A Kung Fu Legend is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the upper left on the fifth floor of the Sparkle Theater. It is the second level where the Kung Fu transformation is used.
Layout[edit]
The play starts with Peach in her Kung Fu ensemble, as four green-clothed Kung Fu Dūke run past her into the Yami no Kung Fu Master's base, while forcefully carrying the teacher's four children. Two of the teacher's disciple Theets chase them, but quickly get kicked out of the gate, leaving it to Peach to enter the base herself and give chase to the green Kung Fu Dūke. Immediately upon kicking the gate open, she must fight a horde of regular Kung Fu Dūke in orange before she is able to enter the first building.
Once inside, three of the four green Kung Fu Dūke manage to exit the building from the top right, but the fourth one carrying the teacher's second daughter is left behind. After some platforming and fighting hordes of orange Kung Fu Dūke, Peach reaches the green Kung Fu Dūke and defeats him the same way as the regular Kung Fu Dūke, freeing the daughter. After the daughter thanks her, Peach exits the building as she continues chasing the remaining green Kung Fu Dūke.
Outside, the three green Kung Fu Dūke flee towards a building complex, but before Peach can give chase, the Yami no Kung Fu Master intercepts her, forcing her into another fight. After defeating him with a two-step combo attack, the Yami no Kung Fu Master retreats into the shadows and retreats further ahead, awaiting Peach for a second fight. For now, though, Peach continues the chase as she scales the building complex outside while fighting more Kung Fu Dūke along the way, as well as a Bōjutsu Dūke on the second story, and two Tsubonage Dūke on the third story. On the final story, Peach kicks away a wooden pole that supports a wooden boardwalk, causing it to break apart, preventing the third green Kung Fu Dūke with the teacher's second son to escape. After defeating the third green Kung Fu Dūke, the son thanks Peach as she enters the next building.
Inside this building, the remaining two green Kung Fu Dūke jump downwards. Kung Fu Peach uses the pole to give chase and kick more Kung Fu Dūke along the way. Reaching the bottom of the pole, Peach moves ahead and swings along a second pole downwards, where the second green Kung Fu Dūke with the teacher's first daughter struggles to escape. Peach defeats the Kung Fu Dūke at the bottom floor and frees the daughter. After the daughter thanks her and urges her to rescue the remaining sibling, Peach climbs up inside to reach the exit, chasing the remaining green Kung Fu Dūke with the teacher's first son all the way to the Yami no Kung Fu Master's castle.
Inside the castle, the green Kung Fu Dūke jovially exclaims to the Yami no Kung Fu Master that he managed to bring him one of the children, but quickly gets dealt with by Peach. With the son saved, the other siblings gather towards him, only for the Yami no Kung Fu Master to show himself while calling his Dūke minions useless. He engages into a second fight with Peach, this time starting with an attack much different from previous battles: the Yami no Kung Fu Master starts charging up energy balls, and lobs them towards Peach in a straight line or a curve, as she must repel them back with her kicking. After repelling enough times, the Yami no Kung Fu Master starts rushing towards Peach and performs a combo attack which Peach must repel back and finish him off with a combo attack of her own. After doing so, the teacher's children gather around Peach and celebrate.
