Exploring Peach’s Costume Diversity in ‘Princess Peach Showtime!’

Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom who even fascinates our superhero Mario. She is depicted in many works as a heroine who is kidnapped by Bowser and rescued by Mario.

However, in “Princess Peach Showtime!” released for Nintendo Switch, Peach becomes the main character of the play and plays an active role as the main character, progressing through different stages depending on the play, such as action and mystery. In this work, Peach gains the ability to transform through the “glitter power” of her supporter, the fairy “Stella”. She shows off a completely different look from her usual style, with a transformation bank that makes her look like she's from a magical girl anime.

Therefore, in this article, we will pick up 10 different costumes that Peach will change into on “Princess Peach Showtime!”! We will introduce not only the appearance characteristics but also the game style that changes greatly depending on the transformation.

His appearance is just like the swordsman from the story! “Swordsman Peach”

In the stage play “Swordsman and the Castle of Thorns”, Peach's transformation style that is first seen in this work is “Swordsman”.

Peach's costume is a very rare men's fashion, and the splendid and dashing appearance of scattering rose petals is not the princess seen in the story, but the swordsman who comes to rescue the princess.

The game style is action, and you can press the jump button to evade or parry enemy attacks. You can perform combo attacks just by pressing the attack button repeatedly, so you can have fun just swinging your sword aimlessly!

Fighting with a sword is very rare in the Mario series, so even though you're a standard swordsman job, you can use it in a fresh way.

Even the hairstyle looks delicious! ? “Patissier Peach”

A “patisserie chef'' who can make cakes and cookies that rival the professionals and make the characters “Caston'' who appear in this work smile.

This is my favorite transformation for pastry chefs. Because a hairstyle like Pon de Ring is too cute! Coupled with the transformation bank that looks like a magical girl anime, it gives you the feeling that it has the heart of the Heisei girls who are currently trending.

In Pastry Chef Peach, you will compete against the enemies of this work, the Grape Troupe members, in making sweets. Mix cookie dough with a button press, or decorate a cake with a long press.

…Many of you may remember the formula of Princess Peach x Cake = Detergent Cake. Check out “Mario Story'' for more details.

He has completely mastered that path… “Kung Fu Peach”

In Kung Fu style, you can unleash kicks so powerful they can crush rocks and wipe out your enemies. This game is basically a side-scrolling action game, so use kicks to knock down enemies lined up horizontally like dominoes!

During the battle with the mid-boss, there are scenes where a full-fledged super-fast QTE is suddenly included. Her kung fu stance is perfect, and you can't help but follow her ponytail that sways every time she walks.

We will not create unsolved cases! “Detective Peach”

Peach also becomes a “detective'' who uses her Sherlock Holmes-like powers of observation and investigation to help solve cases.

Like a detective, take your assistant Caston with you and use “Omi-to-oshi Attack” on suspicious areas. Just like in an adventure game, it is important not to miss any clues in order to solve the case.

Not only does the classic detective style look great on him, but Peach's gentlemanly manner as he bows while saying “off course” is a must-see!
