- —Dark Ninja, Princess Peach: Showtime!
The Dark Ninja[1] is a boss appearing in Princess Peach: Showtime! He is a Ninja Dūke who works for Grape and is part of the Sour Bunch.
The Dark Ninja first appears as a regular, red-clad Ninja Dūke in the level Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids, where the Elder Scholar sees him make off with a bunch of scrolls; this Ninja Dūke was implied to be the red Mihari Musha that guarded the Scholar prior to Ninja Peach defeating him. Peach must chase him down through the forest and into the waterfalls, collecting the scrolls he drops along the way. Peach eventually catches up with him and reclaims the scrolls he has pilfered.
The Dark Ninja later returns in The Dark Ninja & the Legion of Guards, where he has gained dark powers by Grape. Like before, he initially appears as a red Mihari Musha that guards the captured Ninja Sparkla, before Peach defeated him, only fully revealing himself to them halfway through the level. Peach and the Ninja Sparkla work their way through a labyrinth of traps and perils, catching up to him and taking him out.
