'''[[Princess Peach]]''' has made many appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], from video games to publications.

==''Super Mario'' series==
===''Super Mario Bros.''===
[[File:SMB Peach Calling for Help Artwork.png|thumb|left|115px|Toadstool's first appearance]]
Princess Toadstool, as she is called, is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' This is her first appearance overall. In the backstory, [[Bowser]] invades the Mushroom Kingdom, transforms its inhabitants into various objects, and {{wp|damsel in distress|kidnaps the princess}} to prevent her from being able to reverse the spell.<ref>{{cite|date=1985|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAAAE.pdf|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet|format=PDF|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=2}}</ref> Princess Toadstool is eventually rescued by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who went on a journey to rescue her. In both the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' reissues, Toadstool also kisses the player character on the cheek. If the player character rescues Toadstool while in his [[Small Mario|Small]] form in the first remake only, he is automatically given a [[Super Mushroom]] right before the kiss,<ref>{{cite|author=Gameplays De Ricandres|date=February 5, 2020|url=youtu.be/Xj9DI7M8E3w?t=800|timestamp=13:20|title=Gameplay - Super Mario All Star<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> -Super Mario Bros (World 8-4)|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=August 15, 2024}}</ref> though in the second remake, Peach kneels to kiss the character in his Small form instead.<ref>{{cite|author=ThePtolemaicCommander|date=December 7, 2022|url=youtu.be/BFOwMEyEZDQ?feature=shared&t=145|title=''Super Mario Bros Deluxe'' - World 8-4|timestamp=2:25|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=August 15, 2024}}</ref> The ''Super Mario All-Stars'' release shows Toadstool in a cage above the [[lava]], which had been reverted in ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'', instead showing Toadstool on the ground, like in the original game.

===''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''===
Princess Peach (which was always her name outside of anglophone regions) is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Peach is kidnapped by Bowser again and eventually rescued by Mario or Luigi after he defeats Bowser. Peach is found in a room behind a door, and her [[Toad (species)|subjects]] celebrated around them after she recited a poem. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' release, Peach is located in a cage dangling above a lava pit, like in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' remake within the same game. In the second remake included in ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'', Peach is on the floor behind the destroyed bridge instead.

===''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''===
Princess Toadstool is a playable character in the {{wp|Western world|Western}} ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. She replaces Lina from the original game, ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. Toadstool joins Mario, Luigi and [[Toad]], the three other playable characters, to free [[Subcon]] from [[Wart]]. Peach's main ability is [[Floating Jump|briefly floating]] after [[jump]]ing, but she has slightly poor vertical jumps. Toadstool is the weakest of the player characters, as the takes the longest to pick up or pull out items.

===''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:Smb3 peach NEW.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Toadstool as she appears in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
Princess Toadstool is both a supporting and a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. For most of the game, Toadstool is not the damsel-in-distress, and she helps [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] by sending items and supplying advice via letters to them. It is not until the defeat of [[Ludwig]] when Princess Toadstool gets kidnapped, revealed in a letter from Bowser. Mario and Luigi travel to Bowser's hideout in [[Dark Land]] and rescue her. In international releases, Toadstool joking says to the player character that she can be found in another castle.<ref>{{cite|quote=Thank you, but our princess is in another [[castle]]! ... Just kidding!|author=Princess Toadstool|date=1990|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref>

Toadstool has a slightly larger role in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In the opening, Toadstool is shown receiving a letter about how the Koopalings are taking over various lands nearby and then dispatching Mario and Luigi. When the player character reaches the second area of [[Dark Land|World 8]], Toadstool is seen transposed on a warp pipe behind a locked gate with the help bubble emerging, before suddenly vanishing while either screaming or crying for Mario. Toadstool's line of being in another castle was not retained in this version. She is displayed on the key art of the [[Blue Green Switch]] card.

For the 25th Anniversary release for ''Super Mario All-Stars'', [[Nintendo]] submitted a letter with Toadstool being the in-universe author, in which she explains that she needs to find new pen-pals, after years of sending letters to Mario. Toadstool states that she sent a power-up for the reader and that they not tell Mario, lest he possibly get jealous, and provides a hint about how they should keep their power up handy as they re-discover their adventures in ''Super Mario All-Stars''. Lastly, Toadstool informs the reader that they can get in touch with her "at another [[castle]]."

===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
Princess Toadstool is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. She is on a vacation in [[Dinosaur Land]] with Mario and Luigi, only to be kidnapped by Bowser again and taken to his castle in the [[Valley of Bowser]]. Toadstool is only seen during the final boss fight and ending. In the battle, Toadstool is kept with Bowser in the [[Koopa Clown Car]], from which she sometimes throws power-up items for the player character. After she is rescued, Toadstool kisses Mario or Luigi on the cheek, and during the credits, travels with Mario, Luigi, and [[Yoshi]] to [[Yoshi's House]] to observe the hatching of the rescued [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s with the other Yoshis.

In [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|the reissue]], Toadstool accompanies Mario and Luigi via [[hot-air balloon]] and looks on as Mario and Luigi explore in Dinosaur Land while in their [[Cape Mario|Cape form]]. Mario and Luigi later return to find Toadstool gone, having been abducted by [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]]. The end sequence was slightly changed to have the Mario Bros. fly behind Toadstool, who is riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], to set up a picnic. Additionally, collecting all of the [[Dragon Coin]]s now results in them being replaced by Princess Coins, which have her likeness instead of Yoshi's.

===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. She invites Mario to the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] for cake, although Bowser takes over the [[Power Star]]s and seals Peach in the fresco over the entrance of the castle. Mario can optionally read two memos from Peach on his journey to rescue her, including [[The Princess's Secret Slide]]<ref>{{cite|quote=My castle is in great peril!! I know it's because of Bowser again. Will he never tire of terrorizing us? He stole the castle's Power Stars and disappeared into the walls along with us! Retrieve all of the Power Stars from the walls and the paintings in the castle.|author=Peach|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> and [[Bowser in the Dark World]], teaching Mario how to fight Bowser (though it is only directly addressed as her in the original version). After Mario defeats Bowser and rescues Peach, she thanks Mario by kissing him and baking him a cake.

