The intro cutscene in regards to saving a SparklaEdit
Normally, including in the postgame movie menu, the intro cutscene explicitly refers to Peach having saved a Sparkla, which at that point can only be Swordfighter Sparkla, and which is indeed mentioned on the page. However, I found during testing that The Dark Swordfighter & the Arena can be exited normally from the pause menu even after Stella forces Peach through its door. So, if the Sparkla is not saved before heading into the boss, would that mean there could be a cutscene version where Grape would not mention such a rescue?

- I can confirm that it's not possible, if you try to leave the basement before clearing The Dark Swordfighter & the Arena, Stella says someone's calling and forces you back down. So you can only fight Light Fang after rescuing the Swordfighter Sparkla.
