Wingo first appears in the opening level of Episode 1, where he ambushes the two Toads as they approach a [[Power Star]], and after which claims it for himself. [[Captain Toad]] is stunned at the attack, while Toadette grabs on to the star to attempt to reclaim it. Wingo, however, makes off with the star, kidnapping Toadette in the process. | Wingo first appears in the opening level of Episode 1, where he ambushes the two Toads as they approach a [[Power Star]], and after which claims it for himself.

Wingo does not reappear until the end of [[Blizzard on the Star Express]] (save for a few cameos in interstitial stages). Here he abducts Captain Toad and drags him off to [[Wingo's Watchtower]], dropping him in front of the tower at the beginning of the stage. During the level, Wingo teleports around the stage and flaps his wings to create gusts of wind to blow Toad off the stage. Captain Toad can, however, stun him for a few moments by throwing [[turnip]]s at him. At the end of the stage, Captain Toad fires off to the top of the tower via a [[Clear Pipe]] cannon, and battles Wingo there. During this battle, Wingo once again teleports around, attacking by blowing gusts of wind and summoning giant turnips that fall from above and can damage Captain Toad if they hit him. Wingo can be attacked by throwing the giant turnips at him, and once he is hit three times, he swallows the last turnip, falls out of the sky, and is defeated. | Wingo does not reappear until the end of [[Blizzard on the Star Express]] (save for a few cameos in interstitial stages).

According to game director Shinya Hiratake, Wingo was based upon both crows, a species of bird stereotypically and incorrectly depicted as interested in shiny objects, and the giant bird {{wp|Roc (mythology)|Roc}} from ''[[wikipedia:One Thousand and One Nights|One Thousand and One Nights]]'' (more popularly known as ''Arabian Nights'').<ref name="Miiverse">[http://web.archive.org/web/20160428003856/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHivKowdGg (translated) Miiverse post from Hiratake] (February 16, 2015): ''"Well, this is how Wingo was created. Adventures involve treasure, so we started off thinking that we needed a creature that gets in the way of him collecting it! We thought, {{'}}How about a crow?

His head also features a yellow beak and red eyes with a red crest on the external side, although in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' his eyes are rather blue with a slight hint of purple on the upper half of the irises. The feathers that form the denser part of his plumage have white extremities that, on the front, form a continuous line spanning both wings and the breast. He also wears golden bracelets on his legs, a golden necklace with a [[Power Star]] around his neck, and a turban on his head, with a light-blue gem and a feather based on the [[Cape Feather]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.<ref name="Miiverse"/> | ||

*Although he does not appear himself, Wingo is referenced by Captain Toad in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. When [[Mario]] finds Captain Toad in the [[Lost Kingdom]], Captain Toad says "How'd I get here? I was dropped by a [[Klepto|giant bird]] -- a different giant bird than my usual one!" | |||
