Friends/Allies[]
Mario[]
- "Thank you, Mario! Your quest is over. We present you a new quest. Push button B to select a world."
- —Peach to Mario, Super Mario Bros.
Princess Peach and Mario have had a long, positive relationship. During the events of first Peach's kidnapping in Super Mario Bros., Mario rescued her from Bowser's clutches. Mario has risked his life to save Peach from Bowser since. They worry over each other when they are apart, and have been shown to have mutual romantic feelings for each other. Despite the fact that Peach can become somewhat annoyed with Mario at times (the ending to Super Mario Odyssey, where she demands that Mario and Bowser stop fighting over her hand in marriage, being an example of this), it is very rare, and she forgives Mario afterwards.
In many games, Peach helps Mario when she is around with him. In Super Mario Galaxy, Peach, despite being kidnapped, manages to help Mario by giving him 5 1-Up Mushrooms in the envelope given by the Mailtoad.
Toadette[]
Perry[]
Princess Peach was determined to rescue Mario from Bowser's clutches. Toadsworth introduced Perry to Peach telling her that it was not an ordinary umbrella, Perry was pleased when he met Peach. He also told Peach his knowledge about Vibe Island and helped her in her adventure. After some of Perry's dreams of his past, he tells Peach what he was feeling and thinking. It even turned out that they also did not like Bowser. Upon Bowser's defeat, Peach and Perry rescued Mario.
Princess Daisy[]
Princess Peach and Daisy are close friends. They have interacted each other since Mario Tennis. The Mario Power Tennis website refers Daisy as Peach's sister-in-arms. Princess Peach missed female companionship the Mushroom Kingdom until Daisy resided that place;[1] this may consider close friendship.
Sometimes, there are conflicts that happen in spin-offs, such as either of them winning over another one. In Fortune Street, Peach told Daisy that she was "shocked that [she] would run off to win".
Rosalina[]
Peach and Rosalina's relationship is unknown. Rosalina learned Bowser kidnapped Peach and Mario is willing to rescue her. She promised to help him if he can gather the Power Stars and Grand Stars. In Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Peach with the rest of Mario & Company freed Rosalina form the corruption of Cursa from controlling the galaxy.
Princess Zelda (Twilight Princess incarnation)[]
Peach and Zelda are in good terms. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Peach and Zelda watched a friendly match between Mario and Kirby. However, a Subspace Bomb interrupts the match, launching Mario away. Petey Piranha captures Peach and Zelda, forcing Kirby to save either one of the princesses. When Zelda and Peach reunited, they stay together until the end of the story. When Fox McCloud accidentally make something close to Peach blow up, Zelda (Who was in the form of Sheik) immediately fights Fox to protect her friend. Peach however stops the fight by offering tea, since she knows it was an accident and Fox isn’t evil. When Duon forms in front of the group, Sheik and Fox immediately prepare themselves to fight to protect the young princess.
Paper Princess Peach[]
Rabbid Peach[]
Tiara[]
Princess Peach and Tiara are good friends in Odyssey. Mario and Cappy's partnership is complementary to their relationship. They were both kidnapped by Bowser to attend the wedding, with Peach as the bride and Tiara to be part of her wedding accessory. Neither one was willing to go through Bowser's wedding.[2] Ultimately, Mario and Cappy defeat Bowser and rescue Peach and Tiara before they can go through with the wedding and once they return to the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach and Tiara decide to travel the world on their own terms. When they interact with Mario, they give a Power Moon they found.
Neutral[]
Lock[]
- "Uh, thanks for the info... If I don't come back, will you perhaps try to save me? You know... Like a certain mustachioed man used to do?"
- —Peach to Lock, Gloam Valley, Super Paper Mario
Lock and Princess Peach had interacted each other in Super Paper Mario. Lock disliked men with mustaches and without them but easily falls in love with girls. However, Peach was confused and turned him down. This resulted in Lock to consider that girls like boys that are heroes.
