You'll need 185 gems to unlock this level.

Toadette finds herself Draggadon's cave. There are invisible coins along the wall near where you start. Once again, you'll want to grab as many coins as you can while dodging Draggadon's flames and Mummy-Me. This means you'll have to keep moving behind anything you can use as a shield. If the area behind the shield is narrow, hug the walls as much as possible so you don't run into Mummy-Me. There are many coins in front of the moving ladder. Keep climbing up and down the ladder to avoid taking damage. If you do, pull the nearby plant a couple of times, then run away, then come back for the Mushroom. Mummy-Me will disappear when you start climbing the ladder to the Star. It will reappear when you land on Draggadon's nose, so don't dawdle in getting the Star.

While they break those bricks, grab Blue Toad. Spin the gear again so the Bullet Bills are aimed at the Flaptors flying near that same staircase. Once you defeat the Flaptors, aim the Bullet Bills away from the base. Walk down the stairs and spin the gear so you can walk up the other set of stairs. Drop down and you'll find Green Toad.

Both Toads will wave to each other and Blue Toad will start following you. Grab as many coins as you can, which includes defeating enemies. Go into the tunnels in the rock, using the left arch.

Stand in front of the pipe near the cloud to lure the Fire Piranhas into breathing fire into the pipe. This will destroy the spike balls inside. Go through the pipe for a Gold Mushroom. Up ahead is a large pipe with a pickax, some spike balls, and a warp box at one end. If you like, grab the pickax so you can destroy the spike balls and get more coins. Warp to the next area and hit the POW Block by touching the GamePad. You'll get a Mushroom from the item block above. There's a ramp leading up. Drop from it to get rid of the Piranha Plant in front of a pipe so you can get more coins and reach the top without dealing with more Piranha Plants. At the top is a chain of Fuzzies moving through the clear pipes. Use the clear pipes to carefully cross the gap so you can reach the clear pipe cannon.

The cannon will take you to an area with a few more Fuzzies and some clouds. Use the pipes to reach the moving clouds above, then go through the warp box. This will warp you higher up. There's a Fire Piranha in front of a clear pipe. Lure it into breathing fire into the pipe to clear out the spike balls, then go through the pipe for a 1-up. Slide down the hill with the many Piranha Plants down to a complex clear pipe network with Fuzzies. There's a Key Coin at the base. Pick it up, then go through the pipe with good timing. The other four Key Coins are at the top parts of the pipe network. With careful timing, move through the loops, going in the same direction the Fuzzies are.

Let Wingo move the large set of crates over the spikes so you can get the first gem through the gap in the crates. Run over the crates, get the coins, and launch from the clear pipe cannon.

You'll land near the Toad Brigade. Blue Toad has a Mushroom for you. Go up the ladder, where Wingo's waiting for you. There are a couple of turnips near the wall. There's a tall stack of crates with a ladder. Also in the area are three Piranha Sprouts and lots of coins.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 3-24. Trick-Track Hall

Toadette finds herself in an area with Spikes and movable platforms. There are two arrow platforms to the side of the Spike in front of you. Touch them to move them in the direction of the arrows. This will make a path so the spike ball the Spike throws will roll into the gate in front of you and destroy it. Just be sure you're not standing directly on the other side of the gate. Once that gate is broken, move both arrow platforms, then rotate the camera so you can see the touchstone platform underneath where the gate was. Touch it to lower it so the Spike can destroy it. Move the closer arrow platform in front of you, stand on it, then move it so you can drop down to the hall. If you go around the corner away from the Spike, you'll find some coins. Walk around the corner where the Spike is and you'll find a couple of Piranha Sprouts. Pick one of them and walk to the railing and toss it at the first gem. The lone plant has multiple coins. Walk into the nearby corner and you'll find a plant with a key. Stand on the platform one of the Piranha Sprouts was on and touch it to lower it. You'll find a locked door and a Piranha Sprout around the corner. The door leads to the second gem. Return and move the arrow platform closest to the Spike on the opposite side of the gap to break the gate. Lower the platform at the end, carefully cross the spikes, then raise the platform. Cross the arrow platforms, moving them as necessary. An arrow platform in the corner has a plant with a Mushroom. Go around the corner and move the corner arrow platform behind the Spike for the third gem. Go back a short distance and use the arrow platforms to reach the arrow platform in the center. Move that one and time your drop onto the spikes below, then drop down to the floor. Stand on the touchstone to reveal a hidden Gold Mushroom, then get the Star.

Special Challenge: Find the hidden Gold Mushroom.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 3-23. Color Crate Carousel

Toadette finds herself in the green square of a construction of hollow wooden boxes that forms somewhat of a "plus" sign shape. The Star is just ahead, but as soon as you move toward it, the carousel starts spinning. There are walkways on the outside of some of the boxes. When the green box is directly above the yellow box, drop down to its ledge and quickly run inside. When the yellow box is above the blue box, drop in and get the first gem. While in the blue box, rotate the camera around so you're looking at the back of the carousel. When the blue box is in the upper right corner, you can quickly run left and drop down into the green box for the second gem. You'll then just barely drop down to the red box when the carousel rotates again. There's a hole in the wall of the red box that allows you to reach the third gem in the center. You'll exit the same way. Be sure to stand away from the hole while the carousel continues to rotate. You may have noticed the Gold Mushroom in one of the boxes. From the red box, drop to the blue box, then leave the blue box to reach the outside of the center. Walk along in a clockwise direction as it rotates. You can touch the carousel to stop it from moving to make things easier. Grab the Gold Mushroom when it reaches the top, then wait for the box to reach the top again, then drop down into the green box from the front side. Wait until the green box is in the lower left corner to go for the Star.

Special Challenge: Collect the Gold Mushroom.
