Peach's Parasol
Template:Item-infobox Template:Articleabout Peach's Parasol is Princess Peach's trusty Parasol, which she usually used to defend herself and glide in the air. It replaces her floating dress ability from Super Mario Bros. 2. Peach has been using this parasol ever since she was a baby.
It first appeared in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars where it was weapon of Peach's (then called Toadstool). She also uses it to sneak out of Mushroom Castle. It also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee where it was a special move of hers. She can glide in the air with it and hit opponents. It also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl with the same function. Princess Peach also uses this parasol in Super Mario Sunshine to protect her from the dangerous heat and she is also seen floating down with it in the ending.
In Super Princess Peach, her parasol actually has a mind of its own. It is implied in-game that this parasol was once a human being until two sorcerer's magic transformed him. She can whack enemies with it and float with it. The parasol can even "eat" enemies to earn Vibe Crystals. In Super Paper Mario, it has a similar function as in Super Princess Peach, except it can no longer eat or directly attack enemies, but the floating and defensive properties are reused. In Yoshi's Island DS, it is Baby Peach's special move. Yoshi can improve his flutter jump with it, and makes it easy to ride winds. It also can appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, if the player attempts to shoot Star Bits at or jump on the princess, she will use her parasol to guard. It makes a small cameo in Super Mario 3D Land where she is whacking Goombas with in a manner similar to Super Princess Peach as shown in a letter sent to Mario after conquering World 6.
Called the Peach Parasol, in Mario Kart 7, it is one of the available gliders.
