{{quote|Everybody says that I'm the fairest of them all!|Princess Daisy|Mario Party 3}}
'''Princess Daisy''' (Japanese: デイジー姫, ''Deijī-Hime'') is the princess of [[Sarasaland]], who first appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Although she is the ruler of Sarasaland, Daisy's current place of residence is in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].<ref>Characters!!. [http://marioparty6.com/launch/ ''Mario Party 6'' official website]. Retrieved June 24, [[2008]]. "Peach missed female companionship until this girl with the orange hair moved into the Mushroom Kingdom."</ref> Daisy is known to be a tomboy, and her special abilities often deal with flowers. As such, her representations and personal emblems are often flowers of yellow, orange, and turquoise colorings. She shares a friendly rivalry with [[Princess Peach]], and is also good friends with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Princess Daisy is resembled to the better princess. Princess Daisy unlike [[Princess Peach]], is physicially stronger and faster than [[Princess Peach|Peach]].
Years after the release of ''Super Mario Land'' Daisy started appearing in more and more Mario games; this was due to the lack of [[human]] characters in the series.<ref>[http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html]</ref> She now appears in the majority of Mario games; most regularly as a playable character. Like other major characters, Daisy has a [[Baby Daisy|baby]], who has appeared in recent titles as a playable character. Daisy was created by [[Gunpei Yokoi]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s mentor. Yokoi passed away eight years after her debut appearance, and three years before she appeared as a major character in another Mario game. It is possible that Daisy's re-debut into the Mario series was part of a tribute to his passing. Daisy has appeared in over thrity-five mario games to date for the Mario series, and continues to do so regularly.
==History==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:SMLDAISY.PNG|thumb|98px|Daisy in her debut. (''Super Mario Land'')]]
===''Super Mario Land'' series===
====''Super Mario Land''====
During the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Sarasaland, a neighboring desert nation friendly to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], was invaded by the space invader [[Tatanga]]. His armies conquered the country, and Daisy, the leader of Sarasaland, was kidnapped by him. [[Mario]] attempted to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland. Mario had to travel through each kingdom of Sarasaland, fighting new enemies at the end of each one. Every time he defeated a level's [[Boss]], what appeared to be Daisy would thank the hero; however it turned out that common enemies were simply disguised as Daisy, forcing Mario to explore another kingdom. In the end Mario found the real Daisy being held captive by Tatanga. After a long battle in his plane, the [[Sky Pop]], Mario was able to defeat Tatanga and rescue Daisy. The game ends with Mario and Daisy flying away in the Sky Pop.
====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
Although Daisy did not actually appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the game revealed that [[Wario]] had, in fact, hired Tatanga to kidnap Princess Daisy in the previous game. Wario used Princess Daisy's kidnapping as bait to lure Mario to Sarasaland. This gave Wario the time to conquer [[Mario Land]] while Mario was distracted.
===''Mario Golf'' series===
====''NES Open Tournament Golf''====
For a period of time, Daisy was considered an obscure character in the Mario franchise. After being rescued from Tatanga, Daisy snagged a cameo as [[Luigi]]'s caddy in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. Like Peach did for Mario, Daisy would send remarks to Luigi while golfing. While there were other female non-playable characters in the game, it is unknown whether or not they were intended to be either Daisy or Peach.
====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====
[[Image:MGTTDaisyflower.PNG|thumb|210px|Daisy getting a nice hit. (''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'')]]
Daisy made her first golfing debut in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' for the Gamecube. Statistics wise, Daisy was one of the strongest characters in the game; surpassing power character [[Wario]], Daisy had almost as much strength behind her swing as [[Donkey Kong]]. If the player were to get a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball would soar through the air in a burst of flower petals. This meant that, ''Toadstool Tour'', was actually the first game in which Daisy used any sort of flower ability. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners; this combination would set a trend for later spinoff installments after this one.
This is also the first game which Daisy wears her current "main sports outfit" for the majority of Gamecube, Wii, and DS Mario series' sports installments. More details can be found [[Princess_Daisy#Basic_Sports|here]].
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
====''Mario Tennis''====
[[Image:Falltripdaisy.png|thumb|150px|left|Daisy after receiving her trophy in ''Mario Tennis''.]]
Daisy made her reappearance about one decade after the release of ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', in the game ''[[Mario Tennis]]'', the first of many appearances.
Statistics wise, Daisy competed as a Technical player, and was one of the few female competitors. Stated to be a tom-boy, Daisy sported a look very similar to that of her appearance in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'' (the exceptions being her missing crown, and short-lived tan).
In the Game Boy Color version of ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy was not a playable character; but she is seen as a supporting character during certain events of the game.
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', re-introduced Daisy's Technical style of play. Unlike the first ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy no longer had her clumsy personality; it was replaced with her refined energetic style taken from ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]], known as [[Wonder Flower]], would disorient opponents and knock them back if returned. Still, her [[Defensive Power Shot]], the [[Flowerbed Return]], allowed Daisy to fly over a growing flower bed to return any reachable shots. This is the second installment in the Mario series' spin-off category sports-wise where she is shown to use her special flower abilities.
===[[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]===
====''Mario Party 3''====
[[Image:MP3Art.PNG|thumb|left|190px|Daisy coutering a pitch in the "Hey, Batter Batter!" mini-game. (''Mario Party 3'')]]
''[[Mario Party 3]]'' marked Daisy's first entry as a participant in the ''Mario Party'' series after her return in ''Mario Tennis (N64)''; her personality from that game endured, but her tomboyish side was more emphasized and she was notably boastful. Proving she was no longer a "damsel-in-distress", Daisy punched [[Bowser]] sending him soaring into the sky; simply because he was in her way. Her partner in battle mode was a [[Snifit]], whom had a large attack strength and defense. Daisy, like [[Waluigi]], was not playable in the story mode of the game; however, she appeared after the player completed the first five regular Duel Boards. When this occurred, Daisy buttered-up the [[Millennium Star]] into giving her the Beauty [[Star Stamp]]. The Millennium Star began to award her the Star Stamp, but the player contested the decision. The Millennium Star decided that the player and Daisy should duel on the [[Backtrack|Backtrack Board]] for the stamp. Once defeated, Daisy runs off while shouting, ''"Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!"''; this is the only hint to another ruler of Sarasaland.
====''Mario Party 4''====
In the fourth installment of the  ''Mario Party'' series, [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Goomba]], [[Boo]] and [[Shy Guy]] all find the odd, mystical [[Party Cube]]. They then invite the whole Mario crew to another party that's hosted inside it. Daisy agrees along with the rest of the crew, but as usual, [[Bowser]] enters to ruin things with his own board, hosted by [[Koopa Kid]].
Throughout Story Mode, Daisy receives [[Daisy Room|her items]] as rewards for completing each board, and defeating the board's host in a mini-game. Upon completion of [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]] board, and the [[The Final Battle!|Final Battle Cube]], Bowser rewards Daisy with Bowser's Teapot, the final item for Daisy's Room.
This is also the first game in which Daisy is seen in her current main dress, along with [[Peach]].
====''Mario Party 7''====
[[Image:DaisyMP7.PNG|thumb|220px|Daisy participating in the [[Deck Hands]] game. (''Mario Party 7'')]]
Invited by [[Toadsworth]], Daisy and the others join-up to go on a [[Peach's Cruiser|luxury cruise]] around the world in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. However, Toadsworth did not invite Bowser. This makes Bowser furious, so he plans revenge. When the cruise ship arrives at its first destination, Daisy and the others realize that Bowser has turned their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse. The goal is to gather stars, but each board requires one to do that in a different way.
In Solo Mode, once Daisy defeats Bowser in the [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno|Enchanted Inferno]], she leaves on Peach's Cruiser. Daisy is last shown waving good-bye to Bowser and her vacation. When Team Mode is selected, Daisy's automatic partner is Peach, and their team orb is the [[Flower Orb]].
====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Daisy was informed by Mario, along with the rest of the characters, that she had received an invitation to go to Bowser's Castle. They all tentatively accepted the invite, but were trapped and shrunken down to size where they then started a friendly rivalry to see who would be the next Super Star to challenge Bowser himself.
===[[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]===
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Daisy was introduced to the ''Mario Kart'' series of spinoff installments, starting with ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. In that game, Daisy was [[Princess Peach]]'s default partner, and they shared with one another the best defensive special Items|item in the game, the [[Heart]]. Like Peach, Daisy was placed in the middle-weight category. Additionally, Daisy had a personal kart dedicated to her called the [[Bloom Coach]]; the kart being an [[unlockable]]. Along with that, she had her own race course called the [[Daisy Cruiser]] (accessed in the Flower Cup's third level in Grand Prix mode). Additionally, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the [[Peach Beach]] and [[Yoshi Circuit]] courses.
====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[Image:PowerFlower.jpg|Daisy in her ''Power Flower''.''(Mario Kart DS)''|thumb|left]]
After ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Princess Daisy joined the ''Mario Kart'' portable racing scene in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' being one of the unlockable participants (by getting a Gold Trophy on every cup in the Retro Grand Prix on 50cc). This was Daisy's second handheld appearance overall since her debut to the Mario series in ''Super Mario Land''. Daisy was a light-weight character unlike in ''Double Dash'' where she appeared as a middle-weight. Daisy's three karts were: Standard DS, [[Power Flower (kart)|Power Flower]], and [[Light Dancer]]; the second two being unlockable. Like other secret characters, Daisy was not featured in any mission modes. Daisy was the staff ghost character for the [[Sky Garden]] and [[Tick-Tock Clock]] courses. Daisy's name appears on shop-like signs throughout [[Delfino Square]].
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
:''See also: [[Baby Daisy]].
[[Image:LuigiDaisyStaue.PNG|thumb|350px|Fountain from the Daisy Circuit. (''Mario Kart Wii'')]]
Daisy appears as a Medium-Sized unlockable character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' (by winning the 150cc Special Cup in 1st place, or by playing 2,850 games). Daisy shares the Medium-Sized group of karts and bikes, but all in her own personal style. Like Peach and Rosalina, Daisy swaps her dress for a new biker suit whenever driving in any of the bike vehicles. [[Baby Daisy]], the baby counterpart of herself, makes her first appearance in the series as an unlockable character as well.
