Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she's unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it's not too violent, it should be fine

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe has Toadette and Peachette.

Super Mario 3D World has Peach / Cat Peach.

My daughter beat them both at 5 years old. There's also Mario Kart 8 which also has Peach. You may be noticing a theme here.

There's also the Lego games where you get to choose your character and she always picks the girls.

Miitopia is great because you create your own characters. She makes the entire team girls.

My Friend Peppa is kinda entertaining, but she didn't really care for it all that much.

Kirby is pretty great and both games Return to Dreamland and Forgotten Land are accessible, though both ramp up difficulty later. (Kirby is gender neutral)

There are more games out there, like Kena, Metroid, Celeste, Shantae, but not for her age yet.
