===Walpeach===
===Wapeach===
After the idea of a Walpeach was [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)#Pre-release and unused content|discarded]] for ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', the concept was revisited by Fumihide Aoki for this game. Some concept art, where she is labeled as both「ワルピーチ」(''Warupīchi'') (Walpeach) and「プリーチ」(''Purīchi'') (Preach or Priech), and a model were made depicting a young Peach-like character wearing a purple outfit (that would have been recolored had the character been accepted) with a pointy crown, but the idea was ultimately rejected once again as there were no characters to pair with her. Fumihide also stated that she was designed with the intention of "defying everyone's expectations in a good way," mentioning she would have a cute but scary personality when angry, see Peach as her rival, and be the descendant of a fallen royal family. She would act as a boss to Wario and Waluigi, as a tribute to the Dorombo gang from {{wp|Yatterman}}, and according to Fumihide Aoki, she would have most likely taken [[Bowser]]'s role in the game's animated intro if she was approved. Additionally, like Wario's association with garlic, she would have been associated with cherry tomatoes. He also stated that he had an idea for a Yoshi-based sidekick for her resembling a dragon with horns and wings.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GenesisJam_/status/1730803149915472217 Screenshots taken from the now deleted Instagram post from Yuzumpo].
