Peach is a recurring character and ally of the Mario franchise, and normally appears as the damsel in distress of the mainline games.
Tied with Yoshi, she is by far the strongest character in the game outside of Battle Mode thanks to her overall stronger speed, acceleration and drifting potential which more than makes up for her lower weight and weaker speed retention from regular handling.

Overview
Peach pretty much have the same strengths as Yoshi, thus making her equally as meta-defining as him thanks to her faster speed and recovery potential.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Increased Speed: Outside of Battle Mode, Peach passively has an internal increase of +4 to her speed value, which makes her not only naturally faster, but also viable for Time Trials.
Good Triple Tap: Her Triple Tapping capabilities paired with a stronger base acceleration than any non-lightweight gives Peach better recovery potential overall.
Sharp Handling: Akin to the other lightweights, Peach's sharper turning angle means she can take driftless corners better than heavies and middleweights alike.
Better Off-Road: While boost items should still even the playing field to some extent, having access to stronger off-road capabilities means shroomless cuts becomes a much more viable strategy as a result of it.
Low Weight: Her durability, while being on-par with Yoshi, still only outdoes one character in Toad, and will make her struggle against half of the cast, which is especially significant in Battle Mode, where she will have to rely that much more on her sharp steering and Triple Tapping to stand a chance.
Handling Speed Loss: Peach loses more speed from turning without drifting than any middleweight or heavyweight would have, which means she'll have to rely more on pure drifting to maintain his velocity.
Movelist
Accelerate
● Higher top speed. Equal to Yoshi and Toad. ● Better off-road. Beats any non-lightweight. ● Highest base acceleration in the game by far. Equal to the other lightweights.
A
Triple Tap A
● Fastest Triple Tap thanks to a higher TTA modifier and base acceleration. ● Again, it is equalised with the other lightweights.
AAA
Spin-Turn Mode
● Powerful swerving, but is notably difficult to control.
[AB]
Steer
● Marginally higher turn angle when compared to the Mario Brothers. ● Speed retention while steering is weaker than average.
4-6 / 🢀🢂
Drift
● Higher drift speed thanks to a slightly increased base speed attribute. ● Otherwise equalised in core attributes, like the rest of the cast.
