Princess Peach: Difference between revisions

In [[Super Mario Bros.]], Peach (known as Toadstool back then) was kidnapped by [[King Bowser]], so [[Mario]] needed to rescue her. He went through eight castles, but each of the first seven was guarded by a fake Bowser and the only person trapped there was a [[Toad]] (then known as a [[Toad|Mushroom Retainer]]).  

In [[Super Mario Bros. 2]], players could actually play as Princess Toadstool (as well as Mario, [[Luigi]] and Toad) on their quest to save the dream land of Subcon from the evil [[Wart]]. Her main ability was that she could float for a few seconds after each [[Jump]].

In [[Super Mario Bros. 3]], the princess sent items to Mario and Luigi, while they saved the [[Mushroom Kings]]. However, later on, Bowser kidnaps Toadstool and the [[Mario Bros.]] must save her.  

For Mario's first SNES game, [[Super Mario World]], the game went back to the original plot: Save the Princess from King Bowser.  Mario and Luigi rescued Toadstool with the help of [[Yoshi]].  

In [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars| Legend of the Seven Stars]], a SNES game made by Squaresoft, Toadstool was one of Mario's party, along with [[Mallow]], [[Geno]] and Bowser.  At the beggining of the game, Bowser kidnaps her. Mario comes to her aid, and fights Bowser. However Exor crashes into Bowsers Keep, and sends the three flying in different directions. Peach landed in the castle of Booster. Booster falls in love with her, and plans to force her to marry him, despite her cries of "MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME!". In the end Mario and Bowser rescue her, and she joins their party. Her healing abilities made her one of the most important members of the group.

[[Super Mario 64]] once again reverted to the old plot: Save the princess from King Bowser. Toadstool baked a cake for Mario, but when he came to the castle, Toad told him that Bowser had kidnapped Toadstool... again. This is the first game that called the princess '''Peach''', validating that her full name is Peach Toadstool. She has been called Peach in all games afterwards, except for [[Super Mario 64 DS]].

In [[Paper Mario]], the second Mario RPG, King Bowser once again kidnapped Peach, this time using his castle to carry her's away. He does this after imprisoning the [[Star Spirits|7 Star Spirits]] and stealing the [[Star Rod]].  Once again Mario rescues her, this time with the help of the 7 Star Spirits and party members [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Bombette]], [[Bow]], [[Parakarry]], [[Sushie]], [[Watt]] and [[Lakilester]].  Peach actually helped Mario save the Mushroom Kingdom. A star sprit named [[Twink]] came to help her, and together they found a secret passage out of her room. She sabotaged Bowser's plots by supplying Mario with a relatively constant stream of information, using Twink, a young Star Spirt, as her messenger.   

In [[Super Mario Sunshine]], Mario, Peach and [[Toadsworth]] go to Isle Delfino. However, [[Shadow Mario]] (who turns out to be [[Bowser Jr.]]) has filled the island with graffiti, and Mario is forced to clean it up with [[FLUDD]]. Eventually, Bowser Jr. kidnaps Peach and Mario must once again rescue the princess. Peach turns out to be Bowser Jr.'s mother, but then Bowser admits that it was a lie.  

In the final Mario RPG, [[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]], Peach is kidnapped again, but not by Bowser - she is kidnapped by [[Grodus]], the leader of the [[X-Nauts]] and taken to the [[X-Naut Moon Base]]. You can control Peach after each chapter, like in the original Paper Mario, and a computer named [[TEC]] falls in love with her and betrays Grodus to help Peach escape.  Grodus destroys TEC when he finds out, and takes her to the [[Palace of Shadow]], where the [[Shadow Queen]], the ancient 1000-year old demon, possesses Peach and fights Mario. However, she finds Peach's body too weak and returns to her true form (a purple shadow creature) for the final battle.
