The Sour Bunch Figure Skater is a villain character in the three Figure Skater Peach levels in Princess Peach: Showtime!.

As of April 11, 2024, he has no known official name. Their gender is also unconfirmed in official sources, but the performance clothing and their voice actor indicate he's male.

He strikes flamboyant poses and repeatedly challenges Peach to bouts on circular ice rinks. Despite his attitude, he gets very often dizzy during his skating performances, enabling Peach to grab onto him and spin him around, making him even more dizzy. After the bouts, he describes his admiration of Peach's skating skills as he vanishes.

He is able to corrupt Figure Skater Theets into skating along with him.

Appearances

  • A Snow Flower on Ice: Arrives immediately after Peach's figure skating performance, corrupts the right accompanying Theets, and heads off with them. After Peach successfully catches up to his own tent, he challenges her to a bout. To defeat him, Peach must grab onto and spin him around while he's dizzy, giving Peach a few seconds to spin around the blown-around Theets to get them on her side. When all eight are recovered, and Peach and the eight skate around him, he is defeated.
  • A Parade on Ice: Has taken over the hall that was intended to mark the end of the parade. The bout has the same rules as in A Snow Flower on Ice, except with two Sour Bunch members surrounding him, and the three rocks on the previous rink are absent.
  • The Dark Ice & the Shadowy Stage: Was approached at an earlier point by Figure Skater Sparkla, who he then put in a cage. His spins make large icicles fall down, which Peach must dodge. Performing five snowflake moves while he recovers frees Figure Skater Sparkla.

The battles against him do not have phases. It is possible to one-shot the first two bouts, and two-shot the third bout, while none of the three bouts have a maximum number of rounds to defeat him in.
