All Princess Peach: Showtime The Ghostly Castle Sparkle Gems

In the second Swordfighter stage-play of Princess Peach: Showtime, The Ghostly Castle, you’ll only have seven Sparkle Gems that you need to collect. We’ve detailed where to find these in order of when you collect them, so you can jump right to the Sparkle Gem you’re missing if needed.

Sparkle Gem #1

After breaking the second cell and freeing a Theet, destroy the glowing vase inside of the cell.

Sparkle Gem #2

For the next Sparkle Gem, defeat the enemies as they are rushing you, after having possessed some Theets.

Sparkle Gem #3

Up next, you’ll need to collect eight Sparkle Gem segments while traversing the falling bridges to receive another Sparkle Gem.

Ribbon

Ribbons are collectable items that unlock new outfits for Peach’s companion, Stella.

The Ribbon for this level is acquired by destroying the pink, falling painting with a Theet inside of it.

Sparkle Gem #4

The fourth Sparkle Gem in this level is acquired by striking a pose using ‘ZL’ or ‘ZL’ on the spotlight at the top of some stairs, shown below. This is after collecting the Ribbon!

Defeat every flying enemy in the following room to receive a Sparkle Gem.

Sparkle Gem #5

While traversing the falling floor, there’ll also be some falling furniture and decor that you can destroy along the way. A Sparkle Gem can be retrieved by successfully destroying one of the falling chests. The chest you need to destroy will have a blue glow coming from it.

Sparkle Gem #6

Once you’ve gone past the falling bridges and stairs to reach a new room, there’ll be a heart and some pots to the right of the door. Smash the pots to receive a Sparkle Gem.

Sparkle Gem #7

Last, but not least, you’ll need to defeat the miniboss at the end of the level to receive the seventh and final Sparkle Gem.
