SkunkyArt | DepthDropper — Princess Power-Ups

Stool: Peach's original name was "Princess Toadstool. A sudden joke reference gave birth to this idea, and now she's a literal Toad stool!

P-Balloon: A classic wacky Mario World power-up. It normally inflates the user into a balloon, and Peach here has really taken the transformation to heart!

Cube: MM has expressed that they're a big fan of my "A New Kind of Power-Up" video and wanted to make a little reference to it. You can see the little block mushroom there too! A charitable reference my friend. And the blushing Thwomp was their hilarious addition too!

Taffy/Candy: I've mentioned to MM how much I love their taffy puller TFs. Just the way they make the victims look all stretched and mixed up while still retaining their important features is so perfect! Of course, I wanted to see this to happen to Peach as well. While discussing this idea, we also remembered that there were actual candy power-ups in Mario Party 8, so we decided to make Peach become one! It kept in the power-up theme as well.

Cannon: Pretty much everyone who has played Super Mario 64 knows that Peach has a cannon outside of her castle. But this funny idea came from, what if she was the cannon? MM even made Mario all blocky and polygonal just like he was in the game as well! Nice touch!

Spring: Remember that Spring Mushroom power-up from Super Mario Galaxy? Well what if Peach was the spring that powered Mario up? This is what is would look like!

Stretch: I've mentioned how much I think Peach is like gum before. Squishy, stretchy and soft, so I thought it would be nice to see her stretched out like it. MM had this great idea of two Smash players fighting over her default costume, and stretching her out in an attempt to claim it for themselves! I never would have thought of that myself. MM is just that creative!

Disc: It doesn't get as classic as Peach flattened into a disc! I asked if MM could show off both sides of the Peach pancake, and not only did they deliver, they added a nice little reference to the Mario Party game "Booksquirm" too. A fitting way to show both sides of a flattened princess!

Melt: The Fire Flower is a classic power-up in Mario too. And Peach's interaction with it? What could be more fitting than a melt? I've expressed to MM how much I love how they do melts too, so I just had to see it done to Peach here!

Trampled Flat: Since this sheet has a lot of Melee themes in it, I was brought back to that part of the opening where the Yoshis are stampeding. It's also Yoshi's Final Smash in Smash Ultimate. Of course it got me wondering, "What would really happen to Peach if she got caught in that?" This is the result! I also wanted to specifically reference that one scene in Spongebob where Squidward got trampled by customers going to the Krusty Krab. He gets really smooshed and spread, and I always thought that kind of spread would look great on a squishy girl. Perhaps you remember it?

Ball: Another Smash themed TF. I wanted a ball TF, and we thought that Peach being molded by a party ball would be a fun take on the idea! She's quite the party prize, no?

Sheet: A simple yet effective flattening, relating loosely to Smash again. If anything is capable of rolling Peach flat like paper in that game, it would be one of those giant barrels!

Couch: The last of the power-up themed TFs. And this one's a bit funny. Many of you know that there's a Tanooki Leaf power-up that turns you into a Tanooki. But here, Peach mistook an Animal Crossing leaf as a power-up, and the result is her body being transformed into a piece of furniture! She still seems proud of her new form though!
