Line 223:
Tropes associated with Peach:
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: [[Word of God]] [http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2009/06/super-mario-galaxy-2/ says it's cake].
* [[Action Girl]]: In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''
** She's no slouch in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', or the ''Paper Mario'' games either. One wonders why she's so easy to kidnap when she can fend for herself so formidably. [[Distress Ball]], perhaps?
** In a Nintendo Power comic run in the days of the Super NES, until Bowser brainwashed her Peach was pretty much the hero of the story. While the Mario Brothers were characterized as happy-go-lucky bumblers, Peach was a [[Badass Damsel]]. She charged down a warp pipe after Bowser when he attacked her kingdom, and once she got captured the first time she rescued ''herself' from the Koopalings by flying out of their tower on a cape, then broke back in with Luigi and Yoshi to rescue Mario when he got kidnapped.
* [[Ambiguously Human]]: Her race is frequently debated. As far as we know, she's a native of the Mushroom Kingdom, but in ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'', she has a "grandma" that's a Toad.
* [[Baby Got Back]]: Emphasized more in the sports games and especially ''Smash Bros'', in the former she either flaunts her buttocks in thongs or short shorts where in the latter she can use her ass as a means of attacking.
* [[Badass Princess]]: Can be this at times.
** [[Badass in Distress]]: Yet she can also be this.
** [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: In the ''Strikers'' games, where she wears a belly shirt in her soccer outfit.
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: In the RPG's.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Peach is the blonde, Pauline is the brunette, and Daisy is the redhead.
** Funnily enough, Peach herself has been all three over the years due to the limited color pallete on the NES.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Borrowed Catchphrase]]: In ''Mario Golf'' for the N64, whenever she makes a bad shot she says, "Mama mia!"
Line 238 ⟶ 240:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: She shows this [[Depending on the Writer|at times]], most especially during [[Super Smash Bros.|The Subspace Emissary]].
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The entire point of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Is shown to be this in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: All too often, except for ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where she is the main character, while Mario gets to be in [[James Bondage]]. Frequently lampshaded in the [[RPG|RPGs]].
* [[The Ditz]]: Was originally a more generic princess but became this is later games.
Line 246 ⟶ 248:
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: In the racing and sports games.
** Inversely, she's a [[Mighty Glacier]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''Super Mario 3D World'', being the slowest of the four characters (it must be hard to run fast in a [[Pimped-Out Dress]]).
* [[Girly Run]]: In SSBB.
* [[Heart Beat-Down]]: Tends to be associated with attacks that involve hearts in the sports games and ''Smash Bros''.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Hundred-Percent Adoration Rating]]: She's loved so dearly by her subjects that it's not uncommon for them to have sets of Princess Peach merchandise in their homes.
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: To Mario and
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Constantly described as this.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Her ability to govern, as noted in the tropes below. May have something to do with [[Conservation of Detail]], since she gets kidnapped often and [[Rule of Fun|talking is boring]].
* [[The Messiah]]: Shown this way especially in the RPGs, where she shows no ill will to anyone, even villains.
* [Ms. Fanservice]]: In the spinoff games she tends to wear outfits that put her in this territory, especially in the ''Strikers'' games.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: In "[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl"
* [[Opera Gloves]]: With the exception of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and the sports games.
Line 261 ⟶ 264:
* [[Parasol of Prettiness]]
* [[Parasol Parachute]]
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Moreso in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Melee''
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: We've seen her do exactly two actual acts of government in the past 25 years. Though there are plenty of meetings shown in the RPGs, they either get interrupted or were trivial to begin with.
** Funnily enough, Mario&Luigi reveals a bit of the economic state of the Mushroom Kingdom... which is not good. Specifically their coins are rather low value per coins compared to the Bean Bean Kingdom's. Then again, this is a country where they have a [[Mario Tennis|university specifically for Tennis]], [[Mario Kart|go-kart races in the streets]], and get invaded and ransacked twice a month.
Line 275 ⟶ 278:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly girl to Daisy's tomboy.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: She is associated with cakes.
