== Profile==
===Appearance===
The Sour Bunch Figure Skater wears blue clothing and white gloves. He wears boots with ice skates and a white hood with a feather. He also has glowing purple dots for eyes.
===Personality===
The Sour Bunch Figure Skater is quite flamboyant and egotistical. However, he has respect for Princess Peach's figure skating skills when defeated.
==Battle==
The Sour Bunch Figure Skater is first seen in the level A Snow Flower On Ice, corrupting eight Skating Theets after Princess Peach performs with them with her figure skating costume. The Figure Skater takes the corrupted Theets to his hideout, where Peach encounters him and fights with him. She has to spin around the skater around to stun him and reclaim the Skating Theets, freeing them from his control. After Princess Peach frees all of the Theets from his control, the Figure Skater falls down with a ring appearing around his location, and Peach and the Skating Theets have to follow this ring for the grand finale. Upon defeat, he expresses admiration for Princess Peach's skills. The second battle occurs in a similar level, A Parade On Ice, and is largely the same, but the Figure Skater has Sour Bunch goons at his side, making the fight slightly harder.
The third battle occurs in the level The Dark Ice & the Shadowy Stage. Here, the rules are different. The Sour Bunch Figure Skater will spawn falling stalactites with his spins, and after she stuns him, Peach has to perform snowflake jumps. This done, the Figure Skater Sparkla will break free, whereupon she and the princess can team up to make circles around the Sour Bunch Figure Skater to take him down for good.
== Trivia ==
* Tundra Man, a Robot Master from Rockman 11: Gears of Fate!!, is similar to the Sour Bunch Figure Skater, has many similarities to him: they have blue and purple as part of their colour schemes, their moveset incorporates spin attacks, their personalities paint them as flamboyant, and the two are figure skaters. However, while Princess Peach needs a figure skating costume, Rockman does not get a skating costume when he and Tundra Man square off.
* The Sour Bunch Figure Skater shares his battle theme with the Sour Bunch Cowboy. This is ironic, considering he is fought in a completely different location and the two have different personalities.
