The long awaited Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach, arrives into Rivals of Aether! She’s no damsel in distress here, prepared to take on anyone with her slaps, rainbows, hearts, and turnips.

Name: Peach Toadstool
Series Origin: Super Mario
Debut: Super Mario Bros. (NES, 1985)

Like in her Smash Bros. appearances and her source game, Peach is a floaty fighter who may be slow but has plenty of strong attacks and turnips to dish out plenty of damage. Her air game is her strong suit, having excellent aerials to combo and extend her assault.

By holding the jump button and/or holding the down input while airborne, Peach can Hover in the air for a limited time. She can perform air attacks and certain specials in place during in her hover state. This mechanic gives Peach an excellent way to control space, makes recovering easier and helps extend her combos.

Peach becomes angry and engulfs herself in flames, damaging anyone who is near her. Deals burn damage.
As of V2, not only the flames are bigger but Peach can walk in either direction by inputting the movement key/stick during the move’s initial startup.

Peach rams into her foe with her huge…uh, peach and slams into them. If her opponent is burned, this attack with consume the burn and deal massive damage and knockback instead.

Peach ascends into the air with her umbrella and then gently flies down. Can be cancelled into pratfall by double tapping down.

Peach plucks up and turnip off the ground. Due to Rivals not having items, Peach instead carries it overhead and won’t perform her usual moves unless she throws it away. She no longer has the random chance of getting powerful turnips or items but makes up for it with her turnip being relativity powerful from the start to compensate.
