Stella
Species	Sparkle sprite
First appearance	Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)
Latest appearance	Super Mario Run (version 3.2.0, cameo) (2024)

Stella is the guardian of Sparkle Theater in Princess Peach: Showtime! She is a Sparkle sprite with a yellow, star-shaped head and a deep turquoise outfit consisting of a dress and a ribbon. After Grape and the Sour Bunch take over the theater, Stella requests Princess Peach's help to reclaim it. The bands of her ribbon can extend to help Peach interact with enemies and elements of scenery, and Stella herself can magically grant Peach new transformations.

A Legend-class primary spirit of Peach and Stella together was added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during the "Showtime and Wonder Spirits!" spirit event that began on the same day as Princess Peach: Showtime!'s release. In their spirit battle, Stella is represented by a tiny, yellow Kirby, and the battle is set in Luigi's Mansion, which represents the Sparkle Theater. Throughout the battle, Assist Trophies representing three transformations from Showtime! appear: Lyn, representing Swordfighter Peach; Chef Kawasaki, representing Patissiere Peach; and Akira, representing Kung Fu Peach. This is the only spirit battle in the game where multiple different Assist Trophies appear.

A statue of Stella and Peach also appears in Super Mario Run's Kingdom Builder, which was made available during the Princess Peach: Showtime! event that began an hour following the start of the spirit event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (though it was added to the notebook silhouetted alongside the other event items as part of the game's version 3.2.0 update released a week prior on March 15, 2024). The statue is unlocked after completing all nine Princess Peach missions. Stella also appears as the missions icon during the event.
