Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuted inMario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character. She is a pink gold version ofPrincess Peach in the same manner as howMetal Mario andGold Mario are metallic and golden versions ofMario, respectively. Her body is made ofpink gold, and her earrings, brooch, and crown jewels are made of diamonds.
According toKosuke Yabuki, Pink Gold Peach was created to satisfy the need of a female medium-sized heavyweight driver in the game's roster; he contrasts her withRosalina, who in this game is a large heavyweight.Hideki Konno, the game's producer, states that her pink gold constitution was originally suggested by a female staff member of the game's development team.[1]
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
InMario Kart 8, Pink Gold Peach is an unlockable heavyweight character, which means that she has better speed and weight than most other racers. She, alongsideBaby Rosalina, are characters introduced inMario Kart 8 that are also introduced to the overallSuper Mario franchise. Alongside Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach is one of the heaviest racers in the game, although she has less speed thanWiggler,Bowser,Wario,Morton Koopa Jr., the large-sizedMiis, andDry Bowser, which boosts her handling; Pink Gold Peach's speed and handling are tied withRosalina,Donkey Kong,Waluigi,Roy Koopa, andLink. Also, Pink Gold Peach's voice is filtered, similar to how Metal Mario's voice is filtered. Like her normal entity, she wears a biker outfit while riding onBikes andATVs. Herkart symbol is Princess Peach's crown with hexagonal gems and an overall pink color.
Like Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach uses the body frame size of the middleweight racers, despite being a heavyweight, making her slightly harder to hit compared to other heavyweights.

Pink Gold Peach returns inMario Kart 8 Deluxe for theNintendo Switch, as the game is a remastered port ofMario Kart 8. She is now available from the start. As of Version 2.2.0, Pink Gold Peach won't be selected as a CPU character ifPeach orCat Peach are present in the race.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
InMario Kart Tour, Pink Gold Peach appears as one of the drivers released alongside the2019 Winter Tour. She is a High-End driver, and herspecial skill is theCoin Box. She is the first veteran racer to be made available as a spotlight character. A kart and a glider based on her (theRose Queen andPink Gold Paper Glider respectively) were added in theFlower Tour, with both also being High-End units. Starting with thePeach Tour, Pink Gold Peach gained her ownself-named cup and is available permanently in regular pipes.

Mario Sports Superstars[edit]

Pink Gold Peach is an unlockable character inMario Sports Superstars. She is one of two unlockable characters, the other one being Metal Mario. Pink Gold Peach is classified as a Power character. In tennis, this causes her shots and serves to be more powerful and travel quickly across the court. In golf, Pink Gold Peach's default drive is 222 yards, and her shots travel straight and at a medium-high height. Excluding her appearance as a badge inNintendo Badge Arcade, this marks her first appearance in a game released for a handheld console. She is unlocked after the player completes Ring Challenge in Training Mode on Hard difficulty, or if the player taps in a corresponding Pink Gold Peachamiibocard. However, this will only unlock Pink Gold Peach in the sport where this criteria has been met; in order to unlock her fully, the criteria must be completed in all five sports (tennis, golf, baseball, soccer, and horse racing). In this game, Pink Gold Peach also uses some voice clips ofJen Taylor reused fromMario Power Tennis, though filtered. Pink Gold Peach's animations are also identical to Peach's in this game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Pink Gold Peach is a Shield-typespirit alongside theBadwagon inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. It depicts the solo artwork of her fromMario Kart 8. Her spirit is an Ace-classprimary spirit with two support slots, and it increases the player's running speed when used.
General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
As her name suggests, Pink Gold Peach's body frame is composed mostly of a metallic rose gold color. The panniers, collar, and frills of her dress are a slightly darker, more old rose color. The only non-metallic components of her design are her brooch, her earrings, and her crown's jewels; these are all a nearly clear platinum color, and are faceted gems, unlike Peach's. This aspect is also reflected in heremblem. She wears a biker suit while operating bikes and ATVs, while the gloves, boots, and other known equipment serve in a darker old rose color.
InMario Sports Superstars, Pink Gold Peach wears sports attire just like her original form counterpart does. For golf and tennis, she wears a sleeveless mini-dress. For baseball, soccer, and horseback, she wears a two-piece uniform, consisting of a sleeveless top and shorts.
