-;''[[Momotaro]]'' (1988) : One night after an elderly couple's granddaughter was kidnapped by a terrible ogre, a gigantic peach fell from the sky.  When it landed and split open, a boy named Momotaro (played by [[Mario]]) emerged.  The grandparents kindly took him in, but when Momotaro heard about their granddaughter, he set out to rescue her.  Wearing a headband emblazoned with a peach emblem over his [[Mario's Hat|hat]], the peach became his symbol.<br clear=all>
+;''[[Momotaro]]'' (1988) : ''Momotaro'', which roughly means, "peach boy" in Japanese, is a retelling of the Japanese fable Momotarō with Mario characters, but the presentation of the peach was vastly different.  In the original fable, the peach restored the [[Hammer Bro.|couple's]] fertility and they gave birth to [[Mario|Momotaro]].  This version appears to be based off of more child-friendly tellings which have Momotaro float down a river inside of a peach.  Additionally, the use of the peach as his symbol is an artistic license taken by the writers.  Additionally, the VHS box features peaches profusely.<br clear=all>

 ;''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (1996) : Peaches are given a passing reference in this title.  During the second battle with [[Belome]], the [[boss]] can consume [[Toadstool|Princess Peach]] as one of his attacks.  He comments that she tastes "peachy" immediately after doing so.<br clear=all>
