Adorable, lighthearted game that little girls will love…and unfortunately probably only little girls. Pros: the boss fights are unique, all the different costumes and gameplay concepts make the game itself a very different Nintendo title, having the option to change Peach’s dress patterns is fantastic and very appealing to a female gamer. Cons: controls are simple to the point of making it feel dumbed-down, completing levels is ridiculously easy, but completion is stupidly frustrating (not hard—just maddening), and nearly all of Peach’s dresses are pink, with no options to change the color—only the pattern (unless this changes later—I’m only halfway through so far), and the music sounds like recycled music from Mario Rabbids. Also feels weird that Peach has nothing tying her to the Mario universe—not even her signature Toads. Literally any female character could have headed this game, which just makes it feel like Peach’s name got slapped on it for marketability, not that this was truly her game all along. Game-Ruining Extra: level completion is insanely frustrating, as it often requires replaying an entire level over again several times because you made one mistake…subjecting you to watching those same cutscenes all over again because THEY’RE UNSKIPABLE. Overall could have been much better; feels like a great concept got a bit mired down along the way. Releasing a patch to skip the cutscenes would fix a lot of the problems. Super Princess Peach was a better game, and Showtime just feels forgettable and bland, rather than fun.

19 years later and still the best comedy I've ever watched. So many memorable parts, quotable bits, and not a single wasted moment. Excellent pacing, casting, story, and dialog.

I think I lost brain cells watching this recycled and poorly written "movie." I've seen better straight to dvd prequels and gotten more enjoyment out of children's educational movies than this.

Better than The Office, not as great as Parks and Rec or Better off Ted.
