Super Princess Peach (DS)

Finally Princess Peach gets to be the hero, or herroine in this case. The first game to feature the dainty little Princess as the main character, was released on the Nintendo DS in 2006, and has sold over 1million copies worldwide. Now it's up to Peach to be the saviour, as Mario and Luigi have been captured by Bowser's goons. Now some people may think, 'What is she going to do to save them? Beat them down with her handbag?'. Well the answer to that question is Peach has super powered emotions to help her along her way, and a trusty little magical umbrella called Perry who will help the princess along her adventure to save the ...  Read the complete review

(CALM) For years and years, Princess Peach has been getting captured by Bowser, and Mario has come along to rescue her. Have you ever thought what it might be like if the tables were turned? If Mario was captured, and the Princess had to come to HIS rescue? Well, the answer lies here. In Super Princess Peach, a platformer on the DS, you are tasked with controlling the princess in her own standalone game. (JOY) So how does controlling Princess Peach differ from controlling her diminuitive Italian plumber boyfriend? Well, a lot actually. Just like Yoshi's Island, this is more than just a Mario game with Mario replaced by the ...  Read the complete review

Finally a role reversal on the Mario games, Princess Peach sets off on a journey to save Mario who has been captured by Bowser in this game that finally gives the normally helpless Princess some girl power.

Princess Peach has different emotions (like any girl right? lol) that help you on your journey through the game, these are sad that ...  Read the complete review

So Nintendo released a game where you can play as Princess Peach herself! Amazing! The objective of the game is to travel round worlds collecting coins and toads, to ultimately save Mario and Luigi, it's very similar to Super Mario. There are 8 worlds and they each have 5 different stages and Peach travels through a variety of landscapes and encounters a wide range of monsters! Except in this game, you are equipped with Perry the umbrella to defend you and four emotions: Happiness, Anger, Sadness and Calmness. You can select these on the touch screen and use them to get past a number of obstacles. I'm absolutely hooked on this ...  Read the complete review

Super Princess Peach is a great alternative to the Super Mario games. Obviously its the same premise of a platform game, but with the girly element added to it, I think makes a nice touch. Going through the game, you have to use Peaches different emotions (anger, love etc) to get you out of sticky situations and so on. I really liked this side of it, a nice quirk that Mario doesn't have. I usually get bored with these sort of games and never end up completing them, however I didn't lose interest here. I didn't find it too easy either, as initially I was worried it was going to be much more of a children's game on the difficulty front. I felt ...  Read the complete review
