Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) | comment |
Princess Peach: Showtime! is an Action-Adventure game developed by Good-Feel for the Nintendo Switch. The first game in the Super Mario Bros. franchise to star Princess Peach in a leading role since 2005's Super Princess Peach, it released on March 22, 2024.What was meant to be a relaxing night of theatre for Peach and her Toads goes horribly wrong when the mysterious witch Grape and her minions, the Sour Bunch, take over the Sparkle Theatre and trap the performers in their own plays. Working with the theatre's guardian, Stella, Peach must travel into the various plays and transform into various roles — from a swordfighter, to a detective, to a pastry chef, to a kung-fu fighter, to a cowgirl, to a ninja — to set things right.Previews: Nintendo Direct trailer, Transformation Trailer, Transformation Trailer: Act II, Overview Trailer | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Grape treats her villain status as a role in a grand stage production, aspiring to create tragedies and spread despair. She gets overly excited when Peach reaches the final stage, stating she would make a great Foil for her tragedy to defeat her at the last moment just as everyone had put all of their hopes in her. | |

Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Even though Peach can jump, this is averted and she takes damage when jumping on enemies. It's the first and main indication to the player that this is not a "Mario" game, but rather a whole new universe and spinoff starring Peach, and the player has to make use of her ribbon powers to defeat enemies. | |

Morphic Resonance | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_15827a31 | comment |
Morphic Resonance: Downplayed since it's not shapeshifting but costume changing. Each of Peach's different costumes will always retain Peach's blue brooch she usually wears on her chest. Swordfighter Peach: On her cravat close to where she normally wears it. Ninja Peach: On a gold cord wrapped around her waist. Cowgirl Peach: A pin for the bandana she wears around her neck. Pâtissière Peach: Upper left button on her buttoned blouse. Dashing Thief Peach: Pinned to her coat's right lapel. Figure Skater Peach: On the neckline of the dress close to where she wears it on her normal dress. Detective Peach: On her shirt just above the collar of her uniform. Mermaid Peach: The gemstone of a pearl necklace. Kung Fu Peach: Hanging from the stick used to hold her braid in place. Mighty Peach is the only aversion; hers is not seen on her usual model. The Mario Wiki claims it's visible on her wrists when using super strength. | |

Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_15da4941 | comment |
Badass Adorable: Any of the bystander Theets that help out are this by default given their utterly adorable appearance with their giant color-changing noses. But the Sparklas take the cake for this, as their outfits make them look like kids playing dress-up but are just as effective as Peach is in their respective roles. | |

The Wild West: Fittingly for the Cowgirl Peach plays, they take place in a setting based on the American West. The Sour Bunch are a gang of bandits who terrorize the town, and its up to Cowgirl Peach to stop them. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: In a few levels, Theets will occasionally be mind-controlled or possessed by the Sour Bunch. Of particular note, the Darkla figure skater kidnaps the dancers of the play to take as his own, a Sour Bunch vendor gives out cookies that turn the Theets attending the Sweet Festival into sugar-ravenous zombies, and the Pâtissière Sparkla is possessed/controlled by the Pâtissièr Darkla when Peach and Stella find her. | |

Clothes Make the Superman: There are shining sparkles that grant Peach a costume that confers special abilities upon her, as she doesn't have them in her regular clothes. Special mention goes to her Mighty Peach ensemble, which multiplies her strength by a factor of thirty, according to its in-game description in the Collection menu. | |

Graceful Loser: The Pâtissièr Darkla is shown to be this after he lost to Pâtissière Peach and the Pâtissière Sparkla, but only after trying one of their Sparkle cookies for himself. The Figure Skater Darkla also declares how beautiful Peach and her troupe are before disappearing, even after Peach has broken his control over the Figure Skater Sparkla's imprisonment. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: Fail twice at a play and Stella will offer the player a heart charm to extend Peach's hearts from five to eight, but fail a few more times in the same section after that and the game takes pity on you and gives you the option to just skip the level entirely. Earning this ironically takes more effort than succeeding. | |

