Discover Peach’s 10 transformations in Princess Peach: Showtime! New abilities and levels revealed.
Princess Peach: Showtime! is an upcoming game set to launch on March 22, 2024. It will put the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom in the starring role. Much like Mario games, Peach will gain new powers by changing into different costumes and transformations.
Nintendo has been revealing more of these transformations before the game’s launch. Let’s take a closer look at all the Princess Peach: Showtime! costumes and transformations that have been unveiled so far.
In this transformation, Peach wields a rapier to slash through enemies like a Musketeer. She can perform rising sword attacks, and slash foes in front and behind her. Swordfighter Peach will be usable in castle levels like The Castle of Thorns.
Taking inspiration from Kirby, Patissiere Peach bakes cakes and cookies in this outfit. This costume seems limited to minigame stages where she decorates desserts with giant pastry tools. Peach becomes a baker to help Theets prepare sweets in the Welcome to the Festival of Sweets level.
Ninja Peach lets the princess embrace her inner Naruto. She gains the ability to sneak through tall grass, perform stealth kills, wall jump to reach higher platforms and use kunai to defeat enemies. This transformation will be available in ninja village levels like Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids.
Figure Skater Peach is ready to take on the obligatory ice level. She can easily maneuver across frozen floors, use spin attacks to deal with foes and trap them in deadly dance moves. Peach will rule the ice in the Ice Skating Level.
Channeling her inner Indiana Jones, Cowgirl Peach uses a lasso to grab and toss enemies. She also gets to ride a horse while chasing down foes in wild west-themed stages like the Wild West Level.
A gift for fan artists and cosplayers, Mermaid Peach will make a splash. Instead of controlling her directly, players use Mermaid Peach’s singing voice to command schools of fish and navigate underwater stages. Her melodic powers will be on display in the Underwater Level.
Detective Peach borrows a magnifying glass to sleuth around. She can track footprints and question suspects. Peach will put on her thinking cap to solve mysteries in the Museum Level.
Princess Peach seems to have joined the Phantom Thieves from Persona 5. As Dashing Thief Peach, she becomes a masked burglar who can hang from railings, use a grappling hook to reach new areas, and glide through the air while avoiding nasty robots. Her sneaky skills will be put to the test infiltrating the Secret Lair Level.
Growing weary of royal society, Kung Fu Peach decides to punch and kick enemies in the face. She can swing from poles to perform wide-radius attacks and leap from platform to platform. Peach will show off her martial arts prowess in the Kung Fu School Level.
Mighty Peach allows the princess to become a superhero. With super strength, she can throw large objects across the stage and fly around clobbering aliens with her mighty fists. Players can live out their heroic dreams with Peach in the Superhero Level.
Based on the information revealed so far, Princess Peach: Showtime! will feature 10 unique transformations for the heroine to use in specific themed levels. These costumes grant Peach new abilities for combat and platforming to help her defeat the Sour Bunch.
