Peach kisses Mario at the end of Super Mario All-Stars (Nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nintendo<\/a> has poured cold water over any romance between Super Mario<\/a> and Princess Peach, but the company might want to check the tapes.<\/p>\n

Mario has been saving Princess Peach from Bowser’s clutches ever since 1985’s Super Mario Bros., but their relationship has always been left somewhat ambiguous.<\/p>\n

There have been countless kisses over the years, at the conclusion of various games, including an awkward smacker on the nose in Super Mario 64, but most modern titles have largely avoided insinuating there’s any romance between the pair.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey<\/a>, for example, Peach shuns Mario and Bowser’s advances and hops aboard Mario’s ship to go home instead. In The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/a>, meanwhile, there’s no suggestion Mario is saving Peach in order to land a quick smooch.<\/p>\n

It seems Nintendo is determined to keep things purely platonic, as outlined pretty explicitly on the Nintendo Today app.<\/p>\n

In the post, which has been widely circulated on social media<\/a>, Nintendo wrote: ‘Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can.’<\/p>\n
