One day in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a [[Toad]] is sent a flier advertising a show at the [[Sparkle Theater]], which [[Princess Peach]] and some Toads decide to attend. Suddenly, the wicked [[Grape (character)|Grape]] and the [[Sour Bunch]] invade and take over the theater. A gust of wind blows away Peach's crown, her suitcase, the Toads, some [[Theet|Theets]], and some fliers. Meanwhile, Peach is trapped inside. She teams up with the theater's guardian [[Stella]] to stop them. | One day in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a [[Toad]] is sent a flier advertising a show at the [[Sparkle Theater]], which [[Princess Peach]] and some Toads decide to attend.

Throughout the game, Peach and Stella rid the theater plays of the Sour Bunch. This involves Peach transforming into one of ten ensembles: [[Swordfighter Peach|Swordfighter]], [[Detective Peach|Detective]], [[Patissiere Peach|Patissiere]], [[Kung Fu Peach|Kung Fu]], [[Ninja Peach|Ninja]], [[Cowgirl Peach|Cowgirl]], [[Figure Skater Peach|Figure Skater]], [[Dashing Thief Peach|Dashing Thief]], [[Mermaid Peach|Mermaid]], and [[Mighty Peach|Mighty]], depending on the type of play.

This involves Peach transforming into one of ten ensembles: [[Swordfighter Peach|Swordfighter]], [[Detective Peach|Detective]], [[Patissiere Peach|Patissiere]], [[Kung Fu Peach|Kung Fu]], [[Ninja Peach|Ninja]], [[Cowgirl Peach|Cowgirl]], [[Figure Skater Peach|Figure Skater]], [[Dashing Thief Peach|Dashing Thief]], [[Mermaid Peach|Mermaid]], and [[Mighty Peach|Mighty]], depending on the type of play, as well as making use of [[Sparkle]] when she is not currently using a transformation. Peach also has to find and save the ten [[Sparkla]]s, a group of Theets who are the stars of each type of play. | ||
Eventually, Peach and Stella come face to face with Grape. With assistance from the Sparklas, Peach transforms into [[Radiant Peach]] in order to battle Grape. Peach ultimately defeats her, and Grape disappears. All that is left is her mask. As Peach and Stella walk away, the mask laughs, and Grape suddenly comes back to life, destroying the Sparkle Theater in the process. Peach transforms into a more powerful version of her Radiant transformation, known as [[Super Radiant Peach]], and is forced to battle Grape once again. | Eventually, Peach and Stella come face to face with Grape.

Once Grape is defeated for good, Peach rebuilds the theater with her powers. She transforms back into her normal self as the Sparklas and Theets approach her and Stella. They all turn to the camera to the sound of applause, take a bow (with the exception of Peach, who curtsies instead) and wave goodbye as confetti | Once Grape is defeated for good, Peach rebuilds the theater with her powers. She transforms back into her normal self as the Sparklas and Theets approach her and Stella. They all turn to the camera to the sound of applause, take a bow (with the exception of Peach, who curtsies instead) and wave goodbye as confetti rains down on them. Finally, Peach winks at the player and [[Fourth wall|thanks them]] for helping her out. | ||
During the credits, photos show highlights from the game, before coming to still shots of Peach reuniting with the Toads. The pink ribbon that held Peach's hair in place magically unties itself. One of the Toads hands Stella the crown, which she places on Peach's head. The credits end with a photo of Peach and Stella high-fiving surrounded by the Theets, and zooms out to reveal an envelope, a letter, and Peach's crown, all sitting on Peach's bedside table. | During the credits, photos show highlights from the game, before coming to still shots of Peach reuniting with the Toads.

Jump and Action can be natively swapped in the game's settings, so that Jump is set to {{button|switch|B}}, and Action to {{button|switch|A}}. In-game control hints will change to reflect such a swap. | Jump and Action can be natively swapped in the game's settings, so that Jump is set to {{button|switch|B}}, and Action to {{button|switch|A}}.

The game requires two Joy-Con or a Pro Controller to play. Although "Change Button Mapping" in the Nintendo Switch settings can be used to map all gameplay movement buttons onto a single Joy-Con, limitations with the button mapping regarding the analog stick's Y-axis prevent a single Joy-Con from being used horizontally. | The game requires two Joy-Con or a Pro Controller to play.

The game supports haptic feedback, with very light shakes when Peach attacks an enemy, walks onto a backroom pose elevator or the Star Lift, or touches an item or obstacle. The controller also vibrates during some large scenery movements. Rumble can be toggled in the "Options" settings. | |||
Despite the game requiring an analog stick, Peach cannot move truly 360°. In the 3D sections, she can only run in eight directions (up, down, sideways, diagonal) and has no option to walk slower by partially tilting the stick. A few levels, including [[The Case of the Rainy-Day Plot]], have specific sections where Peach can sneak but not run. | |||

Peach has 12 transformations in the game. Most transformations affect how high she can jump. The jump heights loosely correspond to how heavy the platforming elements are: Kung Fu Peach can jump more than twice her own height, while Detective Peach can only jump half her own height. | |||
