In Princess Peach Showtime, her long-awaited starring role in a game, our iconic princess takes on the challenge of saving numerous theatrical productions. She does so by seamlessly transforming into different versions of herself, each with their own unique abilities. The recently released trailer showcases some of Princess Peach's exciting potential transformations, such as Swordfighter Peach, Detective Peach, and Patisserie Peach.
Prompted by an invitation from Toad, Princess Peach eagerly decides to attend a show at the magnificent Sparkle Theater. However, the event is abruptly disrupted by Grape and their notorious gang, known as the Sour Bunch, who forcefully seize control of the entire theater. With the help of Stella, a dedicated guardian in the form of a living ribbon, Peach embarks on a courageous journey to defend the various theatrical productions from the clutches of the Sour Bunch.
Each production in the theater is associated with a unique outfit and set of abilities for Peach to wear. For instance, in a level resembling Sleeping Beauty, Peach can transform into Swordfighter Peach. In a mysterious museum setting, she can wear a detective disguise, while becoming a Patisserie chef in a bakery and defeating enemies as Kung Fu Peach. More transformations will be unveiled as the game's release date approaches. Additionally, Peach can utilize her ribbon to defend herself against enemies and solve puzzles using her basic skills. Although the game primarily involves platforming, it also incorporates puzzle and adventure game aspects.
The last game where the princess took on a leading role was Super Princess Peach for the Nintendo DS, which was released way back in 2005. Princess Peach Showtime will be available on Nintendo Switch starting March 24, 2024.
