Super Princess Peach is the first spinoff that Princess Peach ever received, and all-in-all it's a fantastic fun experience.

Even if the the story can be simplified down to:
"Bowser tries to get Peaches Vibrator, and Peach must defeat him because he kidnapped a bunch of Toads, Luigi, and Mario. Peach aquires a magical talking umbrella who turns out to be a person who was turned into one by an evil wizard. With the help of Perry the Umberella, Peach goes on her way to kick Bowsers ass herself! She has to use her emotions/vibes of Joy, Anger, Sadness, and Calmness to go through the worlds to defeat him and him minions for stealing her friends and her vibrator."

But really Nintendo did a great job making all the levels fun and essentially forcing you to deal with level by using the different emotions which I really appreciate them doing, because it means they took the time to think about how to use Peach's emotion in a way that is effective and constant for gameplay sake. I appreciate the Toad Stores within this game, as it gives reason for you to collect coins in order to unlock extra content and Moves for Peach to use, along with extra minigames for more fun.

The game has standard 8 worlds, with 6 levels per world, with the 5 consisting of getting from point A to Point B, while trying to find 3 hidden Toads per level, which really is a fun incentive to look around the level to find them, along with using Peach's emotions to help survey the areas faster incase they're hidden. And the final 6th stage per World essentially has you fight a boss of every specific world, utilizing Peach's emotions while being careful of correct timing when fighting these bosses!

Peach has 4 forms she can take when the player uses the touch screen of their DS/3DS, these being:

- ANGER: Peach is engulf in an firey aura burning enemies all around her, along with burnable bridges to access hidden areas, as well as ground pounding hard objects, and being able to move tough objects as well.

- SADNESS: Peach Crying water falls arcs that allow her to run quickly on fast falling objects. She can use her waterfall tears to grow flowers to create platforms and power watermills to access areas among the level.

- Joy: Peach becomes a Cyclone of happiness that allows her to spin quickly in place allowing you to take out enemies but also spin wind turbines to access hidden areas among levels that feature them. Another positive of this it allows you to float throughout stages to access more hidden areas or escape a fight.

- Calmness: If Peach has take too much damage this vibe/emotion will create a green healing aura around Peach allowing her to regain health until fully healed or until you have run out of energy in your energy bar.

The Vibes/emotions are only able to be used when your vibe meter has energy in it, if you've run out, you pick up enemies and have Perry the Umbrella eat them to regain energy allowing you to use the vibes again.

Honestly I really appreciate how much they tried to make the gameplay fun. I also appreciate how Nintendo didn't just reuse sprites from the Mario & Luigi series to make Super Princess Peach, they certainly could have, but instead Super Princess Peach has it's own unique sprite art that is a really a nice unique style for it and it alone.

Overall the experience for Super Princess Peach is a really fantastic one, one I highly recommend, I really love it when popular characters get well put together spinoffs that allow us to appreciate the characters more.

Even if this game was made for the entire sense of making a vibrator joke (no really how did Nintendo get away with that lol).
This game is still a treat to play and I absolutely recommend it.

It makes me hope Nintendo decides to allow more characters to get spinoffs. Peach now officially has 2, and they're both great in their own unique way.
Super Princess Peach is a great time that I highly recommend! And if you're a Peach fan, you have both this game and Princess Peach Showtime to enjoy!

Thanks for reading, vibe on!

Super Princess Peach feels like a solid entry in the overall spectrum of Mario franchise platformers. Art is great, theming is fun, and peach plays like a charm - not to mention she's got plenty of character that gives the game life.

The "vibes" (as they called the emotion based abilities) were a bit lack-luster - game mechanics-wise they're all fun, but in the level design their usage is pretty shallow most of the game. Maybe they just didn't want to overcomplicate things, but I never felt clever using them; each ability can be summarized as a key that unlocks the next area of a level.

Overall, this game feels like a solid attempt to be the first Mario franchise game for a new generation of gamers. It's pretty easy without too much complexity, even for folks that want to 100% it. There are some really good callbacks to Super Mario World though, which I loved. Definitely worth a play!

