Princess Peach

Princess Peach is a playable character in all ten of the Mario Kart installments. Peach is the love-interest of Mario. She is also friends with Daisy, Luigi, Toad, and Toadette. She has an infant counterpart known as Baby Peach in Mario Kart Wii. Baby Peach is basically the infant form of Peach, but she wears a tutu, sucks on a pacifier, and wears a diaper. She serves as the lead female in the Mario series.

Description
Princess Peach is depicted as a blue-eyed blonde, wearing a pink dress with white elbow-length gloves. Peach also wears sapphire earrings along with a crown decorated with rubies and sapphires. She wears very little makeup; just hot pink lipstick applied to her full lips. Peach's head is heart-shaped and her eyes are lashious and oval. Around her eyes are several eyelashes and she has blond eyebrows. In addition, Peach's hair falls down her back and has several flips; she also has hair that falls close to her cheeks. Peach is around the same height as Daisy, but shorter than characters including Waluigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Rosalina.

In her first three Mario Kart appearances, her dress was half light pink and half dark pink, it had a dark pink sash, and her hair was worn loose. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and later Mario Kart games, her dress is seven-eights light pink and one-eighth dark pink at the bottom, it has two dark pink panniers, and she now wears her hair in a ponytail with a blue rubber band.

Even though she wears her gown in Mario Kart Wii, she also wears a pink jumpsuit with gloves and boots when riding motorbikes. The suit is white with pink verticle lines going down Peach's arms and legs. Her accessories include a pink scarf, a pink belt with a white buckle and pink boots and gloves. Along with that accompanies her traditional jewelry. There is also a heart-shaped pattern on her back. Daisy and Rosalina also have a similar outfit design like Peach's, but with different color schemes as a result.

Peach is the epitome of grace, but isn’t to be judged merely by her sweet looks as she is a mean driver when she wants to be.

Appearances

She is the fourth lightest of all the racers and she and Yoshi both have the highest acceleration and good handling, but the lowest top speed.