The localized anglophone releases mark the only instances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to use both Peach's common name and her original Western name. International releases formerly type the latter with "Toadstool" and personally signed with "Peach" in pink underneath,<ref>{{cite|quote={{file link|Peach's message.png|Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool. Peach.}}|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> marking a transition to the widespread use of Peach's name internationally. International releases added a voice clip of Peach reading the letter. Both the ''Shindō Pak Taiō'' version and ''Super Mario 64 DS'' are additionally the only instances of both "Peach" and "Toadstool" being used in the same game outside of International releases, but only from the voice clip originating from international releases of ''Super Mario 64''.<ref>{{cite|author=emon1478|date=March 18, 2009|url=www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6478323|title=スーパーマリオ64DSをエミュで|publisher=Niconico|language=ja|accessdate=August 15, 2024}}</ref>

===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
[[File:SunsetMarioPeach.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Peach and Mario witness the sunset at [[Sirena Beach]] in the closing cinematic of ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
Peach is both a supporting and a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. She boards an [[Toad Express|airplane]] to [[Isle Delfino]] with Mario and [[Toadsworth]] for a vacation. While watching the tour video, Peach notices [[Shadow Mario|an ominous figure]] resembling Mario and tries to inform Mario and Toadsworth, both of whom are too distracted by the thought of what to do on vacation. At the [[Delfino Airstrip|airstrip]], Peach is unsuccessful again at informing Mario and Toadsworth of the doppelganger's presence. Before Mario leaves to find help, she warns him to be careful, as she has an ominous feeling about the situation. Not too long after, when Mario is put on trail for polluting [[Isle Delfino]], Peach is unsuccessful at defending him and informing of the shadowy doppleganger. While Mario is cleaning [[Delfino Plaza]] as part of his sentencing, [[Shadow Mario]] grabs Peach and runs off, but Mario manages to rescue her. After Mario collects ten [[Shine Sprite]]s, Shadow Mario kidnaps Peach again and takes her to [[Pinna Park]]. When Mario confronts Shadow Mario after battling his [[Mecha-Bowser]], Shadow Mario reveals his true identity, [[Bowser Jr.]], who says that Peach is his mother and that he is protecting her from Mario. Bowser Jr. then flees with Peach to [[Corona Mountain]]. In the last area, Peach is found in a [[Goop#Hot water|giant hot tub]] with Bowser and Bowser Jr. Peach is rescued again after Mario defeats Bowser, and she shows Mario that the power of the Shine Sprites brought the sunshine back to Isle Delfino. Peach, Mario, and Toadsworth then spend the remainder of their vacation as they had originally intended.

===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
Princess Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Peach is first seen with Mario in the intro cutscene, taking a walk around the castle, which is then struck by lightning. As Mario investigates, Bowser Jr. sneaks behind Peach and kidnaps her. Mario chases Bowser Jr., throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is able to eventually confront both Bowser Jr. and his dad, Bowser, by rescuing Peach in the end. To show her thanks, Peach kisses Mario on the cheek, causing him to chuckle nervously.

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:Peach holds Luma SMG.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Peach with a Luma in the opening for ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. She invites Mario to the [[Star Festival]], only for Bowser to soon lift [[Peach's Castle]] out of the ground and take Peach to the creation of his new galaxy. Mario tries to ride the castle before being attacked by [[Kamek]], sending him flying into space. With the help of a [[Baby Luma|Luma]], Mario sets off to rescue Peach. Peach sends Mario letters with [[1-Up Mushroom]]s throughout the game. After Mario rescues Peach and the universe is saved, Mario and Peach wake up in the Mushroom Kingdom reunited.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
[[File:Cage peach real.png|thumb|Peach inside her cage in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is her birthday, and Peach is celebrating it with friends at the castle. During that time, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings bring a cake into the castle and kidnap Peach, taking her to their airship. Mario, Luigi, and both [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad]] give chase to hold them accountable. They eventually manage to find her in Bowser's airship, but [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] takes her to Bowser's Castle and locks her in a cage before disguising himself as her and locks himself in another. After being rescued, Peach takes a hot air balloon alongside Mario, and she either also alludes to a [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|secret world]] that she has to tell Mario about, or otherwise asks him how his adventure was like.

Peach was initially planned to have a playable role in the game, although technical difficulties regarding her dress resulted in this concept being dropped in the final version.<ref>{{cite|author=Harris, Craig|date=October 15, 2009|url=www.ign.com/articles/2009/10/16/miyamoto-on-the-new-mario|title=Miyamoto on the New Mario|publiser=IGN|language=en|accessdate=August 15, 2024}}</ref>

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Like the first game, the intro begins with Peach inviting Mario to the Star Festival again. When Mario arrives, a giant Bowser kidnaps Peach. Once Mario defeats Bowser, he returns to the Festival and enjoys a giant cake. In the end, when Mario collects the final Grand Star, he and Peach pose together.

===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
[[File:SM3DL_Prolog4.png|thumb|upright=1.1|left|Picture of Peach being taken hostage by Bowser after investigating what happened to the Tail Tree after a ferocious storm. (''Super Mario 3D Land'')]]
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. She is kidnapped by Bowser while investigating the damage that a ferocious storm had dealt to the [[Tail Tree]]. When Mario and a few Toads notice this the next day, Mario gives chase to find Peach and bring her back to safety. The postcards sent by Peach reveal that she managed to knock out a Goomba and had an unsuccessful attempt at escaping before Bowser placed her in a nearby cage. After Mario defeats Bowser [[World 8-Bowser: Part 1|the first time]], Peach is taken by Bowser to [[World 8-Bowser: Part 2|his second castle]], where she is tied to a [[Goal Pole]]. Peach tries to warn the player character about Bowser's incoming attack. After Bowser is defeated again, Peach is freed by Mario, and they dance together briefly before the Toads reappear with Super Leaves, allowing them and Mario to fly Peach back to her castle during the credits. When the game is completed entirely, a picture is shown of Peach accidentally gaining a Tanooki Suit-styled dress.

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. She is kidnapped by the Koopalings while Mario and Luigi explore the castle grounds. Upon learning of the kidnapping, Mario and Luigi give chase to hold each Koopaling (and Bowser) accountable for the capture and rescue Peach at the end. During the credits, Peach is carried by Mario until they reach the castle, to which they then do a curtsy.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
[[File:PeachtoadsNSMBU.png|thumb|Peach and her Toad guards in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. She is held captive in her own castle after Bowser throws the player characters out during a tea party. When the four notice from [[Acorn Plains]] that Peach's castle is held under siege, they give chase to rescue Peach and take back the castle. When the four reach the castle and manage to defeat Bowser for the first time, Peach can be seen high above a lone tower pleading for the heroes' help until bars and a barrier cover up the window and block further communication. She is rescued after Mario (absent from ''New Super Luigi U''), Luigi, Yellow and Blue Toad prevail against the final battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr., and also proceeded to witness alongside the others the hasty retreat of [[Bowser's Minions]].

For the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' installment, [[Toadette]] gains a form known as [[Peachette]] (after obtaining the [[Super Crown]]), which causes her to look much like Peach and gain Peach's [[Floating Jump]]. If the player fights Bowser and Bowser Jr. as Peachette, just prior to the boss fight, Peach will notice Peachette and express confusion before the barrier covers up the window.

