—Swordfighter Sparkla, Princess Peach: Showtime!

Swordfighter Sparkla is a Sparkla Theet in Princess Peach: Showtime! She is initially trapped in the basement of the Sparkle Theater by Grape. After clearing The Ghostly Castle, Princess Peach and Stella have the opportunity to rescue the Swordfighter Sparkla in the stage The Dark Swordfighter & the Arena.

In the aforementioned stage, the Swordfighter Sparkla is stuck on a wall and guarded by the Dark Swordfighter. After Swordfighter Peach defeats the enemy, the Swordfighter Sparkla becomes free. When they are about to escape, the Dark Swordfighter performs a surprise attack, which the Swordfighter Sparkla blocks. Both swordfighters team up to defeat the Dark Swordfighter for good, and then escape afterwards. The Swordfighter Sparkla can then be found on the first floor of Sparkle Theater, admired by other Theets.

Before the final battle against Grape, all of the Sparklas, including the Swordfighter Sparkla give Princess Peach Sparkle Power to allow her to transform into Radiant Peach. All of the Sparklas are then seen in the ending where they celebrate with everyone.
