49 free Princess Peach trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Princess Peach has appeared in more video games than any other female character, and for most of them she has been waiting in a castle. But the details around that running joke are rich: she was Princess Toadstool in the West for over a decade, she got her float jump from a Japanese game that had nothing to do with Mario, and she has carried a frying pan, a parasol, a talking umbrella and, in one Ubisoft crossover, a shotgun. These 49 questions cover her whole history. The easy tier covers the kingdom, the Toads, Bowser, the pink dress and her 2023 film voice. The middle asks about Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 64's cake, Sunshine's Bowser Jr. mix-up, Smash Bros. turnips, Super Princess Peach's emotion powers and the Odyssey scene where she turns down both suitors. The hard end goes to Yoshi's Safari, the Nelsonic Game Watch, the rejected Walupeach, the Ocarina of Time painting, the Guinness-record amiibo and why Miyamoto said her skirt kept her out of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Every answer is cited to a page we checked and comes with a short explanation. Play it solo or print it for a Nintendo night.

Q 01In Super Mario Sunshine, which young villain kidnaps Peach after being told she is his mother?
Bowser Jr.
Bowser Jr. His father had spun him the story, casting Mario as the kidnapper, and when Bowser finally owns up at the end, Junior says he had already worked it out.
Q 02Which character debuted in Super Mario Sunshine as Princess Peach's fretful old steward?
Toadsworth
Toadsworth. He fusses over her like a grandfather for good reason: he has looked after her since she was a baby, and a younger version of him minds the infant princess in Partners in Time.
Q 03Who voices Peach in the 2023 animated Mario movie?
Anya Taylor-Joy
Anya Taylor-Joy. She argued that a capable Peach was how the role should always have been played, since a ruler who keeps getting kidnapped is not doing a very good job of leading.
Q 04Which character was Mario's love interest before Peach, in 1981's Donkey Kong?
Pauline
Pauline. The game began life as a Popeye project with Olive Oyl as the damsel, and when that plan fell through Miyamoto drew a heroine of his own, known at first simply as Lady.
Q 05Which power-up, smuggled to her inside a bouquet, does Peach turn on Bowser in the 2023 animated Mario movie?
Ice Flower
Ice Flower. Toad hides it among the flowers she is carrying, and she uses it to freeze both Bowser and the chain lowering his prisoners towards the lava.
Q 06Which side-scrolling Mario game made Peach and Daisy both playable from the outset?
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Super Mario Bros. Wonder. She handles exactly like Mario in it, because the designers moved the old character-only abilities into badges so players could pick a favourite character and a favourite skill separately.
Q 07Why did Miyamoto say Peach's name came to him?
He associated girls with pink
He associated girls with pink. Asked decades later, he had to think hard before guessing that a princess meant a girl and a girl meant pink, and the Japanese word for pink, momoiro, literally means peach-coloured.
Q 08What unique ability did Peach have as a playable character in Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988)?
Floating over obstacles
Floating over obstacles. The hover let her drift across gaps or rescue a bad jump, at the cost of being the slowest and weakest of the four, and it became her signature move in later games.
Q 09Super Mario Bros. 2 was adapted from which Japanese game, where Peach's slot belonged to Lina?
Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic
Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic. Nintendo reskinned the Fuji TV tie-in with Mario characters because the real Japanese sequel was judged too similar to the first game and too hard for players overseas.
Q 10What does Peach say she has baked for Mario in the letter that opens Super Mario 64?
A cake
A cake. He arrives to find her sealed inside the castle walls, so the treat has to wait until the very end, when the freed princess kisses him and tells everyone to bake one for him.
Q 11Where does Super Mario Sunshine's holiday with Peach and the Toads take place?
Isle Delfino
Isle Delfino. The dolphin-shaped resort is no holiday for Mario: a paint-flinging lookalike gets him arrested on arrival, and the court orders him to scrub the whole island clean.
Q 12Why did Miyamoto say Peach sat out the Wii's four-player New Super Mario Bros.?
Her skirt would need special programming
Her skirt would need special programming. Miyamoto said he would have liked her in, but the two Toads were built more like Mario, and he laughed that the dress was really the only reason.
Q 13Which 2013 Wii U game made Peach playable in the mainline series for the first time in 25 years?