===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===

Princess Peach is a playable character in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' alongside [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]]. Her inclusion was suggested by game producer [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]].<ref>{{cite|author=DanielleRiendeau|date=June 12, 2013|url=www.polygon.com/2013/6/12/4421244/nintendo-thinking-on-a-different-frequency-with-playable-princess|title=Nintendo thinking on a different frequency with playable Princess Peach|publisher=Polygon|language=en|accessdate=December 9, 2022}}</ref> Peach is first seen in the intro, taking a nighttime walk with Mario, Luigi, and Toad. Shortly after the Mario Bros. repair a [[Clear Pipe]], the Green [[Sprixie Princesses|Sprixie Princess]] emerges from it, followed by Bowser, who traps her into a jar. Peach is the first to try and stop Bowser, immediately running for the Pipe and falling into it. She joined by her friends in their quest across the realms of the Sprixie Kingdom to free the Sprixie Princesses and defeat Bowser. Peach is the second slowest playable character after the unlockable [[Rosalina]]. Peach's jumps are tied with [[Mario]]'s as the third best. Peach has the ability to temporarily hover in the air, as she did in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Like every other character in the game, she can use all of the power-ups that appear. Her appearance changes slightly when using some of the power-ups, most notably the [[Fire Flower]]; when she grabs one, her hair, which is normally worn hanging down, [[:File:Fire Princess Peach Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|is pulled back into a ponytail]]. Peach's Tanooki Suit is darker and has puffy pants and dark boots, rather than its ''Super Mario 3D Land'' design. When power-up forms and items are set to match each characters' color, Peach's are always pink (Fire form aside, as that form is white and red instead), as her [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]], [[Boomerang Mario|Boomerang Suit]], [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] (while [[shell dash]]ing), [[Propeller Box]], [[Cannon Box]], [[Light Box]], and [[Ice Skate]] are all that color.

Though Peach is not in ''Bowser's Fury'', the [[kitten]]s' colors other than the calico ones match those of ''Super Mario 3D World'' playable cast's Cat forms other than Mario, with the magenta one matching Peach's.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
Peach is a character in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. In the 10-Mario and 100-Mario Challenges, Peach is kidnapped by a group of [[Goomba]]s, so Mario goes to rescue her, successfully doing so in the latter challenge after the player completes a set number of levels uploaded by other players chosen at random. There is a [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario|costume]] of Peach that can be unlocked either at random from completing the 100-Mario Challenge, or by scanning a Peach [[amiibo]]. The Peach costume replaces the usual ''Super Mario Bros.'' sound effects with sounds from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

===''Super Mario Run''===
Peach is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. She starts the game having baked a cake for Mario. However, she is kidnapped by Bowser, who attacks the Mushroom Kingdom destroys her castle. Peach becomes playable after Bowser is defeated in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]], the last normal course of World Tour mode. As a player character, Peach can use the [[Floating Jump|Floaty Jump]]. In this game it has her slowly descend in midair rather than briefly hover. This replaces the [[Midair Spin]] for her. If Peach is used to complete [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]], she rescues Toad instead of herself. Doing so happens to be a mission in the game, unlocking the course [[Scuttlebug Forest]].

In Kingdom Builder, Peach appears in front of her castle/tent after completing Bowser's Bob-ombing Run. She sways back and forth. As with all of the Toads, tapping on her makes her jump. 	

A number of [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|buildings and decorations]] are themed after Peach, including a topiary, a statue, a 8-bit statue with a voxel version of her sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.'', a golden statue, and a [[Goal Pole]]. Additionally, events have added Peach statues based on games released after ''Super Mario Run'', such as one based on her wedding dress design in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', and three depicting her appearance in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''. Two of the ''Princess Peach: Showtime!'' ones depict the transformations [[Swordfighter Peach]] and [[Patissiere Peach]], while the last depicts her base appearance while being paired with [[Stella]].

===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
[[File:SMO Art - Wedding Peach.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Artwork of Peach in her wedding dress for ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Peach is a non-playable character 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 spends the majority of the game wearing a special wedding dress called the [[Lochlady Dress]]. Peach is also seen to be wearing a tiara, instead of her usual crown. The tiara is revealed to be [[Cappy]]'s sister, [[Tiara]]. Peach is rescued eventually at the [[Moon Kingdom]], and she rejects both Mario and Bowser while they argue over her, much to their disappointment. When Peach decides to leave for home on the [[Odyssey]], she beckons them to join her. In the post-game, Peach disappears from her castle, having decided to explore the various kingdoms on her own terms with Tiara. She can be encountered at various kingdoms in a variety of outfits, 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. After meeting and obtaining a Power Moon from her in every kingdom, she returns to her castle, though the player can still see her in kingdoms where she was previously encountered, where she now gives comments that are related to the kingdoms.

Concept art shows that Peach at one point was going to be [[capture]]d by Bowser.<ref>{{cite|author=Doolan, Liam|date=September 29, 2018|url=www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/super_mario_odyssey_art_book_reveals_official_bowsette_concept_existed_long_before_the_fan-made_one Super Mario Odyssey Art Book Reveals|title="Official Bowsette" Concept Existed Long Before The Fan-Made One|publisher=Nintendo Life|accessdate=November 9, 2018}}</ref> Another concept art from the same book indicated that Mario and Peach would have actually married.<ref>{{cite|author=The Mario Bros + Princess Peach Fans|date=October 7, 2018|url=www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1125685354281598&id=851561508360652&refid=52&__tn__=-R&_rdc=3&_rdr|title=Facebook post|publisher=Facebook|accessdate=November 9, 2018}}</ref>{{dead link}} In addition, at least two cut outfits were unveiled in concept art, including one  depicting Peach in a Japanese-style coach wearing a pink kimono as an initial version of the outfit she wore at Bowser's Kingdom. The other was her wearing a pink-colored Arabian bellydancer outfit while sitting near a camel, presumably meant to be used at the [[Sand Kingdom]].

===''Super Mario Maker 2''===
Peach is a non-playable character in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. She appears at the end of the story mode once her castle is completed and rewards Mario with a kiss. Peach also offers two jobs, each rewarding her outfit and a wig resembling her hair for the player’s [[Mii]]. Peach's final job can be offered if the player gives [[Toadette|Chief]] 1,000 coins up to ten times to complete a statue of Mario. She rewards the player with her tennis outfit once the job is completed. Her 8-bit form from the [[Mystery Mushroom]] in the previous game also briefly appears when the player starts a new game in Course World's Endless Mode.
{{br}}

===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
Peach is a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. She has the same attributes as Mario and most other characters, so she cannot use a Float Jump. With power-ups, Peach can transform into her [[Elephant Mario|Elephant form]], [[Bubble Mario|Bubble form]], or [[Drill Mario|Drill form]]. She also does not have her hair tied up into a ponytail in her [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], with her appearance now in line with ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' and her alternate costume in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. If Peach is chosen for the level [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]], Bowser will call Peach his beloved and Peach will react in shock.

==''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''==
[[File:PeachGMPPAnime.png|thumb|Princess Peach as she appears in ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'']]
Peach is the damsel-in-distress in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. The story begins with Mario playing a video game at night. After the power for the TV cuts out, Peach jumps from the screen with enemies chasing her. She explains that she is a princess and asks for his help. Mario instantly becomes lovestruck, but Bowser appears and kidnaps Peach, leaving behind her [[Brooch]]. The next day, Mario and his twin brother Luigi seek out the origin of the Brooch, and a dog named "Kibidango" is tasked with guiding them there. After they stumble into the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] via [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], a [[Kinoko Sennin|wise sage]] reveals that Bowser is madly in love with Peach and wants to force her to marry him, hastening Mario's resolve.

