Debut: Super Mario Bros
Originally named Princess Toadstool in America, she is the crown princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario's main love interest. She gets kidnapped frequently by Bowser in the main Super Mario Bros. games, but proves herself to be very skilled in sports.
Tropes associated with Peach:
- Barrier Maiden
- The Chick: As the heroine of team.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: She shows this at times, most especially during The Subspace Emissary.
- Distressed Damsel (All too often, except for Super Princess Peach, where she is the main character, while Mario gets to be in James Bondage. Frequently lampshaded in the RPGs.)
- Dub Name Change: America originally called her Princess Toadstool. Later they would call her Peach, making Toadstool her last name.
- Ermine Cape Effect
- Everythings Better With Princesses
- Hundred Percent Adoration Rating: She's loved so dearly by her subjects that it's not uncommon for them to have sets of Princess Peach merchandise in their homes.
- Fragile Speedster: In the racing and sports games.
- Informed Attribute: Her ability to govern, as noted in the tropes below. May have something to do with Conservation of Detail, since she gets kidnapped often and talking is boring.
- The Other Darrin: Peach had a much lower voice in Super Mario 64 and the non-Japanese versions of Mario Kart 64. Her original voice was recently brought back in Super Mario 64 DS, complete with newly recorded lines for the ending to take the added playable characters into account... and then she's back to her high voice for the subsequent games.
- Lawful Good: Though we rarely see her govern, she's apparently very good at it.
- Opera Gloves
- Parasol of Pain
- Parasol of Prettiness
- Parasol Parachute
- Pimped-Out Dress
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: We've seen her do exactly two actual acts of government in the past 25 years. Though there are plenty of meetings shown in the RPGs, they either get interrupted or were trivial to begin with.
- Power Creep, Power Seep: She ranges from a Distressed Damsel to an effective Lady of War depending on the game.
- Princesses Prefer Pink
- Princess Classic
- Purity Sue: Factored into some of the RPG plots this way.
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: They aren't married, but Mario and Peach are often depicted as the Official Couple of the series.
- Spoiled Sweet: Has her castle, her kingdom, and her pretty dresses. She is not The Libby, though.
- Super-Empowering: In Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World.
- Victorious Childhood Friend: To Mario.
