My Top Ten Mario Spin-offs #9: Super Princess Peach


Granted the cover probably pushed a lot of Mario fans away, because it is a bit too girly. Not exactly what a teenager buys in a Gamestop now is it? I doubt sales were good for it. 



Such a great concept though. Mario and Luigi have been captured (Was Bowser stupid enough not to kill them?), and it's up to Princess Peach to save them in one of the biggest role reversals ever. Now Mario owes her a cake. 



The game plays a lot like the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 on NES. Except with some super emotion powers and you can only play as Peach. Unlike SMB2, I actually enjoyed playing Super Princess Peach.



It's a fairly decent adventure, the only thing that might kill it is the Toad fetch quest. If you don't find all the Toads (and you can always go back to each stage) then you won't be able to face the final boss. Not too hard with a walk-through guide. It may be crap in comparison to other great Mario platformers, but I wouldn't mind playing a 3DS sequel.