Stealth Pun | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: As indicated by the trailer, Peach is starring in her own game once again, this time revolving around a theater play. She's literally having A Day in the Limelight. In the trailer, Princess Peach is aided by the star-shaped guardian Stella. She becomes the leading lady, or the star of the show. The trailer reveals that the baddies in the game are the witch Grape and the Sour Bunch. Would that make them The Grapes of Wrath? Peach gets a Super Mode in the form of Radiant and later Super Radiant Peach, becoming literally Super Princess Peach. | |

Perverse Puppet: The Darkle bosses and minibosses have glowing purple marionette strings and visibly jointed limbs, Grape herself being the obvious exception. Their bodies fall apart when defeated or vulnerable, showing their true forms as globs of darkness inside constructed bodies (made out of theater equipment in the main bosses' case, where their masks detach in a similar manner to Grape). | |

Mythology Gag | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Princess Peach Showtime! has some nods to other games in the franchise, most notably Super Princess Peach: The Theets' noses change colors to depending on their emotions — red for anger, yellow for joy, and blue for sadness—Not unlike that of the Rage, Joy, and Gloom Vibes. In the finale, their noses turn a bluish-green when providing the strength for Peach to transform again—while this color is reserved for Sparkle power, it may also allude to the Calm Vibe and its restoring/healing properties. Peach's sidekick is again a bright-yellow colored creature who accompanies her on her adventure. Bonus points in that Perry and Stella give Peach powers and abilities to defend herself. Grape pulls a Victory Fakeout on Peach and transforms into a gigantic form for the final battle, much like Bowser did previously. Also like before, Grape's transformation destroys the battle arena. Much like Bowser's final form, Grape's weak spot is her eyes/face that Peach must attack. Peach delivers one final blow to Grape after defeating her, like she did to Bowser after defeating him. Peach's adventure again takes place on an island away from the Mushroom Kingdom; the Sparkle Theater is stationed on an lone island, not unlike that of Vibe Island. Peach battles a bird boss who attacks with eggs and has Weaponized Offspring, much like Hoo. After the end of the game, the Ninja Sparkla introduces the Hide And Seek Challenge, where Peach has to go back through prior plays to find three hidden Theets - the Sparkla prisons have one hidden Theet each. In Super Princess Peach, Peach had to find and rescue three Toads in the levels, and the remixed levels have three puzzle pieces substitute for the Toads. The prologue in the lobby before Grape appears plays a lot like that of Luigi's Mansion 3, except the player is controlling Peach instead of Luigi. She even brought one of her pink suitcases as seen in that game, but this time she avoids Lots of Luggage. The opening movie is similar too, with Peach receiving a flyer for the Sparkle theater just like Luigi got one for the Last Resort hotel. The difference here, of course, is that the theatre isn't usually a scam; it just happened to get attacked when Peach visited. | |

The latter is animated like a regular horse, while the former's legs are all shown bending in angles in line with their puppet appearance. | |

Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_2f8253ba | comment |
Perfect Disguise, Terrible Acting: The two crooks in the first act of the Detective play hide fairly well among the museum with magical disguise masks—clues that track them aside. But all the "Theets" in Detective Sparkla's prison either try to deliberately hinder Peach, blatantly lie to her, get key information wrong or sing the praises of the Sour Bunch and/or Grape herself, making it easy to tell that they're not real Theets. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The main theme of the game. Peach is the idealistic heroine who uses Sparkle Magic which raises the spirit of others and give the plays a happier ending. Grape and her minions are the cynical antagonists who use the evil Darkle Magic and aspire to create tragic plays. | |

Platform-Activated Ability: As hinted in the game's reveal teaser and then shown in the first proper trailer, Peach gains a special costume transformation when she stands on a circular stand with a glowing point of light, not only changing her current attire but also gaining moves based on the costume in question. Transformations include a swordfighter, a detective, a pâtissière, and a martial artist. Later trailers revealed that she can also be a ninja, cowgirl, figure skater, Phantom Thief, mermaid, and a space-themed superhero. There are several others hidden platforms within the game as well, leading to optional areas for Coins or Sparkle Gems. | |

