Super Princess Peach

Super Princess Peach is a 2005 Nintendo DS platformer developed by Tose, marking one of the rare occasions where Princess Peach takes the lead role. Mario, Luigi, and Toad have been captured by Bowser, and Peach sets out across eight worlds to rescue them. The central mechanic is the Vibe system — four emotional states (Joy, Rage, Gloom, Calm) that grant temporary powers including flight, fire attacks, and health recovery, all draining a shared Vibe meter.

Each world requires saving three Toads from specific locations before the boss stage unlocks — missing any blocks access until you return and complete the rescue. The Vibe meter refills from enemy contact and depletes during active use, so choosing the right power for the right moment is the core skill beyond standard platforming.
