[[File:PPS Sparkle Theater Arrival.png|thumb|left|200px|Peach and the Toads arriving at the Sparkle Theater.]]
The game has a stage play-themed setting. It takes place in a venue called [[Sparkle Theater]], which a [[Toad]] invited Peach to. Once they arrive, a witch called [[Grape (character)|Grape]] takes over the theater. Peach and the theater's guardian [[Stella]] team up to take back the theater by battling Grape's minions, the [[Sour Bunch]]. At the beginning of the game, Stella gives Peach usage of [[Sparkle]] power, tying her hair in a ponytail with a magenta bow in the place of her usual [[Peach's Crown|crown]], which she lost when Grape showed up. Stella can turn into a long ribbon Peach can use to interact with on-stage elements, such as props and characters. When she stands on a particular spot on the stage, Peach is capable of transforming into various costume-like forms that match the current play's setting, such as [[Swordfighter Peach]], [[Detective Peach]], [[Patissiere Peach]], and [[Kung Fu Peach]]. Every form has her own gameplay style, such as Swordfighter Peach using a rapier or Kung Fu Peach doing martial arts moves.<ref name=SepDirect/>

There are ten types of plays with three levels each, with the first one introducing its transformation. The third level of each theme is located in the basement, where all the Sparklas, the stars of each show, are trapped. To complete the level, Peach has to find and rescue the captured Sparklas and then work alongside them to reach the exit.

To complete the level, Peach has to find and rescue the captured Sparklas and then work alongside them to reach the exit.
Collected coins are added to a collective tally after each time a level is completed, and are used to buy outfits at the [[Lobby Shop]]. The maximum number of coins the tally can reach is 9999.

===Health points===
By default, Peach has a maximum of five [[Heart Point|HP]] during a show, shown as hearts above her head and in the pause menu. Hearts are lost when taking damage from enemies, falling down, being caught up during some auto-scrolling sections, or failing a [[Strike of Intuition]]. Hearts can be regained by interacting with certain sceneries, after doing certain tasks, or found at certain spots in levels. The "Rehearsal" bonus levels start her off with one HP, and she cannot gain more hearts during those levels.
[[File:PPS Heart Charm.png|thumb|32px|left]]
The game also offers Peach to put on a [[Heart Charm]], which increases the HP maximum to eight. It is offered, and can be removed, by a Staff Member [[Theet]] in the upper left of the 1F circle stairs. Stella can also offer it to Peach if she runs out of hearts twice in the same section of a show. There are no known negative effects of using the Heart Charm, besides the extra hearts being shown as green.
The game does not have a life system. As a result, there are no Game Overs or being booted out of shows. If Peach runs out of hearts, she is deducted 10 [[File:PPS show coin.png|16px|link=Coin]] [[coin]]s and is returned to the start of the section or the nearest previous checkpoint.
===Technical aspects===
The game runs in 720p at 30fps in handheld mode, and in 900p at 30fps in docked mode. Different aspects may render at different resolutions: text and menus can render at full target resolution, while highly detailed 3D models like Princess Peach's standard mode are rendered at lower resolutions.
The sound is in stereo, with no support for 5.1 surround.


==Plot==
==Plot==
One day in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a [[Toad]] is sent a flier advertising a show at the [[Sparkle Theater]], and [[Princess Peach]] and some Toads decide to go see it. Suddenly, the wicked [[Grape (character)|Grape]] and the [[Sour Bunch]] invade and take over the theater. A gust of wind blows away Peach's crown, her suitcase, the Toads, some [[Theet|Theets]], and some fliers. Meanwhile, Peach is trapped inside. She teams up with the theater's guardian [[Stella]] to stop them.

A gust of wind blows away Peach's crown, her suitcase, the Toads, some [[Theet|Theets]], and some fliers. Meanwhile, Peach is trapped inside. She teams up with the theater's guardian [[Stella]] to stop them.
 
Throughout the game, Peach and Stella rid the theater plays of the Sour Bunch. This involves Peach transforming into one of ten ensembles: [[Swordfighter Peach|Swordfighter]], [[Detective Peach|Detective]], [[Patissiere Peach|Patissiere]], [[Kung Fu Peach|Kung Fu]], [[Ninja Peach|Ninja]], [[Cowgirl Peach|Cowgirl]], [[Figure Skater Peach|Figure Skater]], [[Dashing Thief Peach|Dashing Thief]], [[Mermaid Peach|Mermaid]], and [[Mighty Peach|Mighty]], depending on the type of play. Peach also has to find and save the ten Sparklas, a group of Theets who are the stars of each type of play.


