Peach appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' (''The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach'') as the damsel-in-distress. The story begins with Mario playing a video-game. After the power for the TV cuts out, Peach jumps from the screen with enemies chasing her. She explains that she is a princess from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and asks for his help. Mario instantly becomes lovestruck, but Bowser appears and kidnaps Peach. Mario and his brother Luigi then set out to save her. A wise sage later reveals that Bowser is madly in love with Peach and wants to force her to marry him. This only hastens Mario and Luigi's journey.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Toadstool was one of Mario's party members, along with [[Mallow]], [[Geno]] and Bowser. At the beginning of the game, Bowser kidnapped her with his Koopa Clown Car, while she was sitting outside of [[Mario's House|Mario's Pad]]. Mario came to her aid, and defeated Bowser after a battle. [[Exor]] crashed into [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], and sent the three flying in different directions. Toadstool landed in the [[Booster Tower|tower of Booster]]. [[Booster]] fell in love with her, and planned to force her to marry him, despite her cries of, "MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME! MARIO, HELP ME!". After Mario had charged Booster Tower and defeated [[Knife Guy]] and [[Grate Guy]], Booster grabbed Toadstool and ran away with her up [[Booster Hill]]. He reached [[Marrymore]], where he wanted to marry Toadstool as soon as possible. Mario managed to stop the wedding, and took Toadstool back to the Mushroom Kingdom. She was put under the eyes of the Chancellor, who, desperate for the princess's safety, would not have wanted her to follow Mario on his quest against [[Smithy]]. However, Toadstool escaped from the castle with the help of her "[[Grandma]]", who dressed herself up as the princess, and joined Mario's party to help them defeat Smithy. At the end of the game, Toadstool and Mario returned to [[Mushroom Kingdom]] together.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', King Bowser once again kidnaps Peach, this time using his castle to carry her away. While being held captive in her own room in the castle, a [[Star (species)|Star Kid]] named [[Twink]] come to help her, and together they find a secret passage out of her room. Peach sabotages Bowser's plots by supplying Mario with a relatively constant stream of information, using Twink as her messenger. She also uses a special treasure chest, where she could store items, and Mario could fetch them at the chest's counterpart at [[Shooting Star Summit]]. Peach then bakes a cake for [[Gourmet Guy]], and also participate in the [[64th Trivia Quiz-off]] run by Bowser's minions. Peach wins a [[Sneaky Parasol]], which allows her to disguise herself as one of Bowser's guards. She could use the parasol to become a [[Koopatrol]], a [[Clubba]] and a [[Hammer Bro.]] However, her disguise is lifted by [[Kammy Koopa]] as Kammy recognizes Peach.

 

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

[[File:PaperPeach.jpg|90px|left|thumb|Solo art of Peach for ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]

Before the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Peach goes on a trip to [[Rogueport]]. On the market, she meets an old saleswoman, presumably one of the [[Shadow Sirens]]. They decide that Peach would be the best body for their bodiless [[Shadow Queen]], who was locked up behind the [[Thousand-Year Door]] for exactly one thousand years by the time of the game. They give Peach the [[Magical Map]], as she had a pure heart, which was needed to be able to open the chest of the map. The Shadow Sirens then tricked the alien [[Sir Grodus]] into capturing Peach and animating the Shadow Queen with her body. Before this happened, however, Peach had already sent the Magical Map to Mario, inviting him on a treasure hunt.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====

For the ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments, Peach made her debut appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (as one of the starting participants). In this installment, she can float in mid-air and pull [[vegetable]]s out of the ground as in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. She has a great recovery capacity but is easy to send flying. In spite of this she is a fairly easy character to use. Her Down Smash and Up Smash are quick and have several powerful, high priority hits. Peach is one of the best edge guarders in the series. Her Neutral A slap is good for disrupting combos and grabs, as well as starting combos herself. Peach's Forward Aerial Crown Slap is a great horizontal killer. She can also use an umbrella which can be used to float to the ground and whack people with. In Adventure Mode, she is fought at the end of the first stage. The player will have to fight her and Mario or Luigi. [[Princess Peach's Castle]] is also a course in the game. The detail in Peach's appearance is also greatly increased with a much more realistic look as compared to general Mario game series' installments.

 

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====

[[File:Peach SSBB.png|frame|left]]

Peach's return appearance for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' had her heavily redesigned, based on her more recent appearances. She keeps her moveset from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as well as stay as a light character with the ability to float. Peach's new design in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is by far the most detailed look for Peach since her previous appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. There are several changes about her in Brawl. Her Peach Bomber can cover more distance and it releases a cloud of hearts. Also her Parasol and Toad can KO now. Peach's [[Final Smash]] is called '''Peach Blossom''', and matches Peach's peaceful personality. It, by default inflicts 40% damage to all foes and causes them to fall asleep. Peach has several trophies in her honor. One is of her Brawl appearance and Final Smash. Also she has two of her ''Paper Mario'' appearances and her as Baby Peach. Her stickers are based on game artworks for ''Super Princess Peach'', ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', ''Mario Strikers Charged'', and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

However, she is soon captured by [[Petey Piranha]] and put into a cage along with Zelda. Kirby, who battles Petey Piranha, has the choice to rescue either Peach or Zelda. If she is not rescued, [[Wario]] appears and uses a [[Dark Cannon]] to transform her into a trophy and runs off with her. Peach is later rescued by [[King Dedede]] along with [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]]. But his castle is raided by [[Bowser]] and his forces, who takes her with him.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story''====

In the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|third installment]] of the ''Mario & Luigi'' series, the Mushroom Kingdom's citizens fall victim to a mysterious disease known as the [[Blorbs]]. Upon hearing this news, Peach proceeds to hold a very important meeting in her castle to discuss the matter at hand (along with [[Starlow]], who explains further about the disease itself). Unfortunately, as Peach was proceeding to give said details, Bowser crashes the meeting... twice. Upon being knocked out by Mario, he was ejected by Peach (with the help of Starlow) the first time. But Bowser managed to return to the castle the second time, but under the control of Fawful, via eating a Vacuum Shroom. As a result, Bowser inhales everyone at the meeting, including Peach.

After arriving at [[Pi'illo Castle]] and watching a brief presentation on the history of the island, Peach begins searching the presentation room at the mention of Pi'illo Castle's hidden treasure. After being implored to stop being so reckless by Toadsworth when she steps on the nearby platform, they both accidentally cause it to blast deeper into the castle.
