Nintendo has finally confirmed Mario and Princess Peach's relationship status after all these years.
According to their message shared via Nintendo Today:
"Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can."
Of course, fans might not agree with this.
Mario has been rescuing Peach for over 40 years in our time, and who knows how many years have passed within the video games themselves. Baby Mario and Baby Peach have teamed up before, so it's possible they've known each other their entire lives. Nintendo previously confirmed that Mario is roughly 24 years old, so we can assume they've been together at least that long as well.
Jump ahead to modern day, and Mario has saved her countless times, with her kissing him on multiple occasions as well. (Who can ever forget his reaction to getting kissed in Super Mario 64?) It has always been clear that the two care about each other, and Mario never passes up the chance to be with her.
Putting this aside, however, Peach did turn down Mario's marriage proposal in Super Mario Odyssey, yet the two still seem to be close. Maybe this is where the 'friendzone' came into play? What's even stranger is her apparent lack of hatred for Bowser, making the dynamics between all three characters a bit confusing.
Either way, this is Nintendo's current official stance, so we'll have to wait to see if anything changes—assuming it ever does.
