Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-12. Up 'n' Down Terrace

Toadette starts on the third floor of a gazebo. The Star is on the second floor, but there's no direct way to reach the second floor. Drop down from any side to the terrace, where you'll find white and brown fences, as well as those Piranha Sprouts, that spit rocks at you. The fences will form a maze with the hedges and allow you to reach some places. Hitting the P-Switch will determine whether the white or brown fences are up. If you climb the ladder onto one of the hedges, you'll find the second gem. The first gem is in one of the corners. The third gem is in a gap between two hedges. Pick up a Piranha Sprout on a hedge and carry it, then toss it at the gem to get it. There's a door at the front of the gazebo. With the brown hedges up, walk across the hedge in front of the door and hit the P-Switch nearby to raise the white fences. When the white fences raised, the door to the gazebo opens. Drop down between the two white fences near the door and walk through the door, then go up the ladder to the Star.

Special Challenge: Clear the course using switches three times.
To do this, hit the P-Switch to raise the white fences. While on the ground, go near the gazebo's door and hit the P-Switch in the corner to raise the brown fences.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- 5. Double Cherry Palace

Captain Toad starts off at near some palace gardens. There's a Double Cherry to the left. With it, Captain Toad gains a clone. Move them towards the P-Switches to split them up. This makes a wall to the gardens drop so they can go explore. Use the hedges to split them up. There's a creature wandering around underground with a plant-like structure on its head. Corner it or stun it with a turnip, then pull on the plant to pull it out of the ground. It will give you the first gem. Be sure to pull all of the plants. Keep the clone separated from Captain Toad and carefully navigate the hedge maze so they can hit the P-Switches on either side. This will make walls appear that divide the hedge maze in half and drop down the walls in the back. Move towards the back and drop down. They'll enter a 2D area with P-Switches and Shy Guys. Alternate hitting switches, which will allow them to drop down and stomp the Shy Guys. The coins will trigger the appearance of more coins. On the left side is a doorway that doesn't exist on the right. Go through it to find the second gem. A little lower, you'll find two doorways. Go through both and you'll find another plant creature. Pull the plant for third gem. Walk back through the doorway so that one of the Captain Toads steps on the P-Switch. This will allow them to reach the bottom of the palace. Have them step on the P-Switches at the bottom, which will remove the wall between them so they can join up. Grab the coins on the way out to an elevator that requires two people to activate. This will take you to the Star. You'll get 10 coins for getting the Star with the clone.

Special Challenge: Collect 70 coins.
You must collect every single coin, from the coins you get from the clone, plus coin plants, plus turnips.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- 4. Mushroom Mesa

There are Shy Guys and Flaptors, birds who'll fly around and dive-bomb if Captain Toad gets too close, here. Walk down the ramp and you'll see a couple of holes in the side of the hill. Go through the left one for the first gem, as well as coins and a Mushroom. Stand inside the touchstone and touch it to raise it. Walk up the ramp to the level of the Shy Guys. Kill them all with turnips for the second gem. Drop down the ladder by the Flaptor for a 1-up. Walk around and you'll find more touchstones. Touch the third one to drop it so you can reach the third gem under the grass. Stand on the fourth touchstone's ramp and touch it to raise it to the level of the Star.

Special Challenge: Defeat all enemies.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- 3. Touchstone Trouble

Captain Toad finds himself on some touchstones, platforms that move when you touch them on the GamePad. There's a pink one and a blue one. You'll start on the blue platform. Touch it to raise it and drop down onto the pink touchstone and touch it to make it slide over, revealing a doorway to the first gem. Go back through the doorway and touch the blue touchstone to make it lower. Cross over to the blue touchstone on the other side of the wall. Move the pink touchstone so you can enter the doorway. Ignore the plant for now. Touch the blue touchstone and leave the doorway. You'll be on a lower level of the blue touchstone, where the second gem is. Move the touchstones back so you can reach the plant. Pick it to get a key. Move the pink touchstone so you can reach the ramp leading to the blue touchstone. Drop down there and move under the Star to find a locked door. Use the key to unlock it to find the third gem. Walk back up the ramp and go to where the plant was, move the blue touchstone so that the area where the plant was is level with the top of the pink touchstone. Cross over from the blue touchstone to the pink touchstone, then touch the blue touchstone to form a ramp to the Star.

Special Challenge: Clear the stage in three touches.
To do so, you will not be able to collect the gems. Raise the blue touchstone and cross to the pink touchstone on a diagonal. Lower the blue touchstone, then shift the pink touchstone to form the ramp to the Star.
