Welcome to the Spooky Party is a stage in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the right on the third floor of the Sparkle Theater. This stage is unlocked after clearing all of 2F. It is the second stage where the Patissiere transformation appears.

Layout

The stage begins with Princess Peach in her Patissiere form, arriving at a Halloween-themed sweets festival. After a while, she encounters a group of Sour Bunch minions handing out cookies, which in reality cause the surrounding Theets that ate them to become corrupted zombies craving for more sweets, causing the others to panic.

Heading back to the left door of the bakery, a Baker Theet calls on Peach to get inside with the baker, where the baker is scared by corrupted Theets trying to break down two fences inside the bakery with two other bakers struggling to hold them back, while hoping that Peach's baked goods would cleanse their corruptions, causing Peach to have to decorate cakes for them in a hurry.

After Peach decorates the cakes and cure them, they will cheer on a stage behind the kitchen. Peach heads out the center door and to the right, baking cookies for two Theets that are blocking her way, and making her way into a cookie baking challenge, where corrupted Theets try to push through the fencing again.

After Peach bakes the cookies and cure them, she and the cured Theets head down what they think will the last stretch of the parade march, until more corrupted Theets show up after Peach and the bakers arrive at the podium. They make one last batch of cookies, curing the remaining Theets at the party.

Loss outcomes

Applying to both the cake decoration and the cookie baking, if three rows of corrupted Theets arrive and break down the fences, they will run up to the cake or cookies, the bakery's lamps will light purple, and Peach will lose one HP and be returned to a few seconds before the start of the challenge.

Sparkle Gems marked with an asterisk ⁽*⁾ will always be obtained during regular gameplay.

Stella ribbon

Ribboner's location

Patissiere Ribbon: After Peach wins the cake decoration challenge, the previously locked right door to the bakery can be walked into. Ribboner is found inside, where he is surrounded by hungry corrupted Theets who keep asking him for sweets that he doesn't have. Patissiere Peach must bake cookies for them, which will revert them back to normal. The Ribboner will also become happy and award Peach the Stella ribbon.
