7. Kung Fu Peach
Martial art has never start out of dash , and Princess Peach nails the vibe with this butt - kicking transformation . This one provides nimble motion and the ability to dish out the hurt with a flurry of kicks , puddle for some action - packed showdowns .

6. Figure Skater Peach
Who would have ever thought figure skating could be turn into an attack method acting ? That ’s exactly what happens with the Figure Skater Peach transformation , though , as it lets the princess twist to shoot down foes while glide around the ice avoiding obstacles . And it ’s a much better clip than you ’d imagine . Some point even have Peach performing full chalk routines , jumping and spinning at the right time to nab some supernumerary collectibles . Even if its not the most complex gameplay twist , we lie with the fluid look of glide around on ice .
5. Patissiere Peach
Working with pastries turns out to be one of the most fun parts of Peach ’s adventure . Patissiere Peach offer a unique gameplay challenge as she ’s task with everything from make cookie to using a pastry purse to embellish cake .

Ninja Peach rank among the most thrilling of her various shift , as it grant her the ability to hold in herself , rise along walls , and use kunai to take down baddies ( silent but deathly ! ) . This power comes with some ofShowtime‘s salutary visual touches too . When she hides in grass patches , Peach will hold up two cardboard twig to conceal herself . Now that ’s resourceful thought process !

Beating down baddies with this shift is some of the most fun you may have inPrincess Peach : Showtime !
1. Dashing Thief Peach
Dashing Thief Peach gives the princess her most challenging aesthetic in an old - school thief outfit . As she sticks to the shadows and uses a hand-to-hand struggle hook to move rapidly across rooftops and beyond , it rapidly becomes clear that Peach is experience play being a sneaky angleworm . It ’s equally fun for the musician — so much so that we think it ’s worthy of the top touch .
