After triumphing over the formidable Disco Wing at 1F, a new realm of possibilities opens up as the second floor of the Sparkle Theater is unveiled, paving the way to the last Swordfighter Peach play. Traverse through ominous settings and confront vile creatures to collect the much-coveted Sparkle Gems. Follow our guide to discover every hidden gem within The Ghostly Castle's walls, ensuring a path to victory.

Embarking on a Sparkling Quest

Though many of Princess Peach: Showtime's plays generously offer ten Sparkle Gems, The Ghostly Castle is unique with its seven hidden treasures. Each gem is a tiny, glittering step towards the triumphant completion of Peach's ghostly adventure. Here's how to ensure you leave no stone unturned or vase unbroken on your quest for the luminous jewels.

Location of Every Sparkle Gem Within The Ghostly Castle

• First Gem: Amidst the dreary confines of the second area's prison lies your initial target. Shatter the vase within the cell, but first, make sure to gain entry by striking the bars that ensnare it.
• Second Gem: Emerging victorious after aiding the trapped Theets in their battle against menacing masked adversaries and bat-like fiends rewards you with the second gem.
• Third Gem: Navigating through a treacherous segment adorned with falling platforms, players must collect all eight Sparkle Gem fragments. Exercise caution; bats keen on disrupting your pursuit pose a constant threat.
• Fourth Gem: The haunted portrait conceals more than just an eerie visage; it disguises the crucial path to the Swordfighter Ribbon and the gem itself. Safe grounding post-objects grants access to the underground passage, where your diligence is rewarded with the fourth Sparkle Gem.
• Fifth Gem: Within the next chamber of descendents, two treasure chests plummet towards doom. It's the haunted one on the left that holds the fifth Sparkle Gem in its embrace.
• Sixth Gem: Before the looming gate and the impending boss, lay your claims on the sixth gem hidden within the large vase that innocuously occupies a room corner.
• Seventh Gem: The final gem is a prize for the valiant, bestowed upon those who vanquish The Ghostly Castle's sinister boss. Dodge, its charge attacks, stand firm as it tries to shake the ground beneath you, and strike when the moment presents itself.

Battling The Ghostly Castle's Boss

Confronting the apparition that reigns over The Ghostly Castle demands both poise and strategy. The phantasmal fiend is elusive, often charging at unexpected moments, only vulnerable once it falters from its own missed assault. With tiles disappearing underfoot, the terrain becomes increasingly treacherous. Stay anchored towards the stage's conclusion to keep from falling to your doom. As the ghost summons objects and bats, players must choose whether to contend with these distractions or deftly sidestep them. The secret to success lies in a rhythmic dance of dodges and strikes — three solid contacts, and the specter will fall. For those seeking an edge, the Heart Charm imbues a boon of three additional hearts, fortifying players against the boss's frightful onslaught.

Final Curtain: Claiming the Sparkle Gems

All seven Sparkle Gems are your passport to theatrical triumph within The Ghostly Castle. With each jewel claimed and the boss's defeat, players find themselves one step closer to not only completing this play but also aiding Swordfighter Sparkla in restoring brilliance to her world. Remember to exercise agility, bravery, and a touch of strategy to ensure a performance that will be remembered throughout the annals of Sparkle Theater's history.

Armed with your sword and guided by these insights, march forth into The Ghostly Castle's shadowy depths. Rediscover the joy and whimsy that lie at the heart of Princess Peach: Showtime as you illuminate the stage with your valiant efforts and collect each Sparkle Gem with precision and grace. The curtain rises on your next performance; make it a sensational one!
