Dark door
A dark door as it appears on 2F.
Appears in	Princess Peach: Showtime! (2024)
Effect	AllowsPeach to enter the first four boss battles against theDarkle Bosses.

Adark door is a door seen in the maingame ofPrincess Peach: Showtime!. A dark door shows up in the center stairs of a floor inSparkle Theater after the four regular levels on that floor have been completed, whichStella opens afterPeach gives her some of herSparkle Gems.

The doors work similar to★ doors inSuper Mario 64 andMario Pinball Land in that dark doors requireSparkle Gems to open, but the Sparkle Gem requirements to open the dark doors are much more lenient than in the former two games, as it is not possible for Peach to not have enough Gems to give Stella for 1F and 2F, and very difficult to not have enough Gems for 3F, 4F and BF. For instance the known possible minimum amount of Sparkle Gems Peach can have when reaching 3F's Dark Door is 41, when the total needed to open the door is 45.

There is no dark door on 5F, to Stella's initial confusion.

Sparkle Gems given to Stella will be spent, and the required amount of Sparkle Gems collected throughout the game to reachIt's Showtime, Grape! is therefore 100.