Throughout the game, Peach and Stella take on challenges within the theater that involve the former transforming into one of ten outfits: [[Swordfighter Peach|Swordfighter]], [[Detective Peach|Detective]], [[Patissiere Peach|Patissiere]], [[Kung Fu Peach|Kung Fu]], [[Ninja Peach|Ninja]], [[Cowgirl Peach|Cowgirl]], [[Figure Skater Peach|Figure Skater]], [[Dashing Thief Peach|Dashing Thief]], [[Mermaid Peach|Mermaid]], and [[Mighty Peach|Mighty]]. Peach also has to find and save the ten Sparklas, a group of Theets who are the stars of each type of play. Eventually, Peach and Stella come face to face with Grape. Peach transforms into [[Radiant Peach]] in order to battle Grape. Peach ultimately defeats her, and Grape disappears. All that is left is her mask. As Peach and Stella walk away, the mask laughs, and Grape suddenly comes back to life, destroying the Sparkle Theater in the process. Peach transforms into a more powerful version of her Radiant transformation, known as [[Super Radiant Peach]], and is forced to battle Grape once again.

Once Grape is defeated for good, Peach rebuilds the theater with her powers. She transforms back into her normal self as the Theets approach her and Stella. They all turn to the camera to the sound of applause, take a bow (with the exception of Peach, who curtsies instead) and wave goodbye as confetti falls. Finally, Peach winks and [[Fourth wall|thanks the player]].

During the credits, photos show highlights from the game, before coming to still shots of Peach reuniting with the Toads. The pink ribbon that held Peach's hair in place magically unties itself. One of the Toads hands Stella the crown, which she places on Peach's head. The credits end with a photo of Peach and Stella high-fiving surrounded by the Theets, and zooms out to reveal an envelope, a letter, and Peach's crown, all sitting on Peach's bedside table.

The game requires 2 Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller to play. Although "Change Button Mapping" in the Nintendo Switch settings can be used to map all needed buttons onto a single Joy-Con, limitations with the button mapping regarding analog stick Y-axis, prevent a single Joy-Con from being used horizontally.

==Reception==
''Princess Peach: Showtime!'' received mixed to positive reviews, with critics mainly praising the game's visual flair, stylishness and variety of the costumes and activities available, but deeming its gameplay lacking in depth in comparison to other ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games.
Critics have universally exalted the theater theme of ''Princess Peach: Showtime!'' and how it visually affects the level design, as well as Peach as a protagonist and her versatility in the role, often in comparison to ''Super Princess Peach''.<ref>Parrish, Ash (March 26, 2024).

In contrast, he reviews Patisserie Peach and Detective Peach as "likely to be something that looks nicer than it is to actually play".<ref name="GIaG">Cook, Adam (March 21, 2024).

Retrived April 12, 2024.</ref> In his 7/10 review, Logan Plant of ''IGN'' appreciated the commitment to the theater theme, and added that it is a perfect fit for Princess Peach. He says the action-based transformations "sometimes blend together" and can be reduced to button mashing due to the difficulty level of the game, but praises the boss fights.<ref>Plant, Logan (March 21, 2024).

The simplistic nature of the gameplay has received some criticism, although some outlets have noted that the game appears to be geared towards younger children. In a negative review, Tom Regan of ''The Guardian'' claims that, despite its creative premise and appealing visuals and animations, "it only takes a few minutes of play before repetition sinks in," adding that many of the costumed sections feel like incomplete prototypes, citing the game as a whole as shallow and having "little to offer those of us who have mastered our times tables".<ref>Regan, Tom (March 22, 2024).

Retrieved April 12, 2024.</ref> Ali Shutler of ''NME'' also mentions this as a negative, calling the game "incredibly straightforward and forgiving", and that nothing "feels earned."<ref>Shutler, Ali (March 21, 2024).

Some performance issues were also criticized by reviewers. Adam Cook noted that the game is uncharacteristically unpolished for a Nintendo release, in reference to long loading times and frame drops.<ref name="GIaG"></ref>

|8/10
|"''Bar a few issues, this is pretty much a triumph for Peach’s first solo adventure. It isn’t going to leave your jaw on the floor like ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder|Super Mario Bros Wonder]]'' did, but it’s a worthwhile way to spend your time, with some unique ideas, and clever design. Some transformations are better than others, but Princess Peach: Showtime is just a lovely way to spend the time for anyone willing to give themselves to it.''"

|7/10
|"''Princess Peach: Showtime! is more closely aligned with Kirby and Yoshi’s simple, cheery romps rather than Mario’s polished platformers and Luigi’s haunted mansions. There’s fun to be found in the Sparkle Theater, as these delightfully simplified takes on some of gaming’s most popular genres are entertaining to blast through, and the whimsical stage play aesthetic gives Peach’s game an identity all its own. I’m 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 won’t 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.''"
