Princess Peach: Showtime Review

Princess Peach: Showtime reviewed by Logan Plant on Nintendo Switch. Princess Peach: Showtime is more closely aligned with Kirby and Yoshis simple, cheery romps rather than Marios polished platformers and Luigis haunted mansions. Theres fun to be found in the Sparkle Theater, as these delightfully simplified takes on some of gamings most popular genres are entertaining to blast through, and the whimsical stage play aesthetic gives Peachs game an identity all its own. Im also thrilled that Nintendo is finally giving Peach another crack at her own solo outing after nearly two decades, and I hope this is the start of an ongoing spinoff series within the wider Mario universe. Some noticeable performance issues and the frustrating lack of a chapter select means I wont be returning for an encore, and I wish there were a few extra levels to lengthen the somewhat brief campaign, but Nintendo and Princess Peach at least know how to put on a good show.
