{{quote|En garde!|Swordfighter Peach|Princess Peach: Showtime!}}
'''Swordfighter Peach''' is one of the many transformations of [[Princess Peach]] in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' In this form, Peach wields a rapier left-handed and wears a cavalier hat and uniform.

==History==
===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
[[File:Princess Peach Showtime! 009 The Mysterious Swordfighter (Swordfighter Peach).oga|left|200px|thumb|Swordfighter Peach's main theme]]
In ''Princess Peach: Showtime!'', Swordfighter Peach is able to perform consecutive sword attacks on enemies and destroy objects blocking her path. The sword attack movements are rapid enough that one of the attack positions involve her spinning upside down. In the sidescroller sections only, Peach can also perform a high spin attack by pressing {{button|switch|leftstick|}} (up) + {{button|switch|b}} while on the ground.

Peach has two ways to dodge if an incoming enemy charges at her first: She can slide along the floor to get behind the enemy, or she can jump if it is successfully timed, during which the jump will be shown in slow motion and Peach will automatically land nearby in a position to attack the enemy. The latter type of dodge is mandatory to beat the three levels' boss fights.

*Sword-2, 2F: [[The Ghostly Castle]]
*Sword-3, BF: [[The Dark Swordfighter & the Arena]]

Swordfighter Peach appears as an Advanced-class primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', introduced in the "Showtime and Wonder Spirits!" spirit event that began on the same day as ''Princess Peach: Showtime!''{{'}}s release. Her puppet fighter is Lucina, who is a nimble swordfighter similar to Swordfighter Peach, and her spirit battle takes place in Hyrule Castle, referencing [[The Castle of Thorns]], conditioned with a stamina battle, referencing ''Showtime!''{{'}}s health system.
