Grape, also referred to as Madame Grape,[1] is the main antagonist of Princess Peach: Showtime! She is an evil sorceress who, along with her gang of minions called the Sour Bunch, takes over Sparkle Theater while Princess Peach is in attendance. Peach teams up with the theater's guardian Stella to put a stop to Grape's madness.[2] She is even the arch-enemy of Peach and Stella.
Grape's name, when combined with that of the Sour Bunch, plays off the phrase "sour grapes;" it also refers to her purple coloration and may also play into a fruit theme with Princess Peach's name.
