'''The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery''' is a stage in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', located in the upper section of the [[Sparkle Theater#BF|BF]] on the fifth-from-left. After completing [[The Case of the Rainy-Day Plot]], the player will get the opportunity to play this stage. The [[Detective Sparkla]] is trapped in this stage.

==Layout==
Upon entering the stage, [[Princess Peach]] is already in her [[Detective Peach]] transformation. [[Stella]] suggests to ask around at the museum for clues as to where the Detective Sparkla may be. There are several [[Theet]]s in the museum, but all of them talk unreasonably to Peach (for instance by trying to convince her that everything is fine and that she should leave) and are secretly [[Criminal]]s in disguise. After progressing to the right and exposing a criminal disguised as a Theet blocking a door, Detective Peach enters an area where two doors slam shut. Before they close completely, a piece of paper flies out and lands on the ground. Upon inspecting it, the paper is from the Detective Sparkla. It states that the doors will only open if the exhibits with a shared element are examined in the proper order.

There is a hallway to the right of the doors that leads to a room where four Themec Face Statues are. If all four statues are facing forwards towards the camera, a wall moves to reveal a golden statue. To open the main doors, Peach must examine four exhibits that have circles. First she must examine the Ancient Sparkle Relief that has one circle, then the Pink Crystal that has two circles, then the golden statue that has three circles, then finally the Theepota Water Urn that has four circles. With the four exhibits investigated in the correct order, the doors open.

After entering the doors, Peach and Stella find the [[Junior Detective]], who claims to have found four Detective Sparklas, but only one is the real one. He then leaves, confusing Stella. The real Detective Sparkla is the third one, as he is normal and confident in Peach. After finding the real Detective Sparkla, the two then start to make their escape. They enter nearby doors to another room.

This next room has several objects, and is also a dead end. When the detectives make their way back to the previous room, they find themselves in an almost identical room. The Detective Sparkla takes a picture of this room and hangs the photo on the wall of the first room. The second room lacks the magnifying glass on a crate, and so Peach must investigate that object to reveal the path forward, which the detectives use to continue their escape.

The path leads Peach and the Sparkla to a roof where they meet the Junior Detective, who claims to have found the exit. The Detective Sparkla then asks the Junior Detective three questions: the first is about what color cushions to get for the sofa back at the office, the second is about what time to arrive for a meeting at 9:00, and the third is how they feel about [[Grape (character)|Grape]]. The Junior Detective replies with purple, 9:00 and refers to Grape as Madame Grape. Upon investigating the Junior Detective, it is revealed to be another criminal in disguise, and the real exit is revealed. The stage is then completed.

'''Multicolored Detective Ribbon''': To the far right of the first section of the stage, there is a lift that takes [[Peach]] up to the second floor. To the far left of the second floor is [[Ribboner]], where he is stuck. [[Detective Peach]] must turn the Themec Face Statues to face the left, which will cause a bridge to appear on the second floor. Peach can then reach Ribboner, who awards her the [[Stella ribbon|ribbon]] and thanks her for fixing the floor, and runs over to his travel equipment that had been stuck on the right side of the floor.