Pauline[]
Although Peach and Pauline never communicate, they share similar characteristics. Princess Peach had replaced Pauline, the original damsel-in-distress. Pauline changed her hair color to be more different from Peach.[3] Pauline and Peach were not interested to attend Bowser's wedding as seen in Super Mario Odyssey.
Enemies/Rivals[]
Bowser[]
- "I’ve never despised you more than I do right now, Bowser. Hmph!"
- —Peach to Bowser, Fortune Street
Princess Peach hates Bowser, as Bowser repeatedly kidnaps Peach and attacks her kingdom. In Super Mario Bros., Bowser attacks the Mushroom Kingdom in the hopes in conquering it himself, and captures Peach as she is the only one capable of reversing the damage caused by him. In the end, Mario defeats Bowser and rescues Peach. This culminates in many more kidnapping attempts by Bowser, and Mario ultimately defeats the Koopa king and rescues Peach. In later games, Bowser is revealed to have romantic feelings for Peach, and his motives shift to winning her hand in marriage. In Paper Mario, Peach even discovers Bowser's feelings in his diary.[4] In Peach's case, she does not feel the same way, refusing to marry him in Super Paper Mario[5] and Super Mario Odyssey.[2] Nevertheless, Mario successfully rescues Peach from Bowser every time he kidnaps her.
Despite her frequent kidnappings, Peach is not afraid to stand up to Bowser in certain instances. There were rare occasions where Peach was not the kidnapped victim. In Super Princess Peach, she was absent in her castle and Bowser ordered the army to kidnap Mario, Luigi and the Toads. Peach and her parasol Perry travel to Vibe Island to rescue Mario from Bowser's clutches. In Super Mario 3D World, Bowser had no plan on kidnapping Peach but the Sprixie Princesses. Regardless, she and her allies saved the princesses from Bowser.
In Mario Party series, like every other character, Bowser can choose to sabotage Peach on boards whenever she lands on the Bowser Space and depending where her "prize" lands.
Peach is willing to cooperate with Bowser against more dire circ*mstances. In Super Paper Mario, Peach begs Bowser's help to save the worlds; Mario let Bowser know if he refused to help, there will be no kingdom for him to rule and Peach brought up his brainwashed minions to encourage his idea to help. In Mario spin-offs, Peach and Bowser have equal roles being as playable characters. In Super Mario Party, if Bowser gets Peach as his ally on boards, she says that she will help Bowser.
Wendy O. Koopa[]
Cackletta[]
Princess Peach and Cackletta do not get along. Cackletta and Fawful plotted to steal Princess Peach's voice. Before it happened, Prince Peasley warned her about their plot. Peach replaced herself with Birdo before Cackletta and Fawful arrived at the Beanbean Kingdom. While Cackletta and Fawful stole Birdo's voice unaware of Peach's plan, Peach and Toadsworth were hiding behind the curtains.
Peach was about to tell Mario and Luigi that she was alright, but Bowser came earlier. Meanwhile, Peach arrived at the Beanbean Airport to tell Mario and Luigi about Cackletta's plot that Peach managed to get away with it.
Cackletta took the form from Bowser into Bowletta and kidnapped Peach, part of the plan to awaken the Beanstar. Cackletta told the Beanbean Kingdom to give the Beanstar oud they want Peach to return safely. Later, Cackletta got the Beanstar and Peach hoping to awaken it. Peach was free from Cackletta's clutches along with the Beanstar with the help of Mario and Luigi.
Princess Shroob[]
Princess Shroob and Princess Peach are enemies. Princess Shroob along with her Princess Peach was travelling in the past while Princess Shroob invaded Mushroom Kingdom due to her withering home world. They both encountered each other as Princess Peach trapped Princess Shroob's sister in the Cobalt Star before she captured her. Peach shattered the Cobalt Star with no other way returning Elder Princess Shroob nor to the future. Meanwhile, she managed to invade and capture Peach.
Princess Shroob disguised as Peach to trick Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi into thinking she is the real princess.
