Wow, what a peachy surprise!

User Rating: 9.4 | Super Princess Peach DS
I started playing Super Princess Peach with a bit of trepidation. Although I do like side scrolling games, the last few Mario side scrollers have been way to complicated for me with all the warps, power ups, huge worlds, and complicated decisions to make. Would SPP fall into the same category?

At first it appeared so. There were a lot of quick tutorials to read through, and it soon became apparent that I would have to switch between Peach's four different moods to get through the game. It all started feeling very complicated.

But then something amazing happened. The game just unfolded in the most natural & logically progressive way. Puzzles and challenges got just a bit harder every level, but never overwhelming. After a couple of levels, using Peach's moods became second nature. And although there are plenty of adventures available on each level, it's always clear which way to go.

I love this game! It is just the perfect difficulty for me and probably my favorite DS game so far.

Who needs Mario? I've got Peach.