Daisy's new course in the Star Cup called [[Daisy Circuit]], is her own seaside resort. Daisy Circuit is adorned with various flowery motifs, [[Daisy Cruiser|luxury cruise ships]], a hotel resort, and golden statues that top large fountains. Daisy, along with Mario, Luigi, and Peach, appear in the [[Block Plaza]] battle course as large statues on each of the surrounding block platforms which move over time. Daisy's flower emblem appears throughout the [[Dry Dry Ruins (course)|Dry Dry Ruins]] course, and as seen in the Daisy Circuit she has her own brand of candy. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the [[Coconut Mall]] and [[Daisy Circuit]] levels.
Daisy is commonly used to get good Time Trial records due to her good speed bonus.  That makes vehicles like the [[Mach Bike]] move slightly faster than normal.  However, her speed bonus is also rivaled by [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Daisy]], and [[Funky Kong]].
===''Mario Baseball'' series===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
[[Image:DaisyBatting.PNG|left|200px|thumb|Replay of Daisy at the batter's plate. (''Mario Superstar Baseball'')]]
Daisy made her first appearance on the baseball field in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as a Balanced player; however, she leaned more towards the Technique type. Daisy appeared in Challenge Mode as the secondary Team Captain on Peach's team. Daisy shared good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shared bad chemistry with characters like [[Waluigi]] and [[Petey Piranha]]. This was also the first game that stated Daisy to be physically stronger than Peach, though she has had a higher level of strength in past games. Daisy's special pitch (the [[Flower Ball]]) allowed her to throw a gust of flower petals, hiding the ball from any opponents. When at bat, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal, and like before is hidden by flower petals. In the game's Challenge Mode, Daisy was only able to use this move once the player had purchased the [[Pretty Flowers]] power-up. Daisy's special talents were the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch, and her strong points were pitching and batting.
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[Image:Daisy-mss-intro-2.png|thumb|250px|Daisy countering a pitch thrown from Mario in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
Daisy appears again as one of the Team Captains for ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Like the previous installment, ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Daisy shares chemistry with Peach and Luigi, but now she also shares chemistry with Birdo. The Daisy Cruiser returns again also, but this time as a baseball stadium. Also, like last time, Daisy's special moves deal with her renowned flower abilities. For Daisy's ''Flower Swing'' (when she's up to bat), upon successful exectuion she swings around with flower petals all-about, and a flower like ring appears at the tip of her bat with a turquoise center at the tip of the bat, making it appear as her usual flower symbol. Daisy then hits the ball causing it to soar through the air, and once the ball's destination is set a patch of daises pops up from the ground surrounded by a small garden-fence, blocking any players from getting in range of catching the ball. For Daisy's ''Flower Ball'' (when she's up to pitch on the fielding end), Daisy winks at the camera before jumping straight up through a barrage of flowers, and she then spins before throwing the covered ball.
Although Daisy is available from the start overall, she has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode. In order to do this, the player must go through a set of tasks in order for her to be available. Once the player enters the [[Peach Ice Garden]], they talk to a Red Toad who informs them that Daisy has been turned into a statue by Bowser Jr., who has already made his way through the rest of the garden area. After completing other tasks, the player returns to see the Toad defending Daisy from a Boomerang Bro., who is trying to remove her for evil purposes. Once defeated, the Boomerang Bro. leaves, and the player convinces the Toad to move Daisy from the first panel to the panel where Toadsworth is standing. This fixes the fountain, and lets the player access the ball-field of the garden. The player then rescues Peach, and Daisy is turned back to her normal state. Afterwards, the player must obtain a Toad statue found in a bush to put it in the place of Daisy's current position. This once again lets someone leave the panel, but leaves the fountain working properly. Daisy then is able to join the overall roster to assist in saving the rest of the Baseball Kingdom from Bowser Jr.'s invasion attempts.
In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the '''Daisy Flowers'''. The icon for this team includes Daisy's crown, along with a floral wreath used as the border around it.
===''Mario Football'' series===
====''Mario Smash Football''====
Once again Daisy joined up with the Mario crew, this time to play football. Daisy was introduced to the ''[[Mario Football]]'' series in the first installment, ''[[Mario Smash Football]]''. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain, who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the [[Super Strike]] called [[Torpedo Strike]]. The Torpedo Strike can be classified as flower power due to the original name, and the flowers that emit from its finish. Rather than appear in her formal sports attire, Daisy and the rest of the crew wore soccer jerseys.
====''Mario Strikers Charged Football''====
Daisy also appeared in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', the follow-up to ''Mario Smash Football'' for the Nintendo Gamecube. Now qualified as a Defensive Captain, Daisy had a personal [[Super Ability]] and [[Mega Strike]]. Daisy's Super Ability was [[Crystal Smash!]], which covered the surrounding ground with orange crystals, blasting away anyone in range. In her Mega Strike, Daisy summoned a crystal gauntlet around her hand, and punched the ball towards the goal, this being one of the few times in the game where someone used their hands to make contact with the ball. In the games Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faced up against both [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Waluigi]]. She battled Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she took on Waluigi to see if she could get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year.
===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
[[Image:Highjump.PNG|thumb|170px|Daisy participating in the High Jump event.]]
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' for the Wii and DS, Daisy appeared as, for the first time, a Speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy was a good choice for a variety of play. Although the game doesn't offer a selection of events most complementary to special techniques, there are events that use them. In her fencing special, Daisy's flower power propelled her forward, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, Daisy spun around with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and knocked the ball back covered in petals with increased speed.
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====
[[Image:Msowg_thegals.png|thumb|200px|left|Daisy (far right) along with Blaze, Amy, and Peach. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'')]] Daisy makes her appearance as a playable character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' also for the DS and Wii. Following a trend from previous installments, Daisy and other females sport a new outfit specifically for the winter games. As of yet, Daisy's technique stats remain unknown at this time.
==Miscellaneous games==
===''Mario is Missing''===
After ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', a [[Booth Woman]] resembling Daisy appeared as the clerk at an information center in the game ''[[Mario is Missing]]''. The woman was never named, but appeared in every level, and was almost identical to Daisy's only current in-game colored model. Like other people Luigi spoke to throughout the game, she provided Luigi with information about the area where the green plumber was, or information on the artifact Luigi was holding.
[[Image:DaisyHoops.PNG|thumb|Daisy's profile artwork (''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'')]]
===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
Daisy made her second [[Nintendo DS]] appearance in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. As she had been depicted before, Daisy was a Technical player. Daisy's [[Special Shot]] was the [[Flower Shot]], which let Daisy hover in mid-air to kick the ball into the hoop; the flower shot is activated by tapping a vertically flipped triangle. Unlockable was a refined version of Daisy's original sports attire. Like previous sports titles, Daisy once again had her own stage, this time [[Daisy Garden]]; a garden where two [[Petey Piranha]] species characters replace normal basketball hoops. This made it difficult to dunk, but easy to shoot.
===''Itadaki Street DS''===
Daisy also appeared in the Dragon Quest crossover game, ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', which was a Japan only release. Daisy was a playable character, and her non-playable role had something to do with the [[Mario Stadium (Mario Superstar Baseball)|Mario Stadium]] from ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''.
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
[[Image:Daisy5.jpg|thumb|left|[[Princess Peach]] in her Daisy pallet design. (''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'')]]
Although Daisy did not make a playable appearance in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she did appear as a number of stickers, and her own trophy. Daisy's trophy is modeled after her ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'' appearance, as it is said to "compliment her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from ''Mario Party 7'' and ''Mario Smash Football''. The ''Mario Party 7'' sticker, is large in size and gives +27 attack to leg attacks. It is only usable by Peach and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The ''Mario Smash Football'' sticker's size is medium, and it's area of effect is once again leg strikes giving an attack of +5, and being available for use by all characters.
It should be noted that like other characters, Peach once again had a recolor that mimics the pallet design of Daisy's model. When selecting the random button for the [[player]]'s name and the stage's name, Daisy's name pops up by chance as '''DAISY'''; other character names appear as well.
{{endspoiler}}
==Physical Description and Traits==
===Current Depiction===
Daisy is portrayed as an orange-haired girl with blue eyes, wearing a floor length yellow and orange dress with wrist-length gloves. Daisy's dress has broad shoulders with white floral frills peering out of them. Daisy's collar is also a white floral frill, as well are the openings of her gloves. At Daisy's waist are two orange [[wikipedia:Pannier (clothing)|paniers]], used to accent the dresses frame. Daisy also wears turquoise, flower-shaped, jewels throughout her outfit. Included in the set is a set of earrings, a brooch, and flower jewels on her crown. Daisy's crown is golden with four jewels. The front and back jewels being the turquoise flowers followed throughout the rest of her outfit, and at each side is one round ruby jewel. At the bottom of the dress are two orange loops, which are another hoop apart in width, and dark orange dress shoes.
Daisy's hair is depicted anywhere in-between shades of brown and orange, though it has been stated she has orange hair.<ref>[http://marioparty6.com/launch/]</ref> Daisy's hair style is parted down the middle, and consists of seven thick flips at the back-end.  Two parted bangs are included, which have two small separated parts in the middle. At each edge of the fringe are two flips, and depending on the angle, two of the four are sometimes hidden. Daisy hairstyle also has short sideburns in front of her earrings. Unlike Peach, Daisy does not need to tie her hair up when participating in special activities.
Daisy's skin is very light and fair in complexion. Being the lightest of many characters, Daisy's complexion is often seen as pallor next to those with darker skin tones. Daisy's eyebrows are of a light shade, and are thin as well as lengthy. Daisy's eyes are very large, as are her pupils. Daisy's eyes consist of two thick lashes, and like every other main [[Human]] Mario character, Daisy has a shade of blue eyes. Daisy's face is describable as round, with baby-faced cheeks, and a slightly square jaw-line.
Daisy is one of the taller main characters, being passed only by the larger scaled, such as [[Waluigi]] and [[Rosalina]]. Daisy and Peach appear to have similar measurements when it comes to their body compositions, but Daisy has been shown to be slightly shorter when closely compared. Regardless of her thin, feminine size, Daisy is portrayed to be the stronger of many characters.<ref>[[Media:PeachDaisySize.png|Size Chart]]</ref>
===Athletic Wear===
[[Image:MaSatOG - Daisy.jpg|thumb|left|130px|Daisy wearing her "main sports outfit".]]
