How Princess Peach's Game Is Better Than ANY New Super Mario Bros- The Most UNDERRATED DS Game

This is a big childhood game of mine that’s never talked about! I definitely agree that it’s better than a lot of Mario games. It’s got so many creative elements that haven’t been seen since, like the shop that actually grants abilities that are used in the levels. The collectibles are also super fun to collect, and as a kid, for whatever reason, I could look at that glossary for HOURS!

I really enjoyed this game, since Peach is my favorite Mario character. I hope Nintendo makes another game with Peach as the main protagonist, because I feel like her character has been very static these last few years. I love the games where they give her personality and depth, as opposed to her typical damsel-in-distress cliche. She is canonically an extremely powerful person, and it's sad how little that's explored.

I wish Nintendo would start exploring and allow more stylized character designs in Mario games again.

Think about the Legend of Zelda and Microsoft's version of Banjo & Kazooie, a change in style means their world has to change as well making new and interesting creative environments.

Original: Super Princess Peach Sequel: Super Princess Daisy (hold on a second, Princess Daisy, of all characters, as the protagonist?! Bitch please! Never gonna happen, she’s just not good enough to be more than just a spin-off character! - Sintendo) Threequel: Damsels in Success (or Super Peach (or Daisy) Sisters… or whatever… yeah, I think in a way, Peach and Daisy, because they only partially looking alike ARE biologically related. Maybe they’re sisters (in any way, even non-biological, like, the Amy Rose & Cream the Rabbit (or Blaze the Cat) of Nintendo… if you will), maybe they’re mother and daughter (Peach being the mom and Daisy being her child that looks to be about the same age, or a bit younger, like, I think Peach, like the rest of the Star Children (at least according to Yoshi’s Island DS anyways, but because I don’t love this game anywhere near as much as the original albeit still more than Yoshi’s New Island, I probably wouldn’t consider it canon) was born in 1968 of Generation X despite looking two or three times younger and Daisy was born in 1989 of Generation Y at the same time as her debut game Super Mario Land 1) or cousins (maybe even distant ones)!)

[@PlushRushInc]

Good news! I'm from the future there is a Mario game featuring daisy & peach as Playable characters coming this October 20th

[@KremBotop]

I'm grateful this game is now getting more love overall, I was intrigued by the mere premise of a game starring Peach and its more colorful take of the traditional Mario artsyle since I first saw it as a kid. Its unique presentation and charm are stellar and I'd love for Peach to have another solo adventure someday. But... I'm so fed up of the already low-hanging fruit bashing of the NSMB games. Seriously, it's getting as old, unoriginal and stale as, ironically, how those games are now being perceived. Has everyone forgot that the DS original got as much praise and popularity as most of the 2D classics?

[@iantaakalla8180]

That staleness criticism is really best saved for Wii onwards, but the DS original is very unique. It is the only one that does not involve Bowser majorly or the Koopalings. It is the only one involving Guays from World 8 until The Origami King. Its final level is a fake out and its actual final level is very unique. The Castle stages have rocking tense music never repeated since except for spin-offs. And it plays well enough both casually and in a speedrunning sense that new tech is being found to this day. The first NSMB game is very nice. And beyond that, the Wii game and other console games onwards are not a bad time with friends. 2 is also not that bad even if the goal is infamous.

[@redmooncompany922]

people forget that the DS original is original (Wow, what a surprise), there's always the same hollow argument that all New are the same there's no difference (which is obviously a lie) Wii: has that phase design for house the multiplayer that already makes it very different from 1 2: is more solo and with those very difficult dlc stages U: that is the evolution of wii design of open/wide maps (with """multiplayer""" in mind). But are the themes of the worlds the same? Yes it is? from the Super Mario Bros. 1 are these themes, why change the "world theme" if it's just changing the level?

[@NintendoTV64]

Super Princess Peach was definitely one of my biggest guilty pleasures in the Mario series. The idea of having Peach as the main protagonist was nothing short of genius, and the gameplay mechanic of using her emotions was surprisingly fun. This game really deserved to get a sequel or at least some sort of acknowledgement in later games, as aside from the occasional mention in Smash Bros., it's largely been forgotten about. This game could've done for Peach what Yoshi's Island, Wario Land, Donkey Kong Country, and Luigi's Mansion did for Yoshi, Wario, DK, and Luigi respectively!

