Canon
Mario

Mario and Princess Peach are childhood friends who are implied to have romantic feelings towards each other. However, they have yet to form a romantic relationship as of yet. Mario rescues Princess Peach, while Peach will reward him with a kiss or some cake. The duo have also worked together in Super Mario 3D World and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle.

Fanon
Princess Peach is one of the most famous female characters in gaming. Ever since her first appearance in the series, fans have adored the character for her design and personality. Although, this is not to say the character has not received backlash. Critics may describe her as merely being a 'stereotypical damsel-in-distress who does nothing' due to her frequent roles in the series, but this ignores instances in which she is both a playable character and a savior.

The most common ship with the princess comes in the form of a red plumber. Mario and Peach nearly have 200 fics AO3 as of now. Some, however, may prefer Powser as a ship due to Bowser's personality and motives. Peach is also shipped with Pauline, due to both characters being major female characters who are romantic interests for Mario.

Trivia

 * Princess Peach's first appearance was in 1985's Super Mario Bros. Here, she adorned red hair and a white dress
 * Her original design gave her a ribbon around her waist and less pale pink segments. Her current one, however, gives her a bustle and less dark pink segments instead
 * Super Mario Sunshine gave her a sleeveless version of her current design
 * Her final smash, Peach Blossom, is based on one of her moves in Super Mario RPG. Specifically, it takes inspiration from Sleepy Time, in which sheep will rain down and cause the enemy to sleep
 * In some non-canon forms of media, Princess Peach will be a teenager instead of an adult like Mario or Luigi. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show has her as 16 and a friend of the brothers
 * Currently, Super Princess Peach is the only game in which she saves Mario and Luigi
 * With her appearance in Yoshi's Island DS and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Princess Peach has known the brothers since they were all children and would even have play dates with them
 * Peach, Bowser, and Luigi have all been possessed or mind controlled at some point in the Paper Mario spin-off series. With Peach, she was both possessed by the Shadow Queen and partially controlled by Nastasia
