[[File:SMB Peach Calling for Help Artwork.png|thumb|left|115px|Peach's first appearance]]
For the ''Super Mario'' videogame series, Peach (under the name "Princess Toadstool") makes her debut appearance in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game. In the very first game of the ''Super Mario'' series as a whole, [[Bowser]] invades the Mushroom Kingdom, transforms its inhabitants into various objects, and kidnaps the princess so she cannot reverse his spell. [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] go to rescue her. After they defeat Bowser, the brothers rescue Toadstool. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' versions, Toadstool also gave her hero a kiss on the cheek, which depending on what form the player was in upon rescuing her, she either knelt down to Mario/Luigi (small form) or otherwise stood on her tiptoes (Super/Fire forms) to do so. Note that this only applied to the ''Deluxe'' version, as the ''All Stars'' version had Mario being supplied with a Mushroom to automatically restore him to Super Mario if he was Small Mario. Depending on the version, where she was found also varied. In the original game as well as the ''Deluxe'' version, she was merely found on the floor behind the destroyed bridge. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', she is instead found in a cage dangling above a lava pit.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Bowser kidnaps Peach again. Mario and Luigi travel through the Mushroom Kingdom again to save her. After defeating Bowser, the Bros. save her again. In the original version, she was found in a room behind a door, and her subjects celebrated around them after she recited a poem. In the ''Deluxe'' version, due to it reusing assets from the first game, she was merely found on the floor behind the destroyed bridge. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', she is instead found in a cage dangling above a lava pit. In both instances, she largely reused her speech from ''Super Mario Bros.''

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Princess Peach along with Mario, Luigi and [[Toad]], sets out to rescue [[Subcon]] from the evil [[Wart]]. This is the first time in the overall ''Super Mario'' franchise where Peach is a playable character. Her main ability is [[Floating Jump|briefly floating]] after [[jump]]ing, but she has slightly poor vertical jumps. Peach is also the weakest character in the game, picking up or pulling out items the slowest. Her equivalent in the game it was derived from, ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', is Lina.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bowser sends his [[Koopalings]] to capture parts of the [[Mushroom World]]. Princess Peach sends Mario and Luigi to defeat the Koopalings. She helps them by sending them items and supplying advice via letters. After the Bros. defeat [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], the final Koopaling, they are supplied with a letter from Bowser via the [[Pipe Land]] King revealing that the Koopa King has kidnapped Peach while the brothers were fighting off the Koopalings. The two travel to Bowser's hideout in [[Dark Land]] and rescue her. In the English version, Peach plays a joke on Mario and Luigi at the very end by saying to them, "Thank you, but our princess is in another castle! ... Just kidding!" This joke, however, is removed in ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3''.

In the GBA remake, her role is slightly extended due to having a cameo in Dark Land. The cameo, which occurs upon the player first arriving at the second area of Dark Land, has Peach transposed on a warp pipe behind a locked gate with the help bubble emerging, before suddenly vanishing while either screaming or crying Mario's name (depending on who the player is playing as at this time). Also, she is seen in the opening, which shows her receiving a letter about how the Koopalings are taking over various lands nearby and then dispatching Mario and Luigi. She is also used for the key art for the Japanese version of the [[Blue Green Switch]] card.

Her tongue-in-cheek line of being in another was was removed. Peach is displayed on the key art for the Japanese version of the [[Blue Green Switch]] card.


In the 25th Anniversary release for ''Super Mario All-Stars'', aside from the role she played in-game, her sending letters in the game was referenced by a letter submitted by Nintendo with her being the in-universe author, with the letter itself stylized more after the SNES version in design. In the letter, she explains that, after so many years writing letters to Mario, she decided it was time to find new pen-pals, and jokingly states that she sent a power-up just for the reader and that they not tell Mario, lest he possibly get jealous. She then gives a hint about how they should keep their power up handy as they re-discover their adventures in ''Super Mario All Stars''. She then closes by stating that to get in touch with her, they simply need to find her "at another castle."

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Peach invites Mario to the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] for cake, but before he arrives, Bowser takes control over the [[Power Star]]s and seals Peach in the fresco over the entrance of the castle. After Mario defeats Bowser and rescues Peach, she thanks Mario by kissing him and baking him a cake.

This installment is the only game for the ''Super Mario'' franchise overall to provide both Peach's Japanese and Western names. In the original Japanese version, it was merely listed as "Peach" - in the North American release and subsequent editions, the letter is formally typed with "Toadstool" and personally signed with "Peach" in pink underneath. This marked a transition to the widespread use of her original name in other markets, therefore making it an international standard and the first (and only) time Japan heard the North American name of the princess (in the Shindo Taio Pak Version and its remake), though most of the in-game text refers to her as "Toadstool."

''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' had the same plot, except this time, Yoshi, Luigi, and [[Wario]] also help Mario rescue Peach.

A little known feature of both games is that if the player searches in "[[The Princess's Secret Slide]]" room, they will find a memo from Peach. It reads, "My castle is in great peril!! I know it's because of Bowser again. Will he never tire of terrorizing us? He stole the castle's Power Stars and disappeared into the walls along with us! Retrieve all of the Power Stars from the walls and the paintings in the castle." She has another memo in [[Bowser in the Dark World]], teaching Mario how to fight Bowser (though it is only directly addressed as her in the original version).

