The Play Begins

The level begins with Princess Peach and Stella appearing on stage, with Stella worrying that something is off. Shortly after, they encounter an unconscious Theet, which Peach runs up to. As Stella ponders about this being the work of the Sour Bunch, she decides to help Peach by turning her hair into a ponytail, allowing Peach to use the power of Sparkle to bring the Theet back to its feet. As the stage goes back to normal, Stella decides to check up on the castle in the distance.

Sparkle Gems

1. At the end of the first section, Peach will encounter a group of enemies, each guarding an inactive flower-shaped projector. Regardless of whether or not the enemies are defeated beforehand, Peach can use Sparkle on the projectors to turn them on and make them light up the back wall, with all projectors revealing a curtained passage to the next section. As the passage appears, a Sparkle Gem will appear shortly after in the center of the section for Peach to get.
