Peach

Peach has always been a playable participant in the Mario Kart series. In Super Mario Kart, when controlled by the CPU, Peach sometimes uses mushrooms to shrink the other drivers. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Peach is teamed up with Daisy, and their special item is the Heart. Peach's personal kart in Mario Kart Double Dash!! is the Heart Coach, which is available by default. In Mario Kart DS, her karts are the Royaleand the Light Tripper. In Mission Mode, she has to race against King Boo. She is advanced at drifting corners and has average item use. Peach is classified Medium in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but Light in Mario Kart DS. Peach appears in Mario Kart Wii as a Medium-size driver, unlike Mario Kart DS and has an Acceleration Bonus Stat of +5 making her the easiest Medium driver to reach top speed; in this game, she also wears a biking outfit when the player chooses motorbikes (more details about this outfit can be found here). In Mario Kart 7, Peach is classified as a light racer. Peach is a returning playable racer in Mario Kart 8, and she retains her jumpsuit from Mario Kart Wii when she uses bikes or ATVs, while her signature dress is used exclusively for karts. Pink Gold Peach, a character who appears to be to Peach what Metal Mario is to Mario, is also introduced as an unlockable playable character in this game. In Mario Kart 8, her signature vehicle is the Badwagon.

Peach's racing courses are Royal Raceway, Peach Circuit, Peach Beach, and Peach Gardens. In Mario Kart Wii a statue of Peach appears in the battle course Block Plaza. A billboard featuring her also appears in Moonview Highway, and her emblem is seen in Dry Dry Ruins. In Mario Kart 7, Peach does not have a race course, but a battle course called Sherbet Rink. In Mario Kart 8 's Toad Harbor, a statue of Peach based on the Statue of Liberty can be seen in the background.

In Mario Kart 8, one of Peach's tricks involves blowing a kiss that varies depending on which vehicle that she is riding; if the player is using an inside drifting bike, she blows the kiss with her right hand, and when using an outside drifting bike, she uses her left hand. She is the tenth worst Mario Kart character of all time.