After many adventures throughout the kingdom, they finally arrive at Peach's castle (then transformed into a stronghold for Bowser), and manage to defeat him. After returning the Brooch to Peach, she reveals that there is a legend of a matching gem owned by a wonderful prince. Kibidango reacts to the Brooch and transforms into his human form, [[Haru-ōji]] of [[List of Implied Locations#Flower-koku|Flower-koku]], who is said prince. Mario is heartbroken over this, but accepts it.

==''Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.''==
[[File:Super_Mario_Issun-bōshi.jpg|thumb|Princess Peach as she appears in ''Super Mario Issun-bōshi'']]
In the story of ''[[Super Mario Momotarō|Momotarō]]'' in the [[Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.|''Super Mario'' anime]], two elderly [[Hammer Bro]]thers, [[Ojīsan and Obāsan]], are grandparents to the beautiful girl "Princess Peach". Because of her great beauty, Bowser kidnaps her, and Momotarō (Mario) goes to rescue her.

In ''[[Super Mario Issun-bōshi|Issun-bōshi]]'', another story in the series, Peach rescues a small Mario and then shows him around the city.

Finally, Peach plays the role of Snow White in the third story, ''[[Super Mario Shirayuki-hime|Shirayuki-hime]]''.

[[File:peachbowsercartoons.png|thumb|upright=0.85|Princess Toadstool and King Koopa in the intros of the ''Super Mario World'' cartoons]]
In the [[DiC Entertainment]] cartoons ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'', Princess Toadstool appears regularly. She has red hair rather than her usual blond, as her appearance was derived directly from the NES sprite for ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Toadstool is usually kidnapped alongside Toad, so Mario and Luigi save her often. Toadstool also gets herself out of trouble much of the time.

[[File:RobotPrincess.jpg|thumb|left|A [[Robot Princess|robotic copy]] of Princess Toadstool in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Reign Storm]]".]]
Toadstool searches for someone to defeat King Koopa in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', but she also takes the time to help others. She is very charitable, helping orphanages and opening a school. A special form of Toadstool, [[Fire Mario#The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!|Super Princess]], appears 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 (episode)|Super Koopa]]", King Koopa, the Koopalings, and their armies are banished from the Mushroom Kingdom. Princess Toadstool, Mario, and Luigi go on vacation to the [[Dinosaur Land|Dinosaur World]], but Toadstool is kidnapped by King Koopa and his minions. After adventuring and befriending Yoshi, Mario and Luigi manage to rescue Princess Toadstool from King Koopa's Neon Castle and decide to stay in Dome City with the [[Cave People]].

She and Daisy lose a tennis match against [[Yoshi]] and [[Donkey Kong]], eliminating them from the tournament. During the night of the final match, Peach is caught off guard at the [[Peach Dome]] when Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser show up and cause explosives to fly everywhere, also gasping in horror upon witnessing a horde of explosives stowing aboard the underside of Bowser's balloon.

Peach is a playable character. She is classified as a technique player. Peach's control allows her to make sharp hits that touch the sides of the court. Being taller than Mario, she has slightly above average reach. Her biggest disadvantage is her lack of power; her serve is among the weakest in the game. She is also a tad slow, and her lunge is only average. Her [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Offensive Power Shot]] is the [[Super Peach Spin]], which is an extreme curved shot that sends opponents walking toward the net, while her [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Defensive Power Shot]] is the [[Sweet Kiss Return]], a lob shot. Peach's home turf is the [[Peach Dome]], which is the same place where trophies get handed out when participants win tournaments. Peach appears in a few of the trophy ceremonies for specified characters (when players choose Singles Tournaments). In the event that Peach herself wins a Singles Tournament, her respective trophies are handed out by Mario and Luigi.

===''Mario Tennis: Power Tour''===
Peach is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''. Peach is not playable in Story mode, where she invites [[Clay]] and [[Ace]] to her tournament after they complete the [[Island Open]], and has them escorted by Mario and Toadsworth on her private plane.

===''Mario Tennis Open''===
Peach is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''. She is classified as a Technique player. Peach has a home court titled [[Peach's Palace]]. Peach wears her usual sports minidress in this game. Her stats are the same as in ''Mario Power Tennis''. An entire gear set of Peach can be bought from the shop for their [[Mii]]s, as well as unlocking a Peach costume after they have collected at least 800 points in [[Ring Shot]].

===''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash''===
[[File:Mario-Tennis-Ultra-Smash-10.jpg|thumb|Peach celebrating her match victory in ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'']]
Peach is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]''. She is a Technique character. Peach's amiibo can be used as well, and serves as a doubles partner that can be trained by the player.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
Peach is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', as well as in its online tournament demo. In the majority of modes where Peach is playable, her [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]] involves her forming a heart with her racket and hitting the ball.

Peach has a role in the Adventure Mode. After winning the tournament with Mario, Peach was to be "bequeathed" alongside the judges (who were later revealed to be Wario and Waluigi in disguise) with the enchanted racket [[Lucien]]. Luigi intercepts the racket, possessing him alongside with Wario and Waluigi. Peach and Daisy learn from Toad about the [[Kingdom of Bask]] and its possible connection to Lucien. Peach stayed at the stadium at Toad's request alongside Daisy, citing that Lucien alongside the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi would have exploited their absence to attack the stadium again if they had accompanied Mario and Toad. Peach and Daisy would later receive a flyer advertising that Team Mario should face Team Luigi at Marina Stadium for the five Power Stones, and revealed as much to them upon their return after learning of their discoveries. Peach, Daisy, and Mario were doubtful at the odds of defeating Lucien until being informed that Lucien only controls weak-willed individuals, and also had portions of King Bask's powers donated among them to allow them a fighting chance at defeating them and freeing them from Lucien's control. Peach and Daisy then fought Wario and Waluigi while Mario faced Luigi, ultimately succeeding in freeing them. Peach attempts to warn Bowser against stealing Lucien, and implies he is possessed by it, although Bowser makes clear that he was stealing it of his own free will and intending to settle his rivalry with Mario with it before leaving for the depths of Bask Ruins. After Mario defeats the resulting fusion between the two, [[Bowcien]], Peach congratulated Mario for surpassing the odds and reflects that true power is to be used for protection instead of controlling others.

==''Paper Mario'' series==
===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:PM Peach Main Artwork.png|thumb|upright=0.55|Artwork from ''Paper Mario'']]
Peach is one of the protagonists in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She is kidnapped again by Bowser, who uses his castle to carry her away. While being held captive in her own room in the castle, a [[Star (species)|Star Kid]] named [[Twink]] comes to help her, and together they find a secret passage out of her room. Peach sabotages Bowser's plots by supplying Mario with a relatively constant stream of information, using Twink as her messenger. She also uses a special treasure chest, where she could store items, and Mario could fetch them at the chest's counterpart at [[Shooting Star Summit]]. Peach then bakes a cake for [[Gourmet Guy]], and also participate in the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]] run by Bowser's minions. Peach wins a [[Sneaky Parasol]], which allows 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 is lifted by [[Kammy Koopa]] as Kammy recognizes Peach.

