== Story ==
One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, a Toad is sent a flier advertising a show at the Sparkle Theater, and Princess Peach and some Toads decide to go see it. Suddenly, the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch invade and take over the theater. Peach teams up with the theater's guardian, Stella, to stop them.
== Gameplay ==
Princess Peach: Showtime! is themed after a stage play, and it takes place in Sparkle Theater, where Peach and Stella team up to reclaim the theater from Grape and the Sour Bunch.
At the start, Stella gives her power to Peach, turning her hair in a ponytail tied with a magenta bow instead of her usual crown. Stella can turn into a long ribbon Peach can use to interact with on-stage elements, such as props and characters. When she stands on a particular spot on stage, Peach is capable of transforming into various costume-like forms that match the stage, each having a different fighting style.
