20 Years Ago Today, Nintendo Broke A Major Mario Tradition

Twenty years ago today, on February 27, 2006, Princess Peach finally took center stage in her own full-length adventure with Super Princess Peach. Unlike most Mario games, this one put Peach in the role of rescuer, tasking her with saving Mario and Luigi from Bowser. Though the game wasn’t perfect, it has a lot of appealing qualities, especially looking back – which makes it disappointing that Peach hasn’t had more opportunities to be the hero.
