An unused/beta costume for Peach from Mario Strikers Charged (Football). This texture is supposed to be applied whenever Peach is due to face an opponent with a pink colour scheme who is higher priority than her. It also gives the sidekicks an unused blue and yellow pallette!
Since there are no other teams that use pink at all, Peach can never be a low priority pink player, and this alternate colour scheme goes completely unused! Moreover, other characters, such as Luigi, Mario, Waluigi, and Wario, do not have alternate outfits at all, making this all the more unusual. I wonder if they ever planned to have another pink captain? And who could it have been?
I found this while briefly digging around the menus in Mario Strikers Charged, it didn't take long to find at all. I looked around the Internet to see if there'd been any mention of this before, I found one image of the outfit, but it wasn't an in-game image. Nor did they show the sidekicks, and I haven't seen any videos either, so I thought I'd make one!
Originally I got the blue Peach outfit to manifest by spawning two Peach captains in one match (and fixing a few null pointer exceptions that arise from doing so), but then I was able to simplify the process somewhat by making the game think Luigi is pink. Luigi is a very high priority character, so Peach always yields and becomes blue instead.
The menus for blue Peach only partially work, but gameplay works almost flawlessly; with the exception of saving megastrikes, that is. I haven't been able to write a good cheat code to make her appear every single time, but I'll be working on that.
Thanks for watching!
