| Effect | Allows Peach to enter the first four boss battles against the Darkle Bosses. |
A dark door is a door seen in the maingame of Princess Peach: Showtime!. A dark door shows up in the center stairs of a floor in Sparkle Theater after the four regular levels on that floor have been completed, which Stella opens after Peach gives her some of her Sparkle Gems.
The doors work similar to ★ doors in Super Mario 64 and Mario Pinball Land in that dark doors require Sparkle 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 nearly impossible to not have enough Gems for 3F and 4F.
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 reach Darkle Boss: Spotlion is therefore 70.
| Floor | Required Sparkle Gems | Boss stage |
|---|---|---|
| 1F | 10 | Darkle Boss: Disco Wing |
| 2F | 15 | Darkle Boss: Light Fang |
| 3F | 20 | Darkle Boss: Purrjector Cat |
| 4F | 25 | Darkle Boss: Spotlion |
