A few days ago, on the Nintendo Today! App, the Big N dropped this major bombshell on the world, revealing that the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Italian plumber are simply "good friends". We missed the initial post, but thankfully, KirPinkFury has us covered.

Aside from some smooches on the cheek, there isn't a ton of direct evidence that Mario and Peach have ever been romantically involved, but a guy usually doesn't storm castles and fight evil turtle dragons time after time for just "a good friend." Just saying.

Many have taken this relationship for granted for decades, but, in the company's own words, it is very different from how some imagined it.
