Wingo is the main antagonist and final boss of the 2015 game Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. He is a massive magical crow with a white turban, red eyelashes and pupils, and a Power Star necklace. He is based upon both crows, a species of bird stereo-typically and incorrectly depicted as interested in shiny objects, and the giant bird Roc from One Thousand & One Nights (more popularly know as Arabian Nights).

History

After Captain Toad and Toadette grab a power star, they notice feathers falling from the sky. Wingo appears and grabs the star, knocking Captain Toad over in the proceess. Toadette attempts to retrieve it, but is grabbed too. Wingo makes off with both the star and Toadette, leaving Captain Toad on his own.

Once Captain Toad reaches Wingo's fortress, he fights against Wingo. Captain Toad eventually defeats Wingo by shoving a turnip down his troat, fattening Wingo and he falls from his tower to his apparent death. Toadette is rescued and they happily continue treasure hunting. However, Wingo is revealed to be alive, returning to steal their treasure again and ends up capturing Captain Toad instead. After another long journey, Toadette saves him, although immediately afterward Wingo reappears, captures Toadette again and blows Captain Toad away.

The Captain awakes in a dark cave, where he finds another Power Star snatched away by Wingo. Meanwhile, Toadette escapes Wingo and goes off to reunite with Captain Toad, though she is captured again soon after. Wingo then takes her to the same tower, while Captain Toad arrives. After a final fight, Wingo is truly defeated, and falls from his tower again, this time presumably killing him for good.

Strategy

Each battle of Wingo follows the same routine; he magically teleports around his tower in a clockwise formation, flapping his wings to create gusts of strong winds to push Captain Toad off the tower. Turnips can be picked up to cancel the wind action. Carefully move Captain Toad up the tower, and take shelter behind a tall platform when Wingo flaps his wings. Once Toad makes it to the top of the tower, phase two begins. Wingo still is able to flap his wings, but the winds are not strong enough to push Captain Toad off. Occasionally, he will let out a squawk, and magically spawns giant turnips to crush Captain Toad. The turnips that miss will get stuck into the ground, allowing Captain Toad to pluck them and throw them back at Wingo. The difference between the first and second battle is the appearance of lightning in the second battle that will strike the arena, creating small electrical circles in the area they striked and will vanish after a few seconds. Also, lightning will take out the barriers on the tower before the fight, preventing them from saving Captain Toad from falling off the tower. After three hits from the turnips, the greedy pest is defeated.

Trivia

• The feather on Wingo's turban is based on the Cape Feather from Super Mario World.
