Take On Action Rehearsals

Princess Peach Showtime - Dashing Thief Rehearsal

Action Rehearsals are timed challenges in the game where players can earn performance-based rewards. Each Rehearsal is thematically tied to a main story level in the game where it retains the level's location, enemies, and even Princess Peach's Transformation.

Should You Use the Heart Charm?

Princess Peach Showtime - Heart Charm

Heart Charms will give you three extra hearts while playing through a level. If you want the game to be a little easier or avoid the hassle of resetting back to checkpoints again and again, consider turning it on from a Theet in the theater lobby!

What Happens If You Die?

Princess Peach Showtime - 10 Coins Penalty on Death
Dying isn't that big of a deal in this game. You'll lose coins upon losing all your hearts, but you'll be returned to a nearby checkpoint.

Too many deaths in a level will also make the game take pity on you and let you pass the level in exchange for all the coins you've collected in it.

What Happens If You Die?

How to Do the Wall Hide Technique

Ninja Peach has the ability to do the wall hide technique while playing through her levels. This allows you to blend into walls to hide from the enemy.
