Super Princess Quest

Super Princess Quest is an upcoming platformer game for the Nintendo Switch. It serves as a spiritual successor to Super Princess Peach, similarly featuring Princess Peach as its primary heroine while Mario and Luigi take side roles. The game also serves as the Mario series debut of Princess Demetria.
==Story==
It's a bright and sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom and the residents are eagerly taking advantage of the rare peace. Bowser and his crew of baddies are nowhere in sight, and it seems all is well... until an urgent letter arrives at Princess Peach's Castle.
Help!
It seems Bowser has been busy elsewhere! Princess Peach's friend, Princess Demetria, has found herself victim to Bowser's villainous ways.
Bwa-ha-ha! Princess Demetria is mine! If you ever want to see her again, you'd better turn yourself in, Peach! Until then, I'll be turning this ice into my own personal hot tub!
With the Holly Kingdom in danger, Peach refuses to stand by. She decides to do something about it herself, and without the help of Mario and Luigi! Joined by her good friends Princess Daisy, Rosalina, and Toad, Peach departs for the Holly Kingdom.
Oh nooooooo!
Things are even worse than Peach imagined! The beautiful wintry conditions of the Holly Kingdom are being melted away by Bowser. Without Princess Demetria, the Penginos who inhabit the kingdom are at a loss as to what to do. Peach doesn't waste time asking Demetria's retainer Pengina where Bowser is keeping the princess, then sets off to stop him.
Princess Peach is coming to defeat me herself? HAH! She'll have to fight through my toughest underlings first! That pathetic princess doesn't stand a chance!
Don't give up, Peach! We believe in you!
==Gameplay==
The gameplay of this 2.5D platformer is inspired by Super Mario Bros. 2 and, by extension, Doki Doki Panic. Like in those games, Peach and company can stand on top of enemies, pick them up, and throw them. It is also possible to pluck items from tufts of grass. Also like in Super Mario Bros. 2, characters have a life meter, which can contain up to three hearts, and will die when it runs out. Super Princess Quest also incorporates the four player co-op seen in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U.
A world map is also present, functioning like that of Super Mario 3D World.
===Controls===
*Walk: Tilt left joystick left/right
*Run: B + tilt left joystick left/right
*Jump: A
*Lift/Pluck/Interact: B
*Crouch: Tilt left joystick down
*Enter Door: Tilt left joystick up
==Characters==
===Playable===
*Princess Peach: The main heroine of the game. Princess Peach boasts balanced speed, power, and jump height. If the jump button is held in midair, Peach will hover for a short amount of time.
*Princess Daisy: The princess of Sarasaland and Peach's sworn sister. Princess Daisy trades power for speed, moving faster but being much slower to pluck or lift enemies and being unable to throw things as far. If the jump button is pressed in midair, Daisy can jump a second time; in exchange, her normal jump is shorter.
*Rosalina: The guardian of the cosmos. Rosalina is the slowest of the four characters but has the greatest power and moderate jump strength. If the B button is tapped, Rosalina will perform a Star Spin that can defeat enemies instantly and break certain blocks.
*Toad: Peach's loyal retainer. Toad has the lowest power in the game, but the highest jump. Toad's speed seems modest at first, but after running for a few seconds, he will receive an extra boost of speed that makes him the fastest in the game.
===Supporting===
*Birdo: Birdo serves as a shopkeeper, running the Birdo's Gorgeous Goods blimp that can be found at the beginning of every world.
*Pengina: Pengina, Demetria's retainer, stays behind at Holly Palace, providing gameplay tips and tutorials whenever Peach returns.
*Penginos: The Penginos are the natives of the Holly Kingdom and run Igloos throughout the game. Different colored Igloos have different functions:
**Yellow Penginos: Yellow Penginos run Yellow Igloos, which give a choice between three simple power-ups. Yellow Penginos are the most common.
**Blue Penginos: Blue Penginos run Blue Igloos, which provide a minigame where Peach can earn Coins or power-ups.
**Green Penginos: Green Penginos run Green Igloos, which provide a minigame where Peach can earn Coins or extra lives.
**Red Penginos: Red Penginos run Red Igloos, which provide Super Stars. Red Igloos appear on the world map whenever a level is failed fifteen times in a row.
**Purple Pengino: A single Purple Pengino runs a Purple Igloo, which provides records and can only be accessed once the main plot is completed.