Master of Threads: Shown in the trailer. In her normal appearance, Peach can use a magical ribbon to attack enemies, and also allows her to transform into different costumes, which give her different powers and abilities. | |

Victory Fakeout | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_3d260e8c | comment |
Victory Fakeout: After Radiant Peach delivers the finishing blow to Grape, it seems that she and Stella won the battle, with Grape reduced to nothing more than a mask. Sure enough, Grape gets back up for round 2, taking on a new form named Grape the Great and destroying the entire Sparkle Theater. With the help of all the Theets and Sparklas, Peach takes on a brand new form dubbed Super Radiant Peach and goes up against Grape once more. The cutscene's title indirectly references it, with it being titled: "Victory! Or is it?". | |

Macguffin: Sparkle Gems. Peach gains them from doing special tasks during each play (she can get these before transforming. Some of them are always gained and some require optional tasks). Stella takes them to fight the boss monsters on each floor. It's never really explained what they are. There is also the transformation ball of light, which is the essence of an actor's role within the show. These are always obtained upon the first show for a form, whereas any others will start with the transformation. | |

Player Nudge | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_450a63b5 | comment |
The player is taken through a brief tutorial on Sparkle Power and how it works to brighten up Theets. Shortly after the tutorial ends and the level begins proper, Peach is subtly pointed in the direction of some ungrown plants. The player, after being taught about Sparkle, will use the Sparkle Power on the plants, which will yield three coins. This naturally will encourage the player to experiment with the ribbon and see what other objects they can interact with. | |

Ambiguous Gender | |

Ambiguous Gender: The Cowboy Sparkla is labeled “Cowgirl Sparkla� during the level where they’re rescued, but lacks the eyelashes denoting female Theets, leaving their gender uncertain in the game. For that matter, the gender of the Sparklas overall is a bit ambiguous save for Pâtissière, Mermaid, and Figure Skater. The Sparklas are referred to as "they" even in singular cases (including the Pâtissière Sparkla), and the Mario Wiki page for them treats them as a Gender-Equal Ensemble.note Pâtissière, Mermaid, Figure Skater, Swordfighter, and Cowgirl Sparklas are all treated as female. Ninja, Dashing Thief, Detective, Mighty, and Kung Fu Sparklas are treated as male. | |

Tailor-Made Prison | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_4e1d9178 | comment |
Tailor-Made Prison: A few of the Sparklas' prisons in the basement operate as this. Dashing Thief Sparkla is held captive in a vault-like prison and a high-tech cell powered by a central lock protected by four other locks in the corners of the facility that keeps him suspended in midair to prevent any attempted hacking or escape artistry. He can still notice Peach's entry and talk, though. Downplayed with Detective Sparkla, who is kept in a copy of the museum from his play with obstacles meant to flummox any attempts to deduce a way out. It's filled with fake Theets that always give false clues, hidden passages triggered by somewhat cryptic puzzles, three imposters of himself imprisoned alongside him, a looping pair of rooms with only one hidden exit, and a fake Junior Detective that will attempt to trick you into a false exit. Mighty Sparkla is apparently kept in stasis, the pod housing him protected by multiple force fields that the Professor Theet needs to disengage while Mighty Peach protects him. Once they're undone and the capsule hits the ground, it shatters with one punch from Mighty Peach and frees the captive hero. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: A justified example as Peach doesn't technically die. There are no lives, and not even a Game Over. If Peach's hearts run out, she gives up and the player has to start the current segment over again, at the cost of 10 coins. If the player doesn't have any coins or less than ten coins, they lose their whole count and just start over anyway. Fail too many times at a level and the game takes pity on you and give you the option to skip the level entirely. | |

Field Power Effect: Spotlion can use magic to convert the entire arena he fights in to mirror-like surfaces, making his light-based attacks bounce off the walls, floor and ceiling. This also allows him to freeze and bring individual reflections of himself out of the mirror background for multiple angles of attack and to hide his real body. Though doing so means his mirrored copies have no reflection themselves, and his real body will be smoking if he's taken enough damage. | |

