Guide Captain Toad through the Pickax Cave Plummet level! Find all three hidden Diamonds, grab the Power Star, and collect the Stamp without breaking any Rock Blocks.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start in the Pickax Cave Plummet. First things first, grab the Pickax right in front of you. Head into the body of water located in the bottom-right corner of the area. Break the single brick you see there to reveal Diamond #1.
- 2After grabbing the diamond, pull the lever at the bottom of the water. This will cause the platform to rise to the top. Before re-surfacing, make sure to grab the mountain of coins that appears.
- 3Once you're back on dry land, head to the bottom-left corner of the level. You'll find a leaf here; grab it to get another Pickax. Now, drop down into the area below and use your Pickax to destroy the bricks. Don't worry about running out of time, as there are Pickax refills scattered throughout the level.
- 4Continue heading towards the bottom of the level. When you reach the very bottom, you'll encounter a couple of Mud Troopers. Destroy them, then turn the corner. You'll see a stairway; climb it.
- 5At the top of the stairway, you'll find a Mushroom. Grab it, then use a turnip to defeat the Mud Trooper waiting at the very top.
- 6Continue onward and climb another stairway. Be cautious of any Mud Troopers that might appear as you ascend.
- 7After turning another corner, you'll find another Pickax. Use this Pickax to break through all the gray blocks blocking your path until you reach the bottom. Once you're at the bottom, destroy the bricks guarding the alcove to the left of the Star to find Diamond #3.
- 8Now, destroy the bricks guarding the other alcove to get a Golden Mushroom. Finally, make your way to the Power Star and collect it to complete the level!
Tips
- Stamp: The Stamp for this level requires you not to break any Rock Blocks. You can still break the gray bricks that guard items and the Star.
- Super Pickax: If you're finding it tricky to navigate around the gray bricks, remember that you can often weave your way beside, around, or behind them without needing the Pickax at all. This is especially useful for getting the Stamp!
