Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker ‘Plucky Pass Beginnings’ (Episode 1-1) Nintendo

“Plucky Pass Beginnings” is the first level of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker’s first episode. Every level has three Super Gems and one Power Star. Each also has a Bonus Challenge to complete.

It’s possible to complete this Bonus Challenge while collecting the Super Gems in “Plucky Pass Beginnings.” Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to help you collect everything. You can follow along step-by-step from the beginning, or our helpful section titles and images will let you jump straight to any area you’re struggling with.

Super Gem 1
