Collect Sparkle Gems

Sparkle Gems are the main collectibles in Princess Peach: Showtime! and are found inside the different levels in the game.

Some Sparkle Gems are hidden behind certain areas or will not show up until you do specific things inside levels, so keep a sharp eye out!

All Sparkle Gem Locations

Achieve 100% Completion

In addition to completing the main story, you will need to collect a number of items, get gold trophies in rehearsals, and discover all the hidden pose locations in order to achieve 100% completion of the game.

100% Completion Guide

Take On Action Rehearsals

Action Rehearsals are timed challenges in the game where players can earn performance-based rewards. Each Rehearsal is thematically tied to a main story level in the game where it retains the level's location, enemies, and even Princess Peach's Transformation.

Play the Post Game

Don't put the game down yet after you defeat Grape! New challenges and items are unlocked once you've completed the main story. Replay the levels and rematch the bosses to earn more rewards.

The Lobby Shop should also have a wider selection of outfits for both Peach and Stella as well as a new set of decorations you can buy to add some flair to the Sparkle Theater.

Controls Guide

Should You Use the Heart Charm?

Heart Charms will give you three extra hearts while playing through a level. If you want the game to be a little easier or avoid the hassle of resetting back to checkpoints again and again, consider turning it on from a Theet in the theater lobby!

Heart Charm Guide

What Happens If You Die?

Dying isn't that big of a deal in this game. You'll lose coins upon losing all your hearts, but you'll be returned to a nearby checkpoint.

Too many deaths in a level will also make the game take pity on you and let you pass the level in exchange for all the coins you've collected in it.

What Happens If You Die?

How to Do the Wall Hide Technique

Ninja Peach has the ability to do the wall hide technique while playing through her levels. This allows you to blend into walls to hide from the enemy.

Pressing up against a wall should automatically let Ninja Peach do the wall hide technique.

All Boss Rematches
