If you haven’t given Princess Peach’s latest adventure on the Switch a go, there’s a demo available for download on the eShop. Be sure to give our review of the game a read over on Nintendo Life. Allow me to share our thoughts on the matter:

“We had expected a rather throwaway offering here, a bunch of minigames and Mario-lite platforming maybe, but what we’ve got is one of the better kid-focused games on Switch. There’s creativity, style, and fun to spare here, with levels packed full of secrets, cool outfits, and enough new mechanics to ensure nothing ever outstays its welcome.”
