Here are all the collectibles in the A Snow Flower on Ice play in Princess Peach: Showtime.

The Case of the Missing Mural is the first Detective Peach play in Princess Peach: Showtime, and it has a dozen collectibles for gamers to find. It can be difficult to get to all of them, but thankfully, this guide will show players where to find them.

The Case of the Missing Mural Sparkle Gem Locations

Here are the locations of the ten Sparkle Gems in The Case of the Missing Mural's play in Princess Peach: Showtime.

Sparkle Gem 1

As players start walking down the street in The Case of the Missing Mural, they'll come across two thieves trying to rob a scared Theet. They can get rid of them by hitting them with the Power of Sparkle. The Theet will be grateful and give them a Sparkle Gem.

Sparkle Gem 2

The second Sparkle Gem is behind the sign near the museum entrance.

Sparkle Gem 3

The third Sparkle Gem can be found in the detective's office. To get it, gamers must solve the riddle and gain access to the detective's secret room. They must use the Power of Sparkle on the books in the room in this order: Star, Thunderbolt, Cloud, Sun. In the next room, Peach will unlock the Detective Peach transformation.

Sparkle Gem 4

To progress, players will have to use the Strike of Intuition on the sofa cushions to discover the Junior Detective's location, prove themselves as a detective, and receive a Sparkle Gem as a reward.

Sparkle Gem 5

Before heading to the museum, players must make sure that they pose in front of the manhole next to the detective's home. Here, they must use the Strike of Intuition to investigate the contents of the wooden box with the strange light blue glow. Inside, they will find a Sparkle Gem.

Sparkle Gem 6

The next Sparkle Gem can be found in the museum, where the bandits stole the Theepota mural. Investigate the stone slate carved with ancient text on the far left of the museum in order to uncover the air duct vent, receive the sixth Sparkle Gem, and proceed.

Sparkle Gem 7

Next, players will learn that the stolen masks on the other side of the museum make it possible for those who wear them to alter their appearance and disguise themselves. Before leaving the room, players should grab the blue Spades key, and then place it in the sarcophagus with the matching keyhole on the other side of this museum area to get the seventh Sparkle Gem.

Sparkle Gem 8

To get the next Sparkle Gem, gamers will have to find the first culprit hiding in the museum. To get the clues necessary to discover who it is, gamers must speak to the Popcorn Vendor and the Security Guard who's been locked away in the sarcophagus with the Diamonds keyhole.

The information will be enough to uncover the culprit's identity and find out that it's the guard standing next to the popcorn stand with the camera in their hand.

Sparkle Gem 9

If gamers speak to the Theets near the three Theet statues, one will claim that there used to only be two statues, and the other will say that the one with the sunglasses is a real statue. Additionally, the Theet in front of the popcorn stand mentions that someone stole their popcorn when the lights went out. This allows players to conclude that the fake statue is the one in the middle, and if they use their Strike of Intuition on it, the thief's identity will be revealed and a Sparkle Gem will be given to Detective Peach.

Sparkle Gem 10

To receive the last Sparkle Gem, gamers must find out where the mural was hidden. To do this, they have to interact with the locked window, then return to the room on the left to tell the Theet sitting on the stool that the other exhibit has been reopened. They will leave, allowing Peach to grab the stool and bring it over to the window so she can open it.

A breeze will come through, revealing that the Theepota mural was hidden away behind its original location. Once Peach has solved the mystery, she will receive the tenth Sparkel Gem.