Mete guarda chuvada em todo mundo sem pena

Gostei muito desse joguin da peach confesso que fui sem esperar nada e acabei me encantando com tudo nele, sua jogabilidade é gostosa seus gráficos são belos e seus cenários são construídos de forma semelhante aos jogos do Yoshi do SNES e até um pouco ao Super Mario World. No começo eu até ia dar 5 estrelas pra ele, só que teve algumas coisas que me fizeram tirar uns pontos dele e que me incomodaram bastante.

As fases de água são boas, mas passar por elas pode se tornar algo trabalhoso já que você tem que ficar assoprando o microfone do DS pra atacar ou quebrar blocos que estão no seu caminho. Isso até que é engraçado no início e você até da umas risadinha, mas quando vai passando o tempo vai ficando irritante e chato.

Super Princess Peach até tinha tudo pra da certo do início ao fim, só que decidiram colocar checkpoints injustos e te obrigam a coletar TODOS os toads (tipo.. todos mesmo) pra conseguir zerar o jogo. Falando assim até parece algo ok e pode ser legal de fazer pra alguns, mas pra mim isso deixou o jogo terrivelmente CHATO e me fez abandonar o jogo no final.

Então é isso, não cheguei a zerar por conta dessa palhaçada de coletar os Toads mas eu me diverti com o que deu pra jogar! Vale a pena jogar hoje em dia se você sentir interesse só fique atento nesse detalhe ai mesmo se tiver afim de finalizar o game.

Gameplay- With a unique take on the conventional platformer design, Super Princess Peach offers players a relaxing experience through eight worlds. The toad-rescuing component of the game adds an appealing level of strategy, requiring players to explore every corner of each level if they want to reach higher levels. A shop where players can buy upgrades using coins adds an element of depth to the action, allowing users to customise Peach's powers and enhancing replay value. With Perry, the Parasol joining Peach as an ally, an additional gameplay element becomes available, which requires players to utilise their powers to defeat enemies and overcome obstacles. Super Princess Peach stands out further due to the vibe powers and emotion meter that give players a unique and easy technique for communicating with the game's environment.

Super Princess Peach departs from traditional Mario platformers, however its gameplay ideas are creative and well-done. The inclusion of the vibe powers and emotion metre to the gameplay not only improves its complexity but also ties in with the narrative of the game, as Peach utilises her emotions to overcome difficulties, like Inside Out if it was a video game. The way Perry's skills grow throughout the game ensures sure that the battle never becomes less engaging and dynamic, with new strategies and techniques appearing throughout of the time. Super Princess Peach is a unique and endearing addition to the Mario Universe overall, and I'm not sure Showtime can top what Super Princess Peach was.

Story- In "Super Princess Peach (2005)," the story occurs on Vibe Island, an unknown location rumoured to be home to the powerful Vibe Sceptre. Eager to use its abilities, Bowser creates his vacation home on the island and, once his minion discovers the sceptre, assumes control of it. Bowser utilises his strength to transport Toads throughout the island to capture Mario, Luigi, and various other characters. Princess Peach, armed only with a sentient parasol named Perry which Toadsworth handed her, starts on a solo rescue journey upon hearing of the chaos triggered by Bowser's actions.

Peach encounters many kinds of challenges as she goes through the island's different parts, each imbued with the remaining emotional energy unleashed by the Vibe Sceptre. While the role-reversal plot—a princess saving the plumbers—is well-known, the game includes new systems where Peach's emotions influence her abilities. Peach fights Bowser's troops with Perry, resulting in an argument at Bowser's Villa. Super Princess Peach's plot was acceptable but nothing new, in my opinion, as role-reversal plots are frequently used in media. The friendship theme in the game itself reminds me quite a bit of Kirby Star Allies if that particular game wasn't so mediocre

Super Princess Peach despite it not being that difficult of a game, was a fun game to play. It’s great that this game had experimented with new characters for the Mario universe, which I’m hoping Bowser gets his own spin off game at some point since he still doesn’t have one. I doubt that Princess Peach Showtime would top this game but even though it’s too easy

The challenge of Super Princess Peach is less about making it through each stage and more finding every single Toad before facing the final boss. However, this game has nothing in the way of puzzles or brain teasers to challenge the player like how difficult reaching some of the secret exits can be in Super Mario World. The most resistance the game normally offers is placing a clearly visible obstacle that the player has to go "Oh right, I use [one of three emotions] to clear this" and badda boom, there's the missing Toad right behind it.

