As I mentioned this is the last floor, I'm on there are 4 stages with 7 sparkles each and stella ribbons. The remaining sparklas are Kung Fu, Mighty, Skater, and Mermaid. I have no real preference outside doing mermaid last, so I started with Kung Fu which I did perfect. I then did mighty since I just feel the transformation is kind of lame, I wish it was better, in fact I wish most of the game was better. Regardless I managed everything but 1 sparkle for it. I managed the same with the Ice Skater, everything but 1 sparkle. Finishing off with Mermaid I messed up on 2 sparkles but got the rest and the ribbon too.
I do want to mention that so far, I've enjoyed the Kung Fu, Ninja, Sword fighter, and Thief stages. I feel like the concept of the ice skater, and detective were cool just not implemented the best. Possibly the same for the cowgirl stages since the controls worked the best on its stage with aiming and everything. I just wasn't interested in it. I feel the baker should be like its own game since it is so different and isn't really something I expected amongst the rest. Basically, most of the ideas were great but so many were put together in a way that takes away from each of them.
Decided rather than going up and down the elevator a bunch to do the challenge level as there is no boss on this floor, it's in the basement behind unlocking the last 4 sparklas. Anyways it's a mighty challenge and getting gold unlocks the scaly dress design which is just triangles of different pinks patterned across the dress. I stopped at the shop to buy the last dress available at the moment I think more unlock by saving sparklas... then headed to the basement.
There are 4 left each with 5 possible sparkles and a stella ribbon that can be found. For the Kung Fu sparkla I missed one sparkle. I did the skater stage perfectly after falling off the stage a few times. In the mighty stage I missed out on 3 sparkles since it wants perfection but I did get lucky and get the stella ribbon. Of course, I did the mermaid last with it being my least favorite to use and somehow right off the bat I missed a sparkle and the ribbon.
With the sparklas all free the final boss door becomes available to face Madame Grape once and for all. It costs 30 sparkle gems to open this last door up. Peach also does one last transformation which is soooo pretty. I wish there was more to do with it; it's called Radiant Peach. The outfit reminds me of the ice queen in fairytales. There are 2 forms in this final battle so don't go thinking you are done and put the controller down until she evaporates like all the other villains in the game do.
Once done you can spend sparkles to decorate the theater and replay stages in case you missed things. There is no bonus or reward outside the image for each perfect stage in the album. Same goes with buying all the dresses nothing special there just cosmetic as it does nothing. So I decided to just spend the sparkles and coins I had to unlock what I could look at then be done with it. There is also a hide and seek challenge with the ninja sparkla for all the levels which is a great excuse to replay all the levels but there isn't really a reward for doing it, so also not doing. Finally, there are boss challenges the only chance to fight the final boss again if you like Radiant Peach but outside that they don't give you anything for doing them outside more album photos.
My final review is this game is great for younger audiences since the stages are short enough to hold their attention through the whole stage and be played in small intervals. Outside that though this game just is full of good ideas that all fall a little short like how the stages all seem a bit short only lasting around 15 minutes with some shorter and a few a bit longer. The boss fights are all creative and pretty fun especially the last one but unfortunately that last boss fight has the best transformation set to just it. Logically the transformation doesn't work for the other stages, but it feels like it would have been nice to have some special unlocked thing to do with it. I hope in the future they use these ideas and feedback from the community to make a truly spectacular game for Peach.
The TLDR: I found the game fun but short so worth playing sure but maybe not paying full price for.
