Peach's arc is not being able to escape, but finding creative ways to subvert Bowser and help the Marios. This could be getting information about his plans to the Bros, making Bowser doubt himself and make mistakes, and securing the power star for the final encounter.
Paper Mario (and TTYD) both had really good characterization. The Peach interludes between chapters are great. It's a shame what happened to the series.
I never played Paper Mario, lol, it just seemed like the most logical way to give Peach some character.
Truthfully, I'm with MatPat in that I think Peach is actually a super-human kami/goddess who created the Toads and allows herself to be captured because she's entertained watching Mario try to save her, but that's a pretty boring character.
Paper Mario did almost exactly this.

One would hope when the Super Mario RPG remake does well commercially, Nintendo finally gets the memo people want a traditional RPG Paper Mario game.
Nintendo isn't capable of actually understanding what people want from things that unfold.
That's why they took the failure of Star Fox Zero to mean that people just didn't want Star Fox, instead of people didn't want motion controls.
