You know, considering that new untitled Peach game is a bit like Luigi’s Mansion with how it puts a Mario character in a new environment with new game mechanics, I’m kinda hoping Peach gets her own original villain the same way Luigi was given King Boo.
Hell, with Super Mario RPG coming back, which has many original characters, and with the characters from the Peach teaser being something other than Toads, it seems Nintendo might be willing to dip their toes into original characters again. So what’s better to start making new characters than by giving Peach her own bad guy ! Also the new Mario Bros game has some new characters as well from the looks of it, so again, it’s possible !
And don’t get me wrong, Bowser is absolutely iconic and I do enjoy the irony of Peach battling against him. But with this game not being a platformer, and again taking into consideration Luigi’s Mansion, it would be a fun change of pace for Peach to have a new villain in her own series (god I hope this game becomes a series of several games!!!). Plus, it seems Peach will be more and more playable in mainline games, meaning more Bowser beat-up from her anyways.
And yes, part of me wants that new villain to be a female character as it's been forever since Mario games has had one and I am very much aware of how people would go crazy over it for the shipping.
(Also going back to Bowser, it’s more of a “me” thing but I always found it slightly weird to see Bowser attack Peach, since he’s supposed to be in love with her (Paper Mario games prove it well) and in all the games she gets captured, there are no indications he ever raises a hand on her. Hell in Odyssey he’s very gentle when putting Tiara on Peach’s head. Also Peach is never particularly afraid of him despite how horrible he can be, which implies he doesn’t physically hurt her.
Fun fact : this is why I headcanon Super Princess Peach as taking place very soon after Super Paper Mario, since the two of them would have just spent weeks working together and getting along. So it would work for Bowser to lose his shit upon getting rejected yet again “despite doing everything right” and thus be willing to fight her. As for 3d World, there’s three other people Bowser can focus on to avoid hurting her)

Your blog is amazing and so informative!!! I will be spending the rest of the day reading it haha. I wanted to ask, which tiara/s would you like to see the Duchess of Cambridge in, and which ones do you think could be loaned to her? Also, do you think she will debut a new one this year or will continue wearing the CLK or go back to the Lotus? Thanks in advance!
Thank you! Enjoy getting sucked into a hole of tiaras and then looking at the clock and thinking what have I been doing all day. At least, that’s what usually happens to me.
For the Duchess of Cambridge, my pipe dream tiara is the Cambridge Sapphire Parure Tiara. It was made for Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge sometime in the early 1800s and I love the idea of it being made for one Duchess of Cambridge and now worn by the current Duchess of Cambridge. If it was still in the mainline of the royal family, it would be one of the oldest tiaras but it’s not still in the mainline of the royal family because Queen Mary gave it and the accompanying parure to Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent. Like many jewels that were given to the Kents, this piece has been sold. I want them to track down whoever owns the tiara now, buy it from them and then buy the rest of the parure from the Kents. It’s totally never going to happen but it’s my pipe dream for a reason.
More realistically, I’d love to see Catherine in Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara. It was my choice for her to wear on her wedding day and I haven’t lost hope of seeing her wearing it but I don’t think she will be loaned another tiara anytime soon. Queen Mary’s Cambridge Lovers Knot Tiara is my favorite on her but I’d like to see her mix it up a little more with the Lotus Flower Tiara and the Halo Scroll Tiara. It’s never going to be my favorite tiara on her but I think the Halo Scroll got a little lost in the veil on her wedding day and I’d like to see her give it another chance styled in a different way.
