Peach is the protagonist and playable character of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' (2005), a platform game with mechanics similar to ''Super Mario'' games.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harris |first=Craig |date=2006-02-23 |title=Super Princess Peach |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/02/23/super-princess-peach |access-date=2023-12-30 |website=IGN |language=en |archive-date=June 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230628201808/https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/02/23/super-princess-peach |url-status=live }}</ref> Set on Vibe Island, the game begins with Bowser using the Vibe Scepter to capture Mario and Luigi, resulting in Princess Peach embarking on a quest to rescue them with the help of her talking umbrella, Perry. During the game, she must navigate levels, release captured Toads, and finally face Bowser. In gameplay, she can stomp on enemies and attack them using Perry in various ways. Peach's health is measured with a heart meter. She also has a Vibe meter, which governs her four emotions: joy, gloom, rage, and calm. Each emotion power provides a unique ability; joy powers her to float in a cyclone, gloom creates floods of tears, rage engulfs her in flames, and calm restores her health.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Ryan |title=Super Princess Peach Review |url=https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-princess-peach-review/1900-6144887/#google_vignette |access-date=2023-12-30 |website=[[GameSpot]] |language=en-US |date=February 27, 2006|archive-date=October 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012204227/https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/super-princess-peach-review/1900-6144887/#google_vignette |url-status=live }}</ref>

Peach appears in two turn-based crossover games between the ''Mario'' and [[Ubisoft]]'s ''[[Rabbids]]'' franchises. In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', the player begins with three characters, one of which is [[Rabbid Peach]], a Rabbid version of Peach, who has the ability to heal allies and perform a stylish dash, which can kill multiple enemies. After being unlocked at the end of World 2, Peach is also a playable character and carries a short-range shotgun called a boomshot and tosses grenades at enemies. She also has the ability to perform a healing jump to heal allies.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Parkin |first=Jeffrey |date=2017-09-01 |title=Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle character guide: How to find and unlock Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach |url=https://www.polygon.com/mario-rabbids-kingdom-battle-guide-walkthrough/2017/9/1/16240652/characters-find-unlock-mario-rabbid-peach-luigi-yoshi-weapons-skills |access-date=2024-03-15 |website=Polygon |language=en-US |archive-date=March 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240315115901/https://www.polygon.com/mario-rabbids-kingdom-battle-guide-walkthrough/2017/9/1/16240652/characters-find-unlock-mario-rabbid-peach-luigi-yoshi-weapons-skills |url-status=live }}</ref> Peach and her Rabbid counterpart return along with other Nintendo characters in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]].''<ref>{{Cite web |last=Benson |first=Julian |date=2022-10-17 |title=Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope |url=https://www.techradar.com/reviews/mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope |access-date=2024-03-15 |website=TechRadar |language=en |archive-date=March 15, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240315120551/https://www.techradar.com/reviews/mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope |url-status=live }}</ref>
