I know a lot of people really despise this game, and honestly I can sorta see where they are coming from. but for the first game with the Princess as the main character.... it's not that bad.
It's a decent enough title created by the same creators of Starfy (aka THE GIGACHAD), and it's kinda surprising that it got released slightly before the resurgance of 2D Super Mario Bros games. But even without taking New SUper Mario Bros into consideration, Super Princess Peach does its own unique thing.
The Princess is fun to control as a 2D platform hero, and her unique mechanic that combines 4 distinct powers (actually 3, I dunno what's the logic about the green one) makes for some cool level gimmicks and interactions. Nothing is really well expanded and used at the strongest potential, but for what it is it's fine.
I know most people dislike the use of EMOTIONS to showcase the princess power, and I can see where these complains come from.... but also I kinda disagree with those statements since these powers are not just relegated to the princess: enemies of past titles are back afflicted by these emotions, and makes for some fun twist to all of them: you get Koopas that sings while walkings, goombas that cry and zooms into your face, and boos that are so pissed that they work the opposite as opposite boos...... also REX from mario world is an enemy, I love Rex. Overall all of thiese twists and recreations of past enemies and bosses brings for me a lot of charm to the title, thanks to the cozy vibes, great music and adorable artstyle and sprite works.
The addition of the differen forms for the parasols and a kinda decent collection of minigames (except the pre-boss ones) offer a bunch of variety that is always appreciated (even though the implementation of forced microphones to move around can result into some annoying phases).
The game overall is totally fine...... until you reach the final level and find out that "Yeah, remember those toad boxes that you imagined being optional to complete the story? NONO GO BACK, free ALL the toads only to get a chance against Bowser". That is one of the worst decisions you can do for a game, forcing an almost platinum completion only to have a chance against the final boss.
That alone drops the quality of the title immensely, since it forces you to replay over half of the pasts levels if you were not careful, dragging a small innocent title for way too long... not to mention that more unlockables shows up in each level after the credits, so you technically gotta come back a third time if you really wanna 100% it
Aside from that, this is not a horrible title: it works, it's fun and Peach I am sure had a good time.
Also this game teach me that if my mother laughs a lot, maybe a "magical sceptre" is hidden somewhere in my house..... thanks guys, I really needed that info when I was 10....
