Puzzle Pieces are items in Super Princess Peach. Collecting all 144 of them is not required to complete the main game, though it does unlock the Endless Vibe and also results in them replacing the locations of Toads in every level. Furthermore, if the player collects every Puzzle Piece to one of the eight puzzles, they can unlock it from the menu.

There are two ways to obtain Puzzle Pieces. Most of them are hidden in levels, where there is usually only one, though Puzzle Pieces can also be obtained from the shop.
