Pluck Patches[1] are patches that appear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports. They each resemble a ? Block containing a small tuft of grass and resemble the grass tufts of Super Mario Bros. 2. The player can press A Button while Captain Toad or Toadette is near a Pluck Patch to pull and grab it out of the ground. Pluck Patches may contain coins, power-ups, Super Gems, or Turnips; in the latter two cases, Pluck Patches must be pulled multiple times before they can be removed. Some Pluck Patches have several coins, which can be obtained by plucking repeatedly, similar to a Coin Block. Some Pluck Patches provide an endless supply of Turnips, and the sprout goes into the ground until the player throws the Turnip they plucked. There are Pluck Patches with Gold Mushrooms, which are normally invisible but become visible when Captain Toad either stands over them or shines his headlamp on them; such Pluck Patches become brown once they are removed, resembling Empty Blocks. If Captain Toad loses enough lives in a level, an Assist Pluck Patch with an Invincibility Mushroom appears.
