Need help with Stage 13: Clear Pipe Puzzleplex in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker? Follow our step-by-step guide to collect all the gems and the Power Star!
Alright, let's tackle Stage 13: Clear Pipe Puzzleplex! This one's all about navigating a maze of pipes, and you'll need to be quick on your feet to snag all the goodies, especially that tricky Diamond #3. The main goal here is to collect 70 coins, but we're going to focus on getting those shiny Diamonds and the Power Star first.
- 1
Diamond #1: First things first, enter the pipe. Once you're through, turn right, then right again, and finally left. If you follow those turns, you should snag your first Diamond. If you're worried about Fuzzies, you can take a slight detour: at the second intersection, instead of turning right, head up to loop around. This gives you a bit more time before you make the left and left turns towards the Diamond.

Coins and Diamond #2: Now, turn left and head back towards the starting area. You'll want to loop around the circular path of pipes here to grab a bunch of coins. After that, head north from the left side of this area. Take a right turn, then a left (which will feel like going downwards), followed by a right. Now, turn left towards some coins, then right and right again. This sequence should lead you to a Pickax. Grab it! Once you have the Pickax, head straight north. This path will lead you to Diamond #2.

Diamond #3 (and a warning!): This Diamond is the trickiest, and you absolutely need that Pickax you just grabbed. From where you are, turn left. As you drop down the next pipe, immediately turn right. You're heading towards the area with spike traps guarding Diamond #3. If you have the Pickax, those spikes won't hurt you, and you can safely grab the gem. Warning: If you don't have the Pickax when you reach these spikes, you're in a bad spot and will likely need to restart the level. Don't risk it!

The Power Star and Gold Mushroom: After getting Diamond #3, turn right and loop around the pipes again. Take a left to head back towards the area where you found Diamond #1. Turn right at the next intersection, then take a left to go to the back of the level. Here, turn left to grab a Mushroom. Keep making left turns – specifically, two more left turns. Be careful of the Fuzzies that patrol this area as you make these turns. You should find yourself near the Power Star. But don't grab it just yet! Head forward into the other pipe nearby to find a Gold Mushroom. Once you have that, turn left and head back towards the location of Diamond #1. Follow the path from there to reach the Power Star and claim it!

Pixel Toad: For the Pixel Toad, make your way to the platform at the very back of the level. Look on its eastern side, and you should find the Pixel Toad hiding there.
- Pay close attention to the left and right turns; it's easy to get turned around in this pipe maze!
- The Pickax is essential for Diamond #3, so make sure you grab it before heading towards the spike traps.
- Don't grab the Power Star until you've gone through the other pipe to get the Gold Mushroom.
