Purrjector Cat, Princess Peach: Showtime!

Purrjector Cat is the third Darkle boss appearing in Princess Peach: Showtime! as a boss in the level, Darkle Boss: Purrjector Cat. It is one of the minions of Sour Bunch that appears on 3F after clearing the shows on said floor. Twenty Sparkle Gems are needed to open the door leading to the boss. Its name is a rough homophone between "projector" and "purr", a sound that cats make.

The battle takes place in a cartoony living room set. Purrjector Cat peers from behind the set and attacks by swiping with its paws and tail. The paws can be stopped before they attack. After some attacks, Purrjector Cat will project two shadowy paws that strike the ground at once, damaging Princess Peach if she is on the ground. Princess Peach and Stella must use Sparkle power on mice that appear during the battle to turn them into bombs that can be used to damage the boss and expose its Darkle energy. In order to attack the boss with bombs, the bombs must be in the center when Purrjector Cat slams the ground with two shadowy paws in order for them to propel upwards and damage the boss. Purrjector Cat is fought in three phases, and each phase has more attacks with its paws and tail.

Upon defeat, the Darkle sphere explodes and its body disintegrates. As Peach and Stella exits the dark door, the dark door and strings blocking 4F disappears. Additionally, Peach can access the Cowgirl Rehearsal.

After clearing the game, Purrjector Cat, as well as the other bosses, can be refought in order to earn more Sparkle Gems. The conditions for the Sparkle Gems include:

  • Avoid being hit by the cat's paws or tail.
  • Defeat Purrjector Cat using only three mice.
  • Win the fight without taking damage.

A dress with the style of Purrjector Cat, known as the Purrjector Dress, can be bought from the shop after defeating the boss.
