This was a valid detail.
(Removing, what is considered a "mainstream appearance" seems a bit confusing IMO, if anyone has a better way to rephrase it feel free to revert.)

===Powers and abilities===
Like other ''Super Mario'' characters, Peach can [[Jump]] and [[Ground Pound]]; she also slaps opponents, which is her specialty, rather than [[punch]]ing. While not very strong physically, she makes up for it in technique and skill, and many games reveal her to be fast and agile as well. She is also shown to be very graceful, often embellishing attacks and victory scenes alike with elegant movements, twirls, and dances. With the release of ''Super Mario 3D World'', Peach is able to use power-ups, such as the [[Fire Flower]], [[Super Leaf]], [[Super Bell]], and [[Double Cherry]], among other power-ups and items. She also has the unique ability to [[Floating Jump|float in mid-air]] by means of her skirt, first seen in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', and can also use [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] to achieve this same effect. This ability returns in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. She also uses the Floating Jump in [[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]. In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', she is shown to be able to slow down her descent from a fairly large height.
