Over the years, Princess Peach has undergone a remarkable evolution, transforming from a traditionally perceived damsel in distress into a symbol of strength, independence, and versatility within the Nintendo universe. Initially introduced in "Super Mario Bros." in 1985, Peach primarily served as a character whom players ventured through various worlds to rescue. While iconic, her role was deeply rooted in classic fairy tale tropes that emphasized the need for a male hero.

 

However, as time progressed, Nintendo began to explore new dimensions of Peach, giving her a more active role in her narratives and adventures. In "Super Mario Bros. 2," released in 1988, Peach became a playable character for the first time, standing out not only for her presence but also for her unique abilities, differentiating herself from her peers with her ability to float in the air, which was revolutionary at the time.

 

Peach's crowning moment as a protagonist came with the release of "Super Princess Peach" in 2005, where she took the reins of her destiny, embarking on an adventure to rescue Mario and Luigi, a role reversal that was both refreshing and empowering. This game not only gave 

Peach a platform to shine on her own but also delved deeper into her character, showcasing her as a figure capable of facing challenges with intelligence, courage, and a range of emotions that granted her special powers.

 

Moreover, her involvement in sports and racing titles, like the "Mario Kart" and "Mario Tennis" series, portray her as a formidable competitor, reaffirming that her presence is not limited to being a character to be rescued but is a force to be reckoned with in the vast Mario universe.

 

Peach's evolution over the years is a testament to a broader shift in the video game industry towards representing female characters in more diverse and empowered ways. Princess Peach is no longer merely a symbol of vulnerability but a celebration of strength, independence, and versatility. Her trajectory is a clear reflection of how female characters can be both heroines and formidable competitors, an evolution worthy of praise in video game culture.

This model is very thin, please take care when removing it from the bed. Maybe wait until cold.

This is a challenging model to print, so maaaany thin lines, but the result is 🥰. 
Instead of enabling “Print Thin Walls” you can also try with “Arachne Perimeter Generator” https://help.prusa3d.com/article/arachne-perimeter-generator_352769

Printing it bigger could help also :P

If you need to scale the model to fit your print bed, just be sure to scale in XY and keep Z as 100%. It needed 2mm height to fit collection stands.
