## History

### *Mario & Luigi* series

#### *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*

In light of the souring conditions on the Shroob Planet, the Shroobs, led by Elder Princess Shroob and Princess Shroob, plot to invade and destroy the Mushroom Kingdom in order to create a kingdom of their own in *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*. Their first target is Baby Peach's Castle. By coincidence, Baby Bowser is also planning his first attack on the kingdom to kidnap Baby Peach. Just as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi arrive for a play date, he breaks into the castle. He defeats Baby Bowser, saving her from the attack.

However, no sooner had Baby Bowser been defeated, the Shroobs begin their attack on the castle. Caught unprepared, the castle is soon declared lost. Realizing that they would be in grave danger if they stay, Baby Bowser calls Kamek and orders him to bring in the Koopa Cruiser. He allows Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, and Toadsworth the Younger to flee with him. Toadsworth the Younger places the princess in a stroller and rolls her aboard.
Baby Peach laughs at Toadsworth and Toadsworth the Younger.
In the space of time, the Shroobs take over almost all of the Mushroom Kingdom, including Toad Town. Baby Peach's Castle is transformed into Shroob Castle. The Koopa Cruiser is being pursued, but Baby Bowser defeats the Shroob UFOs that attempt to shoot them down. As they pass over Hollijolli Village, the cruisers' pilots notice two attacked "villagers," the future Mario and Luigi, who traveled back in time to find the future Princess Peach. He instructs his minions to ignore them and heads for his castle. Upset, Baby Peach throws a loud tantrum until Baby Bowser finally agrees to land and rescue the "villagers". Baby Mario and Baby Luigi rescue their older selves from the Shroobs and bring them onboard.

Just as they get to Baby Bowser's Castle, Princess Shroob launches a missile, which shoots the Koopa Cruiser down. It crashes into the castle, sending Baby Peach and Toadsworth the Younger flying. He searches the castle with the princess, eventually finding Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi escaping to the future through a Time Hole. They follow, emerging in the Mushroom Kingdom of the future, years after the Shroobs had been defeated and order restored.

Toadsworth the Younger and Baby Peach remain in the future where it was safe while Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi travel back and forth through time to save the Mushroom Kingdom. The efforts of the future Toadsworth and Toadsworth the Younger to amuse the young princess teach the Mario Bros. new moves. When Princess Shroob disguises herself as Princess Peach and follows the brothers to the future, Baby Peach is agitated by the alien princess and cries. Later, Bowser comes to kidnap the princess and Young Toadsworth attempts to ram into him using Baby Peach's stroller, at which point Bowser dodges but falls into a time hole with the disguised princess. After the brothers defeat the Shroobs, save the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, and save the future Princess Peach, they return to the future. Using E. Gadd's time machine, Baby Peach, Toadsworth the Younger, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi return to the past. (Source)

### *Mario Kart* series

#### *Mario Kart Wii*

Baby Peach makes her first appearance in the *Mario Kart* series through *Mario Kart Wii*. She is one of the new additions to the *Mario Kart* series overall and is the only one of them available to be chosen from the start. She is in the small size class, which allows her to drive karts or bikes with high acceleration and good off-road capabilities. However, these karts also have low speed. Like all other racers, Baby Peach owns one version of each of the karts and bikes in her size class. Her karts and bikes are pink and her symbol is her crown, like the adult Princess Peach.

#### *Mario Kart 8* / *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*

Baby Peach returns as a default playable racer in *Mario Kart 8*. She is a lightweight character, in the group of characters that have the highest acceleration, handling, and grip but with the lowest speed and weight, alongside the other baby characters and Lemmy Koopa. In GCN Baby Park, a statue of Baby Peach appears, made out of pink gold.

Baby Peach also reappears in *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*, now sharing stats with only Baby Daisy. They are now the lightest characters in the game.

#### *Mario Kart Tour*

Baby Peach appears in *Mario Kart Tour* as a Normal character, being very easy to unlock. In the closed beta test, her special item were the Triple Mushrooms; however, this was changed to the Bubble for the official release. A Cherub variant also appears, being introduced on January 29, 2020 as the first High-End spotlight driver in the Valentine's Tour. Her special item is the Heart, and her spotlight kart and glider are the Apple Kart and the Sweetheart Glider, respectively.

## Personality

Baby Peach's personality bears similarities to that of her older self. She is mischievous, friendly, clever, pure-hearted, and enjoys the company of others. Baby Peach also exudes charm and elegance. Her playful nature can be seen through her enjoyment of races, baseball, and the antics of Toadsworth and Toadsworth the Younger in *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*. However, Baby Peach is quick to tears and tantrums when she gets upset.

### Physical description

In *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*, her appearance is made to resemble the current look of Princess Peach, albeit wearing a pink and white snugglie. She has large blue eyes with three eyelashes (unlike Peach who has six), rosy cheeks, and a tiny nose. Baby Peach's full blonde hair is styled in the same way as her adult counterpart, although her hair is very short. Baby Peach always wears a large crown with red and blue jewels and sucks on a pink pacifier, unlike Baby Rosalina and Baby Daisy (they have gold pacifiers). Baby Peach is also seen with bright red sneakers. Prior to her *Super Smash Bros. Brawl* trophy, Baby Peach has updated her outfit since her appearance in *Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time*. She currently wears a pink dress shirt with a dark pink ruffle at the bottom, white tights, and dark pink shoes.

Her Cherub outfit, as indicated by the name, wears a modified version of her regular outfit that has a reminiscent design to a cupid.