I love how the artstyle is influenced by Yoshi's Island.

[@FreeViewBlog]

Something I noticed when I came back to replay Super Princess Peach a couple of years ago is how badly it wants to be Super Mario World 3. The in-game character and enemy sprites feature stylistic details which take their cues from both the original Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island, nearly all of the enemies and hazards are lifted from those two games (including some series unique enemies, like the Amazin' Flyin' Hammer Bros.), and similar props like the end-world ring are clearly derivative of Yoshi's Island or Super Mario World.

I enjoyed this game (Especially along with the other Mario Princesses, Peach is my Waifu.) and I really do feel this game is underrated. I did grow up with New Super Mario Bros DS as a kid, and I didn’t know of this game. People complain about the mechanics and stuff which I personally never had a problem with, and like you I have fun with them. They never give credit to this game’s soundtrack. I loved the music. Can we also acknowledge that Peach causes Earthquakes when she’s using Rage? It’s obvious Peach is extremely powerful but we never get to see it because Nintendo rarely goes out of the mold of her getting kidnapped. I’ve seen haters of her saying they could take Peach on a fight and easily win. All I have to say is: Good luck with that you idiots. I’m also glad someone shares my hate for New Super Mario Bros 2. That game could’ve been way better than it is. It’s my least favorite and I feel very upset that this game is related to New Super Mario Bros DS and New Super Mario Bros Wii, the two better of Wii U/Wii U DX and 2. I could go full on rant about 2 and Wii U/Wii U DX. Getting 100% and Infinite Vibe in Settings is OP in this game, unlike infinite Gold Flower Houses which are useless due to Canon Levels already doing so! Don’t ever judge a book by it’s cover. New Super Mario Bros 2 looked awesome on the outside, but it was terrible compared to the previous games of the New Super Mario Bros. series, and Super Princess Peach looked too girly for some people and was overlooked, despite it being a great DS Game!

I will say that now as an adult, I'm a bit disappointed that they went with "extreme emotions controlled by the player" as their main mechanic, as (intentional or not) I feel it sort of leans into the "women are irrational and emotional" stereotype. I also agree with your criticism that the game doesn't develop Peach's character that much; we end up learning more about Perry the umbrella and his backstory than Peach lol. Would love to see her star in another game where this is handled better. (Would also love to see some of the other women in the series be featured in more non-spinoff games!!

But I can say the game looks quality, it screams creativity and charm, it's an experimental game that works. Sad Dry Bones are enemies that deserve the most sympathy, in my opinion. I'll also say I like the art style of the game too. And it's a game that makes me miss the more experimental and ambitious time where Nintendo would really go wild with their games.

In my opinion, the Soundtrack is one of the highest points of the Game being able to represent the inocence of the Princess combinated with the locations, brilliant compositions. Also, I love Peach as a character so playing this game back then was a womderful experience. I hope more people could play this game and talk about it.

It’s an underrated gem but the title is just spitting in the face of the nsmb series. I get that the nsmb games got repetitive but individually each one is great.

[@realOmegasMovie]

What a great review. I was always curious of this game, but now I definitely wanna Play it. It sounds like a good time.😄

[@georgeshaw4017]

It is, and you will probably find yourself replaying the game many times! 😊💖

This game was so good! I remember sharing a copy with my mom, and we bought one as a birthday gift for my best friend and we enjoyed it so much. I’ll never forget lending my copy to a male classmate, same story as yours-his mom refused to buy it for him because it was “too girly,” so he played it in secret, finished it, and gave it back to me. We can only hope to see this game come back 😭💕

You forgot to mention that TOSE are also made the Starfy games(really good and charming plataformers too 😁).

I so want an expanded sequel of this game, more playable characters like Daisy, Rosalina, Pauline, Toadette and Birdo would be great!

[@Ukrainian-woman-of-your-dreams]

Regardless of what many other people think or say, I still love the stages, background music, abilities, etc. on the "Super Princess Peach" game on Nintendo DS.

[@chandlerpaulk4518]

Don't forget that Wario was beatin up baddies to search for treasure

[@SuperZombiepimp]

Sort of reminds me of Kirby where the core game is easy but going after 100% is the true challenge it looks fun this really needs a switch port or a part 2

[@Illgaia]

I was 20 when I went to the store and asked for Super Princess Peach. The clerks thought it was funny, and made a couple of Mary Poppins jokes. I didn't care, I just wanted my game.

