Navigate the tricky Ghost Gallery Gambit in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker! Find all the hidden Diamonds and the Golden Mushroom with this step-by-step guide.
This stage is a real head-scratcher, and honestly, it took me ages to figure out! It messes with you right from the start, making you think grabbing the Star is as simple as in Walleye Tumble Temple. You'll run for it, get close, but nope, not quite there yet. But don't worry, we'll get through this together!
Walkthrough
- 1The Start: You begin the stage. It looks like a straightforward path to the Star, but it's a bit of a trap.
- 2Diamond #1: Head to the western corner of the stage. Follow the path where blocks are falling. You'll encounter a pair of Boos trying to corner you. Shine your light on the Boo in front of you to scare it off and find a moment to slip past safely. Continue on until you reach the first seesaw platform. Just walk across it normally, and you should find Diamond #1 without any trouble.
- 3Diamond #2: Keep moving forward and follow the path until you reach the next seesaw platform. Cross it to the other side. Now, here's the tricky part: don't go straight ahead. Instead, keep an eye on the side you just came from. When blocks start falling on the original path you took, quickly cross back over the seesaw. Follow this newly revealed path, and you'll find Diamond #2. Once you have it, continue until this path merges back with the main route.
- 4Diamond #3: When the path rejoins the main one, do a U-turn. You'll need to deal with some Peepas – either kill them or avoid them. Then, position yourself on the far side of the next seesaw platform. Wait for it to rise up as high as it can. As soon as it's raised, dash across to grab Diamond #3 before it lowers again.
- 5The Golden Mushroom: After collecting Diamond #3, continue following the main path. You'll encounter a pair of Big Boos that spawn as you get closer to the Star. Make sure to defeat the smaller Boos first before taking on the big one. Once both Big Boos are gone, you should be able to turn right towards the Star. But hold on! Before you grab it, head forward towards what looks like an empty dead end. Use your headlamp (that's your light!) to reveal a hidden, invisible leaf. This is where you'll find the Golden Mushroom.
- 6The Star: With all the collectibles secured, you can now go and grab the Star.
Tips
- The Boos can be a bit intimidating, but shining your light directly at them is key to making them back off or disappear temporarily.
- Don't rush the seesaw platforms, especially when trying to get the diamonds. Timing is important, but take a breath and line up your movement.
- Remember to use your headlamp frequently, especially in dead-end areas, as it reveals hidden items like the Golden Mushroom.
