Basic Attacks
A basic double-slap
A high, upward kick
Peach pushes a giant heart upward.
A low swing aimed at the opponent's legs
Dash Attacks
Peach creates an energy sphere and pushes it in front of her.
Smash Attacks
Peach swings a golf club, frying pan, or tennis racket forward, capable of launching enemies when charged.
Peach will twirl around with a ribbon which can launch enemies vertically
Peach will spin around while sitting on the ground.
Special Attacks
Peach brings out toad to counter enemy attacks.
Peach will dash towards her target and hit him/her hard with her butt. This move is quite powerful and doesn't leave Peach in a “fall” status, which allows her to quickly follow up with another special move. This is quite potent when used in proper timing in an aerial combo.
Peach will jump upward with her parasol open. Unlike other characters where their Up Special usually acts as a recovery move, Peach Parasol acts as both recovery and attack. Enemies hit by her parasol will be dragged up, suffering multiple hits and damage. On her way down, the parasol will also serve as a parachute, giving Peach control as she lands. The parasol will be closed if she gets hit or if the player tilts the circle pad down.
Peach pulls a vegetable from the ground and it can be thrown to an opponent by pressing Down Special again. When pulling from the ground, there's a chance that Peach will pull rarer items like swords, bombs, or Mr. Saturn.
Air Attacks
Peach spins around hitting any enemies around her
Peach gets her crown and hits the enemy in front her with it
Peach attacks to the back using her behind
Peach creates a small rainbow over her head.
Peach thrusts her feet several times downward
Final Smash
Peach dances around and will cause giant Peaches to fall from the sky. Any opponent caught nearby will fall asleep for a few seconds. The giant peaches can be eaten to heal 10% damage per piece either by the player or the opponents. It is recommended to eat all the peaches even if the player doesn't have that much damage to prevent the opponents from healing themselves. Peach can also use this chance to use a charged Smash attack on a helpless opponent. Since hitting one opponent will cause others to wake up in a multiplayer game, it's recommended to hit the most severely damaged opponent to score a KO or just use the time to consume the peaches.
Recovery
Peach has some of the best recovery moves in the game. For one, she can Float. Pressing the jump button while she's in mid-air allows her to float for a few seconds. You can control her and make her glide in mid-air to the left or right and she can cover quite a large distance just by floating. Her Up Special has good jump height and can damage enemies above her as well. With her parasol open, she can slowly glide down to the direction of her choice since the parasol will act as a small parachute.
Peach Bomber is her main horizontal recovery move and doesn't leave her in a fall state. She can even use it consecutively in mid-air, as long as she keeps hitting her intended target.
Surprisingly, Peach boasts a well-rounded set of moves. Her Smash attacks and her Peach Bomber can deal solid damage. The latter move is quite powerful and doesn't leave Peach in a “fall” status, which allows her to quickly follow up with another special move. This is quite potent when used in proper timing in an aerial combo. She's one of the lightweight characters in the game so expect her not to handle that much punishment before she can be thrown off the stage. To counter this, Peach must rely on her effective recovery moves to get around the stage and even outmaneuver her enemies.
Out of the many characters in the game, Peach can also Float. You can control her and make her glide in mid-air to the left or right and she can cover quite a large distance just by doing this. This allows her to escape to safety. Her Up Special functions both as a recovery move and attack, giving her much versatility in different situations. Her only projectile move is pulling out and throwing a Vegetable (Down Special). This move has a random damage but the good thing is that Peach has a chance to pull better, stronger thrown items.