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario, Peach, and [[Toadsworth]] go to [[Isle Delfino]] for a vacation. However, Peach notices [[Shadow Mario|an ominous figure]] in the background of the tour video who resembles Mario. She attempts to inform Mario and Toadsworth about what she saw, but they are too busy thinking of the opportunities of the vacation to pay attention. When seeing this doppelganger near the airport after making an emergency stop, she again attempts to no avail to inform Toadsworth and Mario (who are busy discussing how to deal with the dilemma) of the doppelganger's presence, only to notice the doppelganger has disappeared. Before Mario leaves to find help, she warns him to be careful, as she has an ominous feeling about the situation. She also makes an unsuccessful attempt to defend Mario during his trial after it becomes apparent he was framed for defacing Isle Delfino with gunk. While Mario is cleaning [[Delfino Plaza]] as part of his sentencing, [[Shadow Mario]] grabs Peach and runs off. Mario chases Shadow Mario and rescues Peach. After Mario collects ten [[Shine Sprite]]s, Shadow Mario kidnaps Peach again and takes her to [[Pinna Park]]. He attacks Mario in his [[Mecha-Bowser]], but Mario defeats him. When Mario confronts him after the battle, he reveals that he is Bowser's son [[Bowser Jr.]] and says that Peach is his mother (to her shock) and that he is protecting her from Mario. Bowser Jr. then flees to [[Corona Mountain]] with Peach. Over time, Mario makes his way to this area and finds Bowser and Bowser Jr. attempting to force Peach into swimming with them in their [[Goop#Hot water|hot tub]]. Mario defeats Bowser in a final battle and rescues Peach. When [[F.L.U.D.D.]] is damaged from the impact after falling from the mountain, Peach shows Mario that the power of the Shine Sprites brought the sunshine back to Isle Delfino. Peach and her friends then manage to spend their vacation as they had originally intended.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Peach is celebrating her birthday with friends at the castle. During that time, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings bring a cake into the castle and kidnap Peach, taking her to their airship. Mario, Luigi, and two Toads (specifically [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]]) give chase to hold them accountable. They eventually manage to find her in Bowser's airship, but [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] takes her to Bowser's Castle and locks her in a cage. After being rescued, Peach takes a hot air balloon alongside Mario (with Luigi accidentally being left behind), with Peach either also alluding to a [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|secret world]] that she has to tell Mario about, or otherwise ask him how his adventure was like.

She is added to the overall roster after the player defeats Bowser in [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]] at least once. While playing the game as Peach, her special ability is her Floating Jump, which has her slowly descend in midair, rather than briefly hover.

Mario eventually rescues Princess Peach at the Moon Kingdom, but while he is competing with Bowser and advancing at Peach for the marriage, it ultimately results in Peach rejecting them both, much to their disappointment. When she decides to leave for home on the Odyssey, she beckons them to join her. In the post-game, Peach disappears from her castle, having decided to explore the various kingdoms on her own terms with Tiara. She can be encountered at various kingdoms in a variety of outfits, where she provides Mario with the relevant Power Moon when talked with. After giving Mario the Power Moon, she then makes a brief comment that hints at her next destination. After meeting and obtaining a Power Moon from her in every kingdom, she returns to her castle, though the player can still see her in kingdoms where she was previously encountered, where she now gives comments that are related to the kingdoms.

In addition, after her castle is rebuilt, she will offer two jobs, each rewarding her outfit and a wig resembling her hair for the player’s Mii. Her final job can be offered if the player gives [[Toadette|Chief]] 1,000 coins up to ten times to complete a statue of Mario. She rewards the player with her tennis outfit once the job is completed.

Peach appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' as the damsel-in-distress. The story begins with Mario playing a video game at night. After the power for the TV cuts out, Peach jumps from the screen with enemies chasing her. She explains that she is a princess and asks for his help. Mario instantly becomes lovestruck, but King Koopa appears and kidnaps Peach, leaving behind her [[Brooch]]. The next day, Mario and his twin brother Luigi seek out the origin of the Brooch, and a dog named "Kibidango" is tasked with guiding them there. After they stumble into the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] via [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], a [[Kinoko Sennin|wise sage]] reveals that King Koopa is madly in love with Peach and wants to force her to marry him, hastening Mario's resolve.

In the animation for ''Chef'', Peach flips some eggs to Mario, who is clearly waiting to be fed. Although Mario manages to eat three eggs, several more end up falling down with Peach flipping them to Mario's table at a quick enough rate that he ultimately ends up buried underneath the eggs, clearly overwhelmed by the number, before Yoshi comes in, eats all the eggs, and takes a stunned Mario away.

In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], even though Peach is Technique, she leans more towards all-around. This is because of her height to reach the ball, and her speed and ability to send the ball over the net. In the game's intro, Peach is seen walking in line with the other characters, giving greeting signs. During the tournament, she wins against [[Birdo]] to advance to the semi-finals, but loses to [[Luigi]] in the following semi-final match. Later, when Wario and Waluigi unexpectedly arrive, Peach is caught off guard. As the commotion between Mario and Luigi against Wario and Waluigi continues to stir up, Peach begins to feel doubtful.

