Princess Peach/Appearances

== In ==
===Super Mario Bros.===
In the backstory for Super Mario Bros., Princess Toadstool is kidnapped by Bowser during his invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. The reason why Princess Toadstool was kidnapped is so Bowser can prevent her from reversing his spell that transformed its inhabitants into various objects. Mario and Luigi go on a journey to rescue Princess Toadstool and save the Mushroom Kingdom.
During gameplay, after Mario or Luigi defeat a False Bowser at the end of one of the seven castles, he encounters a Mushroom Retainer, who informs Mario or Luigi that Princess Toadstool is located in a different castle. Princess Toadstool is finally found at the very end of World 8-4, on the floor behind the destroyed bridge, after Mario or Luigi defeat the real Bowser himself. Princess Toadstool provides Mario or Luigi with the option to play through a "new quest," which is a harder mode of the original game.
In the Super Mario All-Stars version, Princess Toadstool is instead found in a cage dangling above a lava pit. When Mario or Luigi enter the cage, Princess Toadstool stands on her tiptoes and gives him a kiss on the cheek. If either Mario or Luigi is in his Small form after defeating Bowser, he is given a Magic Mushroom to change to his Super form before receiving a kiss from Princess Toadstool.
In Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Princess Toadstool is found on the floor again, like in the original Super Mario Bros. but she still kisses Mario or Luigi like in the Super Mario All-Stars version. If Mario or Luigi visits Princess Toadstool while in his Small form, he is not automatically given a Mushroom to change into his Super form. As such, Princess Toadstool kneels down to kiss Small Mario or Luigi, but like in Super Mario All-Stars, Princess Toadstool stands on her tiptoes to kiss Mario or Luigi if he is in his Super form.
Although Princess Toadstool is shown with blonde hair and a pink dress in her artwork, her sprites in Super Mario Bros. depict her with red hair and a white dress, likely due to the Nintendo Entertainment System's palette limitations.
===Super Mario Bros. 2===
Princess Toadstool (called The Princess) made her first playable appearance in Super Mario Bros. 2. She replaced Lina from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. The Princess can glide in midair for about 1.5 seconds. Based on the ability, Peach was later seen gliding since Super Smash Bros. Melee as the only character to use this ability until Daisy joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Princess has poor speed and power but average jump, and has the lowest statistics among the playable characters.
In the sequel, Mario and his friends had a picnic. He told his friends along with Princess Toadstool about his dream; they had the same dream. They saw a cave and entered through it. They opened the door and realized Subcon was the world of their dreams. Further to their adventure, Toadstool encountered Wart and defeated him. She also saved the species of Subcon and they celebrated along with Mario, Luigi, Toad and herself.
===Super Mario Bros. 3===
In the sequel to her first playable appearance, Bowser attempts to take over the Mushroom Kingdom again. Instead Bowser (King Koopa) managed to kidnap the Kings and Guards of the Kingdom with the help of the Koopalings leaving the princess helpless. She then asks Mario and Luigi to save them. Near the end, Princess Toadstool ends up being kidnapped by Bowser again, leaving Mario and Luigi to save her too. At the end, everyone is saved and Toadstool played a little joke on the Mario Brothers by saying "Thank you, but our princess is in another castle! ... Just kidding!" referencing the Toads' quote in Super Mario Bros..
===Super Mario World===
In this third sequel, she flies in a hot air balloon to Dinosaur Land for a vacation with Mario and Luigi. When they arrived, they found out Bowser was there too when he kidnaps Princess Toadstool again. The Mario's with their new friend Yoshi traveled through the different areas of Dinosaur Land battling Bowser's troops and Koopalings until they reached his castle and fought him on the roof. After hitting him with his Mechakoopas six times, Bowser drops Toadstool from his flying Koopa Clown Car and is sent spinning out of control into the distance. She then returns home with the Mario bros and they find that the Yoshi's have hached eggs.
===Super Mario 64===
In Super Mario 64, Princess Toadstool (or Peach as she is called for the second time in the western world since Yoshi's Safari introduced it) invites Mario to her castle to eat some cake she had baked, but once Mario arrives, it is revealed that Princess Toadstool had been kidnapped by Bowser once again, and that many stars found inside of paintings (which can be jumped into, revealing stars for a stage) must be restored in order to make progress in the game. In the end, Bowser gets the power of all the stars, and Mario must defeat Bowser in order to free Princess Toadstool. In the end, Peach gets saved and thanks Mario, inviting him so she can bake the cake for him. In the DS remake, the story is the same except that Wario, Yoshi, and Luigi are also involved.
