3rd place - Princess Peach: Showtime! (Nintendo)

Here’s what the kids’ jury had to say: “Princess Peach: Showtime!” wins the TOMMI because she finally gets to play the lead role and be the heroine. We have to save a theater, take on a different role in each play, and then use special abilities to solve challenges. There’s so much to discover that it was really fun. We especially loved all the cool costumes. Princess Peach becomes a real action figure here, and she pulls off her attacks really well. That’s why she fully deserves the win.

Here’s what the expert jury had to say: Princess Peach finally steps out of the shadow of her eternal savior, Mario, and takes on the role of savior herself—specifically, of a theater that’s being tormented by a wicked witch and her masked minions. The theater’s liberation unfolds across numerous levels, each staged like a play, in which Peach dons one of ten different costumes to utilize special abilities and playstyles: As a swordswoman, she wields a sword; as a cowgirl, she uses a lasso; and as a ninja, she primarily sneaks through the scenery. “Princess Peach: Showtime!” may be a bit short, but it’s still easily manageable even for younger Switch fans.
