Follow our step-by-step walkthrough for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker's Walleye Tumble Temple, including Diamond locations and strategies to beat the Walleye.
Walkthrough
- 1When you start, don't go straight for the bridge! Instead, drop down to the side. You'll see a ramp leading up to a tunnel. Wait for the big Walleye fish to swim away, then quickly dash into the tunnel.
- 2Once inside, head for the first wooden bridge platform. You'll need to wait for it to rotate into position before you can safely walk across to grab the first Diamond.
- 3After getting the Diamond, carefully walk across the bridge. You'll see a leaf; pluck it to get a Mushroom. Keep going into the cave.
- 4As you enter the rotating platform area, don't leave immediately! Instead, aim for the other side of the cave. There's a secret area waiting for you. Pluck the leaf in this secret spot to find the second Diamond.
- 5Now, exit the cave and head back up the stairs. Go back into the caves. You can find a hidden nook in the wall full of coins, but if you're just after the main collectibles, continue towards the corridor leading to the rotating gear at the far end.
- 6Before you reach the gear, you'll encounter another Walleye. Grab a turnip from the nearby patch. Pluck it and throw it at the Walleye to stun it. While it's stunned, quickly grab the third Diamond. If you're struggling to get past, you can also hold the turnip with the GamePad's touch screen to keep the Walleye dazed.
- 7After stunning the second Walleye, you can walk past it. The Power Star is now within reach at the end of the stage!
Tips
- Pixel Toad: At the very start of the level, turn the camera completely around (180 degrees). Wait for the rotating block in the top-right to spin into this specific position: /| |¯\ |\|_/. This will reveal the hidden Pixel Toad.
- Bridge Destruction: The main bridge looks like the obvious path, but it's a trap! It's designed to break, so always look for alternative routes like dropping down or using side paths.
- Walleye Timing: The Walleye is a major obstacle. Pay close attention to its movement patterns and use the turnips strategically to stun it, giving you a safe window to pass.
