'''The Case of the Missing Mural''' is a stage in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', located in the far right on the second floor of the [[Sparkle Theater]]. This stage is unlocked after clearing all of 1F. It is the first stage where the [[Detective Peach|Detective]] transformation is introduced.

==Layout==
The stage begins with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Stella]] arriving in a city, noticing after a short walk that [[Museum (Princess Peach: Showtime!)|the local museum]] is closed to the public. In front, the [[Junior Detective]] attempts to get in in order to solve whatever was inside, only to be shooed away by the guards. Disappointed, he walks away and notices Peach, whom she invites to the detective agency of his [[Detective Sparkla|mentor]]. Peach looks at the books on the shelves, and using the images of the open book, she unlocks a hidden room behind the bookcase.

Having received the Detective Peach transformation in that room, she returns to the previous room to complete an investigation test that Junior Detective had set up in the meantime. The two of them return to the museum entrance where the [[Police (Princess Peach: Showtime!)|police officers]] consider her to be the real detective and lets the duo go inside.

Inside the museum there is a strict exit blockade guarded by the police officers, to the frustration of [[Theet]]s in the entrance area who wish to leave. The duo soon reach the Theepota mural room where the mural vanishes soon after. Making their way to the popcorn kiosk area, they eventually track down the two culprits who accidentally reveal that the mural is still inside the museum. With Junior Detective and a museum [[Staff Member#The Case of the Missing Mural|Staff Member]] hinting that they want some fresh air from opening a nearby window, Peach gets a solid clue on where the mural is, though opening the window is not mandatory for her to find the mural. She eventually finds the mural behind a curtain that was placed where the mural had been standing all along.

==Loss outcomes==
If Peach selects [[Strike of Intuition]] on an incorrect Theet, the Theet will get very angry at Peach and exclaim "I'm not one of the culprits!" in addition to the usual loss of one [[Heart Point#Princess_Peach: Showtime!|HP]] when Peach makes a wrong guess. This does not occur in the detective's office.

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

==Dress ribbon==
[[File:PPS! The Case of the Missing Mural Ribboner.jpg|thumb|Ribboner's location|right]]
'''Detective Dress''': The [[Ribboner]] is found behind a house in the first section of the stage. He is sad that he lost his ticket. [[Peach]] must use [[Sparkle]] Power on the lower right shrub, which has the Ribboner's ticket. He will reward Peach the [[Dress ribbon]] and become happy afterwards.

*Help request: ''"I lost my ticket..."''
*Rescue message: ''"Oooh! You found it?! Yay! Now I can go to the museum!"''

==Postgame hidden Theets==
The stage has three [[Ninja (Princess Peach: Showtime!)|Ninja]] Theets when it is played in the postgame:
# In front of a wall at the start of the stage.
# In front of the museum, both before and after transforming.
# On the edge between the door into the detective's office and the carpet, both before and after transforming.

*The Dutch version has a translation error in the level: Staff Members, known as "Theatermedewerker" in Dutch, retain that name for the museum's staff members despite it not being a theater.
