I just finished Princess Peach: Showtime, well only the main story. It was so so cute, the costumes are really pretty, it's nice to have different ways of playing depending on the outfits.

Now that I've finished the main story, a whole post-game have been unlocked where you have to go through all the levels again to find the ninja's disciples. I did the first two levels, and they weren't really well hidden, but I'll have to see about the next ones. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bothered finishing all the levels at 100%, since I have to do them all again anyway 🥲.

There are also achievements to unlock on the bosses, three for each, and that's likely to be more complicated. I did the first boss, and had to restart about ten times to manage to get all three sparks; not only do you have to manage not to get hit, but you also have to avoid hitting too much at random. I'm not looking forward to the lion boss at all; I liked him the least. Well, we'll see.

Apart from that, a few random thoughts:

• The game is very forgiving, but there's still a little challenge for those who want it. The more hardcore players won't necessarily like it, but the others will enjoy it.
• Peach in the swordswoman outfit is really the queen of lesbians, I find myself back in the days of Card Captor Sakura (the sleeping beauty's play chef's kiss) and the Rose of Versailles, and my taste hasn't changed in all these years.
• It's funny that the mermaid costume gives a musical mini-game, it reminded me of kingdom hearts 2 with the little mermaid's world. (Incidentally very disappointed not to have had a pastel pink and blue dress like Stella's ribbon which is absolutely perfect).
• The ninja's music sounds a lot like FFX-2, I thought. I looked up the composers and it looked like there were not the same, but it reminds me too much of it. By the way, "assassin's disco" as a song name is perfect. I just looked it up on YouTube and it seems to remind people of a lot of things, but not FFX-2, am I the only one?
• It's a real shame not to be able to skip the cutscenes (apart from the transformations); it's pretty frustrating, especially as you have to redo the levels to find everything.
• Loading screens and cinematics are slow, but not the scenes where you play ???? Now that's something I've never seen before, and it's very odd that it should be the other way around. But in the end, it's better that way. I'm playing in 1.0 now, so maybe it's been fixed. Anyway, it's better that way than the other, as there aren't many cinematics.

That's all I can think of. We'll see if I have the motivation to finish it 100%, I think I'll at least do the ninjas, the bosses we'll see depending on my mood. I hope we'll have more games with Peach! 👑
