Appearance

Princess Peach's looks are different than what they used to be. In her first game, Donkey Kong (1981) and in her second game, Super Mario Bros. (1985), she had orange hair and her dress was red. She had red hair and her dress was white in Super Mario Bros. 2 (1986). In Super Mario World (1991), her looks changed. She now had yellow hair and a rose dress. In the Mario sport series games, she wears different dresses because she cannot play well in her normal, long, rose dress. In the Super Smash Bros. games, Peach wears rose shorts.

Her name has changed over the years. In Japan, her name was always Peach. When Nintendo sold Super Mario Bros. in other countries, she was called Princess Toadstool. In Super Mario 64, her name became Princess Peach Toadstool.

Peach appears most often as the damsel-in-distress – always being kidnapped by Donkey Kong and Bowser. Mario must always rescue her. In Super Princess Peach (2006), the tables are turned and Bowser kidnaps Mario instead. Peach must then rescue Mario. As depicted in the game, Peach uses a parasol named Perry to defeat enemies. In the Super Smash Bros. games, Peach is one of the fighters. In the game series, Peach uses her butt against the opponents. This attack is called Peach Bomber. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Peach's Peach Bomber was accompanied with fire. In the later Super Smash Bros. games, it was accompanied with hearts. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Peach is accompanied with Daisy, who is an echo fighter.

Peach has been voiced by four different actresses. The first was Leslie Swan. The second was Jen Taylor. The third was Samantha Kelly. The fourth was Courtney Lin.