===Villains===
*Bowser: Bowser is the main villain and final boss of the game.
*Kamek: Kamek serves as Bowser's second-in-command and powers up the bosses that Peach faces.
*Pom Pom: Pom Pom appears as a recurring boss, taking the role typically filled by Boom Boom.
*Blue Boo: Blue Boo returns from Super Mario World as a recurring boss, alternating with Pom Pom.
==Items==
*Heart: Refills the life meter by one heart.
*Coin: Adds to the score. Collecting one hundred will grant an extra life.
*1-Up Mushroom: Grants an extra life.
*3-Up Moon: Grants three extra lives.
*Koopa Shell: Found buried under grass or on the back of Koopas, Koopa Shells can be thrown as usual to defeat enemies.
*POW Block: Usually found buried under grass, throwing a POW Block will defeat all enemies on the screen.
*Turnip: Basic projectiles found buried under grass.
*Character Medals: Special coins depicting the faces of the playable characters. One per character is hidden in every level and can only be accessed by using the power of that character (or the corresponding power-up).
===Power-Ups===
Super Princess Quest utilizes a power-up storage method that combines those seen in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World: a larger collection can be viewed on the world map, but a single back-up item can also be used in levels. It is possible to set this back-up item as well as the characters' current forms
*Fire Flower: Transforms the collector into their fire form, allowing them to throw fireballs until they take damage.
*Gold Flower: Transforms the collector into their golden form for a short amount of time, allowing them to collect massive amounts of coins and throw golden fireballs. This form is also canceled when they take damage.
*Super Star: Grants the collector invincibility for a short period of time.
*Super Leaf: Transforms the collector into their raccoon form until they take damage, replacing their typical special ability with Peach's ability to hover.
*Super Acorn: Transforms the collector into their flying squirrel form until they take damage, replacing their typical special ability with Daisy's ability to double jump.
*Super Feather: Transforms the collector into their caped form until they take damage, replacing their typical special ability with Rosalina's ability to spin attack.
*Super Bell: Transforms the collector into their cat form until they take damage, replacing their typical special ability with Toad's ability to dash.
*Birdo Egg: Only available from Birdo's Gorgeous Goods. The Birdo Egg automatically goes into the back-up storage. If spawned in a level, it will grow massive before bowling forward until it crashes into a wall or falls into a pit. As it crushes enemies, it gathers score, eventually granting the heroes extra lives as well as clearing them a path.
==Worlds==
There are six worlds in the game. Each world contains at least one mid-boss and one world boss. As Peach and company draw nearer to Bowser's hideout, the world becomes less icy and more melted.

Boss 	Description
Petey Piranha 	Petey is found in the castle in Holly Plains. His main two attacks are jumping and trying to land on the heroes, or barfing poisonous goop. While he prepares for the second attack, turnips found buried in the battlefield can be thrown into his mouth. Once he eats three, he will fall over, allowing the heroes to stomp on his exposed belly button to damage him. After doing this twice, Kamek will appear and power him up, allowing him to fly and adding two new attacks to his moveset: barfing poisonous goop from above, where turnips can't reach him, and flying into the background of the battlefield to launch tornados at the heroes. Two more hits to his belly button will defeat him.
Foo Queen 	The Foo Queen is found in the castle on Mount Gusto. She floats around the battlefield, blowing gusts of air to try and push the heroes into pits on either side. If the turnips that grow on the bottom of the battlefield are thrown at her, she will dodge. Eventually, she will float to the center of the ground and begin spinning rapidly while blowing out air, which can only be dodged by crouching. She will then become dizzy, allowing the heroes to hit her with a turnip. After doing this twice, Kamek will appear and power her up, causing her to move much faster and causing her gusts of air to freeze the heroes, making it nearly impossible to avoid falling into the pits if hit. Two more hits with a turnip will defeat her.
Gooper Blooper 	Gooper Blooper is found in the castle in Frosty Falls. He appears in the background of the battlefield and attempts to crush the heroes by slamming his tentacles into the ground. If his tentacles are jumped on, they will be crushed flat. Crushing four tentacles will cause him to collapse, bringing his head into the foreground where it can be jumped on, damaging him. After doing this twice, Kamek will appear and power him up, adding another attack to his moveset where he blows bubbles, which can catch the heroes and cause them to float aimlessly and out of control until they shake free or are popped by another hero. Two more jumps to his head will defeat him.