===Super Mario Sunshine===
In Super Mario Sunshine, Princess Peach, along with Mario and Toadsworth, take a vacation to Isle Delfino. In an advertisement video on the plane taking them to Isle Delfino, Princess Peach discovers a shadow that looks exactly like Mario, holding a paint brush. But Mario and Toadsworth aren't aware of the shadow, considering the fact they were too caught up in the great things they saw in the advertisement video. When arriving, a mysterious goo called Goop was found on the runway. Mario finds a talking, spraying robot called F.L.U.D.D. made by E. Gadd and uses it to spray away the Goop. Mario is then accused of making the mess in the first place (considering the fact that the real person who made the mess was an imposter of Mario) and is told he must clean up the mess. Later, Peach is kidnapped again by the imposter of Mario, named Shadow Mario. When Mario catches up with him, he must fight Mecha Bowser. After defeating it, Shadow Mario reveals his true form, being Bowser Jr., this game being his first to appear in. After explaining that the paint brush (which was the item being used to make this whole mess) was made by E. Gadd, and explaining that Bowser was once again behind this whole mess and had tricked Bowser Jr. into thinking Peach was his mother, Bowser Jr. takes Peach away, and Mario must go after her once again. Later, Mario finds Bowser Jr., still disguised as Shadow Mario, and defeats him. After this, a flood occurs at Delfino Plaza, making it possible for Mario to get into the volcano, called Corona Mountain. After finding Peach, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. in the volcano and defeating them, Mario gets Princess Peach back once again.
Princess Peach does not have any sleeves on her dress, and this is the first game where she wears such an outfit, as well as the first time where she ties her hair up into a ponytail (which would be used in realistic situations where women in real life have their hair tied back such as in sporting and kart racing events) and the second time since All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros. where she has her hair arranged in a Japanese cultural Shimada updo.
===Super Mario Galaxy===
In Super Mario Galaxy, Princess Peach's castle — with her inside — has been brought up into space by King Bowser Koopa, who wants Peach to rule the universe with King Bowser Koopa. She gets taken into Outer Space, along with many of the Toads, and Mario takes it upon himself to go progress through different galaxies to save her. Sometimes, she sends letters containing 1-up Mushrooms to the Comet Observatory.
===New Super Mario Bros. Wii===
Princess Peach is kidnapped once again, just like in her other appearances. Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings infiltrate her birthday party via a huge cake, throw it on top of her, and take it (and her) away. Mario has to go through different Worlds in order to save her. When he saves her, she is found in a little cage. After this, the two fly away in a hot air balloon. Originally, Princess Peach was planned to be a playable character in the game, but Nintendo apparently couldn't afford the extra programming of her dress, and thus decided to scrap the idea.
===Super Mario Galaxy 2===
Princess Peach asks Mario to come eat cake with her while they watch the stars. But when Mario arrives at the castle, he sees King Bowser Koopa in a huge form holding Princess Peach, saying that maybe she would bake a huge cake for him, and wanting to create a huge empire that was more "me-sized." After this, he takes her away, and Mario is left to chase after King Bowser Koopa and his son in order to get Princess Peach back, going through galaxies once again, and occasionally being sent 1-Up Mushrooms again.
===Super Mario 3D Land===
Princess Peach is kidnapped after a destructive storm destroyed the Tanooki Tree, according to a postcard. Mario travels to the end of the first segment of World 8 to rescue her, where he finds that it is but a cardboard cutout. King Bowser Koopa shows that he indeed has the true Princess, so he grabs her and runs to the end of the second part of World 8, where Mario rescues her after beating King Bowser Koopa for a second time.
===Super Mario 3D World===
Peach appears as a playable character in Super Mario 3D World. She retains her floating ability from Super Mario Bros. 2 in this game. Peach can use new powerups such as the Super Bell, which turns her into Cat Peach, and even use a Fire Flower to become Fire Peach.
===Super Mario Odyssey===
Peach appears again in Super Mario Odyssey, once again taking her signature role as the damsel in distress. In the game, Bowser makes an attempt to marry Peach, and large billboards and posters advertising the marriage can be seen throughout the different kingdoms in the game. Peach is also seen to be wearing a tiara, instead of her usual crown, Tiara, who is Cappy's sister.
In Cloud Kingdom, Peach was seen wearing the Lochlady Dress before Mario fights Bowser. Upon Mario defeating Bowser, the latter has the airship fire the onboard cannons to attack the Odyssey and cause Mario, Cappy and the Odyssey to fall to the Lost Kingdom. Peach cries for help from Mario, but as Mario is unable to help her, Bowser leaves the Cloud Kingdom with her.
