However, The parasol can damage enemies by touching them. Furthermore, the parasol can be closed during flight to fall quickly (though Peach will be in a helpless sate). In Brawl, her parasol is based heavily on it in Super Paper Mario.

Interestingly, if Peach uses the Peach Parasol while holding the Parasol item, she will replace her usual Parasol with that Parasol.

Vegetable
Vegetable is the name of a special move that Princess Peach is able use in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is activated by pressing the B button while holding the Control Stick down. Peach would then pluck a Vegetable from the ground, which she is able to throw at her opponents. The Vegetable will bounce off of opponents, which allows Peach to grab the Veggie again, and continue throwing it at the opponent. This can also work to her foes advantage however, as any character can catch them. The turnips do a varying amount of damage, depending on its facial expression. Sometimes, Peach will pull a Mr. Saturn, a Beam Sword or a Bob-omb out of the ground. She also has this attack in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, only, she uses giant vegetables. Occasionally, a vegetable with the face depicted on the left will appear. These only appear at a 1/58 chance, but have more then 30% increased damage. The attack is a reference to Super Mario Bros. 2, where players were able to pull Vegetables out of the ground, and then throw them at enemies.

Television and Movies
In the DiC Entertainment cartoons The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World cartoon, Princess Toadstool appeared regularly. She had red hair instead of blonde, due to its coloration in the first few games. This style was kept in the Super Mario World cartoons despite Peach's different appearance in the corresponding video game. Peach's kind heart and gentle nature prevailed in the cartoons. She usually was a damsel-in-distress along with Toad, but at times she saved Mario and Luigi. Peach was also showed to be looking for someone to defeat Bowser, but she would take the time out to help others such as her friend Joliet. She was very charitable in helping orphanages and even opened a school for the cave children in the Super Mario World series. A special form of Toadstool, Super Princess, appeared in the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Trojan Koopa". Sometime after the events of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 series finale "Super Koopa", King Bowser Koopa, the Koopalings and their armies were banished from the Mushroom Kingdom. After the banishment of the Koopa family and their minions, Princess Toadstool, Mario and Luigi went on vacation to the Dinosaur World. Only for Princess Toadstool to be kidnapped by King Koopa and his minions. After adventuring and befriending Yoshi, Mario and Luigi managed to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser's Neon Castle and subsequently decided to stay in Dinosaur Land's Dome City with the cave-people.

Peach starred in The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach, as the damsel-in-distress. The story begins off when Mario is playing a videogame and then Peach comes out of the T.V., fleeing from some enemies, and explains to Mario that she is the princess from the Mushroom Kingdom and asks him for help. Mario instantly becomes lovestruck. But then Bowser appears and kidnaps Peach. It is revealed later by a wise old man that Bowser is madly in love with her and wanted to force a marriage on Peach. Mario and Luigi then set out and manage to save Princess Peach. The castle had been turned into the Koopa Castle, but after Bowser's defeat it is turned back into Peach's castle. Peach also had a boyfriend named Prince Haru, prince of the Flower Kingdom. Mario in the end was shown to be very jealous over this, but he and Peach still remained friends.

Peach also appeared in the Super Mario Amada Series. In the plot of Momotaro, two elderly Hammer Bros. are grandparents to a beautiful girl, called "Prinzess Peach". However, she is so beautiful, she eventually gets kidnapped by Bowser. She is later rescued by Momotaro(Mario). In Issunboshi, Peach befriends a small Mario and also plays the role of Snow White in the third story.

Publications
She also appeared in the Nintendo Comics System comics, which had a semi-regular feature called Dear Princess Toadstool. In one situation Tryclyde wrote to Princess Toadstool in a thinly veiled attempt to get a date with her. Other characters to write included Luigi and Bowser. Other comics Peach appeared in are A Mouser in the Houser, Beauty and the Beach, Bedtime for Drain-Head, Betrayal Most Proper, Bowser Knows Best, Duh Stoopid Bomb!, Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All, The Doctor Is In... Over His Head, It's Always Fair Weather, Magic Carpet Madness, Tanooki Suits Me, The Buddy System, and The Legend,

Peach also regularly appeared in the comic series of the German Club Nintendo magazine. After several minor appearances, she played her first leading part in the story "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit". With the help of a manipulated Alarm Clock, Dr. Wily managed to take over Mario's hometown and to win Peach over, turning her into an evil black-dressed witch. When Mario invades Wily's castle, Peach even assigns the guards to arrest him. As it turns out, however, this story only happened in Mario's dreams. She also appeared in Mario in Mariozilla.

"Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens" featured a second major appearance of Princess Peach. In this story, she lives together with Mario and several other Nintendo characters in a Brooklyn skyscraper. As Mario happens to notice, Wario signs a contract with Abigor, a demon, allowing the latter to take over the skyscraper and committing him to manipulate Peach's brain so that she would fall in love with Wario. Obviously the spell Abigor puts on Peach has a different effect, turning her into a zombie. When Mario and his friends Link and Kirby try to rescue her, the only thing they find is a magical golden dice, which takes them to the underworld. They meet Abigor and his allies there, and after a successful fight also find the Princess, still being a zombie. Mario is not put off and gives her a hug, with the effect that she finally transforms back. Other German comics she appeared in are Mario will hoch hinaus, Ostern im Schwammerlland, Super Mario: Coole Klänge, Super Mario: Die Bescherung, Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!, Süße Weihnachten, Warios Weihnachtsmärchen, and Wart steht unter Strom.

The Super Mario Adventures serial in Nintendo Power featured undeniably the most dynamic interpretation of the character. In this story, Bowser proposes marriage to her, which she naturally refuses. But despite being captured and held captive by the Koopalings, she does not give in easily. In the fourth installment alone, she beats up all the male Koopalings and locks them in her own cell, messes up Wendy O. Koopa's room and threatens to shred her favorite dress, and then drops out of their tower, using a Cape to fly away. On the way, though, she is knocked off-course by a Bullet Bill carrying Mario and lands unconscious. Luigi, Yoshi, and Toad find her. Luigi then sets off to rescue Mario as the others keep an eye on Peach.

When she awakens, after a dream that turns into a nightmare, and learns from Toad that the Koopalings are holding Mario for ransom, she becomes determined to break Mario out, despite Toad's warning that she might spoil Luigi's plan (infiltrating the tower disguised as her). With some assistance from Yoshi and Friendly Floyd, Peach busts back into the tower, saying she'll light a pack of Floyd's bombs unless Mario is set free. After a lot of chaos the group escapes Wendy's Tower.

Bowser recaptures the Princess later in the story, but as his planned wedding draws near, Peach still refuses to marry him and attacks all the Koopa Troopas attending to her in her dressing room. When trying to sweet-talk her doesn't work, Bowser realizes that he needs a hypnotist, at which point a Magikoopa brainwashes Peach into agreeing to marry the Koopa King. As a result of this, she is unable to fight back until a herd of Yoshis destroy the magic wand, thus breaking the spell. Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Yoshi escape and Peach kisses Mario.

Peach also appeared in the Super Mario Kun manga series and played an important role in the comicWhite Knuckle Scorin'.

Character Description
Princess Peach is depicted as a blue-eyed blond, wearing a long pink dress with arm-length gloves. Her dress has broad shoulders, a ruffled collar, and two dark pink panniers rest on the hoop skirt that accents her slender frame. The bottom of her dress has a dark pink border. Peach also wears a sapphire brooch set in gold. For her jewelry, Peach wears a crown decorated with rubies and sapphires along with sapphire earrings. In Super Mario Sunshine, this dress is shown in a lighter shade of pink. She wears very little makeup - just hot pink lipstick applied to her full lips. Peach's head is heart-shaped and her eyes are lashious and oval. Around her eyes are several eyelashes and she has blond eyebrows. In addition, Peach's hair falls down her back and has several flips; she also has hair that falls close to her cheeks. Peach is taller than most characters, but shorter than characters including Waluigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Rosalina.

