When players ascend to the second floor of Sparkle Theater in Princess Peach: Showtime, they'll encounter a range of transformations, including the Dashing Thief. The initial play featuring the Dashing Thief transformation, named The Perfect Infiltration, showcases the ensemble's distinct abilities.
In this scenario, Princess Peach is tasked with thwarting the Sour Thieves who have pillaged a jewelry store while the key member, Dashing Thief Sparkla, is missing. This guide is a roadmap to locating every collectible in The Perfect Infiltration play of Princess Peach: Showtime.
Unveiling Sparkle Gem Locations
Here are the precise locations of the ten Sparkle Gems within The Perfect Infiltration play:
Sparkle Gem 1
Upon entering the second area after the Sour Thieves' departure from the jewelry store, look behind a wooden box adjacent to the blue door marked with an X.
Sparkle Gem 2
Descend the stairs to the lower area and strike the spotlight thrice with the Power of Sparkle to deactivate the robots and reveal a Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 3
Inside the secret society's hideout, trigger both switches using the Power of Sparkle to unveil the Dashing Thief Sparkle and the Sparkling Gem.
Sparkle Gem 4
Upon transforming into Dashing Thief Peach, engage in an introductory sequence to acquaint yourself with the ensemble's controls. The Sparkle Gem is situated to the right upon entering the first area with green pipes before the building's entrance.
Sparkle Gem 5
Inside the building, players must employ boxes containing jewel bags to reach hooks with their hookshot, activate the switch, open the vent, and access it. Inside, they'll discover various coins and a Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gems 6 & 7
To secure the sixth Sparkle Gem, upon entering the subsequent area, grasp the blue hook before the lasers activate, enabling access to the top stage area where the gem awaits. Quick platform traversal is crucial as they swiftly deteriorate.
Prior to advancing to the next chamber, leap from the platform to the ground; Princess Peach must pose in the room's corner to access a concealed subterranean region. Utilize drones to ascend the room's peak and retrieve the Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 8
To acquire the following Sparkle Gem, players must amass all eight Sparkle Gem fragments before unlocking the vault. Here's the process:
Sparkle Gem 9
During their escape, players will face a horde of robots and lasers. Upon employing the drop and leaping onto the surface, they'll receive the ninth Sparkle Gem.
Sparkle Gem 10
Within the glider segment of the play, a Sparkle Gem awaits players. They must approach it closely to secure it. Failing to do so necessitates restarting the level. Upon unlocking the Dashing Thief Rehearsal challenge, players can refine their glider skills.
Additional Collectibles
In addition to the Sparkle Gems, players can encounter the Ribboner Theet and concealed Ninja Theets within The Perfect Infiltration play.
Ribboner Location
To locate the Ribboner in The Perfect Infiltration, players must access the secret region behind the fire escape in the play's second area. By utilizing the Power of Sparkle on the robot that pilfered his possessions, players aid this NPC, who rewards them with the Dashing Thief Dress.

Seek out the three Hide and Seek Theets in the initial two play areas of The Perfect Infiltration as follows:
- Left of the jewelry shop
- Left of the secret society's hideout
