    Fun but without ambition.

    Princess Peach: Showtime! is not only a game that makes me feel like a kid, but a game I wish I had as a little girl. I was originally drawn to The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie because I wanted to play as Minnie. I wanted to play as a girl — and not just a girl, but a female character who was an equal to the male character. Thirty years ago, there just weren’t those sorts of options. It’s hard to believe that Nintendo would take so long to make another Peach game — and one that’s wholly unique in the Super Mario Bros. franchise — because at this point, it’s a no-brainer. I’ve got no doubt that tons of little kids will delight in what Princess Peach: Showtime! offers.

    Princess Peach: Showtime! is certainly an improvement over Super Princess Peach. This time around, she’s at the center of her own story and able to tap into all sorts of interesting powers that don’t play off the harmful stereotype of “women be having emotions.” But the two games feel too similar, too simplistic. Taken together, they give the impression that Nintendo doesn’t think a solo Peach game has an appeal outside of young girls, or worse yet, they don’t want to take the risk to see if she does.
