If you’ve been enjoying beating up minions galore in Princess Peach: Showtime, I’ve some good news. The next level, A Kung Fu Legend - which is Peach’s second time taking on the role of Kung Fu Peach - is full of the Sour Bunch’s mischievous minions for you to beat to a pulp.

Not only that, but there are another seven Sparkle Gems for you to get your hands on, too. If you need a helping hand finding them all, here’s where to find all Sparkle Gems in Princess Peach: Showtime’s A Kung Fu Legend stage-play.

All Princess Peach: Showtime A Kung Fu Legend Sparkle Gems

With A Kung Fu Legend being Kung Fu Peach’s second appearance in Princess Peach: Showtime, there are fortunately only seven Sparkle Gems to collect.

We’ve listed these in the order you can expect to find them in, so feel free to skip ahead if you’re here hunting specific collectables.

Ribbon

Before entering the upcoming castle, go right - down the alley - towards some vases. Break them to reveal a Theet, who’ll reward you with a Ribbon for having helped them.

Ribbons are used to unlock new outfits for Peach’s companion, Stella.

Sparkle Gem #1

The first Sparkle Gem is a reward for freeing the first Theet at the very beginning of the level.

In the room where you rescued the third Theet, use the bars and poles to platform up to the top. Once here, eight Sparkle Gem segments will appear along the pole to your right.
