Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 3-1. Rolling Inferno

Captain Toad is searching for Toadette. He fell asleep in a cave. There's a nearby hidden plant with many coins. Climb the ladder and walk to the Star. Feathers appear and Wingo takes the Star, with Toadette.

This level has many rolling areas over lava as well as Blaargs that periodically jump out of the lava. Cross over the green roll to a grate, then over a thin green roll to an area with some coins. Use the large green roll to drop down to a fan. Walk under another large green roll to the first gem. Use the fan to reach a higher level. Go across the three green rolls to reach the second gem. From the middle green row of the set, drop down onto the fan and use it to reach a lower platform with the third gem. It's towards the back, past a grate that a Blaarg goes through. Use the fan to reach the grate near the Star, then get the Star.

Special Challenge: Collect 75 coins.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-18. Battle Tower Blitz

You need 75 gems to unlock this level. I have 105.

Toadette finds herself on a tower with only a clear pipe. Launch to another tower with Fire Bros and shields that are touchstones. The plants contain turnips you can throw at the lower Fire Bros. Hit the one not on the stairs and walk up the nearby ladder. Step on the P-Switch to reveal a clear pipe near where the Fire Bro was. Rotate the camera around to the back so you can see where the first gem is in the clear pipe. Exit the pipe at the top of the stairs and you'll stomp a Fire Bro. Go down the stairs to stomp the rest. Once you defeat all of them, a bridge will drop so you can cross to the tower with the clear pipe. Be sure to collect as many coins as you can while you're going through the course and try not to die.

The clear pipe cannon will launch you to a tower with Magikoopas. There's a turnip plant in the center that will give you unlimited turnips. Toss them into the pipes at the lowest level and they'll cross to the other side to hit the Magikoopas. For example, if a Magikoopa is on the left side of the tower, in front of the right clear pipe on the left side of the tower, throw the turnip into the lower left pipe. Clear the two Magikoopas out and the bridge to the next clear pipe cannon will drop. You'll land in an area with the Toad Brigade. Approach Blue Toad for a Mushroom. There's also a ladder that leads below the floor, where the second gem is.

Launch from the clear pipe cannon and climb the tall ladder. You'll see Captain Toad and the Star, as well as Goomba Stacks and Hammer Bros. Carefully make your way past them towards the center while avoiding the purple water, where there's a handle. Pull it and it becomes a turnip cannon. Use the turnips to defeat all enemies and clear out all of the bricks. You'll find the third gem in one of the corners. Be sure to defeat the enemies on Captain Toad's side. Once all of the enemies have been defeated, the bridge will drop. Grab the Star and Wingo will pick up Toadette with his beak and blow Captain Toad away by flapping his wings. He falls off the tower. This concludes Episode 2 and Episode 3 is now open.

Special Challenge: Collect 170 coins.
You'll need to collect the vast majority of coins on this level without dying. If you do die, there's a checkpoint when you reach the Toad Brigade, so you'll have to start over.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-17. Spinwheel Sky Fort

Toadette is on a fort that can be rotated around. There are green and orange sides. You will start on the green side. Homing Bullet Bills will fire at you. Walk around to the other side of the green side. Cross to the orange side and hit the POW Block for the first gem. Walk back towards the center and rotate the gear to rotate the orange side of the fort. Rotate it so you get the flat area with two Piranha Plants and a Bill Blaster. Go past the Bill Blaster and you'll find another gear that rotates the green side. Rotate the gear until you see a gem and two Bill Blasters. Walk past the Bill Blasters for the second gem. Walk back to the green gear and rotate it so you can reach both gears with it. Rotate the orange gear so that you can see the Star, but can't reach it. Walk to the other side, with the red Bill Blaster and pick the plant for the third gem. Go back to the orange gear and rotate it so that the three Piranha Plants and the Star are facing up and, but you can't walk from the orange gear to the orange side. Walk on the green side, then go to the orange side to get the Star.