Peach's classic dress lacked panniers, had a belt-like piece of clothing instead of the panniers surrounding her waist, and the bottom of the dress's border went up about 3/5 to her belt. The jewls on her crown were smaller, and the pink on her dress was lighter and the darker part was a reddish-purple, her hair was a little more oranged color, but still about 90% yellow. Plus, her hair was differently designed at the bottom. She also had baby-faced cheeks in the Nintendo 64 era. Peach’s looks has not changed as drastically as other damsels Daisy and Pauline; and she shares similar facial and hair features with Rosalina.

Peach has always been depicted as a blond in video games. Also, in official artwork by Nintendo, her hair has been blond since the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (a.k.a the Lost Levels). However, due to the graphical limitations of the NES hardware, her on-screen sprite in the earlier Super Mario Bros. games displayed her with brown hair or red hair and outlines. Presumably, this was the reason why Peach was depicted with red hair instead of blond in the DiC Entertainment cartoons. This discrepancy was remedied in the SNES era with Super Mario World, in which was she shown with her proper hair color. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, her usually yellow hair was changed to a more realistic tone of blond.

She sometimes wears her hair tied up in a ponytail, as seen in first in parts of Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario 64 DS, and temporarily in both Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario, where the player could arrange it. She almost always has the ponytail in the sports games since the GameCube era. Peach is the only princess who ties her hair back, considering its long length; in most cases, her ponytail style is seen in Mario spinoff games.

Alternate Outfits
When the Mario sports installments started with Mario Golf and Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, her classic sports uniform was her same classic dress, except it was shorter and she was not wearing gloves and was wearing tall, long socks. However, when the Gamecube Mario sports installments came around, Peach started to have more variety in her sports attire. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Power Tennis, she wears a sporty mini-skirt to mainly keep the theme of her current gown. However, in more active sports installments which include Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario Super Sluggers, she wears an athletic outfit to match the said sports, excluding Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged in which she wears soccer outfits targeted for those games.

Even though she wears her gown in Mario Kart Wii, she also wears a pink jumpsuit with gloves and boots when riding a motorcycle. The suit is white with pink verticle lines going down Peach's arms and legs. Her accessories include a pink scarf, a pink belt with a white buckle and pink boots and gloves. Along with that accompanies her traditional jewelry. There is also a heart-shaped pattern on her back.

In Super Mario Sunshine, Peach wears a light pink sun-dress, along with jewelry.

For Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, her outfits are based off her classic and current dress.

In the Dr. Mario series, Peach wore a nurse outfit with sandals.

From Toadstool to Peach
In Japan, the Princess's name has always been Peach (ピーチ姫 Pīchi Hime "Princess Peach"). Peach's name is derived from the Peach tree that bears pink blossoms and juicy edible fruit. She was originally known as Princess Toadstool in the United States and England. The English translation of Yoshi's Safari (1993) marked the first usage of the name "Peach" outside of Japan; however, the name did not catch on at that time, as the game itself was not very popular. In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, she went back to being called Princess Toadstool. However, in Super Mario RPG, if Belome swallowed Princess Toadstool to clone her during the fight with him in Belome Temple, he would comment that she tasted "peachy". It was not until Super Mario 64 that the name Peach became widely known outside Japan.

Personality
Princess Peach is classy, kind, clever, mischevious, and at times strongwilled. She often displays an unselfish and noble spirit and puts her friends ahead of herself. For instance, in Mario Party 8, when teamed up with Yoshi they are called Kind Hearts, meaning Peach, like Yoshi, is a noble character.

Over the years, Peach's personality has been described by TV media, game manuals, official game guides, and in the games themselves. Her bios have referred to her as cute, charming, energetic, normally the epitome of grace, as well as gorgeous and refined. She has also been referred to as sweet, slap hitter, sophisticated, more than a pretty face, gifted, devious, fair, innocent, wily, fit for queen, and magnanimous.

