50 free Princess Peach trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Princess Peach has appeared in more video games than any other female character, and for most of them she has been waiting in a castle. But the details around that running joke are rich: she was Princess Toadstool in the West for over a decade, she got her float jump from a Japanese game that had nothing to do with Mario, and she has carried a frying pan, a parasol, a talking umbrella and, in one Ubisoft crossover, a shotgun. These 50 questions cover her whole history. The easy tier covers the kingdom, the Toads, Bowser, the pink dress and her 2023 film voice. The middle asks about Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 64's cake, Sunshine's Bowser Jr. mix-up, Smash Bros. turnips, Super Princess Peach's emotion powers and the Odyssey scene where she turns down both suitors. The hard end goes to Yoshi's Safari, the Nelsonic Game Watch, the rejected Walupeach, the Ocarina of Time painting, the Guinness-record amiibo and why Miyamoto said her skirt kept her out of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Every answer is cited to a page we checked and comes with a short explanation. Play it solo or print it for a Nintendo night.