Special Challenge: Do not take damage.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-16. Bullet Bill's Touchy Trials

Toadette finds herself on a Bullet Bill base in lava that contains touchstones. Duck into the nearby alcove and touch the touchstone with the nearby Bill Blasters so they can break the bricks ahead. Raise them and move forward. The lone plant ahead has the first gem. Walk around the corner and step on the touchstone with the Bill Blasters. Touch them to move them so you can reach the other side and the Bullet Bills can break the bricks. Step back onto the base, move the Bill Blasters away, then lower the touchstone in front of them so the Bullet Bills can break the bricks on it. Stand on that touchstone and raise it. Walk under the Star and turn the corner. Walk into the doorway ahead, then touch the touchstone. The second gem is inside the touchstone. Lower it, touch the touchstone with a Bill Blaster near the Star, which will break a brick, stand on the touchstone that contained the second gem and raise it after raising the touchstone with the Bill Blaster. Go through the doorway and look to the left. There's a hidden Gold Mushroom here. Walk to the right and up the ladder after destroying the bricks with the Bullet Bills on the other side. Cross to the other side of the walkway, moving touchstones with Bill Blasters out of the way. Drop down on the other side and climb the ladder on the touchstone. Move the two touchstones below to form a safety net over the lava and drop down. Move the touchstone under the Bill Blaster back to reach the third gem. Stand on the touchstone and move it back, transfer to the other touchstone, and move it. Climb onto the ladder and raise the touchstone with the Bill Blaster. Quickly cross the Bullet Bills' path to another touchstone with the ladder and raise it to the Star.

Special Challenge: Find the hidden Gold Mushroom.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-15. Double Cherry Spires

Toadette finds herself at a palace. There are four short towers near the corners, each with a different color lamp. The tower with the yellow lamp, in the northeast corner, has a Gold Mushroom. Go upstairs in the center tower to get the Double Cherry. Walk forward and split up the clones to land on two P-Switches. This raises the towers and fences between the Toadettes. Send the Toadette on the right to the yellow lamp's tower. Climb up the ladder, then drop down to the P-Switch. This will make the tower on the opposite side, the green lamp's tower, rise and fall. Send the left Toadette into this tower and have her step on the P-Switch on that side. This will raise the tower in front of it, the blue lamp's tower. Under it is a plant with the first gem. Use the green lamp tower to reach the floating carpet to the blue lamp tower. Pick a turnip from the blue lamp tower and carry it to the center tower. Toss it at the second gem. There are unlimited turnips in the blue lamp tower, so it's okay if you miss. Step on the P-Switch in the center tower to raise the pink lamp tower so it connects on the third level of the center tower. Send the Toadette on the right under that tower for a key. Toss it over the fence and unlock the door for the third gem. Climb the ladder on the pink lamp tower and cross to the center tower. Step on the P-Switch, which makes the barrier on the second level of the center tower disappear. Have both Toadettes stand on the two-person elevator, which will take them to the Star.

Special Challenge: Collect the Gold Mushroom.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-14. Midnight in the Wandering Woods

Toadette is in a dark forest with Stumpers. Use the alcove to pass the first set of Stumpers. Climb the ladder and cross using the Stumpers, to where the first gem is in between some fences. Walk up the nearby ramp and use the Stumpers passing the alcove to reach a lone plant. The plant contains a key. Pick up the key and toss it over the fence, then climb the ladder and get over the fence using the Stumpers. There's a ring of Peepas and two sets of tall Stumpers guarding a ladder. Nearby is a locked door. Go through it and you'll find Stumpers walking in purple water. Use them to cross the purple water to a purple pipe. The pipe leads to you to some moving plants, one of which has the second gem. Return and go up the ladder guarded by the Stumpers. Walk up the ramp to the right and cross both sets of Stumpers to the rocks on the left, where you'll find a hidden Gold Mushroom. There are three sets of Stumpers walking around the Star. Hide in the alcove, then get on the other side of them. Walk towards the Star while on the ground and you'll find the third gem under the Star. Walk up the ladder and cross the Stumpers to the Star.

Special Challenge: Find the hidden Gold Mushroom.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker -- Episode 2-13. Clear Pipe Puzzleplex

This is a pretty complicated clear pipe maze. When you come to a junction, signal with the joystick where you want to go in advance so it will register. First, go through the front loops a couple of times to get the invisible coins. Go to the right, then up to get the first gem. You may need to wait so you can avoid the Fuzzies in the loop as well. You'll want to head left, then down to get to the left side. The second gem is in a loop with some Fuzzies. Do not use the nearby pickax to defeat them. Instead, once you get the second gem, grab the pickax and head left, up, and right to get the third gem surrounded by spike balls. Head to the right, then to the back of the maze. There will be two sets of Fuzzies looping around back there. Use the empty loop to wait until you get a favorable time to enter the loops with the Fuzzies. Exit to the right and you'll find the Star. Go past it and enter the pipe on the other side to reach the Gold Mushroom, then make your way back to the Star.

Special Challenge: Collect 70 coins.
You'll need to collect all of the coins, including the Gold Mushroom to complete the challenge.
