Princess Peach: Showtime!: Difference between revisions
Added info regarding sales numbers
(When compared to Mario Kart 8 (both versions) who use kana '''only''', indicating that PPS has an older target audience, there's many mean things I could say about The Guardian's "review" that would be unsuited for edit notes.) |

==Plot== | |||
One day in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a [[Toad]] is sent a flier advertising a show at the [[Sparkle Theater]], which [[Princess Peach]] and some Toads decide to attend. 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. | |||
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. | |||
Eventually, Peach and Stella come face to face with Grape. With assistance from the Sparklas, 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 Sparklas and 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]] for helping her out. | |||

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. | During the credits, photos show highlights from the game, before coming to still shots of Peach reuniting with the Toads.
