List of Contents

What Happens If You Die?

Respawn Back to a Checkpoint

Princess Peach Showtime - Checkpoint

Dying in Princess Peach! Showtime will bring you back to the last checkpoint you reached. But don't worry, the game provides plenty of checkpoints so it won't be too much of a hassle everytime you die.

Get Prompt to Turn On Heart Charm

Princess Peach Showtime - Heart Charm on Death

After dying twice in a level, the game will give you the option to use the Heart Charm. This will give you three extra hearts to play with when you respawn allowing you to take more hits.

Heart Charm Guide

Get Prompt to Complete Level

Princess Peach Showtime - Skip Level on Death

When you die a couple of times in a level, the game will also give you the option to spend all your coins obtained within the level to complete it. The prompt appears after dying about 5 times.

Penalties for Dying

10 Coins per Death

Princess Peach Showtime - 10 Coins Penalty on Death

For every death, 10 coins are deducted from the coins you collected within the level as a penalty. Dying with zero coins will still bring you back to the last checkpoint and your coins will stay at zero.

How to Farm Coins

Running Out of Coins

Princess Peach Showtime - Out of Coins Skip Level

After dying multiple times with zero coins, you will be given the option to complete the level for free.

Sparkle Gems Are Retained

Princess Peach Showtime - Sparkle Gems

Sparkle Gems you obtain before you die still count as being collected. Collecting the same Sparkle Gems after dying will give you 10 coins instead.