====Basic Sports====
In most of the recent Mario sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, and DS systems, Daisy's "main sports outfit" includes orange shorts, a yellow sleeveless shirt, and the usual flower accessories. The shorts include two yellow hoops at the bottom, and two yellow curved lines running from the side seams to the front waist. Also included are a pair of orange and yellow athletic shoes with two lace straps on each. Unless appearing in a ''Mario Party'' or ''Mario Kart'' game, Daisy will be depicted in this instead of her current main princess outfit. Daisy's "main sports outfit" was first seen in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', in which it also marked her first time participating in the Gamecube series of Mario sport game installments. As stated earlier, Daisy has been seen wearing this outfit for most of the Gamecube, Wii, and DS Mario sports installments, with the latest one being ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
[[Image:SMSArt.PNG|thumb|150px|Artwork of Daisy for ''Mario Smash Football''.]]
====Soccer====
In ''Mario Smash Football'', Daisy wears a 2-piece soccer outfit. The outfit consists of an orange midriff-baring crop top with turquoise as a secondary color and white as an accent color. The top also has a flower emblem with Daisy's soccer number. The shorts are in the same fashion as the top. Her cleats are turquoise and white with orange soles that have the letter "D" for Daisy on the heel. She also wears white soccer gloves with orange and black wristbands as well as orange shin-guards. Unlike many other sports outfits, this does not include her flower brooch.
Later on in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', Daisy wears orange midriff-baring battle armor along with orange shorts and orange and turquoise cleats; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Aside from the increased amount of protective equipment, the outfit includes numerous flower patterns, and is available in two colors; this is due to the necessary change of colors when certain teams with similar team colors face off. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her armor. Daisy appears in this outfit for her [[Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to show off her spunky nature.
====Kart Racing====
As motorbikes were a newly added feature to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Daisy wears a biker outfit if riding on any of them (along with [[Princess_Peach#Biker_Outfit|Peach]] and [[Rosalina#Athletic_Wear|Rosalina]]). However, Daisy's biker outfit has a white and yellow color combination, and as usual, includes her flower jewelry as seen in her current main outfit. Daisy's biker outfit also includes a refined version of her floral gloves, yellow biker boots, and a yellow scarf that rests to the side of her chest (the scarf is wrapped above her floral collar making it hard to see). A yellow heart with an orange outline is present on her back; the heart is hidden by her hair unless it is flowing up.
====Winter Wear====
[[Image:Msowg_daisy_skiing.png|250px|thumb|right|Daisy attempting the Downhill Skiing event. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'')]]
As the name implies, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' involves many snow based events. As a result, Daisy wears a winter outfit that is exclusive to all of the game's events. The contents include white skate boots with yellow lacing, white winter gloves, and the usual flower jewelry including crown. Additionally, the outfit includes long orange sleeves with a white line accenting each arm. It also lengthens out into a mini-dress with a single white hoop at the bottom. As it is a winter outfit, under the mini-dress is a pair of tight orange winter pants accented in the same way as her sleeves.
Other female participants in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' wear winter clothing for this installment as well. [[Princess_Peach#Winter_Outfit|Princess Peach]] wears an outfit in the same fashion as Daisy. The overall design of Peach's outfit is similar to Daisy's; however, differences include color scheme and the obligatory elements to match her unique persona.
===Personality===
[[Image:ItadakiDaisy.PNG|thumb|160px|left|Artwork of Daisy for ''Itadaki Street DS''.]]
When it comes down to it, Daisy can be defined best as a tomboy. It has been said that Daisy is always full of energy, and it's evident due to her cheerful nature. Her team name when partnered with [[Boo]] in Mario Party 8 happens to be "High Spirited Duo"; obviously basing it off the fact Boo is a spirit and that Daisy is full of spirit. Words and phrases used to describe Daisy include: Tomboy, cheerful, full of energy, bright, lively, unique, upbeat, go-getter, witty, a breath of fresh air.
In each of the game's she appears in she is widely acknowledged as a tomboy or "less feminine" than her royal pal, [[Princess Peach]]. As such, Daisy is not "dainty" or "fragile" compared to what one might think from her appearance. She also has a huge competitive drive, though it's apparent she knows it's all in good fun. Daisy can tend to speak in a more common contemporary vernacular than other characters; the prime example of this being her ways of speaking in a slang tone of voice.
In ''Mario Tennis'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], she was depicted as being a bit clumsy. This was shown in her tournament victory cut-scene where she starts thanking everyone, and suddenly trips off the stage with her trophy. Additionally, in ''Mario Party 3'', Daisy revealed her seductive side by showing off her good looks, and flirting with the [[Millennium Star]] to get a free badge. Simply by doing a twirl the Millennium Star basically fell in love with her, and was willing to give the beauty badge to her right away.
Daisy has been said to be cute and something of an idol in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. In ''Mario Party DS'' Daisy is described as someone with spunk and sass. ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' shows her tomboy attitude to a new high, as her competitive drive is pushed much further compared to normal. It has even been said by Deanna Mustard, her voiceover, that the ''Mario Football'' series is where her personality shows best. In ''Mario Kart Wii'', Daisy is said to leave any friendships she has at the starting line; this is obvious as in the middle of racing Daisy tends to mock other players. Daisy can be summarized as an energetic, friendly, and fun loving girl who can, so to speak, "hang with the guys."
==Powers and Abilities==
Often dealing with flower powers, Daisy's [[abilities]] are based on her large relations to flowers. Throughout her many appearances, most of her special abilities have used some sort of flower related effect. While Daisy is thin, she is known to be one of the few lighter Mario characters with a large amount of physical strength. Unlike most characters, Daisy's style of play changes depending on what activity she's participating in. Having been qualified in a larger amount of categories than any other character, Daisy's range of abilities can be summarized as all-around, with a certain change in each game that determines the ultimate style.
===Special Abilities===
[[Image:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|250px||left|Daisy's "Flower Swing" in use. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Daisy had the longest hit ratio for any human player, being out ranked only by powerhouses [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. In ''Mario Party 7'', Daisy was able to show off her love for flowers, as her special team orb was the [[Flower Orb]]. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Daisy was a technical player who had two special moves. The first was called [[Wonder Flower]], which is an offensive power shot where Daisy summons huge petals around her racket. The other is called [[Flowerbed Return]], which is a defensive power shot where Daisy literally flies above the ground where a bed of daisies appear under her until she reaches the ball. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'', Daisy is once again a technical player. She used flower powers in her special move, the [[Flower Shot]]. The Flower Shot works by Daisy summoning a barrage of petals around herself which seem to lift her into the air where she then kicks the ball into the hoop.
In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', she was a Balanced player who leaned towards Technique (instead of being a technical player who leaned towards balance). She could easily hit a home run if the timing was right or if the placement was well done. Daisy's special pitch and swing in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' are both known as the [[Flower Ball]]. This technique uses flower petals to hide the ball from any opponents' eyes, giving Daisy an almost guaranteed hit or strike. This is also displayed again in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''; her pitch covers the ball in flower petals, but her bat summons a small daisy garden around where the ball is going to land, shielding off the opposing team from catching the ball.[[Image:Specialability.PNG|thumb|250px|Daisy using her special ability ([[Crystal Smash!]]) from ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]]
In ''[[Mario Smash Football]]'', Daisy was an offensive captain.  Daisy's Super Strike was called the [[Torpedo Strike]]. In this Super Strike, Daisy launches the ball at the goal, and images of daisies fly all about. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'' Daisy showed a new form of powers other than her usual flower abilities. She used the ability of summoning huge orange crystals from the ground.  She is also capable of teleporting; the distance depends on how charged the ball is.  Depending on how charged the ball is, Daisy can teleport a long distance by doing a spin in smoke. After the spin she re-appears a certain amount of length away in any direction.
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Daisy is for the first time, a [[Speed]] character. Her usual above-average strength is not at all present and she happens to be a complete athletic powerhouse. Although she is a Speed character, her rounded technique still qualifies her for a balanced range of event handicaps. In certain game types where it is available, Daisy can use some of her flower powers to do various things such as spike the ping-pong ball, do a rapid combo attack in fencing, and more.
===Standard Abilities===
Daisy has been shown in promotional art using various items from various games. It should be noted that Daisy has had three different pieces of art where she is holding a baseball bat: one from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', another from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', and finally in her ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' piece. She has also been shown using a soccer ball in various promotional art. Other items she has been seen using are a butterfly net, a [[Chain Chomp]] whistle, and a camera. Like other Mario characters, Daisy can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], and even [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].
==Interactions with Other Characters==
===Birdo===
{{main|Birdo}}
Daisy and Birdo have been shown from time to time to interact with each other. In ''[[Mario Tennis (N64)]]'', when choosing Daisy in the double tournament mode, her default partner will be Birdo. Among the team names they have shared, the team name, "Gallopin' Gal-Pals" from the Mario Party series, is the biggest hint at their interactions. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' they even have good chemistry with one-another, a trait only characters that play together well and have a ''buddy relationship'' share.
===Luigi===
{{main|Luigi}}
[[Image:DaisyTrophy.png|thumb|left|250px|Scene of the trophy ceremony for Daisy. (''Mario Power Tennis'')]]
As previously noted, one of Daisy's only appearances between ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Mario Tennis'' was in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. After appearing as an optional automatic partner for Daisy in ''Mario Tennis'', Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions. Such as in ''Mario Golf Toadstool Tour'', where they are seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Some of their team names from the Mario Party series include: "Steady Sweeties", "Tango Tanglers", and "Shy Sidekicks". Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in ''Mario Power Tennis'', wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweety! I'll take that", while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players", and they share good chemistry. Most recently, in ''Mario Kart Wii'', there is a giant statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of [[Baby Luigi]] swinging [[Baby Daisy]]. Arguably the greatest evidence for any existing relationship between Luigi and Daisy is in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film, released in 1993. Luigi and Daisy were quite clearly depicted as being infatuated with one another in this movie.  Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', where Daisy's trophy biography states, ''"After her appearance in ''Mario Golf'', some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach"''.