In the cartoon shows, she was also practical and generous to a fault; in one episode where the Mario Bros. are getting homesick, she vows to find a way to get them home and when they find it later in the episode, insists they take it even though Koopa is still on the loose. Peach displayed her pure heart in Super Paper Mario when she saved Mimi dispite being picked on by her. Along with that, she can be naive and very strongwilled at times, but Peach is also wise and motherly. She was a motherly figure to the young Yoshi and Oogtar. Also Peach seems to enjoy exploring and trying new things. Peach is also sweet and hospitable to others. An example of this is when she bakes a cake for Mario. Also in Smash Bros. Brawl's story mode, Peach offered tea to Fox and Sheik in order to calm them down. Peach was the only able to recruit Mr. Game and Watch, who didn’t have a concept of right and wrong, by rebuking him and then giving him her parasol. And when Master Hand is defeated by Tabuu, she is the first to reach him attempting to check on him. In addition, she oftens sings to herself and giggles in the sports titles. In Paper Mario, Peach often expressed loneliness without Mario and she also apologizes excessively for getting into trouble. Due to her fondness for Mario, she often rejects the advances of other men such as Bowser, Booster, and Francis.

Peach shows her more bolder side in the Striker series. Her naughty and devious side often shows in the Party series, as she often plays tricks and taught her friends. It has been stated that Peach sidelines Mario’s affections and will even stand up to Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser in order to collect the most stars. Though she generally has the personality of a sweet girl she can be competitive and playful though she still shows good sportsmanship as shown in Mario Power Tennis.She also flirted with Mario and Luigi by blowing kisses at them, causing them to swoon. Deep down inside it bothers her that she is a constant victim of kidnapping, as seen in Super Paper Mario, but she still is very grateful for what Mario and Luigi do. As said in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach plays tennis or golf against Bowser, despite the trouble he continues to give her. In short Peach is lively, attractive, knowledgeable, outspoken, competitive and daring while still maintaining her feminine qualities.

Powers and Abilities
Peach isn't a typical "damsel-in-distress," as she is described as in the cartoons and other sources. When held captive Peach either sneaks around to find out information, or sends useful items to Mario. Besides these abilities Peach has many more; most of them deal with hearts. Peach also has never been regarded as a physically strong person, but she makes up for it in technique and skill.

Skills
Peach can jump in the air and float using her dress. Princess Peach also has a parasol that helps her float or attack enemies. As shown in several games, she can pluck vegetables and hurl them at enemies. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach has a powerful special attack called the Peach Bomber. She twirls and then rams her buttocks into the opponent, who is then engulfed in an explosion. She can also take her crown off and wack her opponents. In recent games, such as Mario Strikers Charged, she has been shown to be fast and agile. She can somersault over opposing teams. She can also summon cameras to aid her. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Peach is a Skill-type player. She has high speed and a high level of skill, but decent stamina and low power. Peach is the only female character to have the highest level of skill but the lowest power. She does well in events such as Archery, Vault, and Aquatics.

Princess Peach is very graceful. When performing the Heart Shot in Mario Hoops 3 on 3, she will perform elegant moves while dribbling out the shape of a triangle. Peach is also into ball-room dancing, singing, and plays the piano. It is also hinted that she likes playing video games and gardening. In many of her victory scenes Peach will do delicate twirls. Her heart abilities are once again shown in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Her Final Smash is Peach Blossom. Decorative hearts flutter around her and a decorative "border" featuring blossoming peach trees and two images of Princess Peach adorns the area around her. As Peach dances in a spotlight to a short musical piece, all of her opponents fall into a deep Sleep and take damage.

Princess Peach is mostly shown to be the heart princess. She can use hearts to absorb attacks as shown in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. When she hits the ball nicely in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, a trail of hearts will follow the ball. Peach uses the power of love in Mario Power Tennis. To recover the ball, she will blow a kiss and hearts will appear and bring the ball to her. When she performs a Super Strike in Super Mario Strikers, hearts will follow the soccer ball. Peach uses her heart abilities again in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Mario Super Sluggers.In the latter game, Peach can use her Heart Power to interact with objects in Challenge Mode. Her hitting ability greatly increases when she uses her Heart Swing. A star-lit bluish and pink background appears as Peach traces out the shape of a heart with her bat. After which she hits it shattering it into smaller hearts; the hearts travel with the ball and daze anyone who tries to catch the ball. For her Heart Ball, Peach winks and blows a kiss. She then dances while charging up and then pitches the ball fast.

Mario
Mario is shown to be Peach's close companion since childhood. Mario saves Peach quite often and she usually will bake him a cake or kiss him upon her rescue. Since Peach's debut appearance, the two have been largely speculated to be in a romantic relationship. This is confirmed in the official European Mario website, in which Peach is listed as Mario's girlfriend.

