Strike of Intuition
- “Ah-ha!”
- —Detective Peach, Princess Peach: Showtime!
The Strike of Intuition is an ability first appearing in Princess Peach: Showtime!. It is exclusive to Princess Peach's Detective transformation.
Description
When investigating an object, Peach will look at it with her magnifying glass, or get a testimony from a Theet. Doing so, the player has the choice to hold the 
button[1] to charge a Strike of Intuition: once the button is held for long enough (Approximately 3.75 seconds), Peach will strike an accusatory pose towards the object or the questioned Theet. If the pose was correct, Peach will smugly smile while the case proceeds; otherwise, Peach will sulk in disappointment and lose a heart. Questioning Theets this way is mainly used to uncover disguised Sour Bunch minions.
