Princess Peach has been one of Nintendo's most frequently featured characters since her debut in the original Super Mario Bros. game on the NES, yet she has rarely been allowed to star as a main character. In 2005, Peach was put front-and-center in Super Princess Peach on the Nintendo DS, but since then, she's been largely regulated to party game spin-offs and the damsel in distress role. Princess Peach: Showtime is the first time in 19 years that Peach has been featured as a game's main protagonist. Unfortunately for Peach fans, Princess Peach: Showtime doesn't seem to have been made with the same effort afforded to some of Nintendo's other characters.
