Smash Bros. really goes deep and is full of countless references you will probably miss
unless you are specifically looking for them and know each character extremely well. In
this Crazy Connections miniseries I will cover all of the Smash Bros. fighters' costumes
so far. Please note, when I say secondary I am referring to Brawl's order of costumes
if applicable.
Peach's default color matches how she has always been portrayed in official art.
Peach's second color references Daisy. In Brawl it references Daisy in color alone,
however in Melee, it is a full alternate costume with her skin tone darkening to pre-white
washed Daisy. Not that Daisy was ever incredibly dark skinned, but she has gotten whiter with
time. Her dress and jewelry also changed to that of Daisy and her crown changed to be
identical to Daisy's. It was the melee take on Mario Party 3 era Daisy.
Peach's third is most likely her Red form from Mario Golf, however it resembles Pauline,
Grace and to an extent Birdo as well. Peach's fourth again is based on the blue
color she had from Mario Golf, but it does resemble adult... or more adult Grace too.
It also could reference plum given the violet jewelry. Remember a color swap can reference
multiple things, so it is possible these all are references.
Peach's fifth color also references Mario Golf and her green costume.
Peach's sixth and final color references the dress she wore during Super Mario Bros. Her
fire form is coincidentally a much closer recreation of her NES sprite. Wait... she
had firepower the whole game... what a lazy b-