After his defeat, Bowser grabs the princess and runs to the roof of the castle. He then uses the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] to make himself completely invincible. Princess Peach and Twink get into a fight with Kammy Koopa, and defeat her. Peach then wishes that her kingdom would remain safe. Twink and Peach add their power to the [[Star Beam]], then called [[Peach Beam]], enabling it to break Bowser's invincibility. Bowser finally is defeated and Peach's castle returns to its original spot in [[Toad Town]]. During the celebrations, she also proceeds to inform the gathered guests about how the Star Haven has been fully restored after Bowser's defeat, and expresses hope for peace for a long time to come before formally announcing the beginning of the celebrations. After the [[victory parade|parade]], Mario takes Peach to his place to watch the fireworks.

A character named "[[A gossip-loving Toad]]" posts gossips about Princess Peach on the back side of the notice board in [[Toad Town]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Peach receives the [[Magical Map]] at [[Rogueport]], as she is told she has a pure heart, which is needed to be able to open the chest of the map. [[Grodus]], however, kidnaps her. On the [[X-Naut Fortress]] on the [[moon]], the base's main computer, the [[TEC]], falls in love with her due to a short circuit in its system, and betrays Grodus to help Peach escape and send e-mails to Mario updating the latter on the X-Nauts' plans. However, Grodus discovered TEC's actions and proceeded to forcibly shut down TEC as Peach was composing and sending the final email, only barely mentioning that she is involved in the revival of the Shadow Queen. It is later revealed that Grodus has been tricked and is following the plans of the Shadow Sirens to reanimate the [[Shadow Queen]] with Peach as a vessel.

In [[Petalburg]], there is a [[Koopa Troopa]] Peach fan who collects posters and pictures about Princess Peach. Between Chapters 2 and 3 of the game, one of his posters, which is life-sized, is mistaken by [[Bowser]] as the real thing.

Peach is a supporting character in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. She, along with Bowser, Luigi, and Bowser's minions, are kidnapped by [[Count Bleck]]. Bleck forces Peach and Bowser to marry, as doing this is the only way to form the evil [[Chaos Heart]], which would destroy the world. As Luigi, who is attending the wedding, stomps on the Chaos Heart in an attempt to stop it, everything is destroyed. Peach, however, survives and later escapes Bleck's Castle (with the help of [[Private Koopa]] and [[Dimentio]], a follower of Count Bleck). Peach falls from the sky into [[Flipside]]; although she is temporarily unconscious when Mario find her, she recovers and joins the team after Mario gives her some [[Spicy Soup]]. Peach can float and shield herself from enemies using her parasol. Luigi and Bowser later join the cause, although Bowser has to be convinced by Peach and Mario first.

She eventually is sent to the Overthere after Dimentio seemingly vaporized her as well as Bowser and Mario, and ended up unknowingly eating a Golden Apple which left her in a deep sleep. She is eventually awoken after Mario fed her a Black Apple to forcibly wake her up.

Over time, Peach and the rest of the gang eventually make it to [[Castle Bleck|Count Bleck's lair]]. In Chapter 8-2, [[Mimi]], a loyal minion of Count Bleck, taunts her for having been kidnapped so many times and for being rescued by plumbers instead of just rescuing herself. Peach and Mimi battle soon after. When Peach wins, a trap door is activated and Mimi falls through it. However, Peach saves her. The two fall down the shaft and are believed to be lost, but both survive. Peach comes back during the final battle against Count Bleck. As it is revealed, Dimentio was the real threat, as Bleck only wanted to destroy the world after the loss of his girlfriend. His girlfriend, however, turns out to be [[Tippi]], a member of Mario's team. After defeating [[Super Dimentio]] and freeing Luigi, Peach witnesses the marriage of Bleck and Tippi in order to stop [[The Void]].

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
Princess Peach first appears in the intro of ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', when she is hosting [[Sticker Fest]], a holiday where wishes come true with the power of the [[Royal Sticker]]s and the [[Sticker Comet]]. However, Bowser crashes the festival and steals the Royal Stickers. He also kidnaps Peach and the local [[Toad (species)|Toads]], sticking them with Bowser Tape. Mario soon saves the Toads and eventually Peach. She then thanks him for allowing everyone's wish to come true - a peaceful kingdom. The Sticker Fest returns and Peach once again congratulates Mario and the kingdom for their efforts.

===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
[[File:PMCS - Princess Peach.png|thumb|left|130px|Peach's appearance in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
Peach first appears in the intro of ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', where she hands Mario a postmarked colorless Toad. She then accompanies Mario on their voyage to [[Prism Island]]. After Mario meets [[Huey]] for the first time, Peach occupies a hotel room in [[Port Prisma]] and heals Mario whenever his [[Heart Point|HP]] is low. However, after Mario obtains the red [[Big Paint Star]], she is kidnapped by [[Black Bowser]]. She then sends various [[Holo-Peach]]es to Mario as he progresses throughout his adventure, telling Mario her whereabouts and spying on Bowser, attempting to learn his plans. However, after a certain point, Black Bowser finds out what she is up to and orders for her color to be drained. The final battle has a color-drained Peach on display above Bowser's throne, and is used beforehand to lure Mario into a battle with Roy.

After beating Black Bowser and restoring him to his original form, Mario recolors Peach, and together they escape [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. Peach is later seen next to Mario at Port Prisma in the celebration of the return of the Paint Stars to Prism Island, cheering him up over the loss of Huey, saying that he would probably be watching over the island right then.

{{quote|Why are you still so...flat? Why haven't you joined me in folded glory... Come...we can reshape you...|Princess Peach|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', Peach invites Mario and Luigi to Toad Town to celebrate at the [[Origami Festival]]. However, she is transformed by [[King Olly]] into one of his [[Folded Soldiers]], which causes her to obey him and her demeanor to change completely to become far more distant. When Mario encounters her in this state at the beginning of the game, she suggests in a series of questions to Mario that the Mushroom Kingdom be "refolded" and her Toad subjects be "silenced" (foreshadowing King Olly's hatred of Toads), and also offers to recruit Mario as one of the Folded Soldiers. Regardless of whether Mario replies "Yes" or "No" to her questions, she says his replies are meaningless and "paper thin" and traps him in her castle's dungeon.

Eventually, she was turned into a tapestry hanging over Olly's throne after her castle transforms into Origami Castle. She is eventually restored to her original self as a result of [[Olivia]]'s wish to undo Olly's actions to the 1,000 cranes, with her wondering why Mario, Luigi, the Toad Origami Craftsman, Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek were present. She eventually accompanies Mario to the Origami Festival, and upon noticing Mario staring at an empty throne in a scale model of the Origami Castle, assures Mario that Olivia is with them in spirit, and wishes she could personally thank Olivia for what she has done.

