The Hopes And Theories Surrounding An Imminent Adventure For Princess Peach

It has been over two weeks since the second Nintendo Direct of 2023 [22]. Princess Zelda has been considered America’s favourite character from the Legend of Zelda franchise, according to a recent study [3], but what about her Super Mario counterpart? Well, could she be in another castle in preparation for a brand new adventure starring her next year [11] [22] [29] [47]? The trailer for an untitled game centred around a new perspective for Princess Peach was revealed alongside a remake of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for the Nintendo Switch during the second Nintendo Direct of 2023 [22] [47]. It is nice to revisit some games from the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii days and a notable example of that would be a Call of Duty fan replaying Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the time of its respawned popularity, according to another recent survey [14], but there is some importance of letting a franchise progress with new instalments, potentially providing some new opportunities [11] [22]. Furthermore, there is a lot of speculation on how the imminent quest starring the princess of Mushroom Kingdom will excel, so without further ado, let us voyage through it with glee and grace after the adorable True North Bear wished us a Happy Canada Day [4] [11] [22]. 

I am sadly no longer active on Twitter, but I am still writing. The food industry may seem to be running out of ideas with new flavours for Walkers crisps based on Wotsits and Doritos [19] [20] [21], but many Nintendo nerds, especially admirers of Princess Peach are already hungry for what could be as sweet as the cake she baked for Mario in Super Mario 64 [27]. After all, there is nothing wrong with some femininity in gaming [8] [9] [10]. [11] [22]

And as proactive as Princess Peach seems in her imminent title [11] [22] [47], some Mario Kart racers will still have an appetite for nostalgia as they race through some new recreations, including a lovely rehash of Daisy Cruiser from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in the fifth wave of the Mario Kart 8 – Booster Course Pass in just under a week [26] [33]. [33] [56] [57].

One of the most noticeable aspects of the game revealed in the teaser aside from a pink ribbon securing Peach’s ponytail instead of her usual blue scrunchie is the absence of her iconic crown [11] [22] [47]. This could imply that some power-hungry fiend must have stolen it to become the ruler of Mushroom Kingdom in her place after either sending her to a new stage play-themed world or transforming Mushroom Kingdom into it. And no, I would not be surprised if the fiend turns out to be Bowser. I am aware that Peach has been wearing her crown since she was a baby in the games [25], but it would still be intriguing to see how she earned her titles as the princess of Mushroom Kingdom as part of an origin story, vaguely like how she became a princess in The Super Mario Bros. Movie [48]. Alternatively, the time in her imminent adventure can be a time when she has had enough of being a damsel-in-distress and vows to fight for her crown back whoever wants to take over Mushroom Kingdom or perhaps rescued Mario and Luigi from captivity, just like how she did in Super Princess Peach before retrieving it [31].

Whatever the cause of the princess’s crown absence is, I am sure that it could be part of some new character development for her. [47]

I am not the only one being reminded of Cinderella during this transformation, right [6]? [11] [22]

There is a new companion reeking of the sweet scent of cuteness [11] [22] [47], vaguely resembling the Sunflower Girls from “Store Wars”, the fourth episode of the first season of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends [12] [13]. The new character’s role could be as effective as the role of Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey and Perry from Super Princess Peach as proven by how they are used as Peach’s new attack in the teaser [30] [31]. The same can be said about some talking flowers who will play a supporting role in Super Mario Bros. Wonder [22]. These newcomers might not become as memorable as sidekicks from other franchises, such as Clank from the Ratchet & Clank series and Daxter from the Jak and Daxter franchise [40] [41] [42], but their assistance may still be deeply appreciated. As delighted as many Princess Daisy fans will be to see her newly bloomed playable role later this year [22], I would be interested to see how a new sidekick for Princess Peach would cooperate aside from transforming into a ribbon for knocking off enemies and swirling around her dress during a transformation next year [11]. I bet they can hang out with the seven Sprixie princesses from Super Mario 3D World sometime [28]. 

