Overview

Peach's down aerial is called the Rainbow Bridge. She swipes above her head with her arms from left to right, creating two magic rainbow trails. A decent juggling tool, especially given the move's disjoint and power. Down aerial can function as a safe shield pressuring tool while stalling in the air, a combo starter and an edgeguarding tool.

As a shield pressuring tool, if Peach is above the opponent, she can pressure their shield with a down aerial and retreat away from the opponent. Peach can also go aggressive on the opponent following up with a forward aerial as she drops to the ground or a fast fall neutral aerial. However doing this often may result the opponent to perform a hit that does not get interrupted by Peach's down aerial.

Down aerial can function as a combo starter while floating in the air. This can be followed up with a fast fall up aerial to a down tilt. It can also follow-up with another down aerial. After performing two down aerials, Peach can do a midair jump down aerial to a Peach Bomber. If Peach is performing two down aerials with a Bob-omb, she can throw it at the opponent; this combo kills at 0%. Another option after performing two down aerials.

The first hit can also be used to drag down aerial opponents, particularly after a down aerial done from a float at short hop height at lower percents. When low floating, only the second hit will hit medium to large opponents, while small characters avoid it entirely.
