Samantha Kelly is still the voice of Princess Peach in Princess Peach: Showtime

Just in case you had any doubts, Samantha Kelly is still the voice actor for Princess Peach in Princess Peach: Showtime.

Kelly has been voicing Peach – as well as Toad – since the Wii and DS era. A number of others handled the role over the years, but Kelly has been around the longest at this point.

Confirmation was provided by Kelly herself. One fan asked previously asked her at an expo if she’s voicing Peach. Very quickly, Kelly said that’s the case.

Some may have had questions about who’s the voice actress for Princess Peach in Showtime given recent voice actor changes for the Mario franchise. Last year, Kevin Afghani took over for Charles Martinet. Afghani is lending his talents for characters such as Mario, Luigi, and Wario. His first games were Super Mario Bros. Wonder and WarioWare: Move It.

Martinet will no longer be providing his voice for Nintendo games, but was named the “Mario Ambassador”. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto previously stated that “Charles will continue to travel around the world and meet fans, performing the familiar voices at events, signing autographs, and enjoying interacting with you all.”

Princess Peach: Showtime will be available for Switch on March 22, 2024. You can check out a new trailer here and some new gameplay here.
