- —Disco Wing, Princess Peach: Showtime!
Disco Wing is the first Darkle boss appearing in Princess Peach: Showtime! as a boss in the level, Darkle Boss: Disco Wing. It is one of the minions of Sour Bunch that guards the 2F. After Peach completes all the stages in 1F, she can unlock Disco Wing's dark door if she has at least 10 Sparkle Gems.
Physical description[edit ]
Disco Wing is a large, rotund puppet bird with a disco ball for a body. The head is a hot pink puffball reminiscent of an afro, and like other members of the Sour Bunch, features a golden mask, serving as the boss's face. The mask has three magenta lashes on each eye, with green concentric pupils, and on the bottom of the mask, a long puppet beak is attached with two bolts. Between the head and the body is a dark purple ruffled collar. To the sides of the boss' body are two paper-like hot pink wings. The boss lacks legs, but does feature a tail in the form of dark tuft on the bottom.
History[edit ]
Princess Peach: Showtime![edit ]
In the first phase, Disco Wing lays disco balls. Peach and Stella can rally them with Sparkle which will result a cyan aviary to launch vertically out of the disco ball. Peach must perform this attack twice underneath Disco Wing. Afterwards, Disco Wing's body will deconstruct leaving a Darkle sphere that Peach can use Sparkle to purify it, inflicting damage on the boss.
On the second phase, Disco Wing also summons disco ball-textured blocks that will fall from the air to the ground; Peach must evade them. Disco Wing also manipulates the gravity upside-down which the player controlling Peach must adapt to. If Peach was standing on the blocks while the gravity changes, the block takes one life from her. Disco Wing also rolls on the arena that crushes the blocks which Peach can jump over.
On the final phase, Disco Wing summons blocks longer than the blocks in the previous phase. While Disco Wing rolls in the arena, it will also bounce on the arena. Additionally Disco Wing lays three disco balls at a time and disco balls where purple chicks immediately hatch and approach Peach; Peach can rally them.
Upon defeat, the Darkle sphere explodes and its body disintegrates. As Peach and Stella exits the dark door, the dark door and strings blocking 2F disappears. Additionally, Peach can access the Swordfighter Rehearsal.
