The '''Sprixie Princesses''' are a group of seven characters from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They act as the rulers of the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] and the [[Sprixie]]s, a race of fairies who play a major role in the story. The British English release of ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'' refers to the green Sprixie Princess as the sole Sprixie Princess and refers to the others as her followers.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/718915-super-mario-3d-world/69189908 A GameFAQs topic that shows the developer's comments for the soundtrack.] The comment for the track '[[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]]' reads: "''The Sprixie Princess and her followers have been captured by Bowser! But before you get round to rescuing them, you'll want to spend a bit of time exploring the opening World. This laid back tune is just perfect for getting your bearings.''"</ref> Due to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]] deciding to make [[Princess Peach]] a playable character as opposed to having her reprise her usual damsel-in-distress role as how [[Koichi Hayashida]] and [[Kenta Motokura]] initially intended it to be, the Sprixie Princesses became the damsels in distress getting captured by Bowser in lieu of Peach.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/12/4421244/nintendo-thinking-on-a-different-frequency-with-playable-princess Nintendo thinking on a different frequency with playable Princess Peach]</ref>