It was stated in the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Luigi has quite the crush on Daisy, and that it's rumored there's an attraction between them. Luigi and Daisy also appear together commonly in the [[Miracle Book]] pages from ''Mario Party 6''. Most often in a situation where something bad happens to Luigi, but Daisy is left unharmed. Examples of this include the page Amp Attack, where  Luigi and Daisy are playing [[Circuit Maximus]], and are wondering what the three black spheres are. The player can press A to make them turn around, which reveals that the spheres are Amps which then electrocute Luigi. On another page titled It Came from the Deep, Daisy and Luigi are fishing for treasure in [[Treasure Trawlers]]. If the player  presses A, Daisy gets a treasure chest while Luigi catches the tentacle of a Blooper.
===Mario===
{{main|Mario}}
Daisy was rescued by Mario from the clutches of Tatanga in Super Mario Land, and she rewarded him with a kiss upon her rescue. Mario has never explicitly expressed an interest in her, nor has Daisy to him. In Mario Party 5, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they do not share player chemistry at all in Mario Superstar Baseball and in Mario Super Sluggers. Regardless, Daisy and Mario have been officially stated to be good friends.
===Peach===
{{main|Princess Peach}}
[[Image:Daisyreceive.png|thumb|200px|Daisy, Peach, Nina, and [[Kate]] in ''Mario Tennis (N64)''.]]
{{llquote|Right as rain, Peach. Thanks for asking! Now let's go teach that Bowser Jr. a lesson!|[[Princess Daisy]]|[[Mario Super Sluggers]]}}
Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be best friends since Daisy's big comeback  appearance in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64. It has been stated that Peach missed female companionship until Daisy's arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom.<ref>[http://marioparty6.com/launch/]</ref> Soon after in Mario Tennis (GBC), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in future spinoff installments for the Mario series; in most cases, Daisy and Peach will commonly be a team if something involves using a partner approach to take care of a certain task. 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 considered to be best friends, they are often rivaled against each other in games like ''Mario Smash Football'' (where the two face-off in the game's opening) and ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' (where the two go up against each other in Challenge Mode). Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the Mario Baseball series. Daisy also appears as the second member of Peach's team in Challenge mode for ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' as the team's secondary captain.  Nintendo's ''Mario Power Tennis'' website said that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship as Daisy and Peach are not literally sisters. In the ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'' official guides published by Prima and licensed by Nintendo, Daisy is said to be Peach's cousin. This statement is yet to be used in any games, however.
Additionally, in ''Mario Super Sluggers''' Challenge Mode, the game's storyline shows proof of Peach & Daisy being best friends. This can be seen once Peach joins the overall game roster (after completing the certain task to trigger said result). Once this is done, the first case she brings up is about Daisy's welfare. Once Peach is informed of Daisy being turned into a statue by Bowser Jr. (which by this time, the curse breaks and Daisy returns to her normal self), she calls on Mario and the other teammates to help her find Daisy. Upon finding Daisy to rescue her entirely, the situation gets worse in terms of the [[Peach Ice Garden]] flooding again. Daisy suggests to Peach and her friends to find a respectable weight alternative and bring it back to where she was standing (so that the locale wouldn't flood any further). When Peach meets Daisy for the first time (after Daisy returns to her normal self) a small set of dialogue follows. Once all of the tasks that involve Daisy are complete, Daisy is finally able to join Peach's team afterwards (the [[Peach Monarchs]]) vowing to help obliterate Bowser's gang who invaded the Baseball Kingdom and turned her into a statue.
In the Super Mario manga series, when Daisy is introduced to Peach, Peach mistakes a wink from Daisy to Mario as a way of showing affection. Peach confronts Daisy, and they get into an argument which is what sparks the start of their rivalry in the manga; this ultimately leads to their lasting friendship.
===Tatanga===
{{main|Tatanga}}
Tatanga was the main antagonist of ''Super Mario Land'', where he was hired by [[Wario]] to brain-wash all of Sarasaland to distract [[Mario]] (so Wario could take over [[Mario's Castle]]). Tatanga attempted to bewed Daisy in the middle of the take over, and Daisy objected the proposal. In the American and Japanese comics, Daisy's relationship with Tatanga was equal to the relationship between Peach and Bowser, not mutual. Although Tatanga has yet to be seen in any game since, the alien has still been mentioned in later texts involving Daisy.
===Toads===
''Main articles'': [[Toad (Species)]], [[Toadsworth]], and [[Toadette]]
Unlocking Daisy in Challenge Mode of ''Mario Super Sluggers'' is a long process which shows large interactions between [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and [[Toadsworth]]. The Red Toad found in the gardens area of the [[Peach Ice Garden]] is the first to explain to the player that the statue of Daisy is actually Daisy herself who has been turned to stone, "Bowser Jr. turned Princess Daisy into a statue!". Once the player leaves to investigate he says he will stay to protect her. When the player returns later, the same Toad is defending Daisy from a [[Boomerang Bro.]] who is trying to trash the statue to make room for the arrival of more enemies. The Red Toad tells the Boomerang Bro. to not dare lay a finger on Princess Daisy, showing he has large compassion for her. Once the player defeats the Boomerang Bro., the Toad assumes they will be staying to protect her, but is informed the player wants to move the statue to another location. The Toad responds by saying, "NO WAY, DUDE! NUH-UH! What if you drop it and she breaks into a kajillion pieces? HUH?". Once reassured, he tells the player they can remove the statue as long as they promise not to drop her. Later on when the player rescues Peach from Bowser Jr., Toadette struggles to inform Peach of the bad news about Daisy, but Toadsworth tells Toadette to pull herself together and then blatantly informs Peach of the situation.
Aside form the above events, Daisy is often seen next to Toad in Mario Baseball series cut-scenes, and Toadette and Daisy share positive team names from the ''Mario Party'' series.
===Waluigi===
{{main|Waluigi}}
[[Image:DaWaMP4.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Daisy (in the background) and Waluigi in the ''Mario Party 4'' opening.]]
[[Waluigi]] and Daisy started appearing as regulars in the Mario series around the same time, and due to this they are often placed around one-another. In games like ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', the two share bad chemistry, and in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', Daisy goes up against Waluigi in Challenge Mode. They share team names from Mario Party such as: "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars". It was stated in the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Waluigi happens to have a crush on Daisy, which could cause trouble at the party. It was also stated in the same guide that Waluigi suffers the same shortcomings as Wario, aside from his soft spot for Daisy.
===Other Characters===
[[Image:Mss hrc dc entrance.png|thumb|200px|Daisy escorting Bowser and Bowser Jr. into the Daisy Cruiser. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
Characters like [[Toadette]], [[Yoshi]], Toad and others playable throughout the Mario series all seem to, at one point or another, suggest they have some sort of connection with Daisy in the Mario series. Team names from Mario Party such as: Shopping Buddies, Tomboy Trouble, and more, suggest a positive combination.
For example, in one of the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' cutscenes, she was seen eating with Yoshi at the Daisy Cruiser before the fireworks show started. Also, prior to that, Daisy invited everyone in the Baseball Kingdom to the final festivities on the Daisy Cruiser. Inside everyone ate treats like cake and ice-cream, even Bowser and his son, who Daisy personally escorted inside regardless of the fact that Bowser Jr. had earlier turned her into a statue.
==Development==
[[Image:MTArt.PNG|110px|thumb|Daisy in the locker rooms. ''Mario Tennis (N64)'']]
===Early Design===
When Daisy first appeared in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, a pale skin tone, and a rose colored crown. Daisy had a white belt at her waist, and the border was white, had almost a Hershey-Kiss shape with a small white dot over top of each point. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, blue flower earrings, and even blue flower jewels on her crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since; a green color was added instead of the original blue. In ''Mario Tennis'' for the ''Nintendo 64'', her appearance was refined; giving her a rounder face, a tanned skin tone, and a more brunette hair coloring. It should be noted however, that while any artwork depicts Daisy with tanned skin, in-game she has a regular, un-tanned, skin tone. In her next video game appearance, the new motif had remained; although she was no longer wearing sports clothes, and she now had her original rose crown.
===Cultural Relevance===
Those two games were actually the only appearances Daisy had tanned skin in. This change and the next one may have had something to do with the fads of Japanese culture. As it was in the late nineties that a fad in Japan referred to as [[wikipedia:Ganguro|ganguro]] was a popular trend. With her introduction to ''Mario Party 4'', Daisy's character design was altered yet again; she was given shorter (yet still long) hair, a new yellow and orange dress design, a golden crown, and her original skin tone. This change may have something to do with the fad of [[wikipedia:Cuteness in Japanese culture|kawaii]], which has to do with cute like characters in media. Considering Daisy's doll-like appearance, this may be why the change from her tanned skin ganguro style switched to the kawaii style of the twenty-first century. Over time, Daisy's ''Mario Party 4'' appearance has slightly changed, but not as much as the first drastic update. Although this is so, her refined appearance now remains constant.
===Sports Attire===
[[Image:Daisytour.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Daisy watching a tennis match. (''Mario Tennis'')]]
In Daisy's appearances for ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' she appeared in her first sports attire. Unlike in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', this outfit was short, included tennis shoes, no gloves, and no crown. This sports outfit appeared as an unlockable costume in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''; unlike the original, it had more of her modern motif. Aside from her original sports outfit and the refined version, Daisy's common sports attire is like her current dress except it has no sleeves, no gloves, tennis shoes, and spots shorts. If Daisy isn't wearing her princess dress, she'll usually be seen in this outfit for most Mario series' sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, and DS. While riding the bikes in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', she will wear a biker outfit, a trait shared with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Rosalina]].
===Character Relevance===
Something about Daisy's development is the relevance it shares to Peach's. Although the style of her crown has, like mentioned, changed slightly over time, these changes are always in some contrast to Peach's crown. When Daisy first appeared her crown was a rose like color, while Peach's was yellow, Daisy happened to wear a yellow dress, and Peach a pink, or rose, dress. Another fact was that Daisy's main floral jewel on her crown used to be yellow, while Peach's was red. This may also be another switch of the rose and yellow coloring; it should also be mentioned the smaller jewels on Daisy and Peach's crowns were at a time both blue while the main jewels had the opposite colors as mentioned. Nowadays Peach has a darkened gold crown while Daisy has a lightened gold crown, and although the jewelery on the crown isn't in contrast to anything, the fact Daisy has a brunette hair coloring and Peach has a blond hair coloring reveals that the crowns are more of a brunette and blond shaded gold.