Peach, or rather her origami form, was planned to be a boss at one point, even having some moves programmed in.<ref>{{cite|author=Mighty_Huseyin|archive=web.archive.org/web/20200729151721/https://twitter.com/Mighty_Huseyin/status/1288493280506847234|deadlink=y|title=Seems like Origami Peach has many unused animations.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
Peach is a supporting character in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. She is invited to [[The Last Resort]] alongside Mario, Luigi, and a few Toads, only to be trapped in a painting with the others except Luigi. Peach is the last to be freed from her painting, right after Mario is freed and leads Luigi to it. [[King Boo]] immediately traps Peach and everyone else in a single painting, also avoided narrowly by Luigi. After King Boo is defeated, Luigi frees everyone from the painting, and Peach contributes to rebuild the hotel.

===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Peach (SSBM)}}
Peach is a playable {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Peach is designed after her earlier appearances, combined with the realistic graphic style of the game. She has her own home course, [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]]. Several of Peach's moves are based on her abilities in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', in that although she is slow and not as powerful, Peach can move quicker and fall slower in the air. Peach is a lightweight fighter, weighing 89 units in this game and all subsequent installments. Peach's {{iw|smashwiki|standard special move}} is [[Toad (move)|Toad]], in which Peach pulls out and hides behind Toad, who counterattacks if hit. Peach's {{iw|smashwiki|side special move}} is [[Peach Bomber]], in which she flies forward hips-first into opponents. Peach's {{iw|smashwiki|down special move}} is [[Vegetable (move)|Vegetable]], in which she pulls a turnip out of the ground. Peach's {{iw|smashwiki|up special move}} is [[Peach Parasol (move)|Peach Parasol]], which allows her to fly into the air and float to the ground with her parasol. Peach is fought at the end of the first stage in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode}}.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Peach (SSBB)}}
[[File:Peach SSBB.png|frame|left]]
Peach is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Her design was updated to be based on her more recent appearances of the time while still possessing realistic details. Peach's moveset goes unchanged, other than being given a [[Final Smash]], [[Peach Blossom]], which puts enemies to sleep and spawns peaches that allow Peach to recover {{iw|smashwiki|damage}}. She also does not move as quickly in the air, and her second jump does not give her as much height.

Her tendency to get kidnapped by Bowser and be rescued by Mario was referenced in [[Solid Snake]]'s codec call while fighting Peach. Although Mei Ling considers it somewhat romantic that someone's always there for her even in the worst situations, Snake was less than impressed, bluntly stating that Mario should be smart enough to tell Peach to stop getting herself kidnapped, with Mei Ling then inferring that Snake does not get much dates for that reason.
=====Role in The Subspace Emissary=====
{{rewrite-remove|section=y|excessive story details|be similarly in line to the [[History of Mario#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|History of Mario]] and [[History of Bowser#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|History of Bowser pages]]}}
[[File:SubspaceIntro-PeachZelda.png|thumb|left|Peach's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary, alongside [[Zelda]]]]
Peach is first seen [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] watching [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] fighting together with [[Zelda]], and run 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 runs off with her. Peach is later taken by [[King Dedede]] along with [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]]. After Mario and Pit defeat Link and Yoshi in a misunderstanding (having beforehand defeated a [[False Zelda|dark clone of Zelda]] when Bowser ambushed and turned her into a trophy), Mario briefly sees Peach's trophy in Dedede's possession. Peach and the trophies are taken to Dedede's Castle, where King Dedede gives them special badges. However, Dedede's Castle is raided by [[Bowser]] and his forces, who takes her with him upon noticing her in the rubble. Peach's badge is knocked off when Bowser is accosted by Mario and Pit.

[[File:WarioPeachTrophy.png|thumb|upright=1.1|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]] after Wario takes Zelda. Peach and Kirby are chased by the [[Halberd]] and are forced to land on it. However, an [[Arwing]], which was hit by the Halberd's artillery, knocks them off the ship. Later on in the story, Kirby leaves Peach behind, making her an easy target for Bowser, who turns her into a trophy (with a [[False Peach|clone of Peach]] left behind with a Dark Cannon). As [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]] slay this clone, Mario and [[Pit (character)|Pit]] believe that they attacked the real Peach, putting the two teams into a brief conflict.

Regardless of Peach and Zelda's predicaments, the very latter part of the Subspace Emissary story shows them found on the Halberd held captive in trophy form. After [[Shadow Bug]]s sneak in to engulf their trophies and copy their forms (resulting in their forming false versions of Peach/Zelda for a second time), they challenge [[Meta Knight]], [[Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake]], who just entered the room. Once the "false forms" of Peach and Zelda are defeated, Peach and Zelda are rescued, though Snake instructs they remain in the room. The princesses disobey and explore the Halberd. When [[Fox]] battles the Halberd a second time, Peach is nearly caught in the crossfire. Zelda (as [[Sheik]]) attacks the Arwing in self-defense. Before their fight can escalate, Peach breaks them up, offering tea. Shortly afterwards, the three, along with Snake, Lucario, and [[Falco Lombardi]] defeat [[Duon]]. Peach then gifts [[Peach's Parasol|her parasol]] to Duon's original state, [[Mr. Game & Watch]], after briefly scolding him. Uniting with all the other fighters, Peach also goes into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] with the others, where they all find [[Tabuu]], the true enemy. She gets hit by his Off Waves and turns back into a trophy along with everyone, 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.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Peach (SSB4)}}
Peach is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Peach's design is less realistic to reflect her cartoony nature. Peach has the same moveset as before, now with added aesthetic effects such as rainbows, hearts, and sparkles. Peach's running animation was changed to be more similar to ''Super Mario 3D World''. In addition, she has two additional color palettes, with one of them being based on her Fire Flower color scheme from ''Super Mario 3D World''. Her eighth color palette features a black dress, while the panniers, stripes, and hem are electric yellow.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Peach (SSBU)}}
Peach is an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. There are some difference with Peach than in previous games of the series. When Peach {{iw|smashwiki|grab}}s an opponent, Toad appears and attacks them instead of Peach for her pummel, and two of her throws. Using the Toad special move causes Toad to appear in front of Peach instead being held up. [[Daisy]] is introduced as a playable character, being a {{iw|smashwiki|clone}} of Peach. Because of this, Peach's second costume, which was based on Daisy in previous appearances, has been changed to a golden dress. Peach's {{iw|smashwiki|forward smash}} is titled A Tool for Every Job, while her {{iw|smashwiki|up smash}} is called Ribbon Dance. Peach's victory theme, which is the orchestral arrangement of the level clear theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' (and is shared with Mario, [[Dr. Mario]], Luigi, and Daisy), has been slightly shortened and sped up compared to the previous installments.

