Princess Peach (Japanese: ピーチ姫, Hepburn: Pīchi-hime^?, [piː.tɕi̥ çi̥.me]) is a character in Nintendo's Mario franchise. Originally created by Shigeru Miyamoto, Peach is the princess of the fictional Mushroom Kingdom, which is constantly under attack by Bowser. She often plays the damsel in distress role within the series and is the lead female. She is often portrayed as Mario's love interest and has appeared in Super Princess Peach, where she is the main playable character.

Princess Peach's initial appearance was drawn by Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto later asked Yōichi Kotabe to redraw Peach with his instructions. He had asked Kotabe to draw her eyes to be "a little cat-like". With Kotabe's influence, Princess Peach changed considerably throughout her gaming system. Peach was not a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. Wii because a satisfactory mechanism to use her dress was not found, however, she is the main protagonist in Super Princess Peach and is a playable character in most Mario spin-offs such as Mario Party, Mario Kart, and also sports games.

Princess Peach has long, yellow hair (except for Super Mario Bros. 2 in which she has brown hair), blue eyes, tall frame, an hourglass figure, and a rosy complexion. She generally wears a pink evening gown. It has frilly trimmings, short puffy sleeves, and a pannier-style overskirt. Her accessories are red high heels that grow when they are seen, white evening gloves, a cyan brooch, cyan earrings, and a gold crown adorned with cyan jewels and red jewels. Peach also sometimes pulls her hair back into a ponytail considering its long length. It was first introduced in Super Mario Sunshine and would later be seen in the Mario Kart and Mario Sports games from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Kart: Double Dash!! respectively.