In Luigi's Mansion, she sends Toad to help Luigi search for his brother, and in Mario Party 5, Peach and Mario are called "Cutest Couple". They also share chemistry together in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers, as they are "buddy players". Mario Power Tennis even goes as far as showing Mario himself telling Peach of his love for her in Peach's victory scene. Peach responded with a smile and blew a kiss. Also, in Mario's victory scene in Mario Power Tennis, Peach gives him a small kiss on his cheek. They both show deep devotion to each other as depicted in many of the games, especially in the Paper Mario series. In the comic "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen", published in the German Club Nintendo magazine, it is even revealed that they spent their graduation ball in school together, and that Peach decided in favor of Mario and against Wario.

In the first Paper Mario, one of the Toads tells Mario to take Peach on a date to Shooting Star Summit. For the official guide of Yoshi's Island DS, in the description for Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo, Nintendo mentioned that before the "romantic entanglements" in their adult lives, they teamed up as babies to stop evil. Also the official guide for Mario Party 8 stated that Peach is apple of Mario's eye. Rosalina in Super Mario Galaxy even referred to Peach as Mario's 'Special One'.

Luigi
Luigi is portrayed to be Peach's close friend. In any game where Luigi can switch Mario for the same role, Peach reacts to him in the same manner she does to Mario. Luigi also reacts to her in the same manner Mario does. Luigi is seen swooning over her in her Mario Power Tennis victory scene with hearts in his eyes. They also appear together in Diddy's and Koopa's cutscenes. In Super Paper Mario Luigi comes to Peach's rescue in an attempt to stop Count Bleck and the wedding between Peach and Bowser. Luigi's storyline in Super Mario Galaxy is almost the same as Mario's, and Princess Rosalina calls Peach, Luigi and Mario's "special one". The two share chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball, and are called "Green Eschort" in Mario Party 5.

In the Mario & Wario arc of Super Mario Adventures, Luigi is the one who brought the Samus Doll for Peach. Excited over her present, she gave him a kiss.

Bowser
Bowser has repeatedly kidnapped Peach over a dozen times, and torments her kingdom constantly. It has been shown Bowser has fallen in love with her, and wants to win her heart.

Bowser was embarrassed at first for anyone to know of his secret as depicted in Paper Mario, but he has been more open in expressing himself in later games. An example of this was seen in Mario Power Tennis, where he tried to get Peach to kiss him in front of the spectators; an attempt that failed. In the sequel to Paper Mario, Bowser set out to kidnap her back from Grodus. The two do not play well when together in Mario Superstar Baseball because of their bad chemistry. In Super Paper Mario, Peach and Bowser are supposedly married by Count Bleck, making them husband and wife. Although they were wed by Count Bleck, who is obviously not authorized to do such a thing, which means that the wedding is a "sham" and, therefore, unofficial. Bowser though, continued to believe in the marriage. In other media Bowser had been shown to have feelings for her as well.

Despite his feelings for her, Peach does not display them back. She does not, however, hold a grudge against him. Peach called Bowser sweet in Super Paper Mario, and even showed some form of concern for him. Overall, when Bowser is not kidnapping her, Peach is nice to him and likes him, as long as he does not cause trouble.

Wario
Peach and Wario have interacted over the years. Wario has aided in her rescue during the events of Super Mario 64 DS. In Mario Superstar Baseball, Wario asked her if she wanted to be his girl, after beating her in his story mode. Wario was unhappy about her winning tournaments in Mario Power Tennis, as seen in her victory scene. Wario and Peach were rivaled against each other in the intro for Mario Strikers Charged. Their team names in the Mario Party series are "Royal Pain", "Mismatch Pair", "Sugar 'n' Spies", and "Rotten Peaches".

In the Mario & Wario arc of Super Mario Adventures, Wario tried to buy Peach's prize item, a Samus Doll, for her birthday before Mario.

