Peach (ピーチ, Peach) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. She was confirmed on September 12, 2013, the day before the anniversary of Super Mario Bros., the landmark game in which she debuted. She is among the first wave of compatible amiibo figures. Peach is voiced by Samantha Kelly with the same voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Changes from Brawl

While her moveset appears to be relatively unchanged, Peach has been notably buffed overall from Super Smash Bros. Brawl to SSB4. Her ground game has been particularly improved thanks to her stronger smashes, faster Peach Bomber and tilt attacks leading to many follow ups. Futhermore, her dash attack, forward aerial and back throw received significant increases in knockback, filling out her lack of finishing moves, a prominent weakness she had in Brawl. Likewise, Peach's approaches from below are safer with the gain of a new up aerial.

Aesthetics

• Peach has a new running animation based on her running animation from Super Mario 3D World.
• Many new animations accompany Peach's established attacks in the form of hearts, rainbows and magic sparkles.
• The underside of Peach's dress is now darkened, obscuring her undergarments.

Attributes

• Double jump has greater vertical height.
• Peach is slightly lighter than she was in Melee and Brawl.

Ground attacks

• Jab has less range and deals less damage (5%, down from 6).
• Dash attack's second hit deals more damage (6%, up from 4%) and knockback, making it a reliable KO move. The first hit also no longer has knockback growth, so the hits always connect even at higher percentages.
• Forward tilt and down tilt are faster and deal increased hitstun, benefiting their combo potential.
• Forward tilt and down tilt deal less damage (7%, down from 10%) and knockback, reducing their KO potential. They also have less range.
• Up tilt's sweet spot has a much less favourable placement, covering a small part of Peach's body, as opposed to her blast in Brawl. Furthermore, the sour spot is weaker in both damage and knockback (being unable to KO until 200%).
• Forward smash has greater range and knockback. It also cycles regularly between a tennis racket, a golf club, and frying pan.
• Up smash's sweet spot has a much more favourable placement, covering a large portion of Peach's body, as opposed to her hand in Brawl. Furthermore, the sour spot is stronger in both damage and knockback (being able to KO around 100%).
• Down smash has a greater amount of possible hits (5, up from 4), deals more knockback (now being able to KO around 150% offstage), and gained the ability to trap opponents into it, allowing each further hit to connect more reliably.
• Down smash deals less damage (3-5% per hit, down from 5-7%).

Aerial attacks

• Forward aerial has more knockback and greater reach, allowing Peach to strike opponents farther forward as well as above and under her.
• Forward aerial and back aerial auto-cancels later.
• Back and down aerial deals less damage.
• Peach gained a new up aerial: an arm swipe that draws a rainbow. It consists of two hits dealing 4% and 6% respectively. It has greater reach, a disjointed hitbox, and better juggling abilities.
• Down aerial deals slightly more knockback and is much harder to SDI out of.

Throws/other attacks

• Back throw has received a significant increase in knockback, making it her strongest throw.
• Down throw deals slightly more damage (8%, up from 7%) and has good follow-up knockback.

Special moves

• Toad's spores is stronger at a close range. Toad also turns around when hit from behind.
• Peach Bomber is much faster and gained the ability to hit shields.
• Peach Bomber deals less damage (10%, down from 15%).
• Peach Parasol is faster, covers more vertical height, and has enough knockback to KO or stage spike at reasonable percentages.
• Vegetable takes longer to be plucked and can no longer able to spawn Beam Swords.
• Peach has increased chances of pulling out "Stitchface" turnips, Bob-ombs and Mr. Saturns.
• Peach Blossom is now capable of putting aerial opponents to sleep.
• Peach Blossom deals less damage (maximum of 30%, down from 40%), has much less range and puts opponents to sleep for less time.
• Peach Blossom spawns three large peaches that each heal 20% damage, as opposed to thirteen normal-sized peaches that each heal 5%.

