As soon as gamers start playing Princess Peach: Showtime, they'll be introduced to four of Peach's transformations.

Ninja Peach is one of the first transformations in Princess Peach: Showtime, and it brings stealth gameplay to the table as well as cool acrobatics.
Princess Peach: Showtime: Welcome to the Festival of Sweets - Sparkle Gem Locations
Patisserie Peach is one of the many transformations in Princess Peach: Showtime. Here are the Sparkle Gems in the first pastry-making level.
This guide will guide players through the first Ninja Peach level, Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids, and it will show them how they can find every Sparkle Gem as well as the hidden Dress Ribbon.
Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids Sparkle Gem Locations
Here are the locations of all ten Sparkle Gems in Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids Sparkles, one of the first levels in Princess Peach: Showtime.
Sparkle Gem 1
As soon as gamers start the level, they'll notice that they can't move through the gate, so they'll have to find another way into the village. This coincides with how they can get their hands on the first Sparkle Gem.
To retrieve the first Sparkle Gem, gamers must press B to use Power of Sparkle and revive the trees. This will turn them into beautiful cherry blossoms and the gem will pop out of them. On top of this, a secret passage to the village will open.
Sparkle Gem 2
After learning the basics of stealth in Princess Peach: Showtime, gamers will notice a large rock formation, eerily similar to the one that led them into the village. They will be able to enter it by interacting with it, and while the scenario is turning around, they will get a glimpse of the second Sparkle Gem - located behind the rocks on the left.
Sparkle Gem 3
After unlocking the Ninja Peach transformation, gamers will learn how to climb up walls using Peach's new ability set. As they learn to climb up the walls to collect coins along the vertical path, they'll come across the third Sparkle Gem in Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids.
Sparkle Gem 4
Players will then progress to the next area, where they'll be taught how to do the Secret Kunai Slice technique. To do it, they must hide in the grass and then press the B button to strike an unsuspecting enemy.
To unlock the fourth Sparkle Gem, gamers have to perform the Kunai Slice on the first enemy - the one near the large rock between the two patches of grass.
Sparkle Gem 5
As players progress through the level, they'll notice an enemy on a watch tower. To reach this bad guy, Peach has to camouflage herself and blend in with the wall - gamers can do this by pressing forward on the left analog stick. Then, once the player is in clear and successfully reached the other side, they will have to jump onto the lamp so they can hop onto the tower and subsequently onto the roof. The Sparkle Gem will be right up ahead on the left.
Sparkle Gem 6
Next, players will learn how to move while they're in the water. Players can avoid the guard sleeping on the bridge by getting in the water and moving forward so they can reach the next area undetected.
There are three pots under a tree, left of the sleeping guard, players can break them to discover the Ribbon NPC, which will give Peach the Ninja Dress Ribbon.
To remain undetected, players must keep using the water as camouflage. They must strike the red-armored enemy before he spots them; this will reveal the next Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 7
Even though the previously imprisoned Theet will tell gamers that they must chase after the enemy that stole the scroll, the seventh Sparkle Gem is in this area, and they have to get it before moving forward.
Players must walk over the bridge on the right to get to the background scenario. Then, there will be a spotlight on the far right, and they'll have to strike a pose in order to activate it and enter the underground location.
Here, they must once again follow the path of coins as they wall jump higher. At the very top, they will find the seventh Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 8
The next few sequences of the level will be very fast-paced, and players won't be able to go back, as Peach will keep running to try and catch up to the enemy. So, if players miss the next two Sparkle Gems, they'll have to replay Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids.
Players must collect all eight Sparkle Gem fragments in order to complete the eighth Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 9
In the chase sequence, players can strike the birds that get in their way. The second flying enemy in the second chase scene holds a Theet by its claws. Players must strike the bird and set the Theet free, and it will reward them with the ninth Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 10
After riding the giant wave, Peach will finally catch up to the enemy that stole the scroll. Once players get close enough, they must strike it in order to defeat it and collect the last Sparkle Gem.
