Species Theet
First appearance Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)

The Pictioneer is a Theet who stands in the first floor of the Sparkle Theater. He will take an album photo of Princess Peach whenever she has collected all Sparkle Gems in a show, as well as one large album photo of the game's ending scene.

He will never show up in the shows, but will nevertheless have a photo of Peach ready for her album after such feats.

If he tells Peach that he has new photos to show, he will automatically open the pause menu and its "Album" icon.
