| The '''Sprixie Princesses''' are a group of seven characters in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They act as the rulers of the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] and the [[Sprixie]]s, a race of fairies who play a major role in the story. The British English release of the ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'' refers to the green Sprixie Princess as the sole Sprixie Princess and refers to the others as her followers.<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'' insert|page=5|date=2014|publisher=Nintendo|language=en-gb|quote=The Sprixie Princess and her followers have been captured by Bowser!

| |
| The green Sprixie Princess first appears when [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] find and repair a [[Clear Pipe]]. The pipe promptly ejects a large number of items before the princess emerges. The green Sprixie Princess tells the group that the Sprixie Kingdom is in danger, as Bowser had managed to capture the other six princesses, and that she had only narrowly escaped his grasp. Moments after she emerges, however, Bowser comes up through the same pipe, leaving her dazed, and captures the green Sprixie Princess in a bottle, then retreats down the pipe. The group quickly follows after Bowser in order to rescue the kingdom, and the group soon finds that each Sprixie Princess is guarded in one of the first seven [[world]]s' [[castle]]s. Defeating the boss of a castle reveals a [[Warp Box]] that takes the group to a room containing both the [[Goal Pole]] and the imprisoned Sprixie Princess.

| Each time a Sprixie Princess is saved, she builds a Clear Pipe to the next world with either a hammer or a wrench (with the exception of the red Sprixie Princess, since she gets recaptured after she is saved in [[World Castle]] (World 7) and she simply helps build a [[Mini Rocket|rocket]]). It is possible for the player to skip saving the first and fourth Sprixie Princesses if they take the [[secret exit]]s found in World 1 and [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 4]], respectively, although as a result they will be entirely absent during the ending and when Bowser recaptures them.

| | | She first appears when [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] walks around the [[Clear Pipe]]. While they are investigating the Pipe, Sprixie Princess pops out from the Clear Pipe. As soon as she comes out, [[Bowser]] emerges from the pipe also, with the purple smoke surrounding him. He then grabs the fairy princess and put her into the bottle. The group enters the Clear Pipe to rescue her and her [[Sprixie]] companions. |

| The group eventually manages to rescue the last of the seven Sprixie Princesses after defeating Bowser in [[Bowser's Muscle Car|his muscle car]] for the second time in World Castle, seemingly the last stage of the game. However, Bowser promptly reappears, stuffs all seven princesses into a larger bottle, and flees to [[World Bowser]] (World 8), a Bowser-themed carnival area that serves as the true final world of the main game. Here, Bowser confronts the heroes after transforming into [[Meowser]] and is defeated, dropping the Sprixie Princesses in the process. The princesses then use their powers to undo all the harm done to their land before waving goodbye to the heroes as they return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] via a Clear Pipe.
| |
| | |
| After the ending credits, the Sprixie Princesses build a rocket in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]] for the player to use in order to travel to the secret bonus worlds in outer space.

| ===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
| |
| Since the ending of the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' uses the same scene as the beginning of ''Super Mario 3D World'', albeit with a new ending, the green Sprixie Princess appears briefly, while the other six Sprixie Princesses appear in the image in her speech bubble.

| |
| Only the green Sprixie Princess appears in her first playable role in ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]'', where she is an unlockable character. Like Peach, she is classified as a Technical character, meaning that she has good ball control but below-average power. The Sprixie Princess is the only unlockable character in ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'' to have this classification. Two methods are available to unlock the Sprixie Princess: She can be unlocked either upon the player hitting at least 100 consecutive shots in Mega Ball Rally or by purchasing her from the rewards menu for 5,000 [[coin]]s. Regardless of the method used, upon the player unlocking the Sprixie Princess, her star version (which improves her stats) is unlocked as well. The [[emblem]] on her racket is a picture of her head (excluding the mouth), and like [[Boo]], [[Rosalina]], and [[Bowser Jr.]], she flies to move instead of running.
| |
| | |
| The Sprixie Princess is the only playable character in ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash'' not to return in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| |
| The Sprixie Princesses appear as an Advanced-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. A {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} equipped with this [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] begins the battle with a {{iw|zeldawiki|Fairy Bottle}}, referencing how the Sprixie Princesses were trapped in bottles in ''Super Mario 3D World''. Their spirit can be summoned using a [[Wanda]] and [[Princess Shokora]] core.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *[[Bowser]]'s method of capturing the Sprixie Princesses is similar to [[Link]]'s method of catching [[zeldawiki:Fairy|fairies]] in the series [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']]. | | * Bowser's way of capturing Sprixie Princess is similar to how [[Link]] does with the [[zeldawiki:Fairy|fairies]] in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (series)|Legend of Zelda series]]. |
| *The Sprixie Princesses' color schemes match the color schemes of the worlds in which they are captured.
| |
| **The Sprixie Princesses' color schemes also represent the respective colors that collectively compose white light. This is evident when Bowser combines the Sprixie Princesses' power for himself, which generates a white light.
