If you are an experienced player and want to embark on the new adventure of the princess Mushroom As “Nintendo’s new platformer,” you might find it a bit short. Although the company has been releasing games in the genre that are more accessible to all audiences (mainly ones starring Kirby) for decades, this is a much stronger statement of intent. In other words: Princess Peach: Showtime! is a beautiful theatrical adventure that is mainly conceived for new players, whether big or small, who want to be right in the middle of it all. Of course the waste of Fan service For princess lovers, the controls more than make up for the lack of challenge.
That and the staging. Let’s start there. Given that each level is a game and that Peach is determined to save it Magnificent theatre already those Bambalinos out of Malgurie spread by the twisted Ms. GrapeEach level is designed as a theater piece in which everyone, whether evil, good or Peach herself, plays a role. And although we have already seen a good handful of video games inspired by theater or puppets (Puppet Master certainly comes to mind), we are probably facing the best homage to the world of theater played out in this medium , and, incidentally, in front of an “interpretive” portrayal of Peach herself, which has never been seen before (aside from the Super Mario Bros. movie).
The presentation is simply fantastic and the highlight of the entire game. The loading screen is the curtain, the call horn sounds so that everyone sits quietly in their seats, and the curtains open to reveal how everything is arranged on the stage, with its props, its hanging thread elements or its focuses, the latter with special attention to it , to follow the protagonists or to highlight something specific. The play also radiates love for theater in its script, in the fact that the shone (the kidnapped actors) or in the magnificent building where the adventure takes place. There are details everywhere, including brief behind-the-scenes forays into Peach collecting additional items, while on the other hand, the music, which is also very good, is muted.

The playable Chichas are the works themselves. The structure, like the rest of the game, is very well explained. There are ten roles that the princess wants to take on in the absence of the original actors. These roles are actually transformations that give you powers or abilities within the fantasy world, namely:
- Peach espadachina
- Peach Repostera
- Peach Sirena
- Peach Cowgirl
- Peach Kung Fu
- Peach Ninja
- Peach superheroine
- Stealth Peach
- Peach skaters
- Peach Detective
With this in mind, there is a first or introductory work in which the Princess tries out her new role, another in which she already demonstrates her acting mastery and another dedicated to the rescue of the current Esplendi from the clutches of Grape and dedicated to his painting. This approach is very good because the player knows what to expect and because the work is ongoing Vary the style and pace of the game

Still, there are always great moments and some really funny and outstanding transformations. “Peach Kung-Fu” is a delight for the author because he has practiced the martial art and sees how respectful his movements are, while “Peach Skater” is absolutely stunning and very original in its mechanics. The same thing happens with Detective, Pastry Chef or Mermaid, which change the expectations of an action and platform game with mechanics such as deduction, pastry mini-games (Cooking Mama style) or fish control and singing.
Although this Skater Peach surpasses Elsa from Frozen in charm for any Nintendo fan, the game may leave you feeling a bit like a Disney and Pixar princess complex. We won’t say what Peach can become, but apart from Elsa, it sometimes seemed to us that we had Ariel from The Little Mermaid, The Incredibles and even Jessie from Toy Story.
Aside from the levels that are hard or repetitive because the mechanics or ideas no longer work (including some rather bad bosses), we have other issues with design and design issues Performance
After completing Princess Peach: Showtime! The practical absence of difficulties is not the main disadvantage. In fact it is one excellent game for beginners and we can confirm that children love it. It is varied, has very original ideas and some very good moments, but the most mediocre levels, the corsets and the lack of technical finesse prevent our unanimous applause.
