In the third phase, the phantom knight also summons phantom Sour Bunch bats from the wall heading straight. Peach can choose to avoid getting hit or damage the enemies. Upon defeat, the phantom knight fades and the three Theets are freed from his clutches. The castle lights up back to its normal state and a Sparkle Gem is rewarded, completing the level.
