Sparkle Gems in Cowgirl in the Wilderness

| # | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Building in front of the first gate | Go to the building in front of the gate at the beginning. There you will find several wilted flowers or pots. Use Princess Peach’s sparkling power to make them bloom again. Then the first Sparkle Gem appears. |
| 2 | Before the Saloon | The second Sparkle Gem lies in front of the saloon behind two barrels. Defeat nearby opponents or dodge them and collect the crystal behind the barrels. |
| 3 | Building with the Cowgirl Transformation | Enter the building where you get the Cowgirl ability. Bring the lamps to the light. As soon as at least one lamp is activated, the third Sparkle Gem appears. |
| 4 | Saloon | After receiving Cowgirl Princess Peach, you must defeat all enemies in the Saloon and save the captured Theet. When all are liberated, you will receive the fourth Sparkle Gem. |
| 5 | Chase to Horse | During the first riding passage, eight Sparkle Gem fragments appear. Collect all eight to create the fifth Sparkle Gem. Pay particular attention to jumps and obstacles. |
| 6 | Crate during the chase | Shortly after the fragments, a crate appears, which you can use with the Lasso. Grab them in time and draw them to you to receive the sixth Sparkle Gem. |
| 7 | Crate on a Horse | During the chase, one of the horses carries another crate. Use your Lasso as soon as you are close enough. In this crate is the seventh Sparkle Gem. |
| 8 | End of riding tracking | At the end of the DK Island Swing you have to catch the thief with the Lasso. Once you successfully catch it, you get the eighth Sparkle Gem. |
| 9 | Secret pose room in front of the boss | Before you leave the area and move on to the boss, pay attention to a glowing pose spot. Stand on it and press ZL or ZR. Do the task in the secret room to get the ninth Sparkle Gem. |
| 10 | Boss fight | The last Sparkle Gem is automatically received after defeating the cowboy boss and completing the play. |
Location of the ribbon
You get the ribbon in Cowgirl in the Wilderness from the ribboner. For this you have to find him in the building with the Cowgirl ability.
| Rewards | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cowgirl-Ribbon for Stella | Buildings with the Cowgirl ability | Light or activate all lamps in the building where you get the Cowgirl ability. After that, the ribboner appears in the corner. Use Princess Peach’s sparkling power or your attack to free him and get the ribbon. |
It is best to complete this task directly before you leave the building. Later in the level, you do not automatically return there.
Boss Fight: cowboy boss
At the end of the level you will fight against the cowboy boss you met in the Wild Star saloon. The fight is mainly about good evasion and the targeted use of the Lasso.
| Step | Strategy |
|---|---|
| Dodge bullets | The boss fires several shots. Move out of the line of fire first before attacking yourself. |
| Barrels grabbing | After the shots, the cowboy boss fires a barrel. Grab it with the Lasso as soon as it is reachable. |
| Discarding barrels | Put the barrel on the boss. Be careful not to throw it into its bullets, otherwise it will be destroyed. |
| Take the boss | If the boss is stunned after a barrel hit, you can grab him with the Lasso and cause additional damage. |
| Avoiding the bull attack | In his assault you should avoid to the edge and keep distance. The attack pattern is then repeated. |
Do not try to grab the boss directly with the Lasso while he shoots or rushes towards you. This only works if he has been stunned by a retracted barrel.
After three successful hits, the cowboy boss is defeated and you get the last Sparkle Gem.
After Completion: Find 3 Ninja Theets
After completing the main story, you can do additional search tasks in already played plays. In Cowgirl in the Wilderness you have to find the 3 Ninja Theets.
| # | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Right House at the Beginning | The first Theet is at the beginning of the level in the right house. Enter the building before continuing towards Saloon. |
| 2 | To the left of the door. | In the next area you will find the second Theet to the left of the boarded door. Search the front of the house before you continue. |
| 3 | The Cowgirl Transformation | The third Theet can be found in the area where you received the Cowgirl ability. On the left are shelves with barrels. Look to the far left on these shelves. |