Between the extremely low difficulty and the complete lack of the conventional "lives" system in about every other Mario game, it very much feels like this game was designed with kid gloves (or maybe girl gloves?) on, and it's less interesting than it could be as a result.

Cute game, but not terribly fun to play.

I know a lot of people really despise this game, and honestly I can sorta see where they are coming from. but for the first game with the Princess as the main character.... it's not that bad.
It's a decent enough title created by the same creators of Starfy (aka THE GIGACHAD), and it's kinda surprising that it got released slightly before the resurgance of 2D Super Mario Bros games. But even without taking New SUper Mario Bros into consideration, Super Princess Peach does its own unique thing.

The Princess is fun to control as a 2D platform hero, and her unique mechanic that combines 4 distinct powers (actually 3, I dunno what's the logic about the green one) makes for some cool level gimmicks and interactions. Nothing is really well expanded and used at the strongest potential, but for what it is it's fine.

I know most people dislike the use of EMOTIONS to showcase the princess power, and I can see where these complains come from.... but also I kinda disagree with those statements since these powers are not just relegated to the princess: enemies of past titles are back afflicted by these emotions, and makes for some fun twist to all of them: you get Koopas that sings while walkings, goombas that cry and zooms into your face, and boos that are so pissed that they work the opposite as opposite boos...... also REX from mario world is an enemy, I love Rex. Overall all of thiese twists and recreations of past enemies and bosses brings for me a lot of charm to the title, thanks to the cozy vibes, great music and adorable artstyle and sprite works.

The addition of the differen forms for the parasols and a kinda decent collection of minigames (except the pre-boss ones) offer a bunch of variety that is always appreciated (even though the implementation of forced microphones to move around can result into some annoying phases).

The game overall is totally fine...... until you reach the final level and find out that "Yeah, remember those toad boxes that you imagined being optional to complete the story? NONO GO BACK, free ALL the toads only to get a chance against Bowser". That is one of the worst decisions you can do for a game, forcing an almost platinum completion only to have a chance against the final boss.
That alone drops the quality of the title immensely, since it forces you to replay over half of the pasts levels if you were not careful, dragging a small innocent title for way too long... not to mention that more unlockables shows up in each level after the credits, so you technically gotta come back a third time if you really wanna 100% it

Aside from that, this is not a horrible title: it works, it's fun and Peach I am sure had a good time.
Also this game teach me that if my mother laughs a lot, maybe a "magical sceptre" is hidden somewhere in my house..... thanks guys, I really needed that info when I was 10....

So, why would I choose to play this game first over Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros 3?

I don't know, it just looked interesting and, basically no one ever talks about it, and, well.

I had a pretty fun time with it! It's a pretty enjoyable little game.

Peach controls really great, the variety of moves she has and the ones you unlock make her feel really capable and fun to control.

The levels are, very serviceable, if a bit forgettable, though in all honesty, 2D mario games don't really have very memorable levels in general, I mean, who can remember 3-2 from SMB 1 or, 5-3 from New Super Mario Bros U? It's basically the same case here.

The artstyle is, super cute! It feels like what an original Mario game would've looked like on the GBA and, I say that very much as a compliment, the animations on Perry the umbrella are also so expressive and adorable, I love how the game looks!

And the bosses are pretty fun actually, I enjoyed the bosses.

My main issue with the game is how overly-easy it is, it's closer to Kirby than Mario in difficult, finding all the collectibles doesn't make it any more difficult either so, yeah, I'd recommend you play this game on the side while tackling another, more difficult game, so you can come back to this one when you feel frustrated with the other game.

Overall, really fun and serviceable platformer, I really liked it!

Playing the better Peach game made me realize how unlikely it was for us to get Super Princess Peach in the first place.

First things first: the game isn't plagued by gimmicky DS controls like half the early DS games, but it simply lets you control the princess' emotions, which play an important role in platforming: by getting angry, Peach can stomp; by crying, you can water plants and so on.

What's so special about this game though? Honestly, not much! The protagonist is cute and the idea is novel, but outside some outstanding levels (like the mansions), I don't really remember much about the game and the levels themselves. I'm sure it works and it controls well enough, controlling emotions is a cool idea and all but it simply cannot carry the game alone. It's an innocuous little game, with wonderful spriting might I add, about a role switch between savior and saved, but that's it.

