- —Belome, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
A Peach is an edible, juicy fruit with restorative properties. Peaches vary in size greatly. The smallest are the typical size for a Mushroom World fruit and the largest are roughly as big as Bowser. However, only the largest peaches grow in Mushroom World. The smallest only appear in the world of Super Smash Bros. Peaches have become an symbol of Princess Peach as a result of their use as an emblem for her band, the Peach Hit Five in Super Princess Peach.
Although Peachy Peaches have a similar name and appear nearly identical, Peachy Peaches are actually created through human means, while peaches grow on trees.
History
Momotaro
In the Super Mario Amada Series, a story named Momotaro contained a couple of references by peaches. 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, the peach became his symbol.
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Each of the kingdoms in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat 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 Smash Bros. Brawl
Peaches served as a recovery item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, similar to the food item. Peaches only appeared when Peach used her Final Smash, Peach Blossom to summon peaches from the sky. During the Final Smash, an abundance of the fruit rains from the sky and can be consumed by any fighter, each restoring 5% damage.
Other References
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Peaches are given a passing reference in this title. During the second battle with Belome, the boss can consume Princess Peach as one of his attacks. He comments that she tastes "peachy" immediately after doing so. In Mario Kart 64 in this title, each character has a set of phrases that he or she issues if a positive event has occurred. Such events include passing another racer or using a Mushroom or Golden Mushroom. One of Peach's phrases was, "Peachy!".
While Peach was rescuing Mario, Luigi, and the 112 Castle Toads who had been kidnapped by Bowser and the Koopa Troop in Super Princess Peach, the princess collected songs and voice samples that were hidden on Vibe Island. Having done so, she created a band, the Peach Hit Five, and performed these songs with them. The group decided to use a peach as part of the band's logo. Additionally, the on-stage screen showed a peach splitting open to reveal the band's logo. One positive phrase Peach used was, "Peachy!".