Behold, Nintendo nerds! A new sidekick who can fly [37]! [11] [22]

I would love to see Perry from Super Princess Peach reappear in her next adventure [31] [44]. Perhaps he could be Peach’s sidekick again in a DLC pack. It is going to work for Rayman in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, right [7]? [44]

There is not much to say about what the gameplay will be like yet, but it still ought to be motivating with some elements of originality, as well as some familiarity [11] [22] [47]. The way Peach’s dress appears to be transforming as she steps onto a stone platform with her new sidekick wowed me the most and briefly reminded me of her ice wedding dress from The Super Mario Bros. Movie [48]. This must lead to her gaining a unique power-up that is yet to be revealed in future promotional material. Surely, her imminent adventure will be a 3D platformer throughout a series of stage plays for her to strive through [11] [22] [46]. There is some scenery set in a town and a Japanese-themed set with a sakura tree. As previously mentioned, her main attacks shown in the teaser are the aid of her companion. Not only does there seem to be some new and original aspects in a new gameplay experience centred on some more new character exploration for Princess Peach with the unnamed sidekick’s help as an example, but there also ought to be a whole new location within its individuality and that is the stage play-styled setting. 

Perhaps there can finally be an explanation for the existence of Pink Gold Peach who debuted in Mario Kart 8 [25] [45]. One power-up in the upcoming journey can be a differently coloured platform that allows Peach to transform into Pink Gold Peach, much like how the Metal cap turns Mario into Metal Mario in Super Mario 64 [27]. [45]

And aside from how graceful and adventurous the princess will be in her upcoming quest [11] [22] [47], she looks absolutely adorable in this scene in the upcoming remake of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars [22]. [46]

The untitled instalment starring Princess Peach is set to be released sometime in 2024 [11] [22] [47], another year of the dragon [49]. No reference to Spyro the Dragon intended [17]! 2024 will also be the year of Deadpool 3 and Star Wars Outlaws [16] [39]. But before all that, there is hype for Detective Pikachu Returns, new wonders in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the third update for Sonic Frontiers in late 2023 [22] [54] [55]. In the meantime, I might as well stay sinful for the fifth episode of the second season of Helluva Boss this weekend and go all pink in excitement for seeing Barbie at the cinemas a little later this month [1] [2] [50] [51]. As intrigued as some DC and anime fans are at the forthcoming Suicide Squad anime series with Harley Quinn being a vague reminder of Catherine [5] [34] [52] [53] [58] [59], I am delighted that the lovely Princess Peach will be the starlet of her second own game next year [22] [47]. Furthermore, with a seemingly competent sidekick, vibrant graphics for a new stage play-themed world and some new abilities for a damsel who will not be in distress, the untitled Princess Peach game seems sure to excel, especially for the Nintendo nerds who grew up with Super Princess Peach for the Nintendo DS [31].
 

Aside from the full potential of the untitled Princess Peach game coming next year, could there be a remake of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the Nintendo Switch or the next Nintendo console [26]? That is one of the most suggested concepts to possibly be brought into action, according to yet another recent survey [32] [38]. If so, then how about letting Rosalina and Honey Queen be one of the new teams in dazzling high definition to freshen up a familiar experience [22] [24]? I always love racing as Peach and Daisy in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and I think I am going to love seeing them strive together in Super Mario Bros. Wonder [23] [26]. [43]

As sure as I am that Princess Peach of Mushroom Kingdom will relish in a new form of self-empowerment in 2024 [22] [47], I am sure Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia from Helluva Boss can still embrace his inner Barbie girl, be the best at roast battles and be intrigued by Lisa Anne-Marie Cooper’s death metal screaming [15] [35] [36]. Best of luck to all the competitors on the vanilla, strawberry, and mint chip ice cream teams in the forthcoming Splatfest [23]! [11] [22]
