Every level of Princess Peach: Showtime has some Sparkle Gems tucked away, and you might need some help to find them all. The first set of every level has ten Sparkle Gems, the second round has seven, and the final adventure in any given ensemble has five. But while they get less numerous, they often become a little tricker to grab. Some are rewarded for standard progression, but most require you to hunt them down.
What Are Sparkle Gems For?
With ten, then seven, then five, that makes 22 per ensemble, and with ten ensembles, 220 overall. However, you'll need 70 in order to unlock each boss through the game, so they can't be overlooked. You'll also be able to buy decorations in the post-game with Sparkle Gems, and will need a full collection to buy everything. You also get a new snap for your album each time you collect them all, so you'll get a little reward for every level you clear.
Where To Find Every Sparkle Gem
We've split our guide up into each costume so they should be easier to find - just select the costume you want and come back here next time you're stuck.

Where To Find Every Ribbon
As well as the Sparkle Gems, another collectible to keep in mind are the array of Ribbons. Each level has a Ribbon Man hiding in it, and finding him will net you a handsome reward. In the first set of any costume's level, he awards you a new dress for Peach. In the second version of any costume's level, you'll get a new look for Stella, your trusty ribbon companion. And then find him again in each ensemble's third outing where you must rescue the Sparkla, and you will get an upgrade dress for Peach and a new ribbon for Stella. Win win! Our guide here covers all 30 hiding places for the hapless Ribbon Man, with everything from being traped beneath a landslide to losing his train ticket to buying a fancy new painting.
