The Dark Depths & the Swirling Currents is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located on the right on the bottom part of the basement of the Sparkle Theater. This stage becomes available after Blight of the Sea has been completed. It is the third level where the Mermaid transformation is used.

Layout[edit]

The level starts out with a strong backwind current towards Peach, although she can stand still in the current at that point of the stage. A group of whirlpools are seen in the background.

Large clamshells walk by in the background, and Peach has to start out by recruiting a school of five fish, and then have the fish open yellow floating clams where more fish are inside, to end up with 15 fish.

The clams walk by in groups of two, and Mermaid Sparkla is in the second one. As Peach and Mermaid Sparkla make an attempt to swim off, the currents get stronger, and both Peach and Mermaid Sparkla begins floating slightly backwards if they stay still.

With the current getting steadily worse, Mermaid Sparkla invites Peach to sing a duet, to encourage nearby sea turtles and fish. As the fish bounce back and forth between the two singers, the whirlpools calm down, and the problems go away.