Meaning, Daisy has a blond crown and brunette hair while Peach has blond hair and a brunette crown. These types of contrasting colors appear throughout Daisy and Peach's sports attire as well; for example: Daisy has a white collar and Peach has a dark rose collar, Daisy has a secondary coloring on her shorts while Peach doesn't, and Peach has a secondary coloring on her shirt while Daisy doesn't. Basically, this explains that Daisy and Peach are made to completely contrast, or be the opposite, of one another in everything except their similar body composition.
===Graphical Mis-Haps===
Whether they be mistakes or flaws-by-design, Daisy has had a number of graphical mishaps when it comes to her in-game character models. The most common mistake being the number of flips at the back of Daisy's hair changing anywhere from four to nine; most often there are eight. The second most reoccurring mistake would be the princess' crowns having the jewel detailing on both the outside and inside of them.
*The title screen of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' depicts Daisy's dress as blue and Peach's dress as green, instead of their yellow and pink dresses respectively; this may be due to the color limitations of the era. 
*Daisy's trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has a third eye pattern on the back of her head that players can view by zooming in through the back of her hair until it is no longer visible; this was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2 of the game. Also in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', her trophy is depicted with maroon shoes, and Peach's costume recolor is depicted with teal shoes. Daisy's shoes are, and have always been orange, therefore both colors are incorrect.
*In beta screenshots of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Daisy appeared to have a bit of a pudgy stomach, but this extra layering was added to hide errors with her model's design; in the final release of the game, [[Camelot]], the creators of the game, fixed this.
*In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', Daisy's floral collar seems to be incomplete, as the collar has frill detailing, but isn't trimmed properly.
*As seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Daisy's hair is free flowing while racing, but when she is moved in certain directions at high enough speeds, her hair tends to separate itself from the rest of her head.
*In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' there is a mis-colored line running through the back of Daisy's hair flip; this is likely due to the skin design not completely fitting Daisy's character model's mesh. These lines can be found on other characters as well.
*In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' for the Wii, while playing as Daisy in the [[Dream Platform]] if the player moves Daisy forward at the highest speed, there is an opening behind her head where it is completely clear as if there are no polygons between that area of Daisy's model.

==Appearances in Other Media==
[[Image:Daisytatanga.jpg|thumb|Daisy and Tatanga as they appeared in the comic books.]]
===Comics===
Daisy also appeared in the [[Nintendo Comics System|Game Boy comic books]], where, as in ''Super Mario Land'', she was the unwilling prisoner of Tatanga, hoping that Mario would eventually rescue her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga, were released from the world of video games to go on adventures in the "[[Real World]]".
===Manga===
Daisy appears as a prominent character in the [[Super Mario Kun]] [[wikipedia:Manga|manga]], available only in [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. First appearing in the Sarasaland chapters, Daisy's original role is equal to that as it was in the American comics. She is the captive princess of Tatanga, who plans to have her hand in marriage. Afterwards, Daisy's role switches to that of a heroine, alongside close friends Mario, Luigi, and Peach; most commonly as a rivalry for Peach. Although Daisy has not received her own series of manga such as Wario and Yoshi have, she is used as a more consistently reoccurring main character.
===Music===
Many of the songs from the [[Super Mario Compact Disco]] revolve around lyrics dealing with or relating to Daisy. The song ''Save Me (With Your Charm)'' actually states in the beginning that it is Daisy singing,<blockquote>Yo, this is Princess Daisy| You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco| Kick it</blockquote>Daisy was also mentioned in the songs ''Super Mario Land'', ''Radio Compact Disco 4'', ''Super Mario USA'', and ''Six Golden Coins''; most of these mentions related to a love interest between Mario and Daisy, Daisy being captive, or Daisy being rescued. The song lyrics make several errors in relation to the games, however.
Aside from the Super Mario Compact Disco, Daisy had her own song on the Super Mario Land [single]. On the Japanese release, the song was titled ''Daisy's Mix'', but on the United Kingdom release it was titled ''Daisy's Breakdown''. On the [[Super Mario Land Original Soundtrack|Super Mario Land OST]] released only in Japan, Daisy had her own song titled ''Oh! Daisy (Princess Daisy Theme)''.  On the Mario Tennis 64 OST, Daisy had her own trophy theme called ''Trophy Win - Daisy''. Any other soundtracks featuring level music, such as ''[[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'', contain the theme music of Daisy levels pertaining to the specific game.
===Film===
In the [[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], Daisy is a main character and the princess of [[Dinohatten]]. The first scene of the movie depicts Daisy’s mother, who was fleeing from [[Bowser|King Koopa]], putting a green egg with a small crystal tied to it on the steps of a cathedral. Her mother is later killed in a rock slide, and the green egg hatches into Daisy as a baby.
[[Image:MATHIS.jpg|thumb|left|Princess Daisy, as depicted in the film.]]
The nuns had either taken a vow of silence, or decided to keep it secret, because Daisy grows up thinking she is a normal human being. However, she always has an odd love of fossils and dinosaurs, so much that she becomes a paleontologist. One of her digging sites is being hounded by [[Anthony Scapelli]], a wealthy entrepreneur, because the dig is making him lose business. One day, she meets [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and she and Luigi really hit it off.
Later in the film, King Koopa sends out his cousins [[Spike (character)|Spike]] and [[Iggy (Super Mario Bros.)|Iggy]] to capture Daisy. Luckily, the cousins continually kidnap the wrong girls, including Mario's girlfriend [[Daniella]]. Finally, when Mario and Luigi are helping her repair damage (done by Scapelli) to the fossil site, Iggy and Spike knock Mario and Luigi out and kidnap Daisy. They take her to Dinohattan and Mario and Luigi quickly follow. Luckily, Luigi is able to recover Daisy’s crystal necklace before she is abducted in a car, which takes the young woman straight to King Koopa’s Tower.
When Daisy arrives, King Koopa reveals to her that she is the princess of the dinosaur world. King Koopa states that the meteor that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs actually sent the reptiles to an alternate dimension, where they eventually evolved into humanoids (just as had happened on [[Earth]], albeit Earthlings evolved from primates). Her mother and father, King Bowser, were the king of this dimension, until King Koopa turned her father into a fungus. Her mother fled to the dinosaur's original dimension, using a crystal recovered from the meteor that caused the dimensional rift, and, as previously mentioned, entrusted her daughter’s life to a group of nuns.
After revealing this to Daisy, King Koopa states that he has long harbored an ambition to take over the real world (his former home), but cannot send his entire army there without the crystal. As such, he sent Iggy and Spike to find her and with her, the meteorite piece. However, Daisy does not have the crystal, Luigi does. When this is revealed to King Koopa, he locks Daisy up in his tower.
While imprisoned, Daisy forms a friendship with King Koopa's pet, [[Yoshi]]. King Koopa’s mistress, [[Lena]], grows to hate Daisy, suspecting that King Koopa has a crush on her. Eventually, this hatred drives her insane, and Lena attempted to kill Daisy. Yoshi saves the princess at the last minute, and they both escape from the tower together. She is then kidnapped by a Goomba (who, in fact, used to an anti-King Koopa street musician named [[Toad]]). Ironically, it is Iggy and Spike, who had recently had there brains enlarged, that save Daisy from her new prison. She then meets up again with Mario and Luigi. Mario goes to save the "princesses" that Spike and Iggy kidnapped while searching for Daisy, while Luigi and Daisy go to stop the invasion.
Finally, Daisy seals the breach between the dimensions and decides to stay in Dinohattan an take her rightful place as ruler. The end of the movie shows Daisy, geared for war, appears at Mario's apartment, telling them that they have to come back to Dinohattan, because a new threat had emerged. This was an attempt at setting up a sequel, which never came.
The novelization of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' live-action movie, which is set outside the game universe, states that Daisy's father is named, King Bowser; this is likely a mistake as King Bowser isn't even depicted as her father in the movie.
==Portrayals==
Daisy is voiced/portrayed by:
*[[Samantha Mathis]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie.
*[[Kate Fleming]] in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64; never continued her role.
*[[Jen Taylor]] in ''Mario Party 3''; a fill-in until a replacement would be found.
*[[Deanna Mustard]] in any Mario series' installments as of 2004 to the present. Her debut installment in terms of portraying Daisy is the ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' game.
==Trivia==
*The ''Super Mario Land'' instruction manual names Daisy '''"Daisy Princess"''',  even though her official name is "Princess Daisy."  This may be the result of poor translation, as Daisy's Japanese name, Deiji-Hime, literally means "Daisy-Princess."
*Daisy's ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' trophy states that she appeared in ''[[Mario Golf]]'' for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color rather than ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Although Daisy appeared in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' in 1991, the only ''Mario Golf'' game she has appeared in is ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', and that game was released nineteen months after ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
*In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Daisy's MVP section misspelled Sarasaland as "Sarasara Land"; this is likely a translation mistake.
*Daisy's emblem/representation has been an orange daisy with a teal center, instead of the common white shazta daisy with a yellow center.
*Despite not making an appearance, Daisy is indirectly referrenced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. After crossing the finish line in the [[Loopdeswoop Galaxy]], one of the [[Penguin]]s will tell Mario or Luigi that their performance must impress "the princesses."
*Daisy debuted on April 21, 1989 in Japan. The April birthstone is the sapphire (which is found on her earrings, brooch, and crown in earlier games and some handhelds), and its birth flower is the daisy.
*Daisy is the first major Mario character not created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and the only major female character in the ''Mario'' series not created by him.

{{LLQuote|Mario, you're my knight in shining armor!|Princess Toadstool|[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]}}
'''Princess Peach Toadstool''' (Japanese: ピーチ姫, ''Pīchi-Hime'') is the princess of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Peach was created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and is the damsel-in-distress throughout most [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]]. Since her debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Peach has appeared in Mario games for over 20 years. Peach is occasionally a key supporting character of the plot, and sometimes a playable character. Her most notable appearance is as the heroine of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.
She has an affinity for the color pink and has been shown to be a ladylike and kind monarch. Peach resides in [[Princess Peach's Castle|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|Mario's]] love interest and the frequent damsel-in-distress. She also has a special relationship with [[Princess Daisy]], and is a good friend of [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], [[Birdo]] and [[Toadette]].
