Nintendo has sneakily changed the key art for the upcoming game Princess Peach: Showtime!, altering her face structure and expression.

The new key art changes Peach to have a less rounded face, larger eyes, and a larger mouth. This ultimately results in a change that some fans fear makes her too similar to her movie counterpart. It’s unclear if this is intentional.

Peach is also more angry in her Kung Fu costume, and while these changes look like another case of “angry US box art“, the changes also appear to have made it to the Japanese visuals.

You can check out a comparison of the original and altered key visual below (left is the original).

Princess Peach must save the day as she takes the spotlight in her very own game

Princess Peach’s trip to the Sparkle Theater goes off script when the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch steal the show! Partner with the theater’s guardian, Stella, to call curtains on this tragedy by using a powerful ribbon and taking on several starring roles—each with their own look and abilities.

Transform to fit the role and use showstopping abilities to save the day

Fend off the Sour Bunch with sensational swordplay as a swordfighter…en garde! In another role, Peach puts on her detective hat to find out whodunnit in a museum mystery. From kung fu master to pastry chef, Peach’s roles give you distinctly powerful ways to save the play!

What other transformations are just behind the curtain?

At the time of writing, it’s unclear if her in-game model will be altered to match.

Princess Peach: Showtime! is set to release March 22, 2024.
