The '''Sprixie Princesses''' are a group of seven characters from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They act as the rulers of the [[Sprixie]]s, a race of fairies who play a major role in the story. They act as the game's damsels in distress, replacing [[Princess Peach]], who does not take her usual role due to being a playable character. The PAL release of ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'' refers to the green Sprixie Princess as the sole Sprixie Princess, while the rest are called her followers.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/718915-super-mario-3d-world/69189908 A GameFAQS topic that shows the developer's comments for the soundtrack.] The comment for the track '[[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]]' reads: "''The Sprixie Princess and her followers have been captured by Bowser! But before you get round to rescuing them, you'll want to spend a bit of time exploring the opening World. This laid back tune is just perfect for getting your bearings.''"</ref> They are similar to the [[Subcon (species)|Subcons]] in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

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, captures the green Sprixie Princess in a bottle, and retreats down the pipe. The group quickly follow in order to rescue the kingdom, and they soon find that each Sprixie Princess is guarded in one of the first seven worlds' castles: defeating the boss of the castle will reveal a [[Warp Box]] that takes the group to a room containing both the [[Goal Pole]] and the imprisoned Sprixie.

Each time a Sprixie Princess is saved, she will build a clear pipe to the next world with either a hammer or a wrench (with the exception of the red Sprixie Princess, since she was recaptured after she was saved in [[World Castle]] (World 7) and she only helped build a rocket ship). It is possible for the player to skip saving the first and fourth Sprixie Princesses if they take the secret exits found in World 1 and [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 4]], respectively.

Here, Bowser confronts the heroes after transforming into [[Meowser]] and is defeated, dropping the Sprixie Princesses in the process.

The green Sprixie Princess appears in her first playable role, as a new, unlockable playable character, in ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]''. As with [[Princess Peach|Peach]], she is classified as a Technical character, meaning that she has good ball control, but below average power. Two methods are available to unlock the Sprixie Princess; she can be unlocked either upon 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, as with the [[Toadette|other]] [[Bowser Jr.|unlockable]] [[Dry Bowser|characters]], upon unlocking Sprixie Princess, her star version (which improves her stats) is unlocked as well.

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 Sprixies, 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.[1] Due to Yoshiaki Koizumi deciding to make Princess Peach a playable character as opposed to having her reprise her usual damsel-in-distress role as how Koichi Hayashida and Kenta Motokura initially intended it to be, the Sprixie Princesses became the damsels in distress getting captured by Bowser instead of Peach.[2]

History[edit]

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Bowser kidnaps the green Sprixie Princess.

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 worlds' castles. 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 rocket). It is possible for the player to skip saving the first and fourth Sprixie Princesses if they take the secret exits found in World 1 and World 4, respectively, although as a result they will be entirely absent during the ending and when Bowser recaptures them.

Bowser recaptures all of the Sprixie Princesses at the end of World Castle (World 7).
Cat Mario poses with the Sprixie Princesses at the top of The Great Tower of Bowser Land.
Cat Mario poses with the Sprixie Princesses after the defeat of Meowser in World Bowser (World 8).

The group eventually manages to rescue the last of the seven Sprixie Princesses after defeating Bowser in 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 for the player to use in order to travel to the secret bonus worlds in outer space.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

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.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash[edit]

A screenshot from Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

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 coins. 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[edit]

The Sprixie Princesses appear as an Advanced-class support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. A fighter equipped with this spirit begins the battle with a 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.
