Princess Peach can serve c**t in a variety of ways. Not only as a swordfighter, a detective, a cowgirl or one of the many other outfit transformations available in 'Showtime!' but also as a lead protagonist in her own solo, platform, adventure game.
PP:S! provides a unique, imaginative, and fun experience that is enjoyable for gamers of all ages. Set in the Sparkle Theater, we're introduced to several new characters: The Theets (the Toads of Sparkle Theater), Grape (the villain) and her group of dastardly minions, the Sour Bunch, but most importantly Stella, the guardian of the theater (who also happens to be Peach's companion throughout the game).
As you traverse through the different stages/plays, you get to experience each outfit transformation several times, each progressively getting a bit more challenging but not too difficult as you collect sparkle gems, ribbons, and rescue the Sparklas (Theets who have the abilities of the outfits that Peach can transform into).
Although PP:S! is not a complicated game, it can come across a bit mind-numbingly basic. The greatest strength of the game is its simplicity but also its biggest fault, as its 2-button reliant control scheme carries all the way through to the final boss; where the battle feels underwhelming when visually it is so full of charm and character.
However, this game really expands on the badassery that Peach exhibited in the Super Mario Bros movie by allowing her to showoff a new side of all her skills with all the various transformations. From kicking ass and demonstrating her stealth abilities as a ninja or controlling fish through the power of song as a mermaid, and so much more; this game proves that Peach can be more than just a damsel in distress.
