Your expert guide to Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker's STAGE 11: WINDUP STAIRS! Find all the Diamonds, the Golden Mushroom, and the Power Star with these easy steps.

Alright, let's tackle STAGE 11: WINDUP STAIRS! This one's all about careful movement and keeping an eye out for secrets. The main goal here is to grab the Golden Mushroom, but we'll also snag all the Diamonds and the Power Star along the way.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll need to make your way towards the "stairs" area. Keep your wits about you and avoid those rolling spikes as you go.
  2. 2
    Once you're actually on the stairs, take a moment to spin the camera around. You're looking for a hidden alcove tucked away in the wall. This is where you'll find Diamond #1.
  3. 3
    Head back to the front of the stage and get off at the second level. Now, hop onto the moving "stairs" that are off to the left. Again, use your camera to scout around – you're looking for the spot where Diamond #2 is hidden.
  4. 4
    Next, make your way to the right-hand side of the stairs. In the intersection, you'll find an alcove. Turn left into this hidden alcove on the second level to grab Diamond #3.
  5. 5
    With the diamonds collected, turn your camera and carefully weave your way around the back of the stairs. Follow the path, and when you reach the same level as the Spike enemy, you'll want to avoid him. Turn left into a small alleyway – a hidden Golden Mushroom is waiting for you there!
  6. 6
    Finally, it's time for the Power Star. Climb up to the highest level of the windup stairs. Keep an eye on the Spike enemy. When he's not in the middle of dropping spikes, carefully drop down onto his head to defeat him. This will give you access to the Power Star.
  7. 7
    Oh, and don't forget Pixel Toad! Turn the camera to get a view of the stage from the east (the right side). Look under the upper doorway – you should spot the Pixel Toad hiding there.
Tips
  • The rolling spikes can be tricky, so take your time and don't rush your movements.
  • Make sure to use the camera frequently; many secrets are hidden just out of view.
  • The Spike on the top level can be a bit of a pain, but waiting for the right moment to jump on his head is key.
