The damsel-in-distress storyline is often used in fairy tales and even video games to give the hero a mission for his long journey. The most common damsel-in-distress stories can be found in children’s fairy tales such as Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, and many others. The most common females used for story lines like these are princesses or young women who are kidnapped by a jealous king or an evil prince and it is up to the hero, often a commoner or another unmarried prince to save her and eventually make her his bride.

The same storyline is used for the Mario Bros. with Princess Peach playing the role of the damsel-in-distress. She is often kidnapped by Bowser and his minions and trapped in an underground dungeon where Mario must fight an evil monster to save her. Whether Mario succeeds or not is up to you, after all, you are the player.

In the game, we meet Princess Peach Toadstool who also stands as the reigning princess of Mushroom Kingdom. She is described to be a tall, slender lady with long blonde hair and round blue eyes. Throughout the entire game series, she is seen wearing only one costume: a pink and red dress and a tiara encrusted with precious stones. Although she is generally a graceful and peaceful leader who opts for a diplomatic settlement instead of war, she still manages to fight with Bowser’s minions with quick gentle slaps and even a graceful high kick.

As one of the main protagonists of the Super Mario game series, Princess Peach has become a popular personality to dress up as in Comic Con events and Halloween parties. Her long pink dress, common props and easy to apply make up make it easy for parents to dress their little girls as the princess, as well as for teenagers to join costume-themed events as the damsel-in-distress.

Princess Peach’s costume is rather simple and to look and play the part, you need to have long blonde hair which you will adorn with a golden crown encrusted with fancy jewelry. Her jewelry consists of two sapphire earrings only and an emerald brooch on her dress. Her outfit includes long white gloves, red high-heeled shoes and of course, her pink dress with red accent.

Instead of going around looking for the outfit and costume props in different shops, ordering a set online would be a better, cheaper choice; that said, get your Princess Peach Deluxe costume today!
