Princess Peach: Showtime!: How To Beat Madame Grape (Final Boss)

Griffins in are rare, formidable enemies that can provide plentiful experience points when killed. They can be found regularly in a few spots throughout the map, but they may also swoop down on the player while riding an ox cart. Players must use their most potent arsenal to kill the griffin before it can flee—unless players ride back to their nests, too.

Famitsu has released the latest weekly data for hardware and physical software sales in Japan, and for the third consecutive week since its release in March, Princess Peach: Showtime! has taken the top spot in the software charts. The action-adventure title sold an additional 19,000-plus units in Japan last week, taking its total to over 124,000 units.

Matthew Perry is the first boss players will encounter, a colonist Commodore set on finally capturing the «white whale» of Japanese trade. He attacks fast, has a firearm at long ranges, and can quickly take down Veiled Edges with his combos. Yet, this militiaman can be defeated with well-timed Counterspark parries and use your ally well.

Last week’s Japanese sales charts saw Princess Peach: Showtime! beating out competition from the likes of Rise of the Ronin and Dragon’s Dogma 2 to take the top spot in the software charts, and this week, the action-adventure game has managed to hold on to that position, as per the latest weekly data revealed by Famitsu. Selling over 27,000 units, it holds a decent lead over Rise of the Ronin, which climbed up to the No. 2 position with an additional 20,000 units sold.

Naosuke Ii and Akikatsu Manabe are the dual final bosses of Chapter 1 in , and they are formidable bosses at that. While taking on Naosuke alone is relatively easy, the real challenge is juggling your attention against two hard-hitting enemies. Yet, with plenty of Counterspark parries and grappling hook throws, taking the Red and Blue Demons down can be achieved with only a handful of deaths.

Wilhelmina is a romanceable NPC in , one of only two romance options currently in the game. You can meet Wilhelmina during a quest for Captain Brant and then engage in her quest later. She will request that the Arisen find incriminating evidence against the nobleman Allard, such that his reputation will be ruined, and she can exact her revenge.

Ulrika is one of two romanceable options in , a courageous leader with a passion for helping others. Compared to other romanceable options such as Wilhelmina, romancing Ulrika will require completing several more quests. Specifically, the Arisen will need to help fend off a dragon, defend against Saurian invasions, and usurp a henchman of the queen.

Alongside Peach's new ensembles in there are also several cosmetic dresses for Peach to unlock and wear throughout the game. To unlock every single dress, players will need to, not only fully complete the game, but also complete some lengthy post-game tasks.

Recently-released data indicates that Princess Peach: Showtime sales are outpacing the PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin in Japan. Princess Peach: Showtime released on March 22, an extremely busy day for the gaming industry. While it's rare for major new game releases to land on the same day, Princess Peach: Showtime shared its launch date with PS5 exclusive Rise of the Ronin and Capcom's open world action-RPG Dragon's Dogma 2.

After beating the final boss in , there is still plenty to do in the post-game. Aside from new dresses and ribbons available for purchase, players can customize the Sparkle Theater itself with elaborate decorations. Previous Darkle bosses can be rematched with new challenges to complete for Sparkle Gems, new pictures for the Photo Album can be collected, and hidden Ninja Theets located in every standard level.

Each stage in will contain several Sparkle Gems, key collectibles that are required to challenge the game's many bosses. These Gems are often hidden in sneaky ways, which is especially true for the Ninja Peach levels. Collecting every Ninja Sparkle Gem will require sneak-attacking guards, prowling over rooftops, and collecting Gem Fragments during high-speed wall-running sequences.

In the costumes that Peach wears have gotten a lot of the spotlight as they provide Peach with unique abilities and personas, but the multitude of dresses that Peach can unlock in the game are no less spectacular. Over the course of her adventures in the Sparkle Theater, Peach can unlock almost 40 gowns that she can wear while walking around the theater and at the beginning of many levels. These beautiful dresses will even appear in her cutscenes, can add a bit of unique flavor, and are often tied to achievements.