==History==
===Background===
{{main|Baby Peach}}
''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' was Peach's first chronological appearance. As [[King Toadstool|King Toadstools's]] only child, she was intended to rule the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] when she grew older. As one of the [[Star Children]], she was one of many babies around the [[Mushroom World]] subject to a massive kidnapping. She was, along with [[Baby Mario]], freed by the stork. She ended up helping Baby Mario and Yoshi save the other babies and defeat [[Bowser]].
As revealed in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Peach grew very fond of the Mario Bros. as she grew older despite their small age difference; they were toddlers, while she was still an infant. [[Toadsworth the Younger]] often requested their presence for play dates when the princess threw tantrums.
=== Super Mario Series ===
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
[[Image:PrincessSML.png|thumb|left|115px|Peach's first appearance.]]
''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' marked Peach's debut appearance (game release wise for the entire ''Mario'' series) as a full grown lady. [[Bowser|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 [[King Toadstool|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 on the cheek 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.''
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
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 (species)|Subcon]] to save their [[Subcon (place)|dream land]] from the evil [[Wart]]. Toadstool's main ability was that she could float for a limited time after [[jump|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]]''.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
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''.
====''Super Mario World''====
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 on the cheek.
====''Super Mario 64''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Peach invited Mario to her castle for a cake, but before Mario arrived at the castle grounds, Bowser came and took control over the [[Power Star]]s. He sealed Peach in the fresco over the entrance of the castle. After Mario defeated Bowser in the final battle (titled [[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.
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[Image:SunsetMarioPeach.PNG|thumb|150px|Peach and Mario on vacation, at [[Sirena Beach]].]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario, Peach, and [[Toadsworth]] went to [[Isle Delfino]] on [[Peach's Plane|Peach's private plane]]. However, [[Bowser Jr.]], in the disguise of [[Shadow Mario]], had filled the island with [[Goop|graffiti]]. The crimes  were blamed on Mario, and he was sentenced to clean the entire island with [[F.L.U.D.D.|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 Sprite]]s.
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.
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
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, an evil plan hatched by Bowser or Bowser Jr. sent Lakithunder attacking the castle emitting a large amount of smoke. When Mario went to investigate, Junior snuck behind Peach to kidnap her without warning. Mario chased Bowser Jr., with Peach in tow, throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Eventually, Mario was able to confront both Bowser Jr. and Bowser; after Mario prevailed in the final battle, Peach was finally rescued.
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[image:PeachGalaxy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Peach with a [[Luma (character)|Luma]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.]]
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 [[Airship]]s attacked Toad Town, setting fire to it. From her balcony, Peach watched with a worried look while holding a [[Luma (character)|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.
{{spoiler}}
At times Peach secretly sent mail to Mario giving him a bit of aid by sending five [[1-Up Mushroom]]s with the letters . When the player plays as Luigi, Peach still addresses the letter to Mario, sending 20 1-Ups instead of five. The [[Mailtoad]] tells Luigi not to care about the letter being addressed 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.
{{endspoiler}}
===''The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach''===
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.
=== Super Mario Amada Series===
Peach also appeared in the ''[[Super Mario Amada Series]]''. In the plot of Momotaro, two elderly Hammer Bros.(Obasaan and ojisaan) 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.
=== The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!===
[[Image:peachbowsercartoons.png|thumb|left|150px|Princess Toadstool and King Koopa in the cartoons.]]
In the [[DiC Entertainment]] cartoons ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the ''[[Super Mario World (TV series)|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.
Toadstool was showed in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' 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.
===Comic Appearances===
====Nintendo Comics System====
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. Peach also appeared in other comics. In [[A Mouser in the Houser]] a group of Mousers crown Peach their queen. Peach, Mario, and Toad are washed up on a island in [[Beauty and the Beach]]. Peach also makes minor appearances in [[Bedtime for Drain-Head]], [[Tanooki Suits Me]], and [[Betrayal Most Proper]]. The Koopalings try to kidnap Peach as a present for their father in [[Bowser Knows Best]], though she ends up outsmarting them. In [[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]], Peach and her subjects become dumb after being exposed to Bowser's Stupid Bomb.  In [[The Doctor Is In... Over His Head]], Peach helps out Dr. Mario; in this comic she is dressed in her nurse outfit. Pidgets brainwash Peach in [[Magic Carpet Madness]]. Lastly, Peach is featured in the comic [[The Legend]], an adaption of how her adventures with Mario and Luigi started.
====Club Nintendo magazine====
Peach also regularly appeared in the comic series of the German [[Club Nintendo|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]] [[Nintendo Skyscraper|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.
====Super Mario Adventures====
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 Troopa]]s 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 on the cheek.
====Super Mario Kun====
Peach also appeared in the ''[[Super Mario Kun]]'' manga series.
===Educational series===

[[Image:Princesspeachmkwiiop.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Screenshot of Peach in the opening for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.]]
Peach has always been a playable participant in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', when controlled by the CPU, Peach will sometimes use mushrooms against the other drivers which will shrink them. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Peach is teamed up with [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and their special item is the [[Heart]]. Peach's personal kart in ''Double Dash!!'' is the [[Heart Coach]], which is available by default. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', her karts are the [[Royale]] and the [[Light Tripper]]. In Mission Mode, she has to race against [[King Boo]]. She is advanced at drifting corners and has average item use. Peach was classified Medium in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', but Light in ''Mario Kart DS''.  Peach appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as a Medium-size driver, unlike ''Mario Kart DS''.

===''Yoshi’s Safari''===
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.

===''Super Mario RPG''===
[[Image:SMRPG_Peach.gif|thumb|120px|Toadstool in ''Super Mario RPG''.]]
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 House|Mario's Pad]]. Mario came to her aid, and defeated Bowser after a battle. However, [[Exor]] crashed into [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], and sent the three flying in different directions. Toadstool landed in the [[Booster Tower|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 [[Toadstool's grandmother|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.
===''Mario Party'' Series===
[[Image:MP6_Peach.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Peach holding up a sign used for the "Odd Card Out" mini-game (''Mario Party 6'').]]
Peach is also playable in all games of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', Peach competed against the guys to see who is the superstar. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' story mode, the player has to defeat her for the Love [[Star Stamp]]. On the ''Mario Party 3'' duel boards, she starts with [[Toad]] as her partner.
In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', according to the instruction booklet, her favorite item is the [[Mini Mushroom]]. When she defeated Bowser in Story Mode, he gave her a heart-shaped portrait of himself. Peach joins her friends in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' to end a fight between the Sun and the Moon. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', her default partner is Daisy, and their Character Orb is the [[Flower Orb]]. Peach also appeared in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' participating in the Star Carnival alongside her friends.
Peach is one of the playable characters in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. She must be played in the Love Quest, ''Love That Princess''!, when visiting [[Mr. I]]. She appeared most recently in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', in which she and her friends answer a fake invitation from Bowser and then are unfortunately shrunken to the size of chess pieces.
Depending on who she is teamed up with will determine their team name. Peach has earned team names such as "Fan Favorites", "Pink Punishers", "Black Peaches", "Sweetie Pies", and "Glamor Hammer".
It should also be noted that ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' was the first installment overall for Peach to wear her modern/current main dress, which had substantial changes from her classic dress in Mario series' installments prior to it. Certain features were still kept from Peach's classic dress for her modern/current main outfit including her brooch, gloves, and earrings.
===''Game & Watch Gallery 3''===
Peach appeared in the modern version of the ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' arcade game in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. [[Donkey Kong]] had kidnapped her, and Mario had to rescue her. Peach was also the main character of the modern version of ''Cook'', where she had to flip sausages, bacon, and eggs, without letting them fall.
===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[Image:Mgtt_intro_1.png|left|thumb|250px|Closeup of Peach executing her tee shot in the ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' opening.]]
When the golf installments overall started with ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'', Peach was mainly a supporting participant (by being Mario's caddie). However, as years passed, Peach started to get more involved in the ''Mario Golf'' installments themselves starting with ''[[Mario Golf (N64)|the Nintendo 64 version]]''. Statistics wise, she has one of the lightest hits, best control and hits the ball straight despite lacking distance. Additionally, her spin rivals Mario's. In [[Mario Golf (game)|''Mario Golf'' (N64)]], Peach's partner in the game's opening was [[Plum]]. Peach is also a playable participant in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and she hosts a tournament in her course named [[Peach's Castle Grounds]] where warp pipes, Chain Chomps, and giant mushrooms can be found.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', Peach invites [[Neil]] and [[Ella]] to participate in her Open once they have proven themselves in their world. When Neil or Ella defeat the [[Dunes]] Tourney in singles or doubles, she will send them a letter, inviting them to her tourney. Also present for the tourney are Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser. At the beginning of the match, Peach had to stop Bowser and Mario from fighting and to remind them of their manners in the presence of guests. When Neil or Ella win the tourney, Peach oversees the ceremony as Toadsworth hands out the trophy.
===''Mario Tennis'' series ===
[[Image:Mpt peachreturn.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Peach on the court in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]''.]]
In the [[Mario Tennis|''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 leans 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 (GCN)|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 Piranha'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 [[Max]] and [[Tina]] to her tournament in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GBA)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', after they complete the [[Island Open]]. She has them escorted by Mario and Toadsworth on her private plane.
===''Paper Mario'' Series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[Image:PM_PrincessPeach.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Solo art of Peach for ''Paper Mario''.]]
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 (species)|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.
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[Image:PaperPeach.jpg|90px|right|thumb|Solo art of Peach for ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]
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 [[The Moon|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,[[Image:Shadow queen.PNG|100px|left|thumb|Peach possessed by the Shadow Queen (''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'').]] 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.
====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[Image:SPM Peach.jpg|thumb|120px|Solo art of Peach using her pink parasol for ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
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.

She appears for the first time in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], in which she is one of the starting participants. In this installment, she can float in mid-air and pull [[vegetable]]s out of the ground as in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. 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 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 as compared to general Mario game series' installments.
