Appearances
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Rabbid Peach is accidentally created when the Rabbids, along with their Time Washing Machine, end up in the laboratory of a Super Mario fan who is working on a visor called SupaMerge that can fuse objects. Rabbid Peach is born when a Rabbid puts on the SupaMerge and energy blasts from the visor collide with another Rabbid wearing a Princess Peach wig and holding a phone. This event leads to the formation of Rabbid Mario and a Balloon Rabbid as well. These Rabbids, along with Beep-0, the inventor's robot companion, are then transported to the Mushroom Kingdom when a beam from the SupaMerge hits the Time Washing Machine and causes it to malfunction.
Upon her arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom, Rabbid Peach meets Mario, Beep-0, and Rabbid Luigi, with whom she teams up to save the kingdom. Rabbid Peach takes selfies during battles and shows jealousy of Princess Peach, but nonetheless helps defeat enemies.
Throughout their adventure, the heroes triumph over challenges, ultimately defeating the Megabug, an entity which has possessed Bowser, and saving the Mushroom Kingdom.
Returning to Peach's Castle, the heroes celebrate their victory by unveiling a statue of Rabbid Peach and capturing the moment in a victory selfie.
Donkey Kong Adventure
Rabbid Peach is a protagonist in the DLC featuring Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Adventure. After Rabbid Kong's defeat, he attacks a Time Washing Machine and gets vacuumed into it along with other Rabbids. Spawny's SupaMerge energy is accidentally activated, and Rabbid Peach unknowingly plugs her low-battery phone into the machine. This sends her to another dimension, along with Beep-0. On an island, they meet Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky. The heroes then search for the Time Washing Machine, finding Rabbid Kong who is upset about his defeat in the base game. He attacks Rabbid Peach, and they seek the Machine in Rabbid Kong's hideout.
Obtaining keys and battling enemies, the heroes reach a temple in the jungle and defeat Mega Rabbid Kong, falling into a dungeon. Escaping, they vanquish Mega Rabbid Kong again. Rabbid Peach forgives him, leading to his reformation. They return the Time Washing Machine, taking a victory selfie together in Banana Lagoon.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Rabbid Peach returns in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Together with Mario, she searches for Rabbid Mario's missing overalls at Peach's Castle. The story unfolds as creatures called Sparks start falling from the sky and a flying manta ray made of Darkmess attacks, abducting Rabbid Peach. Mario and Beep-0 set out to rescue her, aided by a Spark named Starburst. As they are taken to Cursa, the main antagonist of the game, they are saved by Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Mario riding a spaceship called the WM ARC.
On Beacon Beach, the heroes meet a warrior Rabbid called Edge, towards whom Rabbid Peach displays jealousy upon meeting.
As their journey progresses across planets, they confront Cursa at its stronghold and defeat it, rescuing Rosalina. Returning to Peach's Castle, Rosalina praises everyone, including Bowser. However, Bowser remains unsatisfied. In a playful gesture, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Luigi approach Bowser, prompting his fiery reaction that sends them flying.
Rayman in the Phantom Show
Main article: Rayman in the Phantom Show
Rabbid Peach is a protagonist in the DLC featuring Rayman, Rayman in the Phantom Show. After having received an invitation to the Space Opera Network in the form of a golden ticket, she travels there with Rabbid Mario and Beep-0, and quickly comes across Rayman at the Network Reception.
Rabbid Peach first aims her Triple-Troll weapon at Rayman, then thoroughly observes his lack of arms and legs, leading him to push her aside. Beep-0 then intervenes, assuring Rayman that they are not "run-off-the-mill Rabbids", but heroes. Before they can discuss the situation further, they are ambushed by Goombas and Stooges, and join forces against them.
Upon defeating the enemies, Rayman and the Rabbids introduce themselves to each other and find out that they have all received the same invitation. They praise each other's fighting abilities and decide to team up for the time being. Immediately afterwards, an elevator comes down into the room, and the Phantom comes out of it and towards them. Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario, recognizing the enemy they previously fought in the Spooky Trails area of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, are held back by Rayman as they try to attack him, and the Phantom reveals a bouquet of flowers, appeasing the Rabbids. He goes on to explain that he is now a changed person, no longer corrupted by the Megabug, and that he needs their help to restore the studio's ratings as his actors have left him. The Rabbids are instantly convinced by the Phantom's promises of fame and glory, and while Beep-0 is initially reluctant, he is eventually won over by flattery. The heroes are then tasked with performing in three different productions.
Once all three tasks have been completed, the Phantom congratulates them and asks the team to join him by the elevator in the Main TV Studio. They ascend to the Control Room, where the Phantom reveals his duplicity, explaining that he had been plotting his revenge the entire time and only manipulated the heroes into ridding the Space Opera Network of Darkmess. With the help of his newfound fame, as the studio is now number one in the galaxy, he intends to defeat the heroes as part of one last performance.
In battles reminiscent of when he was first encountered, the team eventually defeats the Phantom, destroying the spotlights that provide him with immunity.
Having found a functioning warp portal, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario decide to head back to Peach's Castle, having not found the actor career much to their liking. Before leaving, Rabbid Peach exchanges presents with Rayman. In pictures shown after the credits, the presents are revealed to be a Mario cap with Rabbid ears, which Rayman wears, and a Rayman hoodie, which Mario holds in his hands.
Personality
Unlike other Rabbids like Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Yoshi, Rabbid Peach sometimes displays bossy behavior. She is sassy, easily bored, and loves taking selfies. Rabbid Peach has a vain side, seeking attention and showing off her looks. This vanity is evident when a statue of her is unveiled at the end of an adventure.
Rabbid Peach can be rude and inconsiderate. She acts recklessly, and also exhibits a crush on Mario and jealousy towards his relationship with Princess Peach.
Despite her flaws, Rabbid Peach has a good heart and helps her allies when needed.
Gameplay
Rabbid Peach exhibits limited offensive capabilities, impressive defense, and moderate mobility. Equipped with a Blaster, a mid-range weapon with significant damage output, and a Sentry, an explosive deployable unit, she possesses a distinct "Stylish Dash" ability enabling multiple hits (up to four). Her special abilities consist of Shield, which diminishes movement and weapon damage, and Heal, restoring her health and her allies' (maximum 70%). Notably, her Shield synergizes with Princess Peach's Protection ability for substantial damage reduction.
In the sequel, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Rabbid Peach remains one of the nine playable characters. Armed with the Triple-Troll, a blaster-like weapon firing three missiles, she can target and potentially destroy cover. This weapon even includes a mount for her smartphone. Her ability set continues with Heal, accompanied by a new skill, Healing Jump.
