Peach as a villain is gold, my dudes. Just picture it, all the koopalings shaking in their shells cuz they gotta face off against their dad trying to storm the castle. Would be a riot!! And Mario's just Peach's puppet, and the final boss fight is like Mario in some dark overalls trying to clobber Bowser with hammers 😂

Considering the deep lore implications, Bowser’s quest to save Mario from Evil Peach would mean a total subversion of classic Mario tropes. Peach commanding a villainous brigade of ordinarily peaceful Mushroom Kingdom creatures gives the franchise a dark twist. What if she's been corrupted by the residual effects of the Power Stars, twisting the narrative into a tale of corruption and redemption? It would add depth to her character and a whole new layer to the Mushroom Kingdom mythos. And imagine the power-ups! Inverted Mushrooms, Shadow Flowers, and maybe even a Dark Star for Bowser! The boss battles would be epic as well.

Bowser saving Mario? Bruh, are you for real? The whole charm of Mario games is stomping on goombas and rescuing the princess. Flipping it is just gonna make it weird. Bowser's supposed to kidnap, not rescue. Don't mess with the classics, dude.

omg i just joined this sub and this idea is sooo cool. i can't even imagine peach being bad lol. would she have like a dark gown and a creepy crown? and maybe she's using mario as bait to finally beat bowser or something, i'd def play this game!!!

idk doesn't Peach being the villain kinda sideline Luigi and, especially, Daisy? I feel like they should be the ones rescuing Mario, since it’s a family matter. Bowser could be like an anti-hero who's also been wronged by Peach's sudden power trip, teaming up reluctantly with them.

Alright, you gotta think, Bowser already has armies, so Peach turning to the dark side would mean she'd have to rally Mario's old friends against him. Picture this: Luigi leading a parade of rogue Yoshis while Toad captains are ordering Bob-ombs around. And everytime Bowser thinks he's getting closer to Mario, there's a corrupted version of a classic Mario level boss, like Birdo spewing fireballs or a possessed Donkey Kong chucking barrels filled with Piranha Plants. The potential is endless!

lol, imagine Peach's castle but like a full-blown fortress with all those cute toads armored up ready to lay the smackdown on bowser. Bowser would be so confused, and instead of fire flowers, he's collecting power stars that buff up his turtle strength. And like Mario is mind-controlled or something, calling Peach 'My Queen' in every cutscene hahaa
