Pichi-hime is Princess Peach's descendant from the year 2159 who appears in the Solar Striker storyline of the Super Mario Land 4 manga. She looks just like Peach, with the only difference being the futuristic sailor uniform. She is the best pilot of the Federation Army and Marīo's (Mario's descendant) partner, but it is not made clear if she is related to him or not.
During the Reticulon Army's attack on Earth, Marīo and Pichi are instructed by Āreku Taichō to take a floppy disk to the SolarStriker and execute operation Power Pod. On their way to the hangar, Torino Daiō attacks them and almost squashes them under his foot. Luckily for them, a time portal opens under them and they fall in the present times, in front of their ancestors. The two salute them with their time greeting: a smack on the butt. Peach scolds them, calling them perverts (to which Pichi has to look up the word on the dictionary) and invites Mario to greet them back, with Peach stopping him from even trying. Torino Daiō, with his leg inside the portal, grabs what he thinks are Marīo and Pichi, and drags them back through the portal, but he has instead caught Mario and Peach, who, after getting free from his clutches, are mistaken for their descendants and executes operation Power Pod in their stead.
In the present, Marīo and Pichi collaborate with Dr. Areku to open another time portal and send the floppy disk to the future. Once Areku solves the floppy disk problem by leaving it in a time capsule near the future Federation Army's base for Mario to find, he goes back to open a portal for the two soldiers. When Areku finally opens another portal that will lead them inside the SolarStriker, Marīo and Pichi reunites with their ancestors.
While Mario is busy dodging incoming enemies, Pichi holds on Mario's arm, angering Peach due to jealousy. This leads to the two princess arguing, causing Mario to turn around and scolding them to stop, failing to noticing an incoming Blazer. Thanks to it a breach is formed on the SolarStriker that sucks out Marīo, Pichi, and Princess Peach and the three are left adrift in space, until they land on a Power Pod, where Mario will later find them. While finally facing Torino Daiō, Pichi and Marīo hold him at gunpoint, but Torino Daiō upgrades his armor in supperalloy, prompting them to run. To defeat Torino Daiō, Viokun shape-shifts into a Lightsaber but needs to be set on fire to deal damage. So Pichi hugs Mario, causing Peach to literally burst in flames from jealousy, and Mario uses her fire to get the lightsaber and defeats Torino Daiō. After that, Pichi and Marīo partake in the celebratory picnic with their captain and their respective ancestors.
