- Main article: Peach Parasol (move)
The parasol appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee where it is a special move. She can glide in the air with it and hit opponents. It also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the same function and its Super Paper Mario design. In The Subspace Emissary in 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. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, two additional variations are added, Parasol High Jump and Light Parasol. Parasol High Jump has her jump high, but she does not float with the parasol, making her helpless after the jump. Light Parasol decreases the initial jump height, but every time she opens the parasol, she can slightly glide upward. After this sequence has been performed four consecutive times, she becomes helpless.
The move returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Daisy now owns a parasol identical to Peach's, albeit reused from Peach's alternate color in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, after the Icicle Golem freezes Mario's team, Peach uses the parasol to glide through the air to save them.

Peach wields her parasol in her victory animation whenever she gets a Birdie or an Eagle. It is implied to be magical, as after waving her parasol around for a bit, she then swings it and has her miniskirt change into her trademark dress.

- In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Peach's parasol where she uses it to sneak out of the castle is pink, however the weapon version of it that can be purchased from Seaside Town after defeating Yaridovich is blue.
