Yes, in a statement on the Nintendo Today! app (me neither), Nintendo announced as a daily tidbit, "Princess Peach and Mario are good friends and help each other out whenever they can". Which might not sound like a particularly controversial statement – but the internet isn't buying the 'friends' bit. Not one bit.