Something Only They Would Say: The Sour Bunch only refer to Grape as "Madame Grape". This bites them in the rear several times when they possess or impersonate Theets, as it tips Peach and Stella off that something is amiss. It's also the clincher for exposing the fake Junior Detective when the Detective Sparkla asks his assistant's opinion on Grape. Unlike the others, he catches it after saying her title and tries to say they can't waste time, but the player has likely caught on by then. | |

Goomba Stomp | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_679d7cc7 | comment |
Goomba Stomp: Even though Peach can jump, this is averted and she takes damage when jumping on enemies. It's the first and main indication to the player that this is not a "Mario" game, but rather a whole new universe and spinoff starring Peach, and the player has to make use of her ribbon powers to defeat enemies. Dodging a boss attack as Swordfighter Peach may cause her to jump on the enemy's head, dazing them and lowering their defenses against her blade. You have to press [A] just as an attack's about to hit you to pull this off, though. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing: The Ninja Darkla starts out disguised as a red samurai guard before revealing himself once the wrecked armor turns into a Ninja Log. He appears similar to a basic Sour Bunch minion and only takes one hit to take out, but is much faster as he flees with the secret scrolls he took. | |

Sore Loser: The Pâtissièr Darkla promises to let Peach and the Sparkla out if they win one last bake-off against him, but throws a fit when they do, claiming that taste is what's most important. Ironically, his cookies are too plain, implying he doesn't understand cooking that much either. Though the curtain opens after he disintegrates from eating a Sparkle-imbued cookie, proclaiming it delicious as he's purified. | |

As Radiant Peach, she can fly and fire magical blasts of light. It helps that Peach is established to have magical powers in several earlier games. | |

Combined Energy Attack: Played with. In order to open Grape's boss door, the ten Sparklas donate their Sparkle energy to Peach, transforming her to Radiant Peach. After Peach drops her transformation upon Grape's apparent defeat, Grape transforms into Grape the Great, destroying the Sparkle Theater in the process. All the Theets on the island put their hope in Peach and this manifests as even more Sparkle energy. The energy lets Peach transform again and even further into Super Radiant Peach. | |

Attack Its Weak Point | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_82108e3d | comment |
Attack Its Weak Point: Each boss has an orb of Darkle that powers them, their bodies being made from machinery—Disco Wing being the only one that looks semi-organic. Exposing the dark energy and using Sparkle to disperse/purify it is what truly damages the bosses. Grape's is never exposed during her first battle, hinting at her pulling a Victory Fakeout after her body disappears with only her mask remaining. | |

Light Fang however is more of a puzzle. You have to sneak past him and hit the light switch, the layout getting more challenging and elaborate after each successful attempt. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: A few of the plays have antagonists that are a cut above the rest of the Sour Bunch besides the floor bosses. Given the Sparklas meant to be the lead roles, these higher-powered enemies are Darklas. The Cowboy Darkla is a bandit that steals all the valuables of a town and is confronted in his hideout. After his defeat, one of his henchmen assumes leadership in later acts and hijacks a train in each to enact revenge. First hinted at in the second act of the Pâtissière play with cookies that turn Theets into sugar-ravenous zombies, the Pâtissièr Darkla works mainly from the shadows until Peach arrives to save the Pâtissière Sparkla. The Ninja Darkla poses as a red samurai guard in the first act, but flees with the secret scrolls he stole when exposed. He uses the same disguise when about to publicly execute the Ninja Sparkla in the latter's prison. The Figure Skater Darkla kidnaps the dancers of the play to use for his own performance and returns in the second act to try ruining the parade. He also returns in the Figure Skater Sparkla's prison as the main guard. The Kung Fu Darkla attacks the training hall in the first act and returns in the second act as well. He also holds the Kung Fu Sparkla captive and faces Peach with a power-up in one last rematch for the third act. | |