Neutral special	Default	Toad	2% (hits 1-9)	Toad is equipped by Peach and used as an unwilling counter. In other words, he absorbs damage dealt to his princess before releasing it back.
	Custom 1	Sleepy Toad	0%	Sleepy Toad comes out faster and releases bubbles to inflict the sleep status ailment for a brief amount of time to grounded opponents. Airborne opponents will be pushed back. Sleep duration lasts longer at high percentages.
	Custom 2	Grumpy Toad	1% (hits 1-9)	Grumpy Toad, unlike regular Toad and Sleepy Toad, doesn't act like a counter. Instead, he automatically releases spores to deal minor damage to opponents.
Side special	Default	Peach Bomber	10%	Peach Bomber propels Peach forward to deliver a powerful hip bash.
	Custom 1	Flower Bomber	4%	Flower Bomber travels on a much shorter distance than regular Peach Bomber. Opponents hit by it will be inflicted the flower status ailment. It deals less base damage (4%, down from 10%).

	Custom 2	Light Parasol	3%	Light Parasol decreases Peach's initial jump. However, she gains additional vertical recovery every time she opens up her parasol. This lasts long enough to open it up to four times while airborn. After that duration, Peach will become helpless.
Down special	Default	Vegetable		Vegetable is a projectile Peach can pluck from the ground as she does in Super Mario Bros. 2. She can then throw it. Its face determines how much damage it will do. Along with turnips, Peach can pull out Mr. Saturns and Bob-ombs.
	Custom 1	Light Veggie		Light Veggie is plucked much faster (in a similar way to Brawl's Vegetable) while dealing less damage. It travels the air more slowly and farther ahead. It will also fly back toward Peach if it hits an opponent. The move will fail if there's already two Light Veggies out.
	Custom 2	Heavy Veggie		Heavy Veggie takes longer to be plucked. It flies faster, but may not be thrown as far. It deals considerably more damage and knockback.
Final Smash		Peach Blossom	0-30%	Peach spins around as two images of herself appear on either side of the screen and giant peaches fall from the sky. This FS causes her enemies to fall asleep.

Taunts

• Takes out and twirls her parasol. She says "sweet" as she does this.
• Dances in a taunting manner as little music notes flutter around her. She sings a little tune similar to "Ring Around the Rosie".
• Spins around once. She then winks and points with her index finger in a somewhat bent posture and says "Uh-huh!"

On-Screen Appearance

Appears spinning out of a shower of hearts, then winks and poses with her parasol saying "Hi!".

Victory Fanfare

A flourished remix directly from Brawl based on the sound clip that would play when Mario reaches the end of a level in Super Mario Bros. It is shared with Mario, Luigi, and Dr. Mario.

Trophies

Peach's regular trophy can be obtained by completing Classic Mode as her and her alternative trophy can be obtained by completing All-Star mode as her in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Peach

Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach continues to prove that "powerful" and "cute" are not mutually exclusive. In Smash Bros., Peach uses her dress to float above the fray, suddenly descending and attacking with numerous weapons. A frying pan? Umbrella? TOAD?! Where does she keep it all?

The Mushroom Kingdom's princess isn't just a pretty face - she's also strong and crafty. She can dodge attacks by gliding through the air, and she's hiding all sorts of stuff under that dress: a frying pan, a tennis, a golf club...even a Toad! If you're planning to take on Peach, just know that she's more than ready for you!

Peach (Alt.)

Peach may be a princess, but that doesn't mean she shies away from an honest day's work. Her down special Vegetable is basically farm labor, and the fruits...er, vegetables of her work can be thrown. An angry-looking vegetable will do extra damage, too! She can also pull up Bob-ombs, or even a Mr. Saturn!

Peach normally sticks to tasks befitting a royal, but her Vegetable special is pretty much farm labour! You can tell how much damage the veggies will do by looking a them. Happy/indifferent ones just do a bit, while the ones that just look sick of life do a lot. And the ones that look like Bob-ombs or Mr. Saturn aren't veggies at all!

Update history

1.0.2

Trivia

• In the 3DS version of the game, a bug existed wherein using Peach's Vegetable move in For Glory mode would rarely trigger an automatic ban for "dishonest play". It is unclear what the cause of the glitch was, but the main theories involve the player being flagged as having an illegitimate item. Nintendo acknowledged the glitch and released an update that fixed this issue.
