There are five Sparkle Gems in The Dark Swordfighter & the Arena play - here's where to find them.

Since this is a basement floor play, it only has five Sparkle Gems for players to collect. However, there are other collectibles for fans to get in order to 100 percent complete the level. This guide will show gamers how they can obtain every single item in this level.

The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery Sparkle Gem Locations

Here are the locations of the five Sparkle Gems in the third Detective Peach play in Princess Peach: Showtime.

Sparkle Gem 1

The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery enigma

Players will have to discover the correct objects in the right orderto get access to the mystery door in the museum. To do this, they must use the Strike of Intuition on each item to enable the light underneath them. Interact with each exhibition item in the order mentioned below to open the mysterious door and get the first Sparkle Gem:

  1. Ancient Sparkle Relief
  2. Pink Crystal (use Strike of Intuition on the Theet in front of it to be able to approach the crystal)
  3. Golden Themec Face Statue (get all the statues to face forward to access the golden statue)
  4. Theepota Water Urn

Sparkle Gem 2

In order to get the second Sparkle Gem in The Dark Museum & the Purple Mystery, gamers must guess who the real Detective Sparkla is once they enter the next room.

Two clues unveil the identity of the Detective Sparkla: their nose doesn't light up and they're the only one who don't beg to be rescued when interrogated. The real Detective Sparkla in Princess Peach: Showtime is the second Theet on the right, the one with the orange nose.

Sparkle Gem 3

After going through the next door, the player and Detective Sparkla will find themselves trapped between two rooms that look almost exactly the same.

After going back and forth twice, the Detective will snap a picture of the neighboring room and put it up on the wall of the original room. Players can analyze this image and figure out a clue to solving the mystery. There is only one thing that sets the two rooms apart: the box with the large magnifying glass on it; a secret door will appear after Peach uses her Strike of Intuition on this item.

Sparkle Gem 4

Before heading to the next room and making their escape, players must strike a pose on the blue rug in front of the door, as it'll take them to a secret underground area. Here, they must interact with the large wooden box, as the blue sparkles it emits are a clue to the Sparkle Gem hidden inside.

Sparkle Gem 5

After players step through the door, Detective Sparkla will question Junior Detective, as he's undoubtedly been acting strange. It will become clear that this is one of Madame Grape's masked bandits. To retrieve the fifth Sparkle Gem, Peach must use the Strike of Intuition on Junior Detective.

Other Collectibles

Here is the location of the Ribboner NPC and the hidden Theet in The Dark Musem & the Purple Mystery.

Ribboner Locations

There's an elevator on the far right of the museum, and the Ribonner is at the top. However, it seems the floor disappeared, and he's stuck up there. The statue above is facing left, and if players interact (B) with the statues below and turn them all to the left, they will make the floor reappear and allow the Ribboner to leave. The Ribboner will give Peach the Multicolored Detective Ribbon as a reward.

Hide and Seek Theet Location

There is only one Hide and Seek Theet in this location, as it's a shorter play. Gamers can find the Theet in the room with the ancient Themec statues, right behind the treasure chest on the right.