For this game's "Adventure Mode," after winning the tournament with Mario, Peach was to be "bequeathed" alongside the judges (who were Wario and Waluigi in disguise) with the enchanted racket [[Lucien]]. However, Luigi ended up intercepting the racket, and was possessed alongside with Wario and Waluigi. Peach, alongside with Daisy, then learned from Toad (after being pressured by the latter) about the Kingdom of Bask and the racket's possible connection to it. Peach stayed at what remained of the stadium at Toad's request alongside Daisy, citing that Lucien alongside the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi would have exploited their absence to attack the stadium again if they had accompanied Mario and Toad, requesting only that they do not get themselves into extremely dangerous situations. Just prior to Mario and Toad's return, she alongside Daisy received a flyer, advertising that Team Mario should face Team Luigi at Marina Stadium for the five Power Stones, and revealed as much to them upon their return after learning of what they've discovered. Peach, Daisy, and Mario were initially unsure whether they could even beat Lucien, until Astren informs them of how Lucien only controls weak-willed individuals, and also had portions of King Bask's powers donated among them to allow them a fighting chance at defeating them and freeing them from Lucien's control. Peach and Daisy then fought Wario and Waluigi while Mario faced Luigi, ultimately succeeding in freeing them.

While her design in this game is based on her earlier design, her appearance is still significantly different from her normal design, having a more realistic appearance than she does in actual ''Super Mario'' games. Peach's attributes are similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', in that while she is slow and not as powerful, she can move more quickly and falls more slowly in the air, and has the unique ability to temporarily float through the air by holding down the jump button. She is voiced by Jen Taylor in this game, who provided her voice for the late Nintendo 64 ''Super Mario'' games and voiced her in several games since. Peach is a lightweight fighter, weighing 89 units in this game and all subsequent installments.

She also does not move as quickly in the air, and her second jump does not give her as much height.

The latter is an Ace-class support spirit that helps the user recover a large amount of health when they are critically damaged during a fight. The spirit can be encountered in The Final Battle portion of [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]], or obtained from Peach's ''Super Mario Odyssey'' [[amiibo]]. In the spirit battle, the player, who takes constant damage, faces Peach and Mario in their wedding costumes on the [[New Donk City Hall (stage)|New Donk City Hall]] stage.

Cackletta wants to do this in order to wake the [[Beanstar]], a star-shaped bean which can grant wishes to everyone. The Beanstar has been sleeping and can only be waken by a pure voice, in order to prevent abuse. Peach takes precautions, and when Cackletta and [[Fawful]], dressed as ambassadors, arrive at her castle, they are not received by Peach, but by [[Birdo]], who is disguised as the princess. Cackletta and Fawful unknowingly steal Birdo's voice and escapes from the castle, leaving Birdo with a voice of exploding characters. However, Mario, Luigi and Bowser, who are not aware of the true identity of the "princess", follow Cackletta to the Beanbean Kingdom before the real Peach is able to stop them (with Bowser's presence in particular also forcing her to avoid telling Mario and Luigi this).
Prior to the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Peach is notified by [[Prince Peasley]] of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] that the witch [[Cackletta]] would come and try to steal her voice. Cackletta wants to do this in order to wake the [[Beanstar]], a star-shaped bean which can grant wishes to everyone. The Beanstar has been sleeping and can only be waken by a pure voice, in order to prevent abuse. Peach takes precautions, and when Cackletta and [[Fawful]], dressed as ambassadors, arrive at her castle, they are not received by Peach, but by [[Birdo]], who is disguised as the princess. Cackletta and Fawful unknowingly steal Birdo's voice and escapes from the castle, leaving Birdo with a voice of exploding characters. However, Mario, Luigi and Bowser, who are not aware of the true identity of the "princess", follow Cackletta to the Beanbean Kingdom before the real Peach is able to stop them (with Bowser's presence in particular also forcing her to avoid telling Mario and Luigi this).


After Mario and Luigi have presumably killed Cackletta at the [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], Peach goes to the Beanbean Kingdom by plane. Peach reveals Birdo's disguise, thanks Mario and Luigi for taking care of the Cackletta problem, and decides to spend the holidays in the Beanbean Kingdom. She express the wish to travel to [[Little Fungitown]], a settlement of Toad emigrants, which is lying across the dangerous [[Teehee Valley]]. Toadsworth insists that Mario and Luigi should accompain the princess on this journey. During their venture through Teehee Valley, Peach has to be protect from any harm in the desert. When she disappears from Mario and Luigi's view, [[Gritty Goomba]]s appear instantly and take her to an underground dungeon. If talked to her, she will also head in the opposite direction, due to a suggestion made by Toadsworth earlier. At the valley's end, Peach run into [[Trunkle]], a giant rock monster, but Mario and Luigi save her from it before it is too late.

However, Wario would never get the chance to hold it for ransom as Mario managed to airlift it away after Wario defeated the Syrup Gang, including their leader [[Captain Syrup]].