Princess Daisy
Princess Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be good friends since Daisy's big comeback appearance in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Soon after in Mario Tennis (GBC), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in any cut-scenes. If something involves partners in the Mario spin-offs, the two will usually be a team. Daisy and Peach share a team orb, the flower orb, in Mario Party 7, share a team item, the Heart, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and are automatic partners in a vast amount of other games as well.

While Daisy and Peach are good friends, they are rivaled against each other in games like Super Mario Strikers, where the two face-off in the intro, and in Mario Strikers Charged, where the two go up against each other in Challenge Mode. In the Super Mario manga series, the two have a friendly rivalry.

Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the game Mario Superstar Baseball, and she appears as the second member of Peach's team in story mode. Nintendo's Mario Power Tennis Website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship. In the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii official guides published by Prima and licensed by Nintendo, Daisy's biographies state that Peach is her cousin. Mario Super Sluggers is the first game to show the two sharing dialog. Peach was shown to have a lot of concern for Daisy’s welfare.

Toad
Toad is Princess Peach's obedient servant, and often tries to protect her. Thrice he got kidnapped by the Koopa Troop trying to save her from Bowser, and other times he is seen to dote on her. This is further influenced by the fact that Toad is one of the eight Mushroom Retainers. The two are called 'Royal Family' in Mario Party 5 and 'Loyal Friends' in Mario Party 8.

Bowser Jr.


Bowser Jr. appeared in Super Mario Sunshine claiming Peach was his mother. It is stated in Brawl he felt so strongly about her, he kidnapped her. Junior, as shown in Super Mario Sunshine, liked Peach and tried to get her to join him and Bowser, but Peach politely refused the offer.

Even though Bowser Jr. knows Peach is not his mother, he still called her 'mama' in Mario Superstar Baseball. Bowser Jr. also must be present on Peach's team in order for the team to be call Peach Princesses. Bowser Jr. has kidnapped her in Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros., and Mario Super Sluggers.

Toadette
Toadette and Peach are close freinds. Evidence of this can be seen in the player chemistry they share in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. Toadette is also on Peach's default team. It is stated in the guide for Mario Kart Wii that Toadette was excited after getting permission from Peach to race, indicating a family-like bond.

This is further supported in Mario Party DS. It is stated that after Peach heard Toadette play a music piece, she gave her a set of touching trumpets. Peach was touched when she discovered how happy Toadette was to have them. In addition to the trumpets Peach also gave her a table. Toadette currenty resides with Peach in her castle.

Others
Peach has had minor interactions with major characters such as Toadsworth, Yoshi, Waluigi, Birdo, Petey Piranha, and Donkey Kong.

There is much confusion surrounding Peach and Toadsworth's relationship. It is said on Nintendo.com's page for Super Mario Sunshine that he is Peach's father. However, it has been stated in games and game booklets that Toadsworth is Peach's stewart. Additionally, in Mario Superstar Baseball, when naming all of the players on Peach's team, Lakitu says "And... your grandpa?! Oh, pardon me! Venerable Toadsworth!" All is known though is that Peach is very close to Toadsworth and he is very protective of her, and has cared for her since she was a baby.

Yoshi rescued Peach in Super Mario 64 DS and Peach at times rides on his back. Interactions with Waluigi and Birdo are seen in their team names in the Mario Party series, such as "Sweet 'n' Sour", "Anti-Couple", and "Pink Superpowers". Waluigi also appears in cutscenes with Peach in Mario Power Tennis. In Mario Super Sluggers, Peach is seen watching the fireworks with Birdo.

"The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Writers Bible" Biography
''Our indomitable royal heroine is definitely no old-fashioned damsel-in-distress, who does little more than wait to be rescued. She's very much a charming, energetic, contemporary young woman. Chronologically, a seventeen-year-old, but with a royal sense of responsibility and noblesse oblige that few teenagers possess. Because of her intelligence and intimate knowledge of her domain, she often takes charge of the rescue mission and comes up with the clever plan to foil King Koopa's latest plot. Her people respect and admire her. She regards the Mario Bros. as her closest friends, and is extremely grateful that they have left their own world to come help save hers. It's no easy task rescuing a kingdom, and what makes it even worse in Super Mario 3 [sic], is that King Koopa's kids regard Princess Toadstool as their prime target for troublemaking.