Two [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] are based on the adult form of Peach, aside from her {{iw|smashwiki|fighter spirit}}. One of them is [[Cat Mario|Cat Princess Peach]], while the other is an Ace-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} that depicts her wedding appearance from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' and helps the user recover lots of {{iw|smashwiki|damage}} if they had taken a lot during a {{iw|smashwiki|Versus Mode|match}}. The Wedding Peach spirit appears in {{iw|smashwiki|The Final Battle}} portion of {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light}}, but it can also be obtained from Peach's ''Super Mario Odyssey'' [[amiibo]]. In the spirit battle, the player, who takes constant damage, faces Peach and Mario in their wedding costumes on the [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] stage, but only Peach has to be defeated.
====Classic Mode route====
Peach's Classic Mode route has her fight villains who kidnap damsels on a recurring basis. The vast majority of the fighters in this route are from the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
[[File:MLSS - Princess Peach Artwork.png|thumb|upright=0.85|Artwork from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'']]
Prior to the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Peach is notified by [[Prince Peasley]] of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] that the witch [[Cackletta]] would come and try to steal her voice. Cackletta wants to do this in order to wake the [[Beanstar]], a star-shaped bean which can grant wishes to everyone. The Beanstar has been sleeping and can only be waken by a pure voice, in order to prevent abuse. Peach takes precautions, and when Cackletta and [[Fawful]], dressed as ambassadors, arrive at her castle, they are not received by Peach, but by [[Birdo]], who is disguised as the princess. Cackletta and Fawful unknowingly steal Birdo's voice and escapes from the castle, leaving Birdo with a voice of exploding characters. However, Mario, Luigi and Bowser, who are not aware of the true identity of the "princess", follow Cackletta to the Beanbean Kingdom before the real Peach is able to stop them (with Bowser's presence in particular also forcing her to avoid telling Mario and Luigi this).

After Mario and Luigi have presumably killed Cackletta at the [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], Peach goes to the Beanbean Kingdom by plane. Peach reveals Birdo's disguise, thanks Mario and Luigi for taking care of the Cackletta problem, and decides to spend the holidays in the Beanbean Kingdom. She express the wish to travel to [[Little Fungitown]], a settlement of Toad emigrants, which is lying across the dangerous [[Teehee Valley]]. Toadsworth insists that Mario and Luigi should accompain the princess on this journey. During their venture through Teehee Valley, Peach has to be protect from any harm in the desert. When she disappears from Mario and Luigi's view, [[Gritty Goomba]]s appear instantly and take her to an underground dungeon. If talked to her, she will also head in the opposite direction, due to a suggestion made by Toadsworth earlier. At the valley's end, Peach run into [[Trunkle]], a giant rock monster, but Mario and Luigi save her from it before it is too late.

Later, [[Bowletta]] kidnaps Peach in order to make sure to awake the Beanstar this time, which is showing angry reactions when confronted with Birdo's voice. She takes Peach, who is at the Mushroom Kingdom embassy of Little Fungitown at the time, using Bowser's Koopa Clown Car. However, because the Beanstar had earlier self-destructed under a fit of rage from the Peach-Bot's voice, Cackletta is no longer in the possession of the Beanstar itself. When Mario and Luigi meet Bowletta in [[Joke's End]], Luigi dress himself up as Princess Peach (as Toadsworth had previously provided them with [[Peach's Extra Dress|an extra dress]] for the princess), to fool Bowletta and Fawful, by thinking that he is Peach. The plan succeeds, and Bowletta releases the real Peach, and kidnaps Luigi instead. In the meantime, Mario receives a kiss from Peach. After Luigi's escape from the repaired [[Koopa Cruiser]], Peach stays in the Little Fungitown embassy until Bowletta is defeated.

The key artwork for "Peach" in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' is technically Birdo in disguise, since she is shown using explosive vocabulary.

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
[[File:Princess Peach PiT.png|thumb|upright=0.7|left|Artwork from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]
{{see also|Baby Peach}}
''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' starts with a flashback to the past. [[Toadsworth the Younger]] greets [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] and tells them that [[Baby Peach|the princess]] needs playmates. When they enter the room she is in, [[Baby Bowser]] has taken Peach. After Baby Mario defeats Baby Bowser, the [[Shroob]]s invade the Mushroom Kingdom and attack the castle. Baby Bowser calls [[Kamek]] to escort them out of the castle, who arrives and takes them out with the Koopa Cruiser just in time.

In the present, Peach, [[Toadiko]], and [[Toadbert]] use [[Prof. E. Gadd's time machine]] to travel back to the past, unaware of traveling to the time where the Shroobs were attacking. When they get to the past, the Shroobs corner Peach and the Toads. The [[Elder Princess Shroob]], the leader of the Shroobs, and [[Princess Shroob]], her younger twin sister, attack Peach. Peach grabs the time machine's power supply, the [[Cobalt Star]], and traps the Elder Princess Shroob inside it. Then she breaks the Cobalt Star into pieces, while the Elder Princess Shroob is still inside. While the Cobalt Star shards are spread around the world, Peach is held captive by Princess Shroob.

While Mario and Luigi team up with their baby selves to recover the Cobalt shards, which they need to save Peach, according to Professor E. Gadd. However, she is swallowed by [[Petey Piranha]]. The Mario Bros. and their younger selves defeat Petey Piranha, although [[Kylie Koopa]], who also got swallowed by Petey, says that Peach was spat out earlier. Further into the [[Gritzy Caves]], they find Princess Shroob, disguised as Peach. She is brought to the present by the brothers accidentally. The Toads tell the fake princess to take a rest. However, while she is doing so, Bowser come and kidnaps her, believing that she is Peach.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
In the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|third installment]] of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, the Mushroom Kingdom's citizens fall victim to a mysterious disease known as the [[blorbs]]. Upon hearing this news, Peach proceeds to hold a very important meeting in her castle to discuss the matter at hand (along with [[Starlow]], who explains further about the disease itself). As Peach is proceeding to give said details, Bowser crashes the meeting twice. Upon being knocked out by Mario, he is ejected by Peach (with the help of Starlow) the first time. But Bowser manages to return to the castle the second time, but under the control of Fawful, because he ate a Vacuum Shroom. As a result, Bowser inhales everyone at the meeting, including Peach.

Peach is found by Mario and Luigi in the Flab Zone of Bowser's body. Their reunion is cut short, however, when a group of [[Kretin|Beta Kretins]] captures her and takes her deeper into the area. When the brothers catch up and free Peach, the Kretins attack and are subsequently defeated. After the said ordeal is over, Peach, along with Mario, Luigi, and Starlow, overhear Fawful conversing with Bowser about taking the princess from his body. After which, Peach theorizes that Fawful's real plan is to take over the Mushroom Kingdom by using an ancient artifact known as the [[Dark Star]], hidden beneath Toad Town. She also informs them that she is the only one who can release the seal on the Dark Star's power. However, after relaying said information to the two about the impending danger, Fawful quickly captures her through the use of an odd invention that enables him to reach into Bowser's body with a hand-shaped beam and then takes her to her own castle (which was also under Fawful's control at the time, with it being heavily implied that he got Bowser extremely obese in the first place in order to draw Peach out into the open). While the story passes, Peach is held captive by Fawful, having her energy absorbed. She is later inhaled by Dark Star, or rather, Dark Bowser, which had been created via Dark Star absorbing parts of Bowser's DNA, in an attempt to get more dark power, although since she was devoid of dark power, he does not gain any power whatsoever. Dark Bowser eventually removes Peach from his body (off-screen) after absorbing Dark Fawful and gaining his full power back.