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Peach returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', heavily redesigned, based on her more recent appearances. She keeps her moveset 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 since her previous appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. There are several changes about her in Brawl. Her Peach Bomber can cover more distance and it releases a cloud of hearts. Also her Parasol and Toad can KO now. Peach's [[Final Smash]] is called [[Peach Blossom]], and matches Peach's peaceful personality. It, by default inflicts 40% damage to all foes and causes them to fall asleep. Peach has several trophies in her honor. One is of her Brawl appearance and Final Smash. Also she has two of her Paper Mario appearances and her as Baby Peach. Her stickers are based off of game artworks for ''Super Princess Peach'', ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', 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 swinging her dress side to side, 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 your ideal "knight in shining armor." A little on the short side, I'd 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 [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Story|Subspace Emissary]]====
[[Image:Subspace_zelda_peach.PNG|thumb|left|Peach's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary, alongside [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]].]]In ''The Subspace Emissary'', Peach was watching [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] fighting together with [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], and ran down to assist them after the arrival of the [[Primid]]s. 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.
[[Image:Peach_Trophy_Wario.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Peach after being turned into a trophy by [[Wario]].]]
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. Unfortunately, later on in the story, Peach get caught off guard, resulting in Bowser turning Peach into a trophy with his [[Dark Cannon]] (leaving behind a [[False Peach|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 (SSB)|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.
====Special Moves====
=====Toad=====
[[Image:BrawlToad.jpg|thumb|left|'''Toad''']]
Toad is Peach's standard special move in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Peach will bring out [[Toad]] to shield her. Toad will absorb any attack and send it back to the opponent. According to one of Peach's [[Trophy|trophies]], he does this by sending spores back at the opponent. In ''Brawl'', Toad is capable of a knocking an opponent out of the arena. 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.
<br clear=all>
=====Peach Bomber=====
[[Image:BrawlPeachBomber.jpg|thumb|left|The move in Brawl.]]
[[Image:Peach bomber.jpg|thumb|The move from Melee.]]
The Peach Bomber is Peach's side special move in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. When executed, Peach will leap forward, twirl and ram an enemy with her rear. Upon contact with another player, it will cause an explosion. In ''Melee'', it is a fire explosion, while in ''Brawl'', hearts appear. The attack is Peach's strongest move but, despite being powerful, takes a while to use, which can leave her open for enemy attack. It is very effective when she is battling multiple opponents.
<br clear=all>
=====Peach Parasol=====
[[Image:Parasol peach.jpg|thumb|left|'''Peach Parasol''']]
[[Image:BrawlPeachParasol.jpg|thumb|Peach holding her Parasol in ''Brawl''.]]
Peach Parasol is Peach's up special move in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. It serves as a recovery move as well as doing little damage. She smashes up with a white [[Parasol]] and damages any players who it hits. This attack is very similar to [[Mario|Mario's]] [[Mario#Super Jump Punch|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. 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. In ''Brawl'', her parasol is based heavily on it in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
If Peach uses the Peach Parasol while holding the [[Parasol]] item, she will replace her usual Parasol with that Parasol.
=====Vegetable=====
[[Image:PeachVeggie2.jpg|thumb|left|Peach, with the rare Vegetable.]]
[[Image:BrawlVegetable.jpg|thumb|'''Vegetable''']]
[[Vegetable]]s are items that can be used by Peach in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. She can pluck them from the ground with her down special move. Peach can throw these vegetables at other players, and they will bounce off of opponents, which allows Peach to grab them 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 their facial expression. Sometimes, Peach will pull a [[Mr. Saturn]], a [[Beam Sword]] or a [[Bob-omb]] out of the ground. Occasionally, a vegetable with the face depicted on the left will appear. These only appear at a 1/58 chance, but have more than 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.
=====Peach Blossom=====
[[Image:Peach_Blossom.jpg|thumb|'''Peach Blossom''']]
{{LLquote|Somehow, Princess Peach always seems to go at her own pace. Her Final Smash will lure you into her world.... The flowers bloom. The peaches pour down. Yes. It’s so elegant.|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}}
'''Peach Blossom''' is Peach's Final Smash from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.  Akin to the princess's unique blend of offensive and defensive maneuvers in battle, this tactic allows her to gain an edge over her opponents either by attacking them or restoring her own health.  Peach can only perform this attack after breaking open a [[Smash Ball]].
Peach Blossom made its first and only appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.  Visually, the attack is reminiscent of the sugar-sweet art style of Peach's first solo adventure, ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', which was published after ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and before ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.  While most of the characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' have Final Smashes based on previous moves or experiences, Peach Blossom is an entirely original creation.
[[Image:Peach_Blossom_Peach.jpg|thumb|left|[[Princess Peach]] eats a [[Peach (item)|peach]] as [[Wario]] sleeps.]]
Decorative [[Heart|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 sped up version of the [[Coin Heaven]] theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', all of her opponents fall into a deep [[Sleep]] and take damage.  The closer to Peach an enemy is, the longer he or she will sleep and the more damage he or she will take. Typical damage ranges from thirty to fifty percent.  Next, [[Peach (item)|Peaches]] fall from the top of the stage. At this point the attack technically ends.
However, as the princess's enemies remain unconscious for a time after the attack, she is free to do as she likes for a short time.  Peach can restore her health by eating the Peaches and use her other attacks on her sleeping opponents.  Because of the extra damage she has already inflicted, well-charged [[Smash Attack]]s may send opponents flying off of the screen. Once Peach attacks an enemy, he or she will immediately awaken and have a chance to recover.  It is possible that her enemies will eat her peaches if they return to the stage.
=== Mario & Luigi Series ===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
[[Image:marioluigi3.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Solo picture of Peach for ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.]]
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 Goomba]]s 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.
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[Image:MLPTPeach.jpg|thumb|200px|Solo picture of Peach for ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.]]
:''See also: [[Baby Peach]].
''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' starts with a flashback to the past. At the time the story starts, [[Toadsworth the Younger]] always took care of the [[Baby Peach|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 [[Shroob]]s 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 Shard]]s 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.
===''Mario 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.
===Mario Baseball series===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
Peach is one of few technique captains in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. She has one of the best pitching and catching skills. She can also make home-runs at times even though she is not as strong as other captains. Her special pitch is the [[Heart Ball]]. In Challenge Mode, Peach learns it by purchasing the [[Lovely Heart]] item. She is the captain of [[Peach Monarchs|her team]], the Peach Monarchs (consisting of several Toads, Toadsworth, [[Toadette]] and Princess Daisy as sub-captain). In Exhibition mode, alternate names for Peach's team include the ''Peach Roses'', ''Peach Dynasties'' or ''Peach Princesses''. 
For the Challenge Mode section of ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Peach is one of the playable captains that the player can choose when she answers a challenge from Bowser to compete against his team. In order to advance, Peach has to go against the other captains working toward the same goal. Upon meeting certain criteria during matches, they will join her team and she can also recruit others as well. At times she has to answer a challenge from Bowser Jr.
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[Image:Peach-mss-intro-2.png|250px|right|thumb|Peach about to pass the ball to Mario in the opening for ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]
Peach makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as one of the Team Captains. Although Peach presides over the [[Baseball Kingdom]], she's part of the baseball game action itself as well (as seen in [[Mario_Super_Sluggers#The_Game.27s_Opening|the game's overall opening]]). Her home stadium is the [[Peach Ice Garden]], which has the appearance of an ice palace; it can be played in both daytime and nighttime setting. Outside the rink is a rose and flower garden. Peach is once again good at pitching and fielding.
As the story unfolds for ''Mario Super Sluggers''' Challenge Mode, Bowser and Bowser Jr. invade the Baseball Kingdom, threatening to take it over. During the course of gameplay for this mode, Peach is one of the five captains the player can adventure around with. However, she first has to be rescued from Bowser Jr. in the [[Peach Ice Garden]]. Upon being added to the Challenge Mode roster after completing said case involving Peach, she has a unique talent to aid in exploration around stadiums using her well-known heart trademark, resembling her overall personality. Also at that point, she is able to assist in finding other required Team Players to make up her team, the [[Peach Monarchs]].
The icon for the '''Peach Monarchs''' team includes a sparkling heart with Peach's sapphire brooch in the middle, and has a crown on top.
===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[Image:Super Princess Peach02.jpg|left|thumb|110px|Gameplay of ''Super Princess Peach''.]]
''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' marked a change of roles in the ''Mario'' series &ndash; it was Princess Peach's turn to save Mario and Luigi from King Bowser. With the aid of a talking umbrella named [[Perry]] &ndash; who was amnesiac and therefore possessed a mysterious past &ndash; 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)|''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.
===''Mario Football'' series===
[[Image:FreezeFrame.PNG|thumb|200px|right|Peach performing her ''Freeze Frame!'' ability in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]]
Peach is a Playmaker captain in the ''Mario Football'' games. She is fast, agile, and is best at passing. In ''[[Mario Smash Football]]'', her [[Super Strike]] is the [[Royal Strike]], and in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', her [[Super Ability]] is [[Freeze Frame!]].
When Peach does her Super Ability in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', cameras flock in and start to take pictures of her and traps any opponents in picture frames. Cameras were also seen taking pictures of Peach during her ground entrance and on certain occasions when she's celebrating after scoring a goal for her team. When Peach executes her [[Mega Strike]], she turns into an angelic creature with wings, prior to knocking the ball down towards the goalie. Her number is 10 and her uniform colors are pink and blue. Peach's mission level is to defeat Daisy for the Star Cup. She is also the opponent of Bowser in his mission mode. Her theme song is a techno inspired tune.
===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', Peach is a technical character. She excels in shooting the ball at a distance. Her special shot is the [[Heart Shot]]. To execute it, Peach starts by dribbling out the shape of a triangle. As she spins and flips a sea of hearts appear. The hearts lift Peach and the ball into the air. After one spin she blows a kiss and the ball, followed by the hearts fly into the net. The hearts then form a large heart from a bunch of small ones around the hoop. Peach's home turf is the [[Peach Field]].
===Mario & Sonic Series===
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
[[Image:Peach_msog_results.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Peach celebrating her after-event results. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'')]]
Peach also appears ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the first crossover sports installment featuring characters from both the ''Mario'' and ''Sonic'' universes competing in Olympic events. In this installment, Peach is classified as a skill character sporting excellent ratings in events such as the track, archery, skeet, and aquatics. She has the highest level of skill of all female characters but the lowest power. Peach is also one of the fastest characters. Peach uses her heart abilities again in Dream Fencing and Dream Table Tennis. In Dream Fencing Peach charges up and releases a huge pink heart. When the heart hits her opponent it explodes into smaller hearts. It has a very long range and Peach does not have to be close to her opponents. In Dream Table Tennis, Peach can make the ball disappear making it difficult to find. When she unleashes her shot, she spins around in a sea of hearts and then hits the ball.
