Peach's Parasol

Peach's Parasol (also called Peach's Umbrella) is what Princess Peach uses to defend herself and to glide in the air. In some games, it replaces and acts like her floating dress ability from Super Mario Bros. 2. Peach has been using this parasol ever since she was a baby.

Peach's parasol appears in Super Mario Maker when her costume is selected. It appears while she's jumping and when performing her unique pose.

Super Princess Peach
The parasol Peach uses in Super Princess Peach actually has a mind of its own. It is implied in-game that this parasol was once a human being until two sorcerers' magic transformed him. She can whack enemies with him and give him various upgrades. Perry can even eat enemies to refill the Vibe Gauge.

Super Paper Mario
The parasol appears in Super Paper Mario, where Peach can use it to float and defend herself while crouching. In later games, the parasol has retained the heart-shaped grip since this game.

Paper Mario: Color Splash
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Peach can be seen holding the parasol when she first arrives at Port Prisma, along with in official artwork for the game. In the digital manual, when asked where she keeps the parasol, Peach claims that it is none of the viewer's business.

The parasol appears in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, where it is one of the available gliders.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, the parasol makes a cameo in the credits.

Super Smash Bros. series
The parasol appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee where it is a special move. She can glide in the air with it and hit opponents. It also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the same function and its Super Paper Mario design. In The Subspace Emissary in Brawl, Peach briefly carries the parasol around while strolling on the Halberd's deck, and later gives it to a just-restored Mr. Game & Watch shortly after scolding him.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, two additional variations are added, Parasol High Jump and Light Parasol. Parasol High Jump has her jump high, but she does not float with the parasol, making her helpless after the jump. Light Parasol decreases the initial jump height, but every time she opens the parasol, she can slightly glide upward. After this sequence has been performed four consecutive times, she becomes helpless.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, after the Icicle Golem freezes Mario's team, Peach uses the parasol to glide through the air to save them.

Mario Golf: World Tour
Peach wields her parasol in her victory animation whenever she gets a Birdie or an Eagle. It is implied to be magical, as after waving her parasol around for a bit, she then swings it and has her miniskirt change into her trademark dress.