When Mario reaches the top Pagoda palace in Bowser's Kingdom, he attempts to rescue Peach and Tiara but he is knocked out by Bowser's hat with boxing gloves and takes off with both captives to leave the Kingdom and head to Moon Kingdom.
Mario ultimately manages to catch up to Bowser and Peach and halt the wedding at Moon Kingdom, also defeating Bowser. However, before she and Mario can escape, the chapel starts to collapse. In order to save himself and Peach, Mario is forced to capture Bowser in order to get all of them to safety. After getting to safety, Bowser, even after losing his power, attempts to vie her hand in marriage with a bouquet of Piranha Plants, pushing Mario away. To prevent that, Mario desperately tries the same thing with a Burst Flower. As a result, Peach gets swarmed by pestering grooms, but ultimately chooses neither and sternly rejects them, annoyed by their behavior. However, when she decides to leave on the Odyssey, she beckons the disheartened two to come along to go home.
In the post-game, Peach disappears from her castle, having packed things up, deciding she wanted to explore the various kingdoms on her own terms with Tiara. She can be encountered at various kingdoms, where she provides Mario with the relevant Power Moon when talked with. After giving Mario the Power Moon, she then makes a brief comment that hints at her next destination. When encountered, she waves enthusiastically at Mario, strongly implying that she has forgiven him for his aforementioned actions in the ending. She wears a gray pea coat and black beret in the Cap Kingdom, Snow Kingdom and Moon Kingdom, the explorer outfit in the Cascade Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, and Lost Kingdom, a white short-sleeve blouse, pink knee-length skirt, pink scarf, white summer hat with pink trim, and gray high heels in the Sand Kingdom, Cloud Kingdom, Metro Kingdom and Ruined Kingdom, a bikini with a skirt in the Lake Kingdom and Seaside Kingdom, a pink collar shirt, overalls, pink boots and farmer's hat in the Luncheon Kingdom, and a kimono with a Fire Flower pattern on it along with a Boo mask in Bowser's Kingdom. Although she wears her traditional dress when encountering Mario at the Mushroom Kingdom, if the player goes in and out of her castle, Peach will be wearing a different outfit each time she is encountered.
==In Super Mario Bros. Print World==
There are several printable graphics of Princess Toadstool, most of which depict her artwork from Super Mario Bros. and are named "Princess." One graphic depicts the Super Mario Bros. 2 artwork of Princess Toadstool pulling a Vegetable, and it is named "Princess Toadstool."

======
Peach is the fourth fighter added to represent the Mario franchise. Peach primarily uses melee combat, but also uses unique special moves based on her abilities in Super Mario Bros. 2.
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
Peach was introduced to the series as a playable character. She is designed similarly as in Super Mario 64, with a dress styled in a more detailed version of her first dress, that just had a dark pink line across her waist. Peach is voiced by Jen Taylor.
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
Princess Peach returns as a playable starter character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Her design changes heavily in the game as her clothes are a lot more detailed and have complicated textures that resemble her current appearance. Peach is voiced by her current voice actor Samantha Kelly. Her moveset doesn't really change from the one in Melee beyond minor buffs/nerfs as well as aesthetic enhancements. Peach, like all veterans, received a Final Smash, Peach Blossom, used to lull all opponents to sleep while summoning numerous healing peaches onto the battleground.
====Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Super Smash Bros. for Wii U====
Peach returns again in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as a starter character. She is rebalanced as a mix between her Melee and Brawl. Her general appearance from Brawl remains unchanged, but is brighter to match her appearance in Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World.
====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
Peach reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a female fighter classified 13. This game marks Princess Peach's first time to be an unlockable character due to being excluded from the characters that debuted in Super Smash Bros. who are starting fighters. She is also the first fighter to be confirmed to have an echo fighter, Daisy. Peach's Daisy inspired costume has been replaced by Peach's gold costume based of Gold Mario from New Super Mario Bros. 2. Peach received many buffs and fair amount of nerfs. Her model features a glossy texture.
Peach is absent in the World of Light cutscene, but she was one of the fighters to be evaporated by Galeem's beams and fell under Dharkon's control. Peach is found on the desolate platform of Molten Fortress sub-area, close to where Giga Bowser is fought. The player must press the blue ! Switch in order to progress finding Peach. Hencing this location, it is a reference to Peach's damsel-in-distress role.
In Classic Mode, considering Peach known for getting kidnapped, Peach fights opponents that kidnapped a damsel-in-distress taking place in Super Mario themed stages excluding Jungle Japes. Her penultimate battle is against her captor, Bowser. Like most fighters, she fights Master Hand and Crazy Hand depending on intensity.

Peach is playable in every installment of the series. She is usually classified as being a Skill type character.
