Canon
Mario

Mario and 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 Peach, while she 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.

Bowser

Bowser and Peach are childhood enemies. Even as toddlers, Bowser has been shown to kidnap her, resulting in Mario rescuing her. While his motives tend to vary, a common trend shows that he has romantic feelings for Peach. Bowser has even made attempts to marry her. Peach does not return said feelings however, due to his constant schemes and kidnappings. She will still ally with Bowser when necessary, though.

Fanon
Princess Peach is one of the most famous female characters in video 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. Some, however, may prefer Powser as a ship due to Bowser’s personality and motives. Peach is also shipped with Pauline, thanks to both characters being major female characters who are romantic interests for Mario. Rosalina and Daisy are also commonly paired with Peach.

In terms of crossover ships, Samupeach is one of the most common femslash pairings in the Super Smash Bros. series. This is due to them both being female characters featured in the Super Smash Bros series and some promotional work for Nintendo. For those who also enjoy Rosalina and Peach as a pair, polyships have formed with the trio.

Currently, Princess Peach has at least 1,400 fan-works on Archive of our Own, making her the fifth most popular character in the Super Smash Bros series and most popular character for Super Mario, outranking even the titular character. FanFiction.Net, has an even larger amount for Peach, with 1,400 for Super Mario and 500 for Smash, giving her a grand total of 1,900.
