"Evil" Princess Peach revealed
 

The conscept art for "Wapeach", a scrapped character for the original Mario Tennis has been revealed. Apparently it also violated an NDA or something.

She looks kinda like Doronjo, right?

"Wapeach" looks more like a sound effect than a name.

Not sure if there even a pun there but it might be case that it is intended to be. Wario and Waluigi are meant to sound like "Warui", meaning "Bad". There is no R or L is Wapeach, so I don't think it's meant to sound like Warui.

I feel like, if she was really called "Wapeach", it would have been more out of tradition, rather than pun.

As for the concept its totally lacks "evil" vibe.
She doesn't look like a femme fatale or a brat, so its hard to imagine how she would be compared to Wario and Waluigi in "evilness".
Also, she looks very generic. While looking at her counter-parts I can instantly tell they are supposed to be part of a Mario franchise, this version of Peach, can come from any other series.

They should have leaned into more gothic or bratty image. Or preferably, just keep Peach her regular age and built from that. No need to give her spikes, crooked nose or eyebags, just something channeling "bad attitude".

Sure, the character was never actually used, so it is fair to assume Wapeach is just a placeholder name.

Although, even before the design was revealed, I knew this idea was kicked around back in the day. And I've always wondered why they considered making a new character than just going with Captain Syrup?
