I didn’t really have many expectations for this other than what I’d heard about the demo being somewhat underwhelming, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it was hiding an interesting, compact experience in such an unassuming package.
The transformations (the main gimmick of the game) are plentiful here and most of them provided unique spins on the gameplay that kept things mostly fresh throughout my 8ish hours of playtime. Some standouts for me were ones like the Action Hero, Figure Skater, and the Dashing Thief costumes. The game isn’t particularly hard or anything and I know this will turn plenty of folks off, but I didn’t mind it given how short and cute the experience was given that the game was clearly targeting a young audience.
The Switch doesn’t do the best job of maintaining the game’s 30 FPS target, but thankfully most of the demands it makes of the player don’t require much precision in the moments this is noticeable for the most part. Visually I found Peach and the various environments to have a charming aesthetic and I’m glad Nintendo went for something creative even if it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
