Purrjector Cat

The Purrjector Cat is an antagonistic character who appears in Princess Peach: Showtime! as a boss. He is an agent of the Sour Bunch who serves as the guardian of the Sparkle Theatre's third floor.
== Profile ==
=== Physical Appearance ===
The Purrjector Cat is a cat monster with green eyes, a collar that resembles a film reel, and gold goggles and a fanged mouth. He has clawed hands with purple paw pads.
=== Personality ===
The Purrjector Cat seems to like making cat puns, as his intro dialogue has him replace most instances of the word "you" with "mew," a sound that references a cat's regular vociferation. His willingness to say that Princess Peach and Stella are barely bit parts in Madame Grape's production reveals his loyalty to his master and the Sour Bunch.
== Battle ==
Princess Peach and the Purrjector Cat face off in a cartoony living room set. The boss peers from behind the set and attacks by swiping or slamming with his paws and tail. Peach can use her Sparkle power to hit the Purrjector Cat's paws to stop him from attacking. She must also hit a mechanical mouse that the boss sends at her to turn it into a Bomb. The Purrjector Cat's paw slam can flatten the bombs, rendering them useless. The Purrjector Cat will eventually lose his patience and project two shadowy paws that slam the ground at once to smash Peach, who must get to the centre of the arena and jump just before impact; if she gets caught on the ground when the paws strike it, the princess will take damage regardless whether she is in the centre or not. If she turned a mouse into a bomb and kept it close to or at the centre when the Purrjector Cat slams the battlefield with his shadow paws, the bomb will fly up and blow up in the Purrjector Cat's face, stunning him and exposing his dark heart to attack. Princess Peach must then irradiate the heart with her Sparkle power. At certain intervals of damage (around 30% and 65%), the Purrjector Cat will immediately recover, shielding his heart from any further damage. He will also get progressively angrier, using his paws and tail to strike more often.
== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Name ===

== Nomenclature ==
In Japanese, the Purrjector Cat is called "Projector Cat," removing the pun. His Italian name is Lumício, from lumicino ("wick") and mício (kitty).
