While breezing through this one shouldn't pose a problem for anyone, the Nintendo charm and an extra count way over what was needed add to the value. The Mushroom Kingdom is alive this time around, with emotional enemies, a superb variety of animations, and little details like Peach holding her dress down when she begins a fall, add up to ensure this is a first-party Nintendo game all the way through. When beaten, more of Peach's world opens up to keep the gamer playing.

That's only one part of extras, in addition, there is the option of playing through the game the second time with a definitely more apparent difficulty. Other special features include a selection of DS-only style mini-games, puzzles (complete faster to set a new time record), and a massive selection of in-game music to listen to from the menu.

Aside from the difficulty complaints (or lack thereof), the only stumbling blocks are touch screen based mini-games before entering into the boss stages. As extras outside of the main game, they would merely be throwaways. Forced onto the player until they beat them (they can mercifully be skipped when playing through a second time), the occasionally unresponsive controls and irritating design bring the entire package down, along with unnecessary constant beeping when your health is low.

While completely different pieces of software in terms of design and play style, Super Princess Peach manages to hold its own when faced with New Super Mario Bros. It's a 2-D Nintendo created platformer. It's hard to imagine what could possibly go wrong with that unmistakable combo, and Princess Peach sticks to the expectations.

Super Princess Peach is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Comic Mischief.
