We will show you where to find all 7 Sparkle Gems, how to get the ribbon for Stella and where to find the 3 Ninja Theets after the game is over.


Sparkle Gems in Cowgirl at Dusk

In Cowgirl at Dusk there are a total of 7 Sparkle Gems. Some you get automatically on the main path, others you have to actively collect during fast riding and train sections.

# Location Description
1 First riding section Right at the beginning you ride through a western area. As soon as the path splits, take the lower path. There the first Sparkle Gem floats over a table. Stay down and jump in time so you don’t miss it.
2 Fragment collection during train tracking As you follow the train, eight small Sparkle Gem fragments appear. Collect all eight to create the second complete Sparkle Gem. Pay special attention to jumps, obstacles and the right path, as you will only get the fragments during this section.
3 On the train roof After you reach the train, you move over the roofs of the wagons. At the end of this section you jump from one wagon to the next or from the roof. The third Sparkle Gem is directly on your way. Don’t jump too early so you’ll take it safely.
4 Secret room on the train After you have come down from the roof, look at the bags on the left for a sparkling spot on the floor. Stand on it and pose with ZL or ZR. In the secret room you have to free the theets from the barrels. Then you will receive the fourth Sparkle Gem.
5 Horse next to the train In the further train section, a horse with a Sparkle Gem on his back appears next to the train. It is accompanied by opponents. Use your Lasso, pick up barrels and throw them at the horse or opponents. You have to be fast enough before the horse disappears.
6 Waddling train section Later, the train begins to wobble strongly and objects roll towards you. Avoid the obstacles and pay attention to the boxes and barrels. The sixth Sparkle Gem in this section is clearly visible behind or between the rolling objects.
7 Conclusion of the play The last Sparkle Gem will be rewarded after you stop the train and complete the play.

Location of the ribbon

Also in this level you can get a ribbon for Stella again. You have to save the ribboner.

Rewards Location Description
Cowgirl-Ribbon for Stella In a barrel near the secret room The ribboner is in a barrel to the right in the area where the sparkling pose spot for the secret room is also located. Use your Lasso, pull in the barrel and free him. Then you get the ribbon.

The easiest way to do this is immediately after collecting the third Sparkle Gem and coming down from the train roof. First find the sparkling spot for the secret room and then pay attention to the barrel with the ribboner nearby.


Stop train and complete level

In the last section you have to finally stop the train. For this you continue to use the Lasso of Cowgirl-Princess Peach.

Grab barrels, logs or other objects and throw them against the train as soon as a suitable opening shows up. Wait for the right moment so that your throws do not go empty.

If the train tilts or gets into a spin, you have to reach with the Lasso for the right part of the train. Pay attention to your position and jump if necessary if the target is a little higher. Once you stop the train, the play ends 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 at Dusk you have to find the 3 Ninja Theets.

# Location Description
1 Directly after the initial sequence The first Theet is right behind you as soon as the short scene is over at the beginning. Talk to him before you get on the horse and start the riding section.
2 On the left of the roof The second Theet hides on the train. Once you’re on top of the wagons, keep your left and look for it before you jump over the rooftops.
3 Between two wagons The third Theet can later be found on a connecting piece between two wagons. It appears after the section in which objects roll towards you. Pay attention to the transition between the train parts before you continue running.

Tips for Cowgirl at Dusk

Tip Declaration
Check lower paths Already the first Sparkle Gem is on a lower path. Do not automatically take turns up, but pay attention to visible collection objects.
Collecting fragments early In the second Sparkle Gem you have to get all eight fragments in the riding section. If you miss one, you have to play the section again.
Observe sparkling pose points The fourth Sparkle Gem is in a secret room. You recognize such rooms in a sparkling spot on the floor.
Use Lasso quickly In the fifth crystal and the final, it depends on good timing with the Lasso. Grab barrels and other items early so you have enough time to throw.
Search Theet only after the end of the game The three Ninja Theets appear only in the later course of the game or after the conclusion of the main story.
