General Commentary and Game Overview
This review is my personal opinion, so please do not take it personally.

At first glace this mini-game may seem very good. So I decided, instead of doing what everyone else does (which is play for 5 minutes and stop), I'm going for the highest score possible. Keep in mind, I am playing this game on a 2000 dollar MSI laptop, so this is the real deal not a computer problem.
See game-play.
 
Pros -Cutesy Princess Peach. Perfect game for younger girls. My little sister may enjoy it for at least 5-10 minutes before ditching it. See why later.
- Mario party music, sound effects. Woo.
- Good concept
 
Cons Hardly any to be honest. This game had a rocket start.
- Later, Spawning slows dramatically to almost nothing
-- gets boring after a while. To the point where dying on purpose is the only way to attempt to end the game. (see game-play for more details.)
 
Impressions
Gameplay
5 / 10
Okay, my main area. The game play was simple. Move around and catch the peaches and boost that score while avoid the exploding bombs which makes no sense on why they're there but neither does Peach catching more Peaches than she needs instead of hiring workers ---- AHEM. Jokes aside, while moving her parasol eventually gets full enough to slow her down. Her jumping is already useless, so that's in the factor. She just moves slower. In order to relieve her of this, every freaking 3484349304930 minutes or so, you have a 1% chance of a star spawning and stealing your peaches so you can move faster. I pretty sure the owner, if he hasn't forgot about this game, will make levels, more enemies, and even achievements. You know what this mini-game lacked: powerups. I mean, sure it lacked a lot of things, but I don't want to be nick-picky. With endless games, we need something to accomplish. Ever played Inflation Rpg from the google play store. Do that hahaha.
Furthermore, if you decide to play longer than 5 minutes like I did, eventually the spawning rate will decrease dramatically. And I mean DRAMATICALLY. It will get to the point where only 1 thing spawns every 1-6 minutes. I don't think even the owner of this game played longer than 5 minutes himself to see this. And it's not that I could blame him, it's just... you probably should've prepared for someone thinking the game was good enough for something longer than a 5-10 minute playthrough. Yeah it's repetitive, but so much work was put into this that I wanted to see everything but yet, I was let down... Eventually, I decided to end it all, as the spawning time was increasing and hit a bomb. It gets stuck on scene of Peach crying and never moves. Hell, I can't blame her. To be stuck in an endless mini-game, no time-limit or levels, catching peaches while trying to dodge the spawning bombs of your magikoopa assassin. You've got the right to cry.
I REALLY didn't want to be harsh on this score. Originally it was planned for a 9/10 but after testing out the game fully, I had to lower the score or it'd be unfair to the mini-games I reviewed that were more than this...
 
Graphics
9 / 10
The graphics were ripped from Super Princess Peach and they look amazing. It sort of reminds me that unlike Mario, Peach and Luigi actually have personalities. Though Peach is a bit of a crybaby and emotional wreck, this is still great. Hell, worthy of a 10/10. But, I got to ding it a point due to the stage we were on which could've been a lot better. It was flat and boring. But if you make more levels, (at least 2 more), you could work on terrain a bit giving the player more of a challenge.
 
Sound
10 / 10
Mario Party music, Peach sound effects. Nuff said. This was grat
 
Replay
2 / 10
I'm going to be honest with you. I'm never going to touch this mini-game again. It feels like a demo --even a teaser demo for a mini-game. In other words, a lot more (or a little more XD) should've been put into this. Replay value is a bit non-existent in a way.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
Something to kill time, nothing more, nothing less. Though I wish there was more.

Thank you for your review! Unfortunately, I've been having issues with the game's file, so unless I can find a way to fix that this game probably won't be updated. :(
But still, I'll be sure to take your advice - which is all very helpful - into consideration in the future.

Also, when you die you said Peach doesn't stop crying? That's probably one of the many glitches you can come across in this game, because after she cries for a little bit and Peach's body flies off the screen, you're actually supposed to go to another screen where your score is added up (it adds points for the peaches collected) and then a high score screen. Then after the credits will show up.

Sorry for all the bugs in this game. :P

Oh yeah, also the exact chance of a star spawning (as I put it in MMF2) is: Every 10.45 seconds, there's a 1/15 chance of a star spawning... yeah, maybe I could have made them come more frequently XD

I really hope it could be fixed. This game was on my rare 9/10+ list xD. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Keep it up!