I wish I had platform sections during my mood swings, but I digress.

ok, esse jogo tem um grande charme na sua estilização com uma arte linda, tanto os personagens como os cenários e sprites em geral, suas mecânicas são bem únicas e dão uma pitada de "diferente"e protagonismo para a Princesa, mas é isso, morre ai

é um plataformer extremamente chato, repetitivo e pouco inspirado que não ousa ser criativo em nada, para mim isso foi um baita disperdício de potencial para o jogo que iria dar um palco maior para a Peach. Foi realmente cansativo jogar isso até o final, dentre todos jogos da Nintendo que joguei esse é o que eu menos sinto vontade de visitar novamente, não recomendo para nínguem ao não ser que você queira morrer de tédio e cansaço

como disse ele ainda tem seu charme (e até desafio em certos níveis), mas é algo totalmente raso e vazio

March 22nd, 2024, marks the release day of Princess Peach Showtime, a game that I have been looking forward to since its reveal, and even more so after playing the demo recently and being absolutely enamored by its sense of creativity and whimsy. I figured, hey, if I'm looking forward to this Peach game so much, I should give the first one a try as well! I sincerely doubt they'll be at all related to each other, but its fun to get the full Princess Peach experience regardless. Except this one wasn't very fun, actually.

Super Princess Peach is, 90% of the time, a mindless walk through a quick level grabbing whatever collectibles you need or may come across. The other 10% is a frustrating mess of a labyrinth where you will be wandering the area multiple times over in hopes of finding the weird little happenstance you need to pull of to find a Toad, or having a good old trial & error fest in a room that is exclusively pipes that only exist to drag you back to the beginning of the room. One of them takes you to the end of the level, have fun guessing.

The game doesn't do much to make these levels feel special, either. Peach's entire gimmick is her four emotions (stellar concept really), or three, given that one of them does nothing but heal Peach, in a game where dying is not only extremely difficult, but goes practically unpunished on the off chance it does happen.
The three emotions that actually are utilized are never for any more than a couple purposes. Being happy makes her spin windmills or blow away large clouds, maybe float at a snail's pace if you don't feel like platforming; being sad makes her run faster and grow plants; being angry makes her burn bridges and light torches, up until the end of the game where they just do that for you anyway. Very rarely will a new opportunity arise for one of Peach's abilities, but chances are you won't be seeing it again after a couple more levels.
Making it to the end of each world will reward you with a boss fight that follows a quick and easy touch screen minigame. Every boss in the game has one weakness that you will be told about just before fighting them, and they will hardly change anything up the whole time. Pick their favorite feeling and hit them five times with it, win game. Hell, you don't actually need to use any of the emotions for the final boss of the game except for one very brief instance of Rage just before the final hit.

The story is nothing I'm crazy for, either. I didn't care for Perry, and I guess Nintendo didn't either. Bowser and the gang find a Vibe Scepter (good one) that makes everyone very emotional, giving them similar abilities to Peach herself. This doesn't matter, SPP is more focused on giving you quick glimpses into the talking parasol's past at the end of each world, something something evil magic something something old man. It's your job to help reunite them. Or don't. You won't.

I was content on giving this game maybe a low 6/10 if it weren't for that final world. Genuinely appalling decisions made there.
Oh well, I don't have to play it anymore. Still looking forward to my Game of the Year tomorrow. Stay tuned for that one.

Even while still being a dumbass child that would not touch any "girl stuff" cuz it was for girls, the moment I realized there was a Princess Peach game, I was incredibly excited to play it.

Back in the day, I thought it was good, but the more I think back on this game, it truly was just a nothing experience. There is no difficulty, no challenge, the game holds you by the hand the entire time and never lets you go; it doesn't even work like a traditional Mario game with a proper lives system.

This game would be perfect for my little sister who can't even get past the first goomba in any Mario game...But it is upsetting to me that this is all Nintendo does with Peach. I have seen footage of the newest Peach game "Princess Peach: Showtime!" and it looks like it suffers from the same problems as this one, just with a higher budget.

If you are looking for a good Princess Peach game on the same level as the Mario games, Warioland or Yoshi's Island, this ain't it. This is just another bland DS game for toddlers and little girls, who for some reason Nintendo thinks should not be challenged, in a videogame made specifically for them.
