Princess Peach

Good News Everyone!

Playable Princess Peach Pleases Players

by Brooke Jaffe | 4:16 pm, June 12th, 2013

Good news, everyone!* Princess Peach is playable in the new Super Mario, Super Mario 3D World, coming out for the Wii U.

Aside from the introduction of the new cat-suit powerup, this game is also exciting because it is the first time Peach has been a playable character in a main-series Mario game (ie, the platformer staples that have been the core of the Mario series since the series began) since 1988 in Super Mario Bros. 2. She has appeared as a playable character in many Mario titles since then, but none within the primary line of platformers.

Princess Peach Does Some Rescuing Of Her Own

Available as a shirt here, if you’re so inclined.

When Princess Peach Decided to Institute Humanitarian Reforms, The Musical

by Susana Polo | 10:16 am, May 4th, 2012

It’s good to see Peach taking an involved role in the politics of the Mushroom Kingdom, but it’s clear that we can’t all solve Chinese diplomatic crises and demand that Jason Seigel put you in a Muppet movie at the same time. But no worries, this is a Mario game: she can always try again with another life.

I See What They Did There

The Super Mario Bros. Parody of “Video Games” We’ve Been Waiting to Happen Is Here! [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 11:29 am, February 26th, 2012

Surely Lana Del Rey should have seen this coming: parodies of her song “Video Games” that involve people singing about video games. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! And Jenny Bede has imagined this super sullen tale about how Princess Peach married the wrong Mario Brother (both of whom are played by Brendan Murphy) and is so sad that she just plays video games to get through life. That Peach is soooo meta.
