“Today, we're here to watch the plays, but it's every Theet's dream to perform someday too.”
—Theet, Princess Peach: Showtime!

The Theets are a race of short humanoid beings who make their debut in Princess Peach: Showtime! They appear at the Sparkle Theater as actors, staff employees, or spectators. Some of them get attacked by the Sour Bunch and must be rescued by Princess Peach. They have spherical yellow heads with no visible mouth and big spherical noses that light up in various colors depending on their mood: orange by default, red when angry, yellow when happy, light blue when sad, and purple when corrupted, and their noses blink if their mood is particularly strong.

The museum exhibitions in The Case of the Missing Mural and The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery, which focus on archaeological discoveries, refer to at least two elements of Theet history by name: "Theepota" and "Theester Island".
