Stage by stage Peach transforms into a new character type, a swordfighter, a pastry chef, a figure skater, and each one plays differently enough to keep sessions from feeling repetitive. It is bright, easy to understand, and completely unthreatening. The reason it sits outside the main list is that the challenge is low enough that children who are already comfortable with the stronger platformers above may find it a little thin. For a younger child who finds Mario Odyssey or Wonder too demanding, though, this is a perfectly solid step between Yoshi's Crafted World and the bigger Nintendo platformers.
