That was the biggest flaw in the Mario movie. Her saying Mario isn't important and that she passed that test on her 1st try were just 2 awful femcel things that could have been removed with having no real effect on the story and doing nothing but benefit it.
They didn't need to make all the changes you suggest- just not do their thing of trying to counter the damsel in distress "trope" they hate (even though Mario is one of the biggest hits in VG history) by swinging the pendulum in the complete opposite direction by making her a Mary Sue & trying to demean Mario to make her look better.
Their attack on Mario backfired, he just looked better by overcoming being small and the challenges that exist in literally a completely different world. Peach just came across as a female power fantasy instead of an interesting character.