Interface Spoiler: The ensemble menu shows all the transformations in the game (Including regular Peach), but by the time you unlock all ten, there is still an empty space. Peach gets Radiant Peach as All Your Powers Combined for the final level. The menu hides the slot for Super Radiant Peach that appears as 11th-Hour Superpower later. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Villainous example. Grape took control of the Sparkle Theater with her master plan to create the greatest tragedy by destroying the hopes of the Theets. What Grape fails to take account for is that the subject of any tragedy can be anyone - that includes herself. Grape does get the tragedy she yearned for when she is defeated. In the end, Grape is reduced to a mask floating all alone in the ocean, a tragic fall from the powerful sorceress she used to be. | |

Shout-Out | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Swordfighter Peach is an obvious homage to the "knightly lady" archetype created by Osamu Tezuka's Princess Knight and popularized with characters such as Oscar from The Rose of Versailles and Utena from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Whether on her hairstyle or uniform, Pâtissière Peach's design is homage to yellow cutie witch Momoko Asuka in Ojamajo Doremi. Besides, Momoko also means Peach in Japanese. Peach switching outfits in a theater setting is very similar to the Takarazuka Revue, a famous all-women theater troupe that even inspired Princess Knight. The guardian of the theater is named Stella. | |

Magic Music: In her Mermaid form, Peach's magical singing can control schools of fish to do her bidding for various purposes and she can also harmonize with an aquatic orchestra for even greater effects. Singing a duet with the Mermaid Sparkla quells five massive whirlpools blocking the exit of her prison. | |

Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_d148b019 | comment |
Mundane Made Awesome: The first two Ninja levels offer this as their finales. In each one, Peach obtains a special scroll that gives her an awesome power. The first one has her turn a boulder into a conduit that makes it act like a giant wave that she can ride. The second allows her to turn a large gear set into a dragon that she rides up to the top of the castle. In both instances, everything in her way is summarily destroyed. | |

Speaking to the Staff Member can have her return it, going back to five hearts. | |

Hope Bringer | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_d32b5dde | comment |
Hope Bringer: In each initial act of the play, Peach will often need to use Sparkle to motivate despairing Theets to try fixing whatever the Sour Bunch ruined. Obtaining each Sparkle to assume the lead role only brings more hope by allowing her to solve the various conflicts of the plays. Turns out this aspect of Peach's actions is why Grape let her run around unchecked—so she could crush that building hope for an even better tragedy. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Grape continues to let Peach succeed, intending to let the Theets' hope build so that the tragedy that comes from her victory will hit all the harder. Too bad she's in a world where emotions can be weaponized - something Peach has done before - and the Theets' hopes right at the final hour empower Peach to be able to defeat Grape once and for all. | |

Spin-Off | |

Spin-Off: Showtime! keeps any elements tying it to the greater Mario franchise to a minimum outside of Peach herself, two Toads (who are quickly removed from the plot), and her castle briefly appearing in the opening. Compared to its predecessor which had Peach in the starring role but kept many familiar characters, the setting, characters, and enemies are completely new and unique. | |

Action Girl | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Peach is the only player character, and must defeat the Sour Bunch. She can use Stella's ribbon to fend off minor Sour Bunch members as well as the various mini-bosses that Grape sends against her. Swordfighter Peach, Kung Fu Peach, and Mighty Peach are extremely straightforward in their use of violence. Cowgirl Peach uses her lasso to solve puzzles for the most part, but is not above roping up the Sour Bunch, or using the lasso to throw exploding barrels at them. Ninja Peach is just as lethal with kunai, but she can only strike from stealth. Figure Skater Peach relies mostly on platforming mechanics, but she is a Dance Battler when need be. Dashing Thief Peach uses her grapple gun that can stun robots. Mermaid Peach tends to use a school of fish to solve puzzles, but she also can command eels to crash into things. Detective Peach has no combat and uses only her brain to solve crimes. Pâtissière Peach doesn't fight at all, the closest she gets being the two bake-offs in Act 3. Radiant Peach is definitely not above blasting her way through foes. | |

