Not needing a hero or small man in a colourful hat to rescue her, this one is all about Princess Peach stepping into the spotlight to save the day.

Despite featuring in more than 100 Mario titles over the years, this is only the second time Princess Peach has been the leading lady of her own game. Peach fans are in for a treat as she proves she can save the day, no matter the setting.

An evening at the Sparkle Theatre is interrupted when ghoulish baddies descend on the building to take over and replace joy with their own wicked works. The theatre staff desperately need help to defeat the gruesome Grape and his malevolent troupe, the Sour Bunch.

The theatre’s guardian, Stella, gives Peach a magical ribbon that transforms Peach to be an expert on the different theatre themes; these include Cowgirl Peach, Detective Peach and Pâtissière Peach.

The good: Ten transformations are in store for players which keeps things interesting. Cowgirl Peach is a rope-slinging, horse-riding racer, while Pâtissière Peach is working against the clock to create perfectly decorated sweet treats. Controls are simple and characters intriguing, any player is sure to find something they enjoy.

The not-so-good: There isn’t much not to like in this fun, bright game. Older or committed gamers may find it slow, while younger players and those who like a slow pace will be able to spend hours exploring different sets.

Simple and sweet, doesn’t require too much thought process from an adult player- would be perfect for a young, budding gamer. 4 stars.
