Electrical gates appear if her dress is the default color. She shields, generates lightning, and reaches 100% charge. The device on her dress says "Beam ready", then she'll modify her legs before the beam is even fired. The more skirtish her dress is, the more electricity she'll generate.
 
Generate bonus:
 
Pink: Normal.

Blue: +15 charge bonus.

When Peach wears a white dress, she, by far, can have a charge bonus of 50. The dress device will break if shielded for too long.

Peach returns as a veteran to ''Brawl''. She is based off of her recent appearance with the two panniers since ''Super Mario Sunshine'', but her dress is slightly more detailed. Her dress no longer has the fiery designs that she had in the prequel. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from ''Melee'', with a few minor enhancements and/or nerfs. Her [[Final Smash]] attack, [[Peach Blossom]], involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep and deals damage as well.

Peach returns as a veteran to Brawl. She is based off of her recent appearance with the two panniers since Super Mario Sunshine, but her dress is slightly more detailed. Her dress no longer has the fiery designs that she had in the prequel. Her moves have been virtually unchanged from Melee, with a few minor enhancements and/or nerfs. Her Final Smash attack, Peach Blossom, involves her lulling all grounded opponents to sleep and deals damage as well.

As Collectible Trophies

Additionally, Peach appears as multiple trophies in the game:

Peach

The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Her long blond hair is a perfect match for her pink dress. Regardless of the number of Toad retainers she has, she's often kidnapped by Bowser. Though she's usually the damsel in distress, she got a starring role in Super Princess Peach, where it was her turn to rescue Mario and Luigi.

  • Super Mario Bros.
  • Super Princess Peach

Paper Peach

The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. With her sparkling crown and gorgeous blond hair, Peach always looks the part, even when flat as paper. Count Bleck kidnaps the princess and tries to force her to marry Bowser. While jumping, Peach can use a special umbrella technique that allows her to float down gently or reach otherwise inaccessible places.

  • Paper Mario
  • Super Paper Mario

Wedding Peach

The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom adorned in a pure white wedding dress rather than her usual pink one. Peach also has her long blond hair drawn up in a ponytail. And who might she be marrying? Bowser of all people, who was also forced into the marriage by the scandalous Count Bleck. Brainwashed by Nastasia, Peach is even forced into giving her vows.

  • Super Paper Mario
