A very kid-skewing game that has sparks (sparkles?) of something interesting but maybe would have worked better as a faster, more conventional platformer with costume changes, a gimmick many platformers have used. Beyond the game being cute and some pretty neat boss fights, there's not all that much here, and the developer Good-Feel's continued use of hand-crafted aesthetics is getting a little tired. There are some fun ideas (each of the game's bosses being based on "backstage" elements like stage lights or projectors), but there's other obvious stuff they didn't do - who wouldn't have loved a whole musical number with Peach singing?

Still, it's nice to have a Peach game, and the finale of this is pretty fun, and provides some good material for use in the next Smash game - since Daisy has Peach's moveset, she can keep that, Peach could get a complete moveset redo, and Madame Grape could be added as a character as well.

I was kind of hoping Madame Grape would be revealed as a sort of "Wa-Peach", but it doesn't really look like that's the intention, she's too supernatural.
