The Castle of Thorns: Difference between revisions

Peach will climb up a spiral pathway that leads to the castle with Sour Bunch members attempting to attack Peach along with thorns blocking the path. As she progresses to the top, she will see the king in distress with a Sour Bunch holding it captive. Approaching the castle will result the stage to turn, revealing the [[thorn plant]] in its arena, as the first boss fight. During battle, while it summons thorn attacks, Peach must damage its three-dimensional thorns. This will result the plant to hit its head to the ground, sending a wave shaped like a circle where Peach must dodge and stomp the thorn plant, then repeatedly attack consecutively until it is defeated. If it recovers, Peach can repeat the process to leave the thorn plant vulnerable to her attacks. Upon its defeat, it will break into pieces and disappear along with the thorns reverting the castle to revert to its normal state. Peach automatically obtains the Sparkle Gem and the stage is completed.

#At the end of the first section, Peach will encounter a group of enemies, each guarding an inactive flower-shaped projector. Regardless of whether or not the enemies are defeated beforehand, Peach can use Sparkle on the projectors to turn them on and make them light up the back wall, with all projectors revealing a curtained passage to the next section. As the passage appears, a Sparkle Gem will appear shortly after in the center of the section for Peach to get.

#Appears in the second section, near the dress ribbon room.

'''Swordfighter Dress''': Located in the sub-area in the second section after using Sparkle on six trees.
