Find all the secrets in Mushroom Mesa! This Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker guide shows you where to find all three Diamonds, the Pixel Toad, and the Power Star.

Alright, welcome to Mushroom Mesa! This stage is all about careful platforming and using those turnips to your advantage. We've got three Diamonds, a Pixel Toad, and the Power Star to snag. Let's get to it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1

    You'll start in an area with a Flaptack flying around. Head towards the corner and look for the first nook in the wall. The first Diamond is actually in the second nook. Head into the first nook, then turn right to grab Diamond #1.

  2. 2

    From where you found the first Diamond, continue left. You'll find a hidden area containing a Mushroom and some coins. Grab them, then exit the hidden area. Now, head to the elevator platform and use it to go up. You'll see two Shy Guys. Pick up a turnip from the ground and use it to defeat the first Shy Guy. Repeat this for the second one. Defeating both Shy Guys earns you Diamond #2.

  3. 3

    After getting the second Diamond, head down the stairs. You'll see some platforms you can manipulate. Your goal is to get to the top-left side where the Flaptack is. You'll need to use the platforms to reach it. Once you're up there, you can fake out the Flaptack to make it come down. Then, use a turnip from the ground to defeat it. The second leaf on the ground nearby has a 1UP, so grab that too!

  4. 4

    Now, get back onto the first two platforms. While you're on the second platform, you need to raise the third platform while simultaneously lowering the second one. This tricky maneuver will let you step into a hidden nook. Inside this nook, you'll find Diamond #3.

  5. 5

    Return to the top of the second platform. From there, drop down to the third platform. Raise the third platform to reach the Power Star!

Pixel Toad Location:

  • Head back to the alcove where you found the very first Diamond. You'll see some stacked coins there. The Pixel Toad is hidden right behind those coins.

Stamp: Defeat all the enemies!

  • To get the stamp, you need to defeat every enemy in the stage. The birds (Flaptacks) can be lured down and then hit with a turnip. The Shy Guys only need one turnip to be defeated. Make sure you get them all!
Tips
  • The Flaptack can be tricky, but luring it down and then hitting it with a turnip is the key.
  • Pay close attention to how the platforms move; timing is crucial for reaching the hidden areas and the Power Star.
