- —Dark Ninja, Princess Peach: Showtime!
The Dark Ninja[1] is a boss appearing in Princess Peach: Showtime! He is a Ninja Dūke who is imbued with dark powers from Grape and is part of the Sour Bunch. Appearing as the boss in The Dark Ninja & the Legion of Guards, he initially appears as a red Mihari Musha that guards the captured Ninja Sparkla, before Ninja 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.
The Dark Ninja has similarities with a red-clad Ninja Dūke from the level Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids. Like the Dark Ninja, this Ninja Dūke was disguised as a red Mihari Musha that guarded the Scholar prior to Ninja Peach defeating him, and appears as the final opponent of the play that Peach must chase down in an auto-run segment.
