I'm okay with a "Super Mario Origins" type movie where he starts out as just some guy and slowly becomes a hero over the course of the movie. It's not like he was born with the abilities and knowledge he has today.
But having Peach be an epic action girl is just such an eyeroller it makes me not want to watch this. It's a hallmark of bad writing these days. Maybe twenty years ago it would have been cool, but now it's overdone to the point where not having her be better than everyone else would be a subversion.
If they wanted to do the embarrassing "girl power" shit they could have at least had it be Daisy showing him the ropes. It matches her personality better. I don't think anybody, including the staunchest Mario purist, would have been upset about a movie where Daisy and Mario have to rescue the mushroom kingdom. But it's just stupid when Peach is doing it.
They need to make a realistic action movie with a realistic strong female, who does fine in training, expert shot, then when taking enemy fire she freaks out, has a panic attack and crumples, only to have some less skilled marksman man from training save her with his cool head in the moment.
alternatively going beserk is likely in that situation too which can also require outside assistance to stop them from getting killed and/or taking the whole team with them as a beserk combatent will not follow orders well or at all leading to broken formations and smashed plans with a helping of bumbling into obvious trap.
hell wouldnt a toad make more sense here? daisy personality wise would be perfect but why would she be there perhaps forign deplomicy of some sort but thats shakey at best... then again gurl power peach. would be funny if this peach is bowser in disguse trying to crush a precived threat with bad advice and training only for it to backfire and work anyway.

Can't have a female character in any mainstream production that isn't a mary sue.
"Dude why do you hate the new Lord of the Rings series?"
It's not true to the lore and the main female character is a mary sue with no real redemptive arc.
