Discover all of Peach's special attacks in Super Mario RPG (2023), from healing spells like Therapy to offensive moves like Psych Bomb. Learn how to use them effectively!
Alright, let's dive into what Princess Peach brings to the table in Super Mario RPG (2023)! Unlike some of the others, Peach's kit is really focused on keeping your team in tip-top shape, with a few offensive tricks up her sleeve too. We'll go through each of her special moves so you know exactly when to use them.
Here's a breakdown of all her special attacks:
| Special Attack | Level Unlock | Power | Effects | FP Cost |
| Therapy | Default | 40 | Heal and cure the status of one team member. Press “A” at the right time to heal to full | 2 FP |
| Group Hug | Default | 30 | Heal and cure the statuses of all team members | 4 FP |
| Sleepy Time | Lv. 11 | - | A chance to inflict sleep on all enemies. If you spin your left joystick fast enough to fill the bar, you’ll put all the enemies to sleep successfully. | 4 FP |
| Come Back | Lv. 13 | - | Revive a fallen team member and if you hit “A” at the perfect time it’ll also heal them to full. | 2 FP |
| Mute | Lv. 15 | - | Inflict Silence on one enemy. If you spin the left joystick fast enough you’ll silence all enemies! | 3 FP |
| Psych Bomb | Lv. 18 | 60 | Damage all enemies by pressing “A” repeatedly until the wheel fills. | 15 FP |
Therapy and Group Hug
When Peach first joins your party, you'll immediately have access to Therapy and Group Hug. Think of Therapy as your go-to for single-target healing – it's cheaper on FP and great for bringing one ally back from the brink. Group Hug, on the other hand, is your emergency button for when the whole team is taking a beating. If the enemies are spamming area-of-effect attacks, you'll want to lean on Group Hug more often. The cool thing about both is that if you nail the timed button press (usually hitting 'A' at the right moment), you'll heal your target(s) to full! It's a small detail, but it can save you a lot of FP in the long run.
Sleepy Time
This is one of Peach's neat utility moves. When you use Sleepy Time, you'll get a chance to put all enemies to sleep. To guarantee it hits everyone, you need to spin the left joystick as fast as you can to fill up the meter. If you don't quite fill it, you might still get lucky and put some enemies to sleep for a few turns. Enemies that are asleep are totally vulnerable, but be careful – a physical attack will wake them right up! However, magical attacks won't disturb their slumber, so you can keep blasting them with spells while they're napping.
Come Back
Think of Come Back as the super-powered version of the Pick Me Up item. Its main job is to revive a fallen party member. But here's the kicker: if you hit the 'A' button perfectly when prompted, you'll not only bring them back but also restore them to full HP! You can only use this when someone's down, so don't worry about accidentally selecting it – it'll be greyed out until it's actually useful.
Mute
Mute is another fantastic utility spell. It's used to inflict the Silence status on an enemy, which stops them from using magic attacks. Just like Sleepy Time, if you spin the left joystick fast enough to fill the meter, you can silence all enemies on screen! This is super handy against foes who rely heavily on powerful, unblockable magic attacks that could otherwise wreck your team.
Psych Bomb
Finally, we have Psych Bomb, which is Peach's main offensive special attack. It's pretty straightforward: you just mash the 'A' button repeatedly to fill up a wheel. The more you fill it, the more damage it does to all enemies on screen. This makes it a great move for finishing off groups of foes or dealing some solid damage when you need it!
Peach really shines as a support character, but don't underestimate the utility and damage she can bring with these moves!
