The Sour Bunch is an acting theater troupe of anthropomorphic purple grapes led by Grape and are the main antagonists of Princess Peach: Showtime!, where they take over the Sparkle Theater. Unlike the Theets, the Sour Bunch do not have visible noses.
Their name, alongside Grape's, plays on the phrase "sour grapes" which reference Ancient Greek theater's celebrations to honor Dionysus, the god of wine and theater.[1]
They consistently refer to Grape as "Madame Grape", a name that is a running theme throughout the game to identify characters who have bad intentions.
