In the next room, Peach will encounter Sour Bunch swordfighters who will duel against her. The player can press {{button|switch|A}} to make Peach dodge as an enemy attempts to attack her. After dodging, the player can press {{button|switch|A}} to counterattack. After defeating the Sour Bunch, the stage lightens up and Peach can progress her path. She will encounter spotlights where the player can press {{button|switch|ZL}} or {{button|switch|ZR}} when Peach stands underneath the spotlight, revealing hidden areas. There is the same castle where there are more thorns and the Theets points out the king is in trouble with the Sour Bunch. However, they are halted by a Sour Bunch members who will prevent her from progressing. After Peach defeats two spear wielders, the armored Sour Bunch member faces off Peach behind the bars. Defeating it will brighten the stage and the bars will lift up.

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 a [[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.

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.
