Peach's Parasol[citation needed] (also called Peach's Umbrella)[citation needed] is what Princess Peach uses to defend herself and to glide in the air. In some games, it replaces and acts like how she uses her dress to glide. Baby Peach also uses this parasol.
History
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Peach's parasol first appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, where it is used to sneak out of the Mushroom Castle by floating gently out the window; Mario is later shown using this parasol when Mallow is reunited with his mother and father by shielding himself from Mallow's emotion-generated rain. In the Nintendo Switch remake, this parasol is updated to its modern design, and it is used to form a large shield barrier in the Spare-Us-All Triple Move if Mario, Peach and Geno are in the party.
Peach can equip a separate one as a weapon, simply under the name Parasol. It is colored turquoise instead of pink, and is able to be purchased from the shop in Seaside Town after Speardovich is defeated. It has an attack power of 50 points, with a deviation of five points. Functionally, it is similar to a hammer, though instead of a second strike, it opens up when a Timed Hit is performed.
Super Smash Bros. series
- Main article: Peach Parasol (move)
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach uses a white parasol in her up special move, Peach Parasol. She can glide in the air with it and hit opponents. Peach also uses her parasol in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the same function and its current design, first used in Yoshi's Island DS. Peach also holds it in her up taunt and on-screen appearance as of Brawl, and in one of her victory poses in Ultimate. In the Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Peach briefly carries the parasol around while strolling on the Halberd's deck, and later gives it to a just-restored Mr. Game & Watch shortly after scolding him.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy uses a parasol identical to Peach's, albeit reused from Peach's alternate color in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. She also holds it during her on-screen appearance.
