Before the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Peach went to a trip through the entire Mushroom Kingdom. They had a stop at [[Rogueport]] to refill their ship's fuel. On the market, she met an old saleswoman, presumably one of the [[Shadow Sirens]]. They had decided that Peach would be the best body for their bodiless [[Shadow Queen]], who was locked up behind the [[Thousand-Year Door]] for exactly thousand years by the time of the game. They gave Peach the [[Magical Map]], as she had a pure heart, which was needed to be able to open the chest of the map. The Shadow Sirens then tricked the alien [[Sir Grodus]] into capturing Peach and animating the Shadow Queen with her body. Before this happened, however, Peach had already sent the Magical Map to Mario, inviting him on a treasure hunt.

Peach was taken to the [[X-Naut Fortress]] on the [[Moon]]. While both Mario and, unsuccessfully, Bowser searched for the Crystal Stars to rescue her, the princess became active herself in the fortress. The base's main computer, the [[TEC-XX]], fell in love with her due to a short circuit in its system, and betrayed Grodus to help Peach escape. He allowed her to send an e-mail to Mario at regular intervals. By the computer's orders, Peach dressed up as an X-Naut to question Grodus, and also made herself an invisibility potion to find out even more about Grodus's plans. However, Grodus had TEC shut down when he found out, and took Peach to the [[Palace of Shadow]]. Mario followed, and he met up with Grodus in the room right before the tomb of the Shadow Queen. Grodus confronted Mario, and was prepared to kill Peach if Mario made a false move. However, Bowser crashed through the ceiling and fell on top of Grodus. While Mario and Bowser were fighting, Grodus took Peach down to the tomb and offered her as a body for the Shadow Queen. The ancient 1000-year old demon then possessed Peach, but refused to take Grodus's orders, nearly killing him. The Shadow Queen engaged battle with Mario and his partners. However, she found Peach's body too weak and returned to her true form (a purple shadow creature) for the final battle. Peach was able to give her powers to Mario for this. She could talk out of the Shadow Queen's body as the demon was weakened by the encouraging voices of the entire population of the Rogueport area, which were brought to the basement of the Palace of Shadow by the magic of the Crystal Stars. In the end, the Shadow Queen was defeated and Peach was restored. In the game's post-credits scene, Peach came to [[Mario's House]], telling him she found yet another map and wanted to invite Mario on another treasure hunt. Shocked, Mario fainted.
