'''Blight of the Sea''' is a level in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', located in the upper right on the fifth floor of the [[Sparkle Theater]]. This stage is unlocked after clearing all of 4F.

==Layout==
The level starts out with [[Theet]]s being kidnapped away by a large underwater [[ship]] in the distance. Peach recruits a yellow fish with purple fins, who seem particularly excited about [[Mermaid Peach]]'s singing voice.

After swimming by and optionally rescuing Mermaid Theets on the way to catch up with the ship, she defeats four [[Sour Bunch]] mermaids with help from the fish, and makes her way into a large hole on the front right of the ship.

Finding Theets and fish trapped inside a cage in the ship, Peach recruits a school of small fish to open two fences, from which an eel emerges and is recruited to smash the cage. Peach then heads up the stairs to a concert stage, where she holds a concert similar to that of [[Melody of the Sea]].

==Sparkle Gems==
[[Sparkle Gem]]s marked with an asterisk ⁽*⁾ will always be obtained during regular gameplay.

==Stella ribbon==
[[File:PPS! Blight of the Sea Ribboner.jpg|thumb|Ribboner's location|right]]
'''Mermaid Ribbon''': [[Ribboner]] can be found after recruiting the yellow fish very soon after the start of the level, if [[Peach]] then goes back to the start of the level and opens the far upper left [[clamshell]]. He awards the [[Stella ribbon]] for [[Stella]].

*Help request: ''"I'm stuck in here!"''
*Rescue message: ''"Your singing is enchanting!"''

==Postgame Ninja Theets==
The stage has three [[Ninja (Princess Peach: Showtime!)|Ninja]] Theets when it is played in the postgame:
#Behind the starting platform.
#Soon after the start below the peak of a cliff range where many clams and sad Mermaid Theets are.
#On the immediate right after entering the hole of the ship.
