The Dark Ninja & the Legion of Guards is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the third-from-left in the upper section of the basement of the Sparkle Theater. It is the third level where the Ninja Peach transformation is used.
Layout[edit]
The play starts with Peach in her Ninja transformation heading towards a castle that is located further up a hillside. Ninja Sparkla is held captive partway up the hill by two lamp-holding guards. Sneaking her way through the grass, Peach defeats the two guards and frees Ninja Sparkla.
Getting through a guarded labyrinth, Peach and Ninja Sparkla find themselves in a trap, where Peach must escape from rising sharp poles. Eventually emerging from the labyrinth, the Dark Ninja runs off, leading to an autorunner section to catch up to him. With Ninja Sparkla and the Sour Bunch ninja now on opposite paths, with Peach in the middle, a timed circular attack will make Ninja Sparkla and Peach defeat him. One such attack is sufficient.
Sparkle Gems[edit]
Sparkle Gems marked with an asterisk ⁽*⁾ will always be obtained during regular gameplay.
