Princess Peach: Showtime! is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch set to be released on March 22, 2024. It is Princess Peach's first starring role in the franchise since Super Princess Peach.
The game has a stage play-themed setting. It takes place in a venue called Sparkle Theater, which a Toad invited Peach to; after a witch called Wicked Grape takes over the place, Peach and her new sidekick Stella decide to take it back and restore it by battling her minions, the Sour Bunch. At the beginning of the game, Stella gives Peach her power, turning her hair in a ponytail tied with a magenta bow instead of her usual crown. Stella can turn into a long ribbon Peach can use to interact with on-stage elements, such as props and characters. When she enters a particular spot on stage, Peach is also capable of transforming into various costume-like forms that match the stage, such as Swordfighter Peach, Detective Peach, Patissier Peach, and Kung-Fu Peach. Every form has her own fighting style, such as Swordfighter Peach using her rapier or Kung-Fu Peach doing martial arts moves.
