'''Obā-chan''' is [[Princess Peach]]'s biological grandmother who appears disguised as her granddaughter in chapter 12 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 13|Volume 13]]. She is 100-year-old and widowed.

In the last story arc of the volume, Obā-chan (in disguise) organizes a race where one of its prizes is her hand in marriage. Interested in it, [[Mario]] (with [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]], interested in the other prizes), [[Bowser]], and [[Wario]] participate in the race.

After a long battle, Bowser comes out victorious and "Peach" jumps in his arms and gladly accepts to take him as his spouse, much to Mario's horror. As a fight starts between Mario and Bowser, Yoshi notices that "Peach" has her skin stretched and pulled by pins to hide her wrinkles, and she even loses her dentures. When Mario and Bowser notice it, the real Peach arrives and reveals she did not organize the race: her grandmother did under her name with the intention of finding herself a new husband.

With this reveal, Bowser is now stuck with a fiancée, while her elder friends are about to use her same plan to find a new husband, prompting Mario and the others to run.

It is unknown if Obā-chan is Peach's paternal or maternal grandmother, although the [[Mushroom King]] (Peach's father) sponsored the race, suggesting his connection with her.
