About
Princess Peach Hand on Hip Pose is an animation and pose struck by the character Princess Peach in the 2005 sports video game Super Mario Strikers in which she puts one hand on her hip, one hand in the air and leans to one side, accentuating her posterior. An image of Peach striking the pose, taken from behind, gained viral spread online throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, becoming the subject of fan art, redraws and memes. In July 2024, the image became the significant subject of redraws on X / Twitter.
Origin
On November 8th, 2005, Super Mario Strikers was released in Europe and then in North America that December. The game notably features intro animations for its playable characters. Princess Peach's intro features her waving to the crowd and, at one point, placing a hand on her hip, one in the air, and leaning sideways.
A clip of Peach striking the pose was posted to YouTube as part of a Let's Play video as early as July 29th, 2011, by YouTuber[1] KoopaKungFu, garnering over 1.2 million views in 13 years (shown below). The video notably uses the screenshot of Peach striking the pose as its thumbnail and the moment where she strikes the pose is shown to be the most viewed moment.
On February 5th, 2013, DeviantArt[2] user Onikage108 posted a screenshot of the pose titled "Princess Peach Sweet Angle," garnering over 10,000 views in 11 years (shown below). This is the earliest known upload of the screenshot online.
