Product Description
Princess Peach must save the play as she takes the spotlight in her very own action game. Princess Peach and some loyal Toads are about to enjoy a performance at the Sparkle Theater when the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch bust on the scene to flip the script! These bad actors kidnap the stars of each play, terrorize the other cast and crew, and leave Peach trapped inside as they steal the show.

To curtain-call this tragedy, Peach must team up with the theater's guardian, Stella. Using the power of Sparkle, Peach must take the stage of each play inside the Sparkle Theater and transform to match the performance. Each transformation changes up the action and comes with its own abilities for Peach to use against Grape’s evil acting troupe. Only by clearing all the floors and rescuing the star actors can she truly save the theater!

Play like a princess and transform into leading roles with showstopping abilities. Fend off the Sour Bunch as Swordfighter Peach as you slash and dodge attacks—en garde! Whisk up some tasty treats as Patissiere Peach and see just how quickly you can decorate a cake.

Wrangle your foes with a lasso as Cowgirl Peach, hurl buses and slam foes with super strength as Mighty Peach, synchronize your spins with other performers as Figure Skater Peach, and more! Each transformation gives Peach a dramatic entrance and the abilities she needs to take back each play.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Showtime!
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024
Decades after her lackluster debut game on Nintendo DS, Princess Peach finally gets to headline a game worthy or her character. If you had the opportunity to download the demo on the Switch eShop you've got a pretty good idea of what you're getting with PPS. It's most definitely style over substance, but oh what style it is! It's one of the prettiest Nintendo Switch games I've seen, with lots of bright colors and beautiful, fluid animations. Stages offer a variety of things to see with prop-like environments, all themed in conjunction with the transformations she uses in said stages. The villain-of-the-week here, "Grape", isn't the most memorable but she's designed charmingly and I liked the fruit-centric name chosen for Peach's nemesis.
Don't get me wrong about the gameplay. Though simplistic, that's not to say it isn't well done. PPS is just aimed at a younger audience as evidenced by the low bar of difficulty and ease of control. There are a few secrets and easter eggs strewn about for completionists. Nothing that will make you break a sweat, but I'm sure you'll be smiling nonetheless.
Everything comes together in a package that's very Nintendo, which is to say that although Showtime isn't a high profile release, it IS a high quality release. The flourishes of studio Good-Feel are apparent all over, from general presentation to music. While on the subject I found the music tracks here to be of excellent quality. A few tracks felt like someone had mixed some Disney in with my Ninty. They're beautifully orchestrated for a fantasy adventure like Showtime, ranging from whimsical to punchy when the moods change.
I would definitely recommend Princess Peach Showtime to younger audiences, Nintendo-enthusiasts, and above all Peach fans like myself. Despite a lack of true challenge, it was a fun time, and that's what we play games for!

I have always loved this character and have always being my nintendo avatar so of course I would purchase this game.

It's great for kids because is simple and forgiving for mistakes or bad play so it would be fun for them. For seasoned players or just players who have played any Mario Platform game, this would be too easy, so don't expect much on that side.

I just finished it yesterday and of course I recommend it if you don't mind being entertained for a while with not much of a challenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Showtime is fun and Charming! Only lacks length.

After 19 years, almost 20 if we count the 2004 Japanese first release, Nintendo has given Peach another game since Super Princess Peach!
It's fun, cute and nice to play. Each stage-play plays differently with the simple button mechanics but it isn't bad because of it.

Veterans are going to breeze through it, which I wouldn't recommend. Not because it's easy (there's a little challenge in the later half) but because the set up is indeed like an actual play, ment to take your time and enjoy the show.

Difficulty ramps up on the second stages of each play. And for more challenge, there are EX plays for certain transformations.

I wasn't surpised that it didn't take me a long time to beat it, the difficulty(although short) is there and if you like stage plays you'll definitely love this!

As for Cons: I enjoyed my time in the plays, but the game as a whole just feels too short. All the ideas feel nicely fleshed out but just needed to be longer.

However, I haven't as of time of this review, finished all the EX stages or collected all the sparkles, which definitely feels where most the challenge lie. But I found myself rushing to see what each transformation was like first lol.

Overall, if you like a simple, easy to play time at the lovely Theet theater, this is the game for you, your child or whoever you want to play it!
