Wingo is the main antagonist in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports. He is a gigantic bird with a penchant for stealing treasure from others. He is first seen stealing a Power Star from Captain Toad and Toadette, and flies away with Toadette grabbing the star, thus capturing her.
History[edit]
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 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 turnips 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.

At the end of the stage, Toadette rescues Captain Toad, though Wingo then appears and abducts Toadette once again, blowing Captain Toad off the tower.

General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
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 Roc from One Thousand and One Nights (more popularly known as Arabian Nights).[1] He has black feathers and orange anisodactyl feet with black talons. His head also features a yellow beak and red crests on the external sides of his eyes. By default, his eyes are blue with a slight hint of purple on the upper half of the irises, but they are often seen glowing in other colors at various points, such as when he is attacking. In his official art, his eyes are red. 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.[1]
