Collecting Sparkle Gems in this level is a little bit different compared to the rest of the first floor stages. The biggest reason is that there are points where you earn multiple gems based on your performance. Here are all Welcome to the Festival of Sweets Sparkle Gem locations in Princess Peach: Showtime!
Princess Peach: Showtime!: Welcome to the Festival of Sweets Sparkle Gem Locations
First Sparkle Gem Location
An enemy appears at the gates as you wait for the festival to begin. Defeat it with your Sparkle Power to grab the first Sparkle Gem.
Second Sparkle Gem Location
As you move across the next area, birds fly over you with cookies. Defeat both birds before they leave the screen to pick up a Sparkle Gem.
Third Sparkle Gem Location
Now, you’re in the farm area. Use Sparkle Power to make the Wheat and Strawberries bloom. Once every plant blooms, you earn a Sparkle Gem.
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Sparkle Gem Locations
These gems are acquired based on your performance baking cookies. As you bake, you’ll see a large bar in the back that fills up as you make more cookies. Filling the bar completely gets you a total of three Sparkle Gems. To do this, whisk until the batter has a rainbow, sparkly appearance to yield the most cookies at a time and fill the bar before time runs out.
Seventh Sparkle Gem Location
When you move to the next section, continue to the far right of the area and pose in the spotlight with ZL or ZR. In the new room, make cookies for the Theets, earning you a Sparkle Gem. Pose in the spotlight again to return above ground.
Eighth and Ninth Sparkle Gem Locations
Like the previous gem cluster, eight and nine are based on performance again. This time, you’re decorating cakes. If you decorate all five cakes before time runs out, you receive two Sparkle Gems.
Tenth Sparkle Gem Location
Now, you have the honor of officially starting the festival. Take the big Sparkle cookie and run it up the stairs. Then, place it on the pedestal to earn the last Sparkle Gem.
And that’s all Welcome to the Festival of Sweets Sparkle Gem locations in Princess Peach: Showtime! I thought that these were among the easiest to grab, but it was fun to have a level that’s based on baking.
