Talk:Princess Peach

Would it be possible to expand the article, so that it goes more in depth on her relationship with Mario? I'd also like to see someone address similarities between Peach, Roselina and Paulina. FF3TerraAndLocke (talk) 06:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

:Unless it is sourced, it would be trivia. As for the similarities, I do not think it is neccessary. Androids101 | Visit me! | talk | contribs 07:21, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The article claims:

:"...her best friend and partner is Princess Daisy."

Should, perhaps, the term 'partner' be clarified? Or perhaps I missed one of the Mario games out there... -Grammaticus Repairo (talk) 18:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi.

Just wanted you to know that Peach owns 2 games :

"Super Princess Peach" in 2006, yes, but she also owns "[https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2011/11/portable-plumber-the-complete-history-of-mario-in-handheld-games/8 Princess Toadstool's Castle Run]", where she is the main character and the only playable character, so technically, this is her first game and the first time she was under the spotlights. The game was out in 90's on the Nelsonic and you can find the game on the Nelsonic page's games list (Wikipedia).

Nintendo reworked on all main characters's artworks. This one doesn't represent exactly her new appearance through all new games. Although she keeps the same colours for her outfits, hair and eyes, she doesn't have the same face and skin color.

It would be better to use the one from Super Mario Party, for instance, which is more detailed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustARandomBoy (talk • contribs) 23:30, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

“One of Peach's most common traits during her playable appearances is her ability to temporarily float in the air with her large skirt”.

Wrong. This ability is named “floating jump” through several games and she can use it without her dress, especially in Super Mario 3D World (2013), where she can use it while she’s wearing the cat costume thanks to the Super Bell. That shows she doesn’t need a skirt to perform it. A dress can’t allow you to float like this. It’s a magical ability. A “magical powers” section should be created. --CoconutMall9021033 (talk) 22:57, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I do not think the mention of an illegal sex game adds anything to the article. Porn is made of every character everywhere, so it goes without saying that it has been made of a very popular female video game character. We should remove the one sentence addition unless we want to go around to all of the Mario world characters (such as Mario and Bowser) and mention how they too have had sex games made of them.73.192.5.245 (talk) 19:46, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{Done}} While Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED, I've removed the mention on the basis that despite existing for eight years it took a DMCA notice by Nintendo for it to receive any coverage in RS - suggesting that the game wasn't all that notable to begin with, and thus would be undue to include.

Toadstool was the NA name before it was transitioned into Peach.

In Mario tennis, her name is Peach.

There is no NA specific name for Peach now. 108.16.204.24 (talk) 16:28, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

:This article should follow the convention of WP:COMMONNAME in a similar way to other characters with different names like Darth Vadar. She has been known as simply Princess Peach since Super Mario 64, which was the transition point between Toadstool and Peach in NA. Toadstool has been completely phased out - it's not mentioned by Nintendo on their official websites, nor in the gaming press, so the first sentence should name her as Princess Peach, followed by an explanation of her earlier name.

There is commentary for Peach in the film, but nothing about how she looks and the actual text on the image of her just states this an image to be used in the infobox. This fails the fair use for including the imagery of her in the article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
