Super Princess Peach (スーパープリンセスピーチ Sūpā Purinsesu Pīchi?) is a platform video game published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld game console. It was released in Japan in October 2005, the United States in February 2006, Australia in March 2006, and Europe in May 2006.
It is the first game to feature Princess Peach as the main playable character. In the game, Bowser has kidnapped Mario, Luigi, and Toad instead of Peach and holds them hostage on Vibe Island, but Toad escapes from Vibe Island to the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach must go through eight worlds on Vibe Island to rescue Mario and Luigi.
Despite being praised for its role reversal in the plot, the game was criticized for the nature of how Peach attacked, as well as the simple gameplay. It sold 1.15 million units worldwide.
The game opens with Bowser at a summer villa in Vibe Island, a land that isn't far from the Mushroom Kingdom. When Bowser finds the Vibe Scepter, an object that affects everybody's emotions, rendering them happy, sad, angry, and calm, he sends a Goomba and an army of Hammer Bros. to Princess Peach's castle to capture Mario and Luigi. With all of the Toad servants influenced by the scepter, the Hammer Bros. successfully capture Mario, Luigi, and Toad, but Toad escapes and retreats to the Mushroom Kingdom. Meanwhile, Princess Peach and Toadsworth return to her castle only to discover a note from Bowser saying that he captured Mario and Luigi. Enraged, Peach leaves her castle to rescue Mario and Luigi. Before doing so, Toadsworth, who's reluctant to let Peach go, hands her a talking parasol named Perry.