King Boo 	King Boo is found in the castle in Snowflake Forest. He floats around the battlefield, launching blue fireballs at the heroes. If the heroes can lure the fireballs into the curtains visible in the background, they will burn off of the windows; once all of the windows are exposed, when lightning strikes outside, he will be stunned, allowing the heroes to hit him with a turnip, at which point he will cause the curtains to reappear. After doing this twice, Kamek will appear and power him up, allowing him to launch three fireballs at once and adding a new attack, where he floats to the center of the screen and causes two three fireball-long bars to spin around him. Two more hits with a turnip will defeat him.
King Bob-Omb 	King Bob-Omb is found in the castle in Frigid Caverns. Uniquely, his boss fight takes place on two separate islands in a pool of lava. King Bob-Omb throws Bob-Ombs, attempting to knock the heroes into the lava. The heroes must throw the Bob-Ombs back at him to knock him into the lava. Once he falls in once, Kamek will appear and power him up, allowing him to throw three Bob-Ombs at a time, making them harder to dodge, and causing him to slowly walk back to the front of the platform after being hit, making it necessary to hit him more often to make any progress. One more dunk in the lava will defeat him.
Bowser 	Bowser is found in the castle in Frostbite Volcano. He fights in a typical pattern, breathing fireballs and tossing hammers as the heroes as they approach. If they can get around him to the axe, the bridge will drop and he will fall in the lava, seemingly defeating him.
Dry Bowser 	After Bowser is defeated, before Peach and company can rescue Princess Demetria, Kamek appears and uses his magic to revive Bowser, causing a gigantic Dry Bowser to appear from the lava and grab Demetria's cage. The heroes must flee as Dry Bowser smashes the castle behind them and launches massive fireballs at them. Eventually, they will arrive in a vertical tower, at which point Dry Bowser will begin scaling upward after them. Once they reach the top of the tower, there is another axe, which will fall into a massive pile of Bob-Ombs, causing them to detonate and destroy the walls Dry Bowser is clinging onto, causing him to plummet as the castle collapses on top of him. As he falls, he tosses Demetria's cage, freeing her as she and the heroes float safely down to the top of the castle's remains by using parasols.
Pom Pom 	Pom Pom appears as the boss of the towers in Holly Plains and Frosty Falls and the first tower of Frigid Caverns. In her first fight, she jumps around and throws her boomerang at the heroes. If the heroes jump on top of the boomerang, it will fall to the ground, allowing them to pick it up and throw it back at Pom Pom, causing her to retreat into her shell and slide back and forth for a few seconds before repeating the previous strategy. In her second fight, she sprouts wings after the first hit, throwing the boomerang from above and making it harder to jump on. In her second fight, she is joined by a duplicate of herself, which cannot be damaged by the boomerang but will sprout wings after the real Pom Pom is hit once, while the real Pom Pom will no longer sprout wings. Three hits from the boomerang will always defeat her.
Blue Boo 	Blue Boo appears as the boss of the towers in Mount Gusto and Snowflake Forest and the second tower of Frigid Caverns. In his first fight, he floats around, trying to hit the heroes. He is usually translucent, making him immune to the turnips that grow in the battlefield, but will occasionally become fully solid, allowing him to be damaged. In his second fight, he turns solid less regularly. In this third fight, he will teleport around instead of moving, making him harder to hit. Three hits with a turnip will always defeat him.
Pom Pom & Blue Boo	Pom Pom and Blue Boo fight together in the first tower of Frostbite Volcano. Pom Pom still hops around and throws her boomerang while Blue Boo slowly moves towards the hero, occasionally turning solid. If Pom Pom's boomerang is thrown at her, she will now hide in her shell; however, it can be thrown at Blue Boo while he is solid, causing him to fall from the sky. If he lands on Pom Pom, they both take damage. After one hit, Blue Boo starts turning solid with less frequency while Pom Pom jumps around more; after two hits, Blue Boo begins teleporting while Pom Pom sprouts wings. After three hits, they are defeated.
Kamek 	Kamek appears as the boss of the second tower in Frostbite Volcano. Kamek will summon each of the world bosses in order, as well as reshaping the battlefield to match; however, one hit will defeat each of these replicas. Once all five have been defeated, Kamek will reshape the battlefield to have several block platforms and begin fighting the heroes directly, teleporting around the blocks and launching magic at them. One hit with a turnip will defeat him.
