Princess Peach Month Post #2 | Wednesday, 08.28.24

It's almost the end of August, which is known by Nintendo as "Princess Peach Month", so I'll post on a few random games featuring Peach, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom right now.

The very first Super Mario game with 3D graphics features Princess Peach once again as the damsel-in-distress in the game as Bowser captured and imprisoned her (ironically enough) inside her very own castle. Once the players acquired all 120 Power Stars and defeated Bowser twice, the game ends with Peach making a cake for Mario as a way of thanking him for saving her and the Mushroom Kingdom once again.

Sporting a more updated look while the Nintendo 64-era was intending to end shortly after the Nintendo GameCube launched around the 2001 holiday season (or around Spring 2002 in the PAL regions), Princess Peach finds herself, Mario, and Toadsworth on a vacation to Isle Defino, only for Mario not only framed for a series of crimes and vandalisms he hasn't fully committed, but Peach finds herself kidnapped by Bowser's mischievous son, Bowser Jr. (he framed Mario prior by impersonating him as "Shadow Mario") under a false pretense of Mario being her kidnapper. Fortunately, with the help of new ally, F.L.U.D.D., Mario defeats both Bowser and Bowser Jr. and rescues Princess Peach once again as the game ends with them and Toadsworth resuming their vacation, especially after Mario's name got cleared all of accusations and charges.

As her first starring role in a video game (not counting the LCD game, Princess Toadstool's Castle Run), Princess Peach must traverse across 72 stages across 9 worlds (with each world having 8 stages apiece) using her emotion-like abilities (Angry, Calm, Gloom, and Joy) in her quest to rescue both Mario and Luigi from Bowser. It would be Peach's only starring role in a video game until the 2024 release of Princess Peach: Showtime! on Nintendo Switch.

Stay tuned for part 3!
