The Dark Locomotive & the Doomed Town is a level in Princess Peach: Showtime!, located in the fourth-from-left on the upper tier of the basement of the Sparkle Theater. This stage becomes accessible after clearing Cowgirl at Dusk. It is the third level where the Cowgirl Peach transformation is used.

Layout

The show starts with Cowgirl Peach jumping near-immediately onto the Horse that is standing nearby, taking up the chase on a train route with two lanes besides, towards Sour Bunch members on horsebacks and a train they're operating.

Having surpassed the train, Peach rescues Cowgirl Sparkla from the pole she was tied to.

With the Horse and the Cowgirl Sparkla having set up a three-wagon ride to get across broken and wonky bridges, they make a great leap across a canyon, with Peach ending up in a small corrupted village ahead. After getting across the village's four buildings, Peach jumps back onto the horse, then jumps off again to three slowly sinking platforms as the train catches up with them, then gets back onto the horse again.

With the train now right behind them, Peach catches and throws barrels at the train's front with her lasso, getting across the final jump, with train falling down the canyon in the middle. The locomotive now catches up to Peach, instead of the other way around, as Peach has to grab floating barrels and thrown them at the front of the locomotive, to keep it at bay long enough for one final jump, with the locomotive crashing into the canyon soon after.