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====

==Character Description==
[[Image:PeachMP8Official.png|200px|thumb|right|Solo version art of Peach from the ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' group picture.]]
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 [[wikipedia:Pannier (clothing)|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. Peach's head is heart-shaped and her thin eyebrows are dark blond. Her eyes consist of numerous, thin lashes. In addition, Peach's hair falls down her back and has several small flips. Peach is taller than most characters but not all.
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 close to her belt. Peach’s looks has not changed as drastically as other females like [[Daisy]] and [[Pauline]]. It should be metnioned that Peach
shares very similar character features with [[Rosalina]].
===Hair===
Peach has always been depicted as a blond in video games. In official artwork by Nintendo, her hair has been blond since the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|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 with ''[[Super Mario World]]'', in which was she shown with her proper hair color. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', her 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 installments.
===Alternate Outfits===
[[Image:MaSatOG - Peach.jpg|100px|thumb|left|Peach wearing her main "active sports outfit".]]
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 minidress to mainly keep the theme of her current main dress. Later on, in the case of "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 increased action of those said sports.
It should also be noted that Peach's "active sports outfit" was first seen overall in her cameo appearance for the Gamecube version of ''NBA Street V3''; the overall design of it is slightly identical to the current "main sports outfit" worn by [[Princess_Daisy#Basic_Sports|Princess Daisy]], but with some differences in features to keep the theme of Peach's current main dress including her brooch, collar, and overall color scheme (for her shirt, shorts and shoes). For most "active sports" installments in which Peach is a playable participant, she can be seen wearning this outfit; however, in ''Mario Smash Football'' and ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', Peach wears soccer outfits targeted for those games.
====Soccer Outfit====
[[Image:Peach SoccerOutfit.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Peach's soccer outfit for ''Mario Smash Football''.]]
As stated earlier, Peach wears a 2-piece soccer outfit in ''Mario Smash Football''. The outfit consists of a pink midriff-baring crop top and pink shorts, both with blue accents, as well as pink and blue cleats. Later on in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', Peach wears pink midriff-baring battle armor along with pink shorts and pink and blue cleats; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Aside from the increased amount of protective equipment, the outfit includes crown patterns along with blue and yellow accents. Peach is one of the few characters who doesn't have to change uniform colors when away.
====Biker Outfit====
[[Image:PeachKartWii.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Peach wearing her biker outfit as she drives her '''Mach Bike'''. She wears this outfit if any motorbike is chosen. (''Mario Kart Wii'')]]
Even though she wears her gown in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', she also wears a pink jumpsuit with gloves and boots when riding motorbikes. The suit is white with pink vertical 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. [[Daisy]] and [[Rosalina]] also have a similar outfit design like Peach's, but with different color schemes as a result to match their respective themes and uniqueness.
====Winter Outfit====
[[Image:MSWGPeach.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Peach figure skating in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''. The outfit she wears is exclusive for the entire game.]]
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Peach wears a pink winter outfit that is exclusive to the game and matches the theme for the Winter Olympics. The outfit's contents include white winter gloves and boots with pink lace. The outfit itself includes long purple sleeves and pants with a white line accenting each limb. Additionally, the core of the outfit is designed like a mini-dress with one white ring at the bottom. Peach's winter outfit still includes her standard jewelry including crown.
Other female participants in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' wear winter clothing for this installment as well. [[Princess_Daisy#Winter_Wear|Princess Daisy]] wears an outfit in the same fashion as Peach. The overall design of Daisy's outfit is similar to Peach's; however, differences include color scheme and the obligatory elements to match her unique persona.
====Other Outfits====
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the outfit design that Peach wears bears resemblance to Peach's current main dress. However, the color scheme difference for Peach's dress in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' game is a lighter pink, and to match the setting, it does not include gloves or sleeves.
For ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', her outfits are based off her classic and current dress combined in a much more detailed manner.
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 other western countries. 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 and Traits==
[[Image:PeachNormalSPP.png|200px|thumb|right|Peach as she appears in ''Super Princess Peach''.]]
Princess Peach is classy, kind, clever, and adventurous. She often displays an unselfish and noble spirit and puts her friends ahead of herself. For example in Super Paper Mario, Peach states she was taught to help others. Peach is also into sports and has been referred to in the Mario Party 5 official guide as being able to "play with the big boys."
Throughout the games many aspects of Peach's personality is showed. 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. Peach seems to enjoy exploring and trying new things. Peach is also sweet and hospitable to others. An example of this is when she often bakes cakes 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 one able to recruit [[Mr. Game and Watch]], who didn’t have a concept of right and wrong. And when [[Master Hand]] is defeated by [[Tabuu]], she is the first to reach him attempting to check on him. Peach often expressed loneliness without Mario and she also apologizes excessively for getting into trouble. Peach enjoys the company of others, as she had constructed [[Baseball Kingdom]] for all her friends. She generally has the personality of a polite lady though she can be competitive and playful. She still shows good sportsmanship in many appearances. 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.
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. She was a motherly figure to the young Yoshi and [[Oogtar]].  She also has a feisty side especially in her comic appearances.
==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. Like other Mario characters, Peach can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], and even [[ground pound]]. 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.
In spinoff installments for the Mario game series, Peach's abilities usually deal around hearts. They're mostly seen in the sports installments including, but not limited to ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'' ([[Sweet Kiss Return]]) and ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' ([[Heart Shot]]).
===Skills===
[[Image:PeachroyalStrike.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Peach's Super Strike, the "Royal Strike" (''Mario Smash Football'').]]
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 rear 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 Football]]'', 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 (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]''. [[Super Peach Spin]] is Peach's [[Offensive Power Shot]]. Peach closes her eyes, spins very fast, and hits the ball with the power of love. This will knock the opponent back a few inches then attract the opponent to the net, leaving them open to Lob Shot and lose any [[Power Shot]]s he or she was storing. It has an amazing curve, in fact the best curve in the game. The recovery time is very slow though. [[Sweet Kiss Return]] is Peach's Defensive Power Shot. Peach blows a sweet kiss at the ball, and hearts will appear and carry the ball back to Peach so she can hit it. After it is used the ball is lob shotted across the net with a bit of speed. When she performs a Super Strike in ''[[Mario Smash Football]]'', 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 any male character who tries to catch the ball. Female characters are immune to the charm. For her Heart Ball, Peach winks and blows a kiss. She then dances while charging up and then pitches the ball fast.
==Interactions with Other Characters==
===Mario===
{{main|Mario}}
[[Image:MarioPeachLove.PNG|thumb|200px|Artwork showing Mario and Peach playing [[Game Boy Advance]] (''Mario Party Advance'').]]
{{llquote|Oh Mario! You came to the party to see me! You're so sweet! Thank you!|[[Princess Peach]]|[[Paper 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 (GCN)|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.  Mario and Peach are the Secret Staff  Ghosts for [[Rainbow Road]] in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The official guide describe them at this: ''Aw, isn’t that cute? Mario and Peach are together again, zipping down the Rainbow Road and leaving you coughing up their dust.''
In the comic "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]", published in the German [[Club Nintendo|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'. Also the two are seen holding hands toward the ending. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', while racing with the Wii Wheels Peach and Mario playfully bump each other.
===Luigi===
{{main|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. Luigi was rescued by Peach in ''Super Princess Peach'' and is seen together in the ending for Mario Party 3 having a conversation. 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 [[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===
{{main|Bowser}}
[[Image: Wedding.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Bowser and Peach's "wedding" in the prolouge to ''Super Paper Mario''.]]
{{llquote|I think you are the most evil, despicable reptilian individual I've ever known!|[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]|"[[The Great Gladiator Gig]]"}}
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===
{{main|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 (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', as seen in her victory scene. Wario and Peach were rivaled against each other in the intro for ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''. 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===
{{main|Princess Daisy}}
[[Image:Peachdaisy-hrc-mss.png|thumb|right|250px|Peach and Daisy celebrating with their friends at Mario Stadium. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be best friends since Daisy's big comeback appearance in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64. Soon after in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Game Boy Color, Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in many 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 (Flower Orb) in ''Mario Party 7'', a team item (Heart), in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and are automatic partners in a vast amount of other games as well.
While Daisy and Peach are considered to be best friends, they are rivaled against each other in games like ''Mario Smash Football'' (where the two face-off in the game's opening) and in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' (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 Challenge 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. That statement has yet to be proven in the games themselves, however.
''Mario Super Sluggers'' is the first game to show the two sharing dialog in which Peach was shown to have a lot of concern for Daisy’s welfare. This can be seen after the player has rescued Peach from Bowser Jr. in the [[Peach Ice Garden]], resulting in Peach joining the overall roster in the game's Challenge Mode.
===Toad===
{{main|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.===
{{main|Bowser Jr.}}
[[Image:Sms peachandjunior.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Peach and Bowser Jr. (''Super Mario Sunshine'')]]
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===
{{main|Toadette}}
Toadette and Peach are close friends. 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 in both Mario Baseball installments. It is stated in the Prima 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 currently resides with Peach in her castle.
===Toadsworth===
[[Image:Peach-mss-intro-1.png|thumb|right|200px|Peach and Toadsworth greeting their friends in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
{{main|Toadsworth}}
There is much confusion surrounding Peach and Toadsworth's relationship. 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.
===Others===
Peach has had minor interactions with other major characters such as [[Yoshi]], [[Waluigi]], [[Birdo]], [[Petey Piranha]], and [[Donkey Kong]].
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. Peach and Donkey Kong appear together in a cutscene for ''Mario Power Tennis''. Peach's performance level drops when in the company of Petey Piranha in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''. They also had a face off in ''Super Princess Peach''. More recently Peach is the one who can recruit Petey for the team in Mario Super Sluggers. In the Mario Baseball series, Peach also interacted with characters such as [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Blooper]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], [[Funky Kong]], and [[King K. Rool]].
==Official Descriptions and Statistics==
==="''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.

*[[Leslie Swan]], Asako Kozuki, [[Jen Taylor]], and [[Nicole Mills]] - These four voice actresses portrayed Peach in most of the Mario series' installments done for the Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Leslie Swan also briefly portrayed Peach in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' for the Nintendo Wii system.
