A Peach is an edible, juicy fruit with restorative properties. Peaches from the Mushroom World are enormous, ranging from the size of a human head to twice the size of Hoofer the Wildebeest. Peaches have become an emblem of Princess Peach's band, the Peach Hit Five and appear as a result of her Final Smash, Peach Blossom.
The largest known Peaches grow in the Peach Kingdom on two large fruit trees deep inside the Arctic Plunge and Ancient Foundry. Both were eaten by Donkey Kong on his quest to defeat the tyrannical Torch Tusk during the events of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
Although Peachy Peaches have a similar name and appear the same, Peachy Peaches are actually created through human means, while Peaches grow on trees. Therefore, the two are completly unrelated.
Peach Blossom
- Main article: Peach Blossom
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Peaches appear during Princess Peach's Final Smash, the Peach Blossom. The move puts all of Peach's enemies to sleep while normal-sized Peaches fall from the sky. Because of the state of her opponents, Peach is free to consume all of the Peaches and restore her health. Even though the Final Smashes of all other characters directly relate to actions or items from individual worlds, Peaches do not explicitly grow in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, Peachy Peaches are often created in the kingdom.
Momotaro
- Main article: Momotaro
in the Super Mario Amada anime Momotaro, Mario wore a headband emblazoned with a Peach. This same image was the logo for the anime. This appearance was the first mention of Peaches in any continuity.
Appearances
- Momotaro (1988)
- One night after an elderly couple's granddaughter was kidnapped by a terrible ogre, a gigantic peach fell from the sky. When it landed and split open, a boy named Momotaro (played by Mario) emerged. The grandparents kindly took him in, but when Momotaro heard about their granddaughter, he set out to rescue her. Wearing a headband emblazoned with a peach emblem over his hat, peaches became his symbol.
- Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (2004-'05)
- Each of the kingdoms in this game were named after a specific fruit. The Peach Kingdom was named after peaches and symbolized by the fruit in the game's level select menu. Donkey Kong could only clear the Arctic Plunge and Ancient Foundry levels if he reached peach tree at the end of each level and consumed the gigantic peach on each one.
- Super Princess Peach (2005-'06)
- As Princess Peach progressed though the adventure, she found and bought hidden music tracks and voice samples that comprised the game's soundtrack. The Peach Hit Five could then perform these tracks using a peach as their logo. An on-stage screen showed a peach splitting open to reveal the band's logo.
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Scheduled 2008)
- Peaches served as a recovery item in this title, similar to the food item. Each peach restores 5% damage. Peaches only appeared when Peach used her Final Smash, Peach Blossom, during which the fruit rains from the sky and can be consumed by any fighter. Each peach restores 5% damage. Peaches were presented as two-dimensional photographs rather than three-dimensional models.
