Ninjutsu: The Art of Flames is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the lower right on the fourth floor of the Sparkle Theater. This stage is unlocked after clearing all of 3F. It is the second level where the Ninja Peach transformation is used.

Layout

The show starts out with Peach in her Ninja transformation, as two Ninja Theets ask her for help to reclaim an invaded castle.

After sneaking her way forwards through guards who get alarmed by bells, and rotating doors, Peach makes her way to a roofed area that is being bombed by the castle invaders. After getting across the collapsing roofs and floors, Peach makes her way to two tired Theets, one of which gives her a secret scroll that turns a nearby cogwheel into a large boulder creature who flies up to the roof, reaching up to and smashing into the castle invader.

Sparkle Gems

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

	Spin the set of three rotating doors, so that Peach and the Gem ends up on the outside at the same time.
	After the three rotating doors, the Gem is between two guards.
	In the autorunner bomb section, the Gem is on the far right of the first (left) cogwheel.
	Eight Sparkle pieces during the section with bouncing flat floors. Requires a quick-timed jump to get up to the wall-jump where four of the pieces are.

Stella ribbon

Ribboner's location

Ninja Ribbon: Ribboner is found after a very tight jump to the left inside the two-floor rotating door, with a guard shining a light on him. He awards the Stella ribbon for Stella.

• Help request: "So bright!"
• Rescue message: "Agh! That light left me seeing spots!"
