A Kung Fu Tale is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the upper right on the fourth floor of the Sparkle Theater. This stage is unlocked after clearing all of 3F. It is the first level where the Kung Fu Peach transformation is used.

Layout

The show starts with the kung fu master being seen on top of a staircase to a training hall, followed by its staircase exploding. With the local Kung Fu master Theet struck out, and with various Sour Bunch members around him, Peach brightens up two student Theets at the bottom of the stairs with Sparkle, who leads her to a mountain sidepath.

Getting past some Sour Bunch members and through a bridge, a large gate that Peach cannot jump over, has four Sour Bunch members taunt her. Heading further right, she opens a large red gate, gets past some swinging logs, and gets the Kung Fu Peach transformation.

Returning to the large gate, Peach kicks her way through it and heads onto a bridge. Having saved a student Theet, Peach fights face-to-face with the Kung Fu master. To beat him, Peach has to time her attacks to circular shrinking movements, similar to those in Elite Beat Agents. One successful combo will make him withdraw.

Getting through a marketplace, she finds herself in a half-circle fight stage that would later be used for Kung Fu Rehearsal, kicking and spinning through the Sour Bunch members. Making her way further through pillars and up the mountain, she finds herself fighting an army of Sour Bunch members, spinning and kicking to defeat them, and gets to the top of the mountain to fight the Kung Fu master a second time. Two successful combos are sufficient to defeat him.
