“Princess Peach: Showtime!” is endlessly charming and perfect for kids. But its gameplay and technical limitations leave a little to be desired.
, the first princess of video games is in a new title that definitively answers, “Yes, a woman can have it all.”
So it is heartwarming to see Peach finally “have it all” in 2024, especially after Anya Taylor-Joy’s wonderful portrayal in last year’s blockbuster film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” The premise is simple: This theater full of magical beings that put on performances is overrun by a dark force, and Peach will take on each “stage” as the lead performer, becoming the hero of every story, whether she’s a sheriff of the Old West, a thief with a code of honor or a dancing pastry chef.
Veteran players will find little new here outside of Peach’s charming animations. Many of these levels are closer to minigames. The pastry chef levels about decorating cakes evoke “Mario Party” more than “Mario Bros.” The mechanical limitations do restrict the inventiveness of play possible. “Showtime!” is akin to the Kirby games, with more challenging levels tucked away at the end.Good thing that some of these performances can be breathtaking.