Upon Mario, Luigi, and Bowser finally countering the sources of the blorbs threat, along with defeating the Dark Star itself for good, everything in the Mushroom Kingdom returns to normal and Peach is rescued at last. She also manages to regain consciousness as well, after being awakened by Bowser ejecting the remaining inhabitants of Bowser's body. Though Bowser attacks the Mario Bros. and still attempts to kidnap Peach directly after the Dark Star is defeated, Peach still express her gratitude toward Bowser for his role in saving the world by sending him a cake.

Mario and Luigi's arrival causes the Smoldergeist to flee, only for them to return later to attack the Bros. The group end up entering the collection room after escaping the depths of Pi'illo Castle, where Luigi takes a nap on Dreambert and a bed put on display, which creates a [[Dream Portal]] that sucks Peach into the [[Dream World]].

She is later found in [[Dreamy Pi'illo Castle]] getting carried by the kidnapper who is revealed to be [[Antasma]], who manages to escape the pursuing Mario and [[Dreamy Luigi|Luigi]] by creating a temporary path to [[Dream's Deep]]. After Mario and Luigi find access to Dream's Deep through exploring [[Mushrise Park]] and later [[Dreamy Mushrise Park]], she and Antasma are found there.

However, sending Luigi as the spy surfaces as an alternative option, with Mario being given the choice of who is sent, though if Luigi is chosen she does not play any role in that part of the plot. If Peach is chosen, she waits on Merrygo Island for a Snaptor to capture her, after which she is put in a cell on Lottacoins Island until she is rescued by Mario and Luigi.

She appears in both her normal dress outfit and her biker outfit that debuted in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and is seen wielding an [[axe]]. Her [[Fire Mario|Fire Peach]] form also appears.

Peach announces her plans to the Toads to stop Bowser by teaming up with the [[Kong army]]. She then meets Mario, excited at meeting another human, and decides to test to "see what [Mario is] made of" as he asks to help save Luigi. During their training, she effortlessly completes the [[Training Course|course]], though despite Mario's several failed attempts, she decides to take him and Toad along.

When Peach, Mario, and Toad are camping in a field of [[Fire Flower]]s, she explains that she had originally wandered into the Mushroom Kingdom as [[Baby Peach|a baby]] via a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], and was lucky enough to have encountered Toads who took her in and raised her as one of their own, eventually crowning her as their princess. Mario suggests that maybe she came from the [[Earth|same world]] as he did, and she smiles and responds by saying that there is a huge universe with a lot of galaxies, leaving her true origins ambiguous.

After Mario wins the duel at the [[Great Ring of Kong]], she praises Mario for winning, realizing he never knows when to quit. As they drive on [[Rainbow Road]], she and Mario interact before getting interrupted by Toad and Donkey Kong. As the Koopa army blows up Toad's kart and sends him flying, Peach immediately saves him. They are both devastated at Mario being seemingly killed by the [[Koopa General]]'s attack, head back to the Mushroom Kingdom to warn the Toads, and head to the balcony to confront Bowser, who proposes to her. Though she quickly denies, she reluctantly accepts as Bowser tortures Toad.

During the reception, she knocks out [[Kamek]], transforms into [[Ice Mario|Ice Peach]] with the [[Ice Flower]] smuggled in her bouquet, and battles Bowser before she loses her power caused by [[King Bob-omb]] exploding. She and the others are then transported to Brooklyn and she is restrained by Bowser's army before the Mario brothers become invincible and defeat them all. A vanquished Bowser tries to plead mercy, but a disgusted Peach force-feeds him with a [[Mini Mushroom]]. She and the gang are then cheered as heroes of Brooklyn.

A portrait of Peach as she appears on her letters to Mario in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' can be seen in the antiques shop.<ref>{{cite|author=Illumination|date=December 8, 2022|url=youtu.be/e-3sYL7vJTQ|title=The Super Mario Bros.

Peach is the protagonist of ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''. One day, Peach received an invitation to the [[Sparkle Theater]]. However, while there, a witch named [[Grape (character)|Grape]] alongside her group, the [[Sour Bunch]], invaded the theater and took its occupants hostage. Peach teams up with the theater's guardian, [[Stella]], to try and save everyone. Stella gives Peach the power of [[Sparkle]] in order to further assist Peach in saving the theater. After completing every stage per floor, it unlocks a dark door where a [[Darkle]] boss guards a floor. Completing all stages in a certain costume allows Peach and Stella to rescue a trapped [[Sparkla]] in the basement. Freeing all of the Sparklas allow Peach to access the dark door to Grape with the power of the Sparklas transforming her into [[Radiant Peach]]. Showing up to Grape as Radiant Peach, she defeats Grape. However, Grape reveals her true form [[Grape the Great]] and destroys the Sparkle Theater. With the help of the Theets' maximum Sparkle power, Peach becomes [[Super Radiant Peach]], helping her defeat Grape the Great. Upon Grape the Great's defeat, she fades from existence, and Peach repairs the Sparkle Theater. At the end of the game, Peach and the Sparklas [[Fourth wall|perform a curtain call]].

Princess Toadstool makes a cameo in Game B of the Nintendo Entertainment System version of ''[[nwiki:Tetris (NES)|Tetris]]'' alongside the Mario Bros. upon completing one of the heights, specifically height 5. Toadstool in particular is atop the highest turret applauding, and is the only one of the characters that appear that neither use a musical instrument or, in the case of the Mario Bros., do any dancing.

In a sketch by the producers of ''{{wp|Robot Chicken}}'' from Nintendo's {{wp|E3 2014}} YouTube video, Peach encounters [[Bowser]] upon reaching for the last donut at the snack table. Bowser apologizes for his repeated kidnappings of Peach and asks to take the donut, but Peach takes it anyway.

Many references to Peach are in the [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|''Animal Crossing'' series]]. In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: City Folk|City Folk]]'' and ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|New Leaf]]'', an item is available called [[nookipedia:Item:Peach's parasol (New Leaf)|Peach's parasol]] that can be obtained respectively from Tom Nook's shop if the player earns 4,000 points or from Timmy and Tommy's store from purchasing a {{iw|nookipedia|fortune cookie}}s to win a prize.

A costume resembling Princess Peach is unlockable for [[Bayonetta]] and Jeanne in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[nwiki:Bayonetta (game)|Bayonetta]]'' and ''{{iw|nwiki|Bayonetta 2}}''. The costume consists of a shortened version of Peach's dress, with Mario dolls attached to it, and golden details. A palette swap for it is available, and resembles [[Daisy|Princess Daisy]], but it lacks the Mario doll and instead has a Luigi doll. In both versions, her summon is Bowser. There is also an unlockable special moveset based on Mario and Peach's abilities.