Innocuously Important Episode | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_dee56696 | comment |
Innocuously Important Episode: The first two Detective Peach levels actually have some very important moments in them that become relevant in the Sparkla level. In the first play, the Junior Detective rearranged the brown cushions on the couch to conceal himself to warm up the Ace Detective's brain (Peach in this case). The Junior in the Sparkla prison doesn't contest the statement that there are no cushions, and suggests that he'd get purple ones, giving up the game almost instantly. In the second, an offhand remark by Junior Detective mentions he likes to arrive five minutes early. Which makes it clear the Junior in the Sparkla level is an imposter when he answers that he arrives exactly on time. | |

Plot Tailored to the Party: The threats of every level are tailored to the costume that Peach acquires or uses in that level - nobody ever necessarily: asks for cookies in a ninja level, requires detective work in a superhero level, or asks for singing in a swashbuckler level. Justified by the fact that each level represents a play in which a Sparkla representing that costume was supposed to be playing a key role, and the Sour Bunch is working with the material they had on hand. | |

Sequel Goes Foreign: Unlike its predecessor, the only elements tying this to Mario are in the cutscenes. Peach is walking outside of her castle with a Toad, another Toad informs her of the theater, and all three go. One of the Toads handles purchasing the tickets before Grape attacks and blows both Toads outside of the theater and seals it. The Toads aren't seen again until the game is over. Neither Stella, the Theets, Grape, or the Sour Bunch had been seen in any Mario franchise before this point. To show just how foreign the Sparkle Theater is to the series, it takes until the fourth floor for someone to recognize Peach as THE Princess Peach! | |

Medieval European Fantasy | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_f8173bd9 | comment |
Medieval European Fantasy: Swordfighter-1 (Castle of Thorns) fittingly takes place in a Medieval Fantasy themed setting with some of the Theets dressed as knights. Peach explores a village on their way to the castle in order to rescue the King. Never mind that Swordfighter is wearing and using Renaissance era gear... | |

Impossibly Delicious Food | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_f8fe0279 | comment |
Impossibly Delicious Food: Pâtissière Peach's sweets are so delicious that they can free mind-controlled Theets, possibly because the sweetness nullifies the Sour Bunch's influence. The possessed Pâtissière Sparkla is also freed from the Darkle controlling her by tasting Peach's cake in a rage. And a Sparkle cookie made by both of them purifies the Pâtissièr Darkla, his body dispersing into light even as he decrees it delicious. | |

Darkest Hour | |
Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: Grape isn't done yet and re-emerges stronger than ever, becoming the gigantic Grape The Great and reducing the Sparkle Theater to rubble. Peach is completely powerless to stop her from destroying the island. Fortunately, the Theets using the power of their hope and positivity surrounds Peach with overwhelming Sparkle Energy to become Super Radiant Peach for the final battle. | |

Distressed Dude: The majority of the Sparklas are male, with Pâtissière, Mermaid, and Figure Skater being the only females, and all of them are being held prisoner in the theater's basement and must be rescued by Peach from varying predicaments. | |

One-Winged Angel: Once Grape is defeated for the first time, she assumes a much bigger form named Grape the Great, who ended up destroying the entire Sparkle Theater, leaving it in rubble. | |

Brick Joke: During Grape's initial attack, Peach loses her crown and the Toads scramble to retrieve it while being blown out of the theater. After Grape is defeated, the Toads return with Peach's crown, much to her delight. | |

Lady of War: Swordfighter Peach's attacks are extremely graceful and delicate, and s on command. But they are no less deadly to the Sour Bunch. | |

Princess Peach: Showtime! (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: While most of Ninja Peach's abilities are played up for theatrical appeal, there is one bit of accuracy she has—her kunai, which she never throws but uses strictly for melee-based sneak attacks. Anyone who's seen Gaijin Goombah's Which Ninja series knows that real kunai aren't throwing daggers, but rather medium-sized masonry or digging trowels repurposed as blades. They're actually too big to consider using as a throwing weapon, even at their smallest. | |
