Princess Peach: Showtime Review

Princess Peach Showtime is an interesting spin on the character who’s normally being saved by Mario. You get to see Princess Peach in a different perspective, bringing her in as the main protagonist as opposed to a side character. It seems that in this game she is accompanied by Stella, the guardian of the Sparkle Theater in order to save the kingdom. Princess Peach is provided with Stella’s ribbon in order to fight against the antagonists.

The Transformations of Princess Peach

When the ribbon is not strong enough to defeat them, Princess Peach goes through several transformations unique in comparison to previous games created by Nintendo. Peach becomes a Cowgirl, Ninja, Swordfighter, Patisserie, Detective, and a Kung Fu Fighter which aids her in her journey to save the Theater. The ribbon holds the power of Sparkle which gives Peach the ability to heal the Theets’ the Theater’s employees and the nature of the sets.

About “Princess Peach: Showtime!” for Nintendo Switch

Princess Peach: Showtime!” is a vibrant and dynamic adventure game exclusively available on Nintendo Switch, offering players a unique blend of action, mystery, and transformational gameplay. The story unfolds with Princess Peach and her loyal Toads attending a spectacular show at the Sparkle Theater. However, the peaceful event is disrupted by the sudden appearance of the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch, who hijack the stage and the performance.

As the plot thickens, Princess Peach, aided by the theater’s guardian, Stella, must rescue the play and the day. Throughout the game, Peach harnesses the magical powers of Stella’s ribbon to challenge her foes. The ribbon’s powers alone are insufficient at times, prompting players to creatively tackle various challenges.

Adding depth and variety to the gameplay, Peach undergoes several transformations, each bestowing her with new abilities suited for specific tasks. Players will see her as Swordfighter Peach, wielding sensational swordplay to fend off enemies; Detective Peach, solving mysteries to retrieve valuable artifacts; Patisserie Peach, rescuing a sweets festival from a sugar crash; and Kung Fu Peach, reclaiming a martial arts school from the clutches of the Sour Bunch.

“Princess Peach: Showtime!” promises a series of thrilling adventures, filled with stolen shows that need saving and a plethora of transformations just waiting to be discovered. Set against a backdrop of heroic and whimsical orchestral music, the game emphasizes theatricality and performance.

This game is set to capture the hearts of players with its engaging storyline, vivid graphics, and innovative gameplay mechanics. “Princess Peach: Showtime!” debuted on March 22nd on Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders available from the Nintendo eShop.

Gameplay Battles in Princess Peach Showtime

Battle gameplay in Princess Peach Showtime completely depends on the job she is, whether is just Peach with a ribbon, or Peach with a magnifying glass or even peach with a cap. Of all Peaches fighting modes, I’d have to say I preferred SwordFighter Peach the most. A feels like a hint of keyblade (like if Peach could have been in Kingdom hearts) with sword dash moving attacks that give shadow move effects. Her basic attacks are swing, shadow step past the enemy to attack them from behind and finish with a frontal barrage of hits.
Kung Fu Peach and Ninja Peach are also good battle modes where you either use a Barrage of kicking attacks or swift moves with a thief blade as a ninja.
