Princess Peach (SSBB)


 * ''This article is about Peach's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Princess Peach.

Princess Peach (, Pīchi) has been confirmed to reappear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Originally shown in the Subspace Emissary trailer, she was later confirmed as a playable character on August 17. Her play style appears to be relatively unchanged, as she still possesses her floating ability, as well as her four distinct Special Moves. She has, however, been updated graphically to appear more realistic. Much to the dismay of Peach players, it appears as though her Down Smash has been powered down, and her Dash A now consists of two attacks.

Her Final Smash was recently shown in one of many videos of hands-on gameplay. Two drawings of Peach flank the window, and hearts frame the view. Peach blows numerous kisses, damaging all enemies and putting them to sleep. A plethora of health-restoring peaches drop from the sky; with her opponents subdued, Peach thus has the ability to restore health at her leisure.

For Peach's On-Screen Appearance, she appears spinning. She then poses and winks while holding her parasol.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
After seeing Mario and Kirby attacked by the Subspace Army, she and Zelda run to aide them. While Mario was blasted away, she and Zelda were both captured by Petey Piranha. At this point, it is up to the player to decide which one to save. In a cutscene, Kirby delivers a final blow to Petey Piranha, who then becomes engulfed in flames and explodes shortly after. Kirby and Peach land safely away from the explosion. They turn to see Wario appear, his eyes on Zelda, who has been freed from her cage and seems somewhat weak; she is also a little farther away from the others. Wario is carrying a device that looks like a gun, but considerably larger. He points it at the tired Zelda, charges it up, and unleashes the blast. A black arrow extends from the device and hits Zelda in the chest, knocking her into the air. She is then turned into a trophy, which Wario takes and runs. Peach and Kirby are shocked by this and turn to look at the Subspace Bomb, which only has five seconds to go before it goes off. Kirby and Peach take off as the bomb hits zero; an interdimensional explosion engulfs the stadium. Luckily, Kirby and Peach escape on a Warp Star at the last minute. They fly through the air, pursued by the Halberd, before accidentally landing on it. Soon after, an Arwing gets shot down, blowing Peach and Kirby off the Halberd and onto the ground below.
