[2] The game follows Peach's trip to Vibe Island to rescue Mario and Luigi, who have been kidnapped by Bowser, in a reversal of the damsel in distress trope.

Using coins as currency the player can purchase incremental upgrades to expand the heart gauge or the emotion meter, as well as Perry the Parasol's abilities.

The game's bonuses include a glossary, puzzles, mini-games, a music room, and replays of Perry's dreams.

After his second-in-command, Army Hammer Bro finds the Scepter for him, Bowser hatches a plan to capture the Mario Brothers.

Goomba becomes influenced by the Vibe Scepter and begins swinging it around, causing Bowser and his minions to lose control of their emotions.

Meanwhile, Princess Peach and Toadsworth return to her castle after a short walk only to find the residents in emotional disarray and a note from Bowser saying that he has captured Mario and Luigi.

Shortly before her departure, Toadsworth is reluctant to see Peach travel on her own, and gives her a sentient parasol named Perry to help her on her journey.

Because of the Goomba's earlier flaunting of the scepter, emotional energy had been dispersed all over the island causing the residents to experience various moods.

One day, Perry was confronted by a pair of enigmatic magicians who had seemingly heard of the boy's powers and transformed him into an umbrella.

The wizard and his henchman captured Perry and brought him toward an unconfirmed location, but he managed to escape by wiggling free from his captors and fell onto the road.

Bowser uses the Vibe Scepter to increase Army Hammer Bro's power with rage, but Peach bests him nonetheless.

After Bowser's final defeat, Peach frees Mario, they rejoice and return to the Mushroom Kingdom alongside Luigi and the Toads, with the Vibe Scepter left floating in space.

Super Princess Peach received generally positive reviews from critics, it currently has an average rating of 76.60% on GameRankings,[22] and of 75% on Metacritic.

Gaming website GameSpy noted that the number of shop items and the "Joy" vibe made it "quite hard to die".

[26] From February 2006 to March 2007, the magazine Famitsu DS+Gamecube+Advance published a comical manga based on the game called Peach no Daiboken!?

[30] Like the original game, the story deals with Peach, traveling with Perry and joined by Toadsworth, to save her friends abducted by Bowser.
