This weekend, I played the second stage of Princess Peach: Showtime!, the Ninja transformation, and it was a fun change from the first stage.
Stepping into the Ninja Role
Playing Peach as a ninja adds new abilities, like wall-jumping, dash attacks, and throwing kunai. It changes how you move through the stage compared to the first level. I’m still on TV mode, and the larger screen really helps with spotting enemies and timing jumps. I haven’t tried handheld mode yet, but I’m curious to see how it looks.First Impressions of the Stage
The Ninja stage feels more dynamic. Some enemies require sneaking past, while others need a quick attack. I enjoyed how the stage feels like a mini performance, with Peach scaling walls, dashing across rooftops, and attacking the targets.I also liked the hidden collectibles—some props react when you hit them with a kunai, revealing extra items. Overall, it was a step up from the first stage without being frustrating.
Tips and Tricks for the Ninja Stage
- Practice Wall-Jumps: The timing can take a few tries, so don’t rush.
- Observe Enemy Patterns: Some sections are easier if you watch enemies first before moving.
- Explore Corners: Check props and ledges for hidden items.
- Use Dash Wisely: It can help you avoid falls or reach tricky spots.
What I Liked
- Variety: Wall-jumping and stealth sections make it feel more engaging than the first stage.
- Controls: Still intuitive and easy to use, even with the extra mechanics.
- Visuals: Peach’s movements and animations are smooth and satisfying.
- Secrets: Hidden collectibles encourage exploration without being too tricky.
