    Les temps ont changé, les moeurs également et Nintendo l'a bien compris avec Princess Peach Showtime, qui se démarque aussi de Mario en s'éloignant du plateformer classique. Ici, il s'agit davantage d'une aventure pensée pour mettre en avant les nombreuses capacités du personnage, capable de changer de tenue comme de gameplay, le tout auréolé d'un thème sur le théâtre parfaitement travaillé. Ninja, épéiste, sirène, détective, super-héroïne, pâtissière, patineuse ou carrément experte en kung-fu, on passe d'un style à un autre avec beaucoup de plaisir, même si l'absence de challenge risque de faire tiquer les joueurs les plus aguerris. De toutes les manières, le jeu est clairement destiné aux plus jeunes, ceux qui seront moins exigeants et ne pesteront d'ailleurs pas sur les chutes de framerate parfois incompréhensibles.

    The first mainline game for Princess Peach in nearly two decades is a charming adventure with some solid ideas and excellent boss battles. Princess Peach: Showtime demonstrates that the heroine is worthy of being a leading protagonist on her own merit, despite a few performance issues.

    It's Peach-Time! Kreativer und süß designter Zeitvertreib mit anfänglich großer Abwechslung, dem es aber im weiteren Verlauf an motivierenden Inhalten fehlt. Knackigere Rätsel und Mini-Games oder zusätzliche Spielmechaniken hätten dem Abenteuer gut zu Gesicht gestanden.

    Princess Peach Showtime! only lasts around six hours and a couple more if you want to collect everything. It’s a breeze to get through and doesn’t offer much difficulty beyond collecting pesky gems, but it manages to give us a sampling of Peach’s potential as the star of future games.

    Princess Peach: Showtime is a fun and extremely varied adventure that serves as not only a great spin-off from the Mario franchise, but finally giving Princess Peach another chance in the limelight to shine like the star she is. It may be a fairly simple and straightforward experience, but there’s so much to see and do, and it’s hard not to suggest this to Nintendo fans of all ages.

    Princess Peach Showtime is a great action game for people of all skill levels. 10 different costumes provide us with unique playstyles in a game where you never know what's going to happen next. Are you going to be a flying hero punching down enemy ships? Or are you going to be a master thief hacking into security and sneaking through lasers? It's always something different and it's great to see so much potential in an often underused character.

    Princess Peach: Showtime!

    Princess Peach hasn’t had a game in a long time so this game definitely made her popular once again. This game has a lot to do with areas to explore and collect the different parts to save the day!
