“We will prevail if we work together. You will pay for what you have done!”

—Ninja Sparkla, Princess Peach: Showtime!

Ninja Sparkla is a Sparkla Theet in Princess Peach: Showtime! He is initially trapped in the basement of the Sparkle Theater by Grape. After clearing Ninjutsu: The Art of Flames, Princess Peach and Stella have the opportunity to rescue the Ninja Sparkla in the stage The Dark Ninja & the Legion of Guards.

In the aforementioned stage, the Ninja Sparkla is trapped by the guards by wrapping him around with ropes, so Ninja Peach must defeat all of the guards without being spotted by one of them. After the red guard was defeated, the Ninja Sparkla is free. Both ninjas need to escape by heading to the tower where they might find their exit there. When they got there, they scaled on the roof and found a Dark Ninja appears and tells them that their escape ends up here, making the tower to collapse into pieces. Both ninjas must chase after him. When they almost reached towards the exit, they must work together to defeat the Dark Ninja if order to escape. After clearing the stage, the Ninja Sparkla can then be found on the first floor of Sparkle Theater, where he is admired by other Theets.

Before the final battle against Grape, all of the Sparklas, including the Ninja Sparkla give Princess Peach Sparkle Power to allow her to transform into Radiant Peach. All of the Sparklas are then seen in the ending where they celebrate with everyone.
