'''The Dark Locomotive & the Doomed Town''' is a level in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', located in the fourth-from-left on the upper tier of the basement of the [[Sparkle Theater]]. This stage becomes accessible after clearing [[Cowgirl at Dusk]]. It is the third level where the [[Cowgirl Peach]] transformation is used.

==Layout==
The show starts with [[Cowgirl Peach]] jumping near-immediately onto the [[Horse]] that is standing nearby, taking up the chase on a [[train]] route with two lanes besides, towards [[Sour Bunch]] members on horsebacks and a train they are operating.

Having surpassed the train, Peach rescues [[Cowgirl Sparkla]] from the pole she was tied to, who then says she wish to treat her to a glass of [[milk]].

With the Horse and the Cowgirl Sparkla having set up a three-wagon diligence ride to get across broken and wonky bridges (The rear two wagons will snap off no matter how much damage they take), they make a great leap across a canyon, with [[Princess Peach|Peach]] ending up in a small corrupted village ahead. After getting across the village's four buildings, Peach jumps back onto the diligence that now has three wagons again, then jumps off again to three slowly sinking platforms as the train catches up with them, then gets back onto the horse again.

With the train now right behind them, Peach catches and throws barrels at the train's front with her lasso, getting across the final jump, with train falling down the canyon in the middle. The locomotive re-appears soon after and now catches up to Peach, instead of the other way around, as Peach has to grab floating barrels and thrown them at the front of the locomotive, to keep it at bay long enough for one final jump, with the locomotive crashing into the canyon soon after.

==Loss outcomes==
1. If Peach and the horse is on the wrong lane (Top or bottom lane) when she is supposed to line up with the pole-bound Cowgirl Sparkla in the center lane, they will run into the right end of the scene and lose one [[HP]], resetting Peach to some seconds before the lineup.

2. If all three diligence wagons explode in the final chase, by means of the locomotive ramming into it six times, Peach will be flung slightly up in the air, lose one HP and be returned to the start of the final chase.

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