Q 21In Princess Peach: Showtime!, which venue must she save?
Sparkle Theatre
Sparkle Theatre. Peach only came to watch a show: the place is seized just as she arrives, she loses her crown in the commotion, and the theatre's guardian recruits her to win it back.
Q 22Who is the antagonist of Princess Peach: Showtime!?
Grape
It was the first game to star Peach since Super Princess Peach, nearly two decades earlier.
Q 23Before Princess Peach: Showtime! launched, Nintendo changed what on its box art?
Her expression
Her expression. The gleeful smile gave way to a fiercer, more determined look, closer to her film self, and one site headlined the news 'Peach chooses violence'.
Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario 3D World. She was not in the original plan: producer Yoshiaki Koizumi asked for her, saying Mario games had spent years full of male characters and needed a woman players could pick.
Q 14How does Peach become playable in Super Mario Run (2016)?
By completing World Tour mode
By completing World Tour mode. The story has Bowser carry her off yet again, so she joins the roster only once Mario has rescued her from the final castle.
Q 15What does Bowser want to do with Peach in Super Mario Odyssey?
Marry her
Marry her. He books the Moon for the ceremony and hires wedding planners to loot each kingdom for the trimmings, from a ring and a dress to the bouquet.
Q 16At the end of Super Mario Odyssey, Mario and Bowser both thrust flowers at Peach; how does she respond?
She turns them both down
She turns them both down. Fed up with their squabbling, she walks off to the airship without either of them, and after the credits she tours the kingdoms on her own terms.
Q 17In Super Mario Galaxy, Bowser uproots Peach's whole castle and carries it where?
The centre of the universe
The centre of the universe. He 'invites' her to watch him build a galaxy of his own there, and a flying saucer slices the castle out of the ground during the Star Festival.
Q 18What is the name of Peach's talking umbrella in Super Princess Peach?
Perry
Perry. His dreams between boss fights reveal that he was once a boy with strange powers, turned into a parasol by a pair of magicians and later sold on by a travelling merchant.
Q 19Which emotion power restores Peach's health in Super Princess Peach?
Calm
Calm. A magic sceptre has thrown everyone else's feelings into disarray, Bowser's own army included, but it never struck Peach directly, so she can switch her four moods on at will.
Q 20Where is Super Princess Peach set?
Vibe Island
Vibe Island. Bowser built a summer getaway there after hearing it hid a legendary sceptre that controls emotions, and once he had it he locked Mario and his friends away across the island.
Q 24Which of these is one of Peach's stage transformations in Princess Peach: Showtime!?
Swordfighter Peach
Swordfighter Peach. The show's real stars have been captured, so she steps into each play's lead herself, also turning cowgirl, ninja, detective and pastry chef along the way.
Q 25What does Peach throw at opponents in Super Smash Bros.?
Turnips
Turnips. She plucks them from the ground as she did in Super Mario Bros. 2, and each one's face sets its power: the rare stitch-faced turnip hits far harder than the usual smiling kind.
Q 26What is Peach's Final Smash called in Super Smash Bros.?
Peach Blossom
Peach Blossom. She dances in a spotlight while everyone nearby nods off, then either lands free hits on the sleepers or eats the healing peaches that drop around her.
Q 27Which Smash Bros. game marked Peach's debut as a fighter?
Melee
Melee. She was a newcomer playable from the start, and she brought a famously ungallant counter-move with her: holding up her loyal Toad as a shield to take the hit.
Q 28Which two household items can Peach wield as weapons in Super Mario RPG?
A frying pan and a parasol
A frying pan and a parasol. The pan stuck with her: in Super Smash Bros. one of her smash attacks swings a frying pan, a tennis racket or a golf club.
Q 29The 2023 Switch remake of Super Mario RPG calls her Peach; what was she called in the 1996 original?
Princess Toadstool
Princess Toadstool. It was her only English name until 1993, when Yoshi's Safari let her Japanese name slip through for the first time, and a letter in Super Mario 64 then signed off with both.
Q 30The Mario Tennis studio that pitched an evil twin for Peach also invented which villain?
Waluigi
Waluigi. His creators proposed a wicked counterpart for Peach too, but Miyamoto turned the idea down without looking at a design, reportedly assuming she would just resemble an anime villainess.
