Professor
Species	Theet
Appears in	Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)

Professor is a side character in Princess Peach: Showtime! who appears in the three main levels where Peach uses the Mighty Peach transformation: Mighty Mission: Alien Invasion, Mighty Mission: The Rescue, and Dark Space & the Great Meteor. He is the leader of a squad of scientist Theets that assist him. He has white hair, glasses, blue gloves, and a lab coat with a light blue tie.

He does not show up in Pictioneer's photos of any of the three levels he appears in.

He is the only character other than Peach to have an HP bar of their own, but not when he is first encountered in Mighty Mission: Alien Invasion.

Mighty Mission: Alien Invasion

He is first encountered in the second section, as he runs around in panic as two Shageki Gata UFO set his surroundings on fire and have already destroyed the city's office block. After Peach saves him from the fires and some Uchūjin Dūkes, he uses his holo-screens to turn on an elevator that lead down to a base, as he believes Peach can help save them and the city.

After having initially sent Peach back up on the elevator, he heads back up to Peach again after the Yami no Kyodai UFO has kidnapped a sphere bunker that the other Theets were hiding in. He sets up an upwards launch function in the elevator that he rose up with, launching Peach into the sky to fly after the Yami no Kyodai UFO and to rescue the kidnapped Theets in the process.

Mighty Mission: The Rescue

He leads a squad of assistant Theets in spacecrafts heading towards a planet ahead, to rescue his squad's scientists. His spacecraft has five HP in itself, and Peach must protect his spacecraft during their flight to the planet. He lands three Theets on the ground to accompany Peach and keeps the other three Theets in their spacecrafts with him.

After having initially landed, he and the other three Theets of his air squadron returns when Peach has reached the caged scientists, and helps set up for Peach's kaiju fight against the Yami no Kyodai UFO from earlier. After the setup, his full squadron flies immediately behind Peach as she takes on and defeats the Yami no Kyodai UFO.

Dark Space & the Great Meteor

He flies solo in his spacecraft, wishing to follow Peach in her journey on the floating platform, and also detects a distress signal from Mighty Sparkla. After a while, he decides to speed ahead as the distress signal gets weaker, but he is abducted by a Carry Alien very soon after.

As Peach chases after and defeats the Carry Alien that had abducted him, he finds it embarrassing that he had got abducted while on a rescue mission. He then follows Peach to a sphere where Mighty Sparkla is held captive, and hacks his way into a dashboard to free him. During his hacking, he himself has five HP as he needs to be protected from Uchūjin Dūkes and meteorites by Peach while he is hacking. After succeeding at it, Mighty Sparkla sets up an upwards launch tube, leaving Professor behind.
