Samantha Kelly (born June 14, 1967) is an American voice actress best known for doing the voices of Princess Peach, Toad, Toadette, and Baby Peach from 2007 to 2025. She is mostly just credited as Sam Kelly in some games.

Biography[]

Samantha Kelly was born in Nairobi, Kenya and has lived in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Germany. She has been married to Carlos Roland since August 12, 2005. They have two children. She was previously married to Scott D. Fralick from November 24, 1990 until they divorced on October 11, 2002. Prior to video games, she has done voiceover work for Nordstrom and other commercials. After Jennifer Taylor left the role of Princess Peach and Nicole Mills filled in as the temporary voice, an agent had Kelly audition for the role and she was chosen.

Though she did not voice Peach and Toad in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (who are instead voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy and Keegan-Michael Key, respectively), some Toads in the movie utter reused voice clips of Kelly's portrayal of the Toad species.

On June 6, 2025, a day following the release of Mario Kart World, Kelly announced that she would no longer be voicing Princess Peach and Toad, as Nintendo recast the role for both characters. The final Mario games in which she recorded new voice lines were Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Toads and Toadette and Princess Peach: Showtime! for Princess Peach.
