The '''Sour Bunch''' is an acting theater troupe of anthropomorphic purple grapes led by [[Grape (character)|Grape]] and are the main antagonists of ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', where they take over the [[Sparkle Theater]]. Unlike the [[Theet]]s, the Sour Bunch do not have visible noses.

Their name, alongside Grape's, plays on the phrase "sour grapes" which reference Ancient Greek theater's celebrations to honor {{wp|Dionysus}}, the god of wine and theater.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintenduo World|date=March 23, 2024|url=https://youtu.be/T3cYgN6Q43o|title=25 Secrets of Princess Peach: Showtime! 🎀 Facts & Easter Eggs (Nintendo Switch)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 29, 2024}}</ref>

They consistently refer to Grape as "Madame Grape", a name that is a running theme throughout the game to identify characters who have bad intentions.

Most types of them can be defeated with [[Sparkle]] if they are encountered prior to getting a transformation, but a few of them can only be defeated by other means, including the cowboys in [[Cowgirl in the Wilderness]] and the guards in [[Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids]].
The only subcategory of Sour Bunch members to be referred to by name in first-person dialog boxes where they themselves speak are in the [[Detective Peach]] levels, where they are named '''Criminal''', who in turn collectively organize as '''Sour Gang''' instead of Sour Bunch.
