After four decades of heroic rescues, near-weddings and the occasional cheeky kiss, Nintendo has officially declared that Mario and Princess Peach are “just good friends” who help each other out—and that’s it. Despite in-game hints (hello, Odyssey wedding subplot!) and fan-favorite marriage screens, the Mushroom Kingdom’s top duo apparently won’t be walking down any aisles together.
Naturally, some players are calling shenanigans—why tease romance for 40+ years only to slap on a “friends only” label? Whether it’s a PR dodge or a genuine status update, fans can only speculate… and maybe start campaigning for that hypothetical Peach-and-Mario wedding simulator.
