==Overview==

[[File:PPS Sparkle Theater Arrival.png|thumb|left|200px|Peach and the Toads arriving at the Sparkle Theater.]]

There are ten types of plays with three levels each, with the first one introducing its transformation. The third level of each theme is located in the basement, where all the Sparklas, the stars of each show, are trapped. To complete the level, Peach has to find and rescue the captured Sparklas and then work alongside them to reach the exit.

The game also offers Peach to put on a [[Heart Charm]], which increases the HP maximum to eight. It is offered, and can be removed, by a Staff Member [[Theet]] in the upper left of the 1F circle stairs. Stella can also offer it to Peach if she runs out of hearts twice in the same section of a show. There are no known negative effects of using the Heart Charm, besides the extra hearts being shown as green.

==Plot==

Throughout the game, Peach and Stella rid the theater plays of the Sour Bunch. This involves Peach transforming into one of ten ensembles: [[Swordfighter Peach|Swordfighter]], [[Detective Peach|Detective]], [[Patissiere Peach|Patissiere]], [[Kung Fu Peach|Kung Fu]], [[Ninja Peach|Ninja]], [[Cowgirl Peach|Cowgirl]], [[Figure Skater Peach|Figure Skater]], [[Dashing Thief Peach|Dashing Thief]], [[Mermaid Peach|Mermaid]], and [[Mighty Peach|Mighty]], depending on the type of play. Peach also has to find and save the ten Sparklas, a group of Theets who are the stars of each type of play. Eventually, Peach and Stella come face to face with Grape. Peach transforms into [[Radiant Peach]] in order to battle Grape. Peach ultimately defeats her, and Grape disappears. All that is left is her mask. As Peach and Stella walk away, the mask laughs, and Grape suddenly comes back to life, destroying the Sparkle Theater in the process. Peach transforms into a more powerful version of her Radiant transformation, known as [[Super Radiant Peach]], and is forced to battle Grape once again.

Once Grape is defeated for good, Peach rebuilds the theater with her powers. She transforms back into her normal self as the Theets approach her and Stella. They all turn to the camera to the sound of applause, take a bow (with the exception of Peach, who curtsies instead) and wave goodbye as confetti falls. Finally, Peach winks and [[Fourth wall|thanks the player]] for helping her out.

During the credits, photos show highlights from the game, before coming to still shots of Peach reuniting with the Toads. The pink ribbon that held Peach's hair in place magically unties itself. One of the Toads hands Stella the crown, which she places on Peach's head. The credits end with a photo of Peach and Stella high-fiving surrounded by the Theets, and zooms out to reveal an envelope, a letter, and Peach's crown, all sitting on Peach's bedside table.
