If Nintendo gives some of its other female characters starring roles after Princess Peach Showtime, these heroines would be great choices.

This guide will tell players how they can increase their maximum hearts in Princess Peach: Showtime so that they can finish the most difficult levels the game has to offer.

As gamers play through the various stages in Princess Peach: Showtime, they'll run into enemies and eventually lose hearts. They will be able to regain them as they progress, but it's possible to lose hearts faster than you gain them, gamers will return to their last checkpoint instead of continuing, which can be frustrating.

Thankfully, there is a way to start a level with more than five hearts. Players have to take a Heart Charm along with them to get more hearts in Princess Peach: Showtime. To get a Heart Charm in Princess Peach: Showtime, gamers must talk to the Staff Member with the earpiece in the Sparkle Theater lobby area.

Alternatively, Stella will also offer the player the Heart Charm if they lose all their hearts more than once while completing a level.

Should You Take the Heart Charm?

When the Staff Member or Stella offers gamers the Heart Charm, many will doubt if they should. Certain games hinder players' experience if they choose an easier route when completing it, but Nintendo mostly wants its fans to have a good time.

Players will not be punished for playing Princess Peach: Showtime with a Heart Charm equipped. Mario vs. Donkey Kong is another great example of this accessibility feature. This way, gamers no longer have to play through a frustrating experience if they find themselves having a harder time with the game out of fear of missing out on any sort of bonus content; fans can enjoy the game on Casual difficulty to make it easier and more relaxing without suffering any consequences.

On the other hand, gamers who want a more challenging experience can return the Heart Charm to the Staff Member at any time, and they will go back to only having access to a maximum of five hearts per stage.
