Wingo

Wingo is the main antagonist in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. It is first seen stealing a Power Star from Captain Toad and Toadette. Wingo flies away while Toadette holds on to the star, thus capturing her. Its design is inspired from either crows or magpies, both species of birds which are stereotypically, yet incorrectly depicted as interested in shiny objects.

History
Wingo debuts in the opening level of Episode 1, where it ambushes the two Toads as they approach a Power Star, and after which claims it for his own. Captain Toad is stunned at the attack, while Toadette grabs on to the star in a last minute attempt to reclaim it. Wingo, however, makes off with the star, claiming 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 it abducts Captain Toad and drags him off to Wingo's Watchtower, where a battle soon begins. Wingo drops Captain Toad in front of the tower, urging him to climb it. As the Toad begins to do so, Wingo attempts to blow him off and into the abyss with its stellar windstorm attack. Eventually, Toad fires off to the top of the tower via a clear pipe cannon, and a battle begins which results in its defeat.

Wingo reappears at the start of Episode 2. Here, its acts the exact same way, only abducting Captain Toad for revenge, as Toadette is now to journey after him. Unlike in Episode 1, Wingo does not manually bring Toadette to his tower, but waits there for her to eventually arrive. Wingo is taken by surprise from Toadette; however, Wingo manages to abduct Toadette once again, as she manages to save Toad, knocking him far away.

Toad reawakens in Episode 3 in a very dark cave. Wingo taunts him with Toadette, and cruelly steals a star from beneath his eyes. However, Wingo's lust for treasure causes him to release Toadette to gather treasure for him, despite her escaping.

Wingo is pursued by the two Toads, both trying to find each other, to level 27, where he abducts Toadette for the third time, although Captain Toad witnesses this. He promptly sets off to the final level where he battles Wingo once more.

Boss fight
Wingo will be fought in the ending of each Episode, meaning it is fought three times. It first appears teleporting around the tower in four directions, using its windstorm attack to knock Toad off. However, the true boss fight starts when the Captain uses the nearby Clear Pipe Cannon to reach the gold hoard on top of the tower.

Wingo has two primary attacks, with the addition of a third in its rematch. It teleports around Captain Toad, using its windstorm attack, which Toad must either run against or hide behind the indentations that block the wind. Alternatively, Wingo summons three Giant Turnips that fall upon Toad.

Toad must defeat Wingo by throwing these large turnips back at it. After two hits, Toadette assists in the fight by throwing either a 1-Up Mushroom or a Super Mushroom depending on Toad's health. After the final hit, the Giant Turnip is lodged in Wingo's beak, forcing it to swallow the turnip whole. This results in a massive weight gain, and causes Wingo to fall out of the sky, although the repercussion knocks Toadette and the Power Star back on the platform.

A few changes are made in the remake. First of all, the indentations used to fend from the windstorm attack are destroyed, forcing Toad to run against the wind. Wingo also can use lightening based attacks now, electrocuting portions of the stage.
