Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Episode 3 Bonus Challenge solutions

NumberLevelBonus ChallengeSolution / Tips
3-01Rolling InfernoCollect 75 CoinsSimple enough, just don't rush it!
3-02Seesaw SizzleDon't defeat any SpikesThis means you can't use the ramps as catapults. Instead, wait for a Spike to drop the ball and then as soon as it's clear, make a dash for the ladder on the far side of the ramp you're on. You'll take damage the first two times (there's a Red Mushroom between the two); at the third, rush as fast as possible up the ladder and go hard right at the top of it to dodge the Spike and reach the star!
3-03Beep Block Sky PlazaDon't take any damageEasy enough, you're most vulnerable when waiting for the long strip of blue blocks to appear in the middle of the course - keep moving while you wait!
3-04Pickaxe Cave PlummetDon't break any blocksIgnore all the pickaxes along the way and it's easy enough to drop all the way down the course.
3-05Stumpy Springs SanctuaryGold MushroomSee below
3-06Biddybud Snow StrollDon't break any tilesTough but doable. Follow the Biddybuds as far as the second patch of two pluck patches, then wait there for them to turn back, whilst memorising where they went up ahead. Follow their route all the way to the open square near your start position and drop down next to the star.
3-07Cagey Conkdor CaperGold MushroomSee below
3-08Up 'n' Down DesertOnly use the switches 8 timesThe toughest part is the final area with 3 P buttons and a Piranha Sprout.
3-09Mine Cart Ruins RumbleGot the 1-Up MushroomAfter the big drop, look up to your right to the row of blocks with a POW block in the middle - shoot that, and then quickly shoot the green 1-Up Mushroom that pops out!
3-10Multi-Vator MayhemClear course with 5 ToadsFirst four cherries are fairly obvious, the final one is on the grassy ledge near the starting position, where you drop down for Gem 3 from the very top of the level.
3-11Flip Panel FootpathCollect 45 CoinsThe main missable coins are those inside the lower tower, and the hidden ones around the top ledge of the final tower.
3-12Rock Block BadlandsClear the course in 10 shots or fewerOnce you've cleared this once it's easy to figure out what needs destroying in order to progress, just focus on hitting the joins between blocks in order to destroy multiple ones at a time.
3-13Secret of the Golden RealmClear the course in 10 touchesPrepare the touches for the bottom level before moving so you have time to line them up as efficiently as possible, and you should be fine!
3-14Shy Guy Shadow DenDon't get seen by any Shy GuysSame as the previous version of this challenge, just be patient and treat it like a stealth level!
3-15Razzle-Dazzle SliderDon't fall into any holesYou can't get this one at the same time as getting the gems, so do it in a separate run and it's just about your own ability to control Toad!
3-16Poison Canal Cannon RunClear the course with 4 ToadettesThe main missable cherries are in the two areas over in the opposite, back-right corner from your start position.
3-17Fright Train FlightDefeat all the Mud TroopersTo do this, don't disconnect the train carts and instead bait the Chargin' Chuck onto all three carts to wipe out all the troopers, and use the birds for the rest!
3-18No Sleep at Kamek KeepCollect 190 CoinsDon't forget the big stack on ground level around the back!
3-19Retro Ramp-UpSmash all the blocksThis one just requires quick fingers and planning for when you pick up the pickaxes.
3-20Twisty-Turny Planet Gold MushroomSee below
3-21Ghost Gallery GambitGold MushroomSee below
3-22Touchstone TurmoilClear the course in 6 touchesTap yellow, walk to blue. Walk into the hole in the yellow wall, tap yellow. Come out and go up the blue ramp, tap blue. Cross to yellow, tap it up to three times as you dodge the para-biddybuds.
3-23Colour Crate CarouselGold MushroomSee below
3-24Trick Track HallGold MushroomSee below
3-25Deep Space GyromajigDon't take any damageSimple enough!
3-26Magma Road MarathonCollect 150 CoinsTwo things to bear in mind: make sure you take all the detours possible, especially the one to the glass cannon on your left; also, if you're going too fast try running into a wall for a bit until the speed boost wears off.
3-27Scalding Scaffold SinkholeCollect 200 CoinsSurprisingly doable, just be quick!
3-28Wingo's WhackdownCollect 220 CoinsThis one actually relies on you finding two Gold Mushrooms, worth 50 coins each - see below for more!
