| |
| In [[Super Mario Bros.]], Peach (known as Toadstool back then) was kidnapped by [[King Bowser]], so [[Mario]] needed to rescue her. He went through eight castles, but each of the first seven was guarded by a fake Bowser and the only person trapped there was a [[Toad]].
| |
|
| |
| ''Thank you [[Mario]]! But our princess is in another castle!''
| |
|
| |
| After completing all seven castles, [[Mario]] finally found the princess.
| |
|
| |
| In [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], players could actually play as Princess Toadstool (as well as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]]) on their quest to save the dream land of Subcon. Her main ability was that she floated for a few seconds after each jump.
| |
|
| |
| In [[Super Mario Bros. 3]], the princess sent items to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], while they saved the [[Mushroom Kings]]. However, later on, [[King Bowser]] kidnaps Toadstool and the [[Mario Bros.]] must save her.
| |
|
| |
| For [[Mario]]'s first SNES game, [[Super Mario World]], the game went back to the original plot: Save the Princess from [[King Bowser]]. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] rescued Toadstool with the help of [[Yoshi]].
| |
|
| |
| In [[SMW2: Yoshi's Island]], Toadstool was not in the game at all. Instead, [[Baby Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] rescued [[Baby Luigi]] from [[Kamek the Magikoopa]].
| |
|
| |
| In [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], a SNES game made by Squaresoft, Toadstool was one of [[Mario]]'s party, along with [[Mallow]], [[Geno]] and [[King Bowser]]. Her healing abilities made her one of the most important members of the group.
| |
|
| |
| [[Super Mario 64]] once again reverted to the old plot: Save the princess from [[King Bowser]]. Toadstool baked a cake for [[Mario]], but when he came to the castle, [[Toad]] told him that [[King Bowser]] had kidnapped Toadstool... again. This is the first game that called the princess '''Peach'''. She has been called Peach in all games afterwards, except for [[Super Mario 64 DS]].
| |
|
| |
| In [[Paper Mario]], the second [[Mario]] RPG, [[King Bowser]] once again kidnapped Peach, and Mario rescued her, with the help of [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Bow]], [[Parakarry]], [[Sushie]], [[Watt]] and [[Lakilester]].
| |
|
| |
| Peach didn't appear at all in [[Luigi's Mansion]]. However, some [[Toads]] mention her, eg. ''The princess will be so mad!''
| |
|
| |
| In [[Super Mario Sunshine]], [[Mario]], Peach and [[Toadsworth]] go to Isle Delfino. However, [[Shadow Mario]] (who turns out to be [[Bowser Jr.]]) has filled the island with grafitti, and [[Mario]] is forced to clean it up with [[FLUDD]]. Peach turns out to be [[Bowser Jr.]]'s mother, but then [[King Bowser]] admits that it was a lie.
| |
|
| |
| Peach had her voice stolen by [[Cackletta]] and [[Fawful]] in [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]], the third [[Mario]] RPG. But it turns out that it wasn't really Peach at all; it was [[Birdo]], who disguised herself as Peach to trick [[Cackletta]]. When [[Bowletta]] kidnaps Peach, [[Luigi]] dresses himself up in Peach's spare dress to fool [[Bowletta]] and [[Fawful]] into thinking he is Peach. The plan works, until [[Luigi]] accidentally reveals his moustache.
| |
|
| |
| In the final [[Mario]] RPG, [[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]], Peach is kidnapped again, but not by [[King Bowser]] - she is kidnapped by [[Grodus]], the leader of the [[X-Nauts]] and taken to the [[X-Naut Moon Base]]. You can control Peach after each chapter, like in the original [[Paper Mario]], and a computer named [[TEC]] falls in love with her and betrays [[Grodus]] to help Peach escape. [[Grodus]] destroys [[TEC]] when he finds out, and takes her to the [[Palace of Shadow]], where the [[Shadow Queen]], the ancient 1000-year old demon, posesses Peach and fights [[Mario]]. However, she finds Peach's body too weak and returns to her true form (a purple monster) for the final battle.

|
| |
| Peach is also playable in the [[Mario Party]] and [[Mario Kart]] series, as well as the [[Mario]] sports games.
