Well mario never actually kisses peach,always has a strained smiles around mario,and has a "close" relationship to some of the other princesses.

Peach is not lesbian. LGTB characters weren't usual in the 80s and 90s, and Mario was created in 1985. Super Mario saga was created for kids (but no kids only) and if LGTB characters were scarce then, they were specially in kids entertainment.

other example outside the Marioverse: some people says Tintin and Captain Haddock are gays because they live together and haven't got girlfriend. But they can't be gays since Hergé was a catholic and homosexuality is a sin (so he would have never created gay heroes). There were close friends and that's all. Why Tintin and Haddock never had a girlfriend? Because it wasn't necesary for their adventures.

In the same way, Peach always kiss Mario in a cheek and Mario don't kiss her because is enought to the purpose of the game: Peach fits with the damsel in distress trope and Mario with the hero trope, and for Nintendo, that's enought. The game don't need to get deep in their relationship, because the purpose of the game is to pass the levels, get the secrets and etc.

You know in actuality there are two separate terms, homosexual and homoromantic. I think in a kids' series everyone is asexual by default but their romantic affiliations are well whatever the character artist wants to make them be. Peach would technically be heteroromantic by this definition.

I know people say lesbian and homosexual when discussing children's characters for the sake of simplicity without delving into jargon but I thought I'd post this to let others know.

"No because no"

Honestly, there's been trans characters (Birdo and Vivian), so it isn't a stretch to say that there is lesbian/gay/bi characters as well. And it may or may not be Peach. It's all up to interpretation.

Well the manual might have had mentioning of Birdo's gender stuff but every other adaptation (and subsequent reappearance) has mostly gone out of it's way to bury that ever being a thing. So by and large the point still stands, more often then not kids media avoid stuff like that, or at least did at the time.
