    Default Poll: How Many People Played as Princess Peach in SMB2?

    I didn't get a lot of responses to my earlier post about my Gender in Video Games project, but after talking to a few people I know about the project and one of them mentioning how popular a character Peach was in SMB2 for both girls and boys, I'm hoping I can get enough people in a poll to actually use it as research. (Because the 4 people I talked to who said they used Peach isn't enough ) So answer away! Thanks in advance for your cooperation! Wee

    I used her once and a while.

    Mario was my main stay character.

    Shit yeah I used Toadstool. The world 4 with all the towers was soooo much shorter with her float.

    Conversely, who the hell used Toad outside of the "digging" levels?

    I never use her. It has nothing to do with the fact that she is <gasp> a girl, it's just that I didn't dig on the floating. I used to use Luigi exclusively, but I use Mario a lot now too.

    I used whoever was the best for each level. Teamwork is where it's at

    I always used Peach for every level when I was younger. Her floating seemed to make things so much easier. I guess a lot of young boys wouldn't want to play as a princess. Didn't seem to bother me!

    Now when I play I use all the characters to keep it interesting.

    I split time between Luigi and the Princess. Sometimes Toad, when I didn't feel like not sucking.

    I rarely ever used Toadstool. Or Toad. Or even Luigi... It's Mario all the way, baby! :P

    LMAO, I actually use both names in the project. I'm working on the outline so far and I put it as Princess Toadstool/Peach. I still don't understand the name change *shrug*

    These are all excellent responses, more or less what I expected. Thanks a LOT people!!! I appreciate it.

    Why the hell should my gender dictate who I can play as in a videogame?

    Anyway, Princess TOADSTOOL was my 2nd favourite player-selectable character in that game (Luigi I my favourite, thanks to his jumping skills).

    I played Peach from time to time but mainly stuck with Toad. For some reason, I just love playing as Toad in the Mario Brother games that offer him as a playable character. But I must say, Peachs' floating ability is quite nice but then evil in some situations.

    I used her most of the time. Her floating just made the game easier, and I remember some places where you could skip parts of the levels with her. Plus, I just kind of liked her.

    As a guy, I've never had a problem playing female characters in games. When I have a choice in a survival horror game or RPG like Romancing Saga, I'll usually pick a female first. My first Romancing Saga playthrough was Aisha.

    Peach's floating ability made parts of the game very, very easy. Great for a game where you had to play through in one sitting to finish (or leave your NES on all night, like I did on my first successful playthrough on SMB3).

    Peach was my first choice, then Luigi because of the aforementioned high jump (Luigi also makes SMB2J less of a pain in the ass, but only a little bit). Mario, and Toad... not so much.

    Good luck with your project.
