====Name====
In Japan, her name has always been Princess Peach (ピーチ姫 ''Pīchi-hime''), but in the West, she was originally known as "Princess Toadstool", due to [[Nintendo of America]] renaming her when localizing ''Super Mario Bros.'', feeling that "Peach" was irrelevant to the theme of the Mushroom Kingdom.<ref> Gaming Historian (September 30, 2021). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTyxQfpOEbE&t=482s]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 12, 2022.</ref> In 1993, the English version of ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' marked the first time that the name "Princess Peach" was used outside of Japan, but the name did not catch on for western players until it was used again in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Games as of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' use Peach as her prominent name. Certain contemporary sources reconcile the two names by listing her full name as "Peach Toadstool", including subsequent re-releases of ''Super Mario 64'', such as the international, Shindō Pak Taiō Version and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', which had the princess signing her letter using both "Toadstool" and "Peach".
Her name when translated into Japanese is normally ピーチ姫 (''Pīchi-hime''). However, the other translation as プリンセスピーチ (''Purinsesu Pīchi'') only officially exists in the Japanese title of the game ''Super Princess Peach'' as well as in the Japanese name of [[The Princess Peach]] from ''Paper Mario: The Origami King''.
