Why Peach?

I still think that Bowser is not atrocious enough to kill Mario. It's a light-hearted series anyway, so killing Mario would simply result in a Game Over for him. I'm not sure about games where people explode a la Bowser's Inside Story, but I think deaths are minimal.

Besides, (I can't believe I'm saying this) if Bowser killed Mario, the Mario series would cease to exist.
 
The "exploding" part doesn't have to be cannon. Fawful can reappear whenever AlphaDream wants to.
 
Yeah, but I'm just saying for that part. I still think Bowser wouldn't kill Mario.
 
Nintendo would never pull off something like that. The closest they would get to is that Mario is dead and he navigates through a spiritual world to send messages to people to help revive him so he can save the mushroom world.

That would sound like a good story, nevertheless.
 
The games are made for defeat Bowser, not vice versa. So we'll never know if Bowser will kill mario (for a moment) someday (Maybe in a Mario & Luigi or a Paper Mario...)
 
I think the answer will be "never" or at least Mario will never be left permanently dead. Same with Bowser.

I can see we are drifting off-topic. What would happen if Bowser kidnaps the three major princesses instead of simply Peach?
 
Then, there would be a game named "Mario, Luigi and the Guy who's in love with Rosalina: <insert awesome title here>"
 
Hey, just because someone is rescuing Rosalina doesn't mean he has to be in love with her. He could just be doing it for the greater good
 
Well, then tell me, why Peach kisses Mario's nose after saving her from Bowser?
Or why is it implied that Luigi and Daisy are on a relationship?
Just Mario and Luigi rescues other princess for greater good, or at least Mario does since Luigi still hasn't got his adventure to save Daisy.
 
I would give any hero a reward if they save me from someone (not a kiss, though).

Yeah, Luigi hasn't got his own adventure yet where he saves Daisy, but all Mario Baseball games, he has good chemistry with her and in Mario Kart, there was this statue of Luigi. As for Peach, Mario and Luigi are in love with Peach, no doubt about it. Just look at Mario Power Tennis. Seems like Luigi has two love interests, actually
 
Talking about love interests
Since the 1st time I ended Paper Mario, I always though that Twink was in love with Peach, since he has "something to say to her, but no"
Don't you think so, too?
