This time around, Peach is tasked with exploring a theater stage version of the Mushroom Kingdom to stop the Wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch from ruining the Sparkle Theater’s stage productions with the help of the theater’s guardian Stella.
Princess Peach: Showtimeseems to fully embrace its theatrical gimmick, with the game’s levels resembling a stage with cardboard sets and scenery abound in a way that brings to mind theclassic GameCube titlePaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Peach will don various costumes to play different roles in the ongoing story, gaining special abilities to help her navigate the environment, solve puzzles, and defeat her enemies. Many of these forms were already shown off during September’s Nintendo Direct livestream, which shed more light on the game’s plot and how these costumes work.
The most recentPrincess Peach: Showtimetrailer, which was posted to the official Nintendo of America YouTube account earlier this week, has revealed two more new looks for its titular heroine. The first is Ninja Peach, which sees her don a black and green garb to sneak past enemies using fake tree branches, perform nimble wall jumps, and unleash stealthy attacks from behind. There is also Cowgirl Peach, in which she trades her pink princess dress for a Western-style hat and outfit that grants her access to a lasso for tossing opponents off the stage and a prop horse for speedy chases.
This newest trailer also featuresPrincess Peach: Showtime’s previously revealed alternate formsin action. The musketeer-like Swordfighter Peach uses a rapier to cut down her foes, Detective Peach enables her to search for clues to puzzles with a handy magnifying glass, Parissiere Peach bakes delicious desserts to help save the local Sweets Festival, and Kung Fu Peach unleashes punishing martial arts on any evil-doers in her way.