[@Wario_Guy]

You can tell it’s a good game when he doesn’t complain much about using B/A

[@bunsmasterbunny]

I still want to see Perry transformed back to normal and reunited with his grandfather. I can't believe the game doesn't cover that.

[@fahriakalin5936]

this was my mom’s favorite game - when she died our house was robbed during her funeral - i still have not bought a replacement.

[@GeorgeMarionerd]

One of my childhood favourites and I definitely intend to make a video about it someday. Such great music, such wonderful pixel art, so big and wonderful.

[@lambiepie6436]

This is my favorite DS game. As a preteen boy at the time this game came out, I had absolutely no problem broadcasting how excited I was for this game. It’s quite literally the driving reason in needed to get a DS, so could play this game about my favorite Nintendo character! On the game itself, I think you did a great job highlighting what makes it special. I even feel that Kirby and the Forgotten land has some inspiration from this game by rescuing the hidden waddle dees!

[@chris24productions]

I’ve started playing this recently and I really enjoy it, it’s feels like a better Yoshis island

I had this game downloaded on my sister's flash cart back in the day but I never played it. I'll have to give it a shot one day

[@sonic23233]

This why Peach is my favorite princess because she really cares for her friends and subjects

[@Sunnie_Summertime512]

I used to have a copy of super princess peach. The game is so nostalgic. I specifically remember struggling at the ghost levels. Unfortunately, I lost it in my car in like 2015 and then we got a new car and moved out of that state. I really miss it.

[@liamcollinson5695]

This gave me such nostalgia I played this when I was a kid on one of those shady game cards with the micro SD cards

[@Sjono]

Amy Rose wishes she could have a game where she’s the main protag

[@amirgarcia547]

I'd be hard-pressed to call this game better than NSMB DS, but it's certainly better and more original than any of its sequels. I played The Legendary Starfy before it, actually, and it turns out they were both developed by the same team, Tose. And both are overall the best Nintendo platformers on DS behind NSMB and Kirby Superstar Ultra.

[@hornedskullasmr7811]

I hope it gets a remake cuz i miss playing it

[@warrenkeith360]

You aren't lying about the game stigma back then. The commercial literally had girls in dresses running around with umbrellas but I loved peach so much that I snuck and bought it at Walmart.

[@Tablixa]

omg as a girl who used to play this when she was like 5 and forgot about it thank you for reminding me and giving me so much nostalgia

[@redkiss_PixieStar]

And Daisy is most definitely one of them always being a reskin for peach and backup color costs down or always getting invited late like she's not the original princess and the second princess even Rosalina is starting to pass her by extremely and as for peach she ain't never going nowhere invited to everything

[@AliaTastic]

Yeah this game deserves a sequel In super princess peach 2 I want more characters being playable like daisy and also new characters in her series Yeah peach needs her own series so we can see her character more This 2d game is what any other new super mario 2d games should've have been

[@RGGeek]

What a neat hidden gem. I look forward to playing this!

[@Notethos]

The commercial for this game was so fun that I had to get the game even if it meant a little bit of ridicule (I was older so I could laugh at the game but I wasn't so old that I had a few people question why I wanted this game). It is an underrated game and I'm glad to see it gets some praise. Super princess peach is the last time I enjoyed a Mario game (chronolog8cally), but the experience of playing Super princess peach was like playing Mario world when it was new

[@ghostingskies]

Lovely review! Thanks for the nostalgia trip and the smiles - it always makes me happy when SPP gets brought up. I was really charmed with the game as a kid, weird or not, and regret not being able to revisit it after losing my copy :'^] I hope more people give SPP a spin, regardless of how "girly/childish" it looks, and that Nintendo is willing to give a chance for more unique experiences like this in the future!

[@jajathenewking6131]

I remember having this game on those ds multiple bundle pack game, I enjoyed the heck out of this never completed it though, I wish I could play it again but can't time traveling and/or buy it again.

[@LovelyNayru]

Hopefully Anya Taylor-Joy’s interpretation of Peach’s character inspires Nintendo to give Peach another game!! When is the Year of Peach?? 🍑

[@alans.wendelschafer6588]

Princess Peach can control her emotions far better than I can.
