Inhabitants	Theets, Stella

It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: Consider merging with Princess Peach: Showtime!#Plays onto this page.

Sparkle Theater is a large theater run by Theets and the main location of Princess Peach: Showtime!. It is made up of various buildings and located on a small island near a seaside town. During the game, Princess Peach, along with a few Toads, visits the theater to watch a show, but are interrupted by the arrival of Grape and the Sour Bunch, who take over the venue. Princess Peach then sets out with the theater's guardian Stella in order to defeat them and save the theater.

96 Theets are present in the two main lobby floors combined after the main game has been completed.

Layout

Inside, the Sparkle Theater is spacious and elegant, featuring numerous plays spread across five floors and a basement. On each floor, posters and banners featuring the floor's plays decorate the area, as well as stairs to access the other floors. There is also a Star Lift that can also be accessed to reach any respective floor automatically once the third floor has been completed. While each floor is controlled by its respective Darkle boss, it features purple lighting, Sour Bunch posters and banners replacing the regular ones and threads blocking the stairs to the next floors.

Levels 1 through 3 of all transformations, and the bosses on 1F through 4F, must be cleared in order to enter the final boss. The rehearsal "EX" bonus levels are not required.

Floor plan

For the German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese versions of the game, 1F is numbered as the ground floor, with higher floors starting from 1 and up. For instance, 4F in the English version would be 3F in those languages. Asian languages and Russian use the English version's floor numbers.
