The game has a stage play-themed setting. It takes place in a venue called [[Sparkle Theater]], which a [[Toad]] invited Peach to; after a witch called [[Grape (character)|Grape]] takes over the place, Peach and the theater's guardian [[Stella]] team up and decide to take it back and restore it by battling her minions, the [[Sour Bunch]]. At the beginning of the game, Stella gives Peach her power, turning her hair in a ponytail tied with a magenta bow instead of her usual [[Peach's Crown|crown]]. Stella can turn into a long ribbon Peach can use to interact with on-stage elements, such as props and characters. When she enters a particular spot on stage, Peach is also capable of transforming into various costume-like forms that match the stage, such as [[Swordfighter Peach]], [[Detective Peach]], [[Patissier Peach]], and [[Kung-Fu Peach]]. Every form has her own fighting style, such as Swordfighter Peach using her rapier or Kung-Fu Peach doing martial arts moves.<ref name=SepDirect/>
