Wingo

Wingo is a giant crow-like creature that serves as the main antagonist of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. He is known to steal items that interest him and then defend them with his magic powers. This lead him to steal Power Stars, accidentally kidnapping Toadette and Captain Toad when they try to hold it down.

History
Wingo first appears in the first level of Episode 1, where he ambushes Captain Toad and Toadette as they approach a Power Star. Captain Toad is stunned at the attack, while Toadette grabs on to the star to attempt to reclaim it before being taken away by the giant bird.

Wingo then makes a few appearance in images depicting Captain Toad's journey before reappearing at the end of Blizzard on the Star Express where he abducts Captain Toad and drags him off to his watchtower. During the level, Wingo will teleports around the stage and flaps his wings to create gusts of wind with the intent of blowing Captain Toad off the stage.Once reaching the top of the tower, the real battle against Wingo starts. During this battle, Wingo 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 damaged by throwing the giant turnips at him, and once he is hit three times, he is defeated.

Wingo reappears at the start of Episode 2. He once again steals a Power Star from the duo of Toad, but this time he abducts Captain Toad instead of Toadette. Toadette eventually arrive to his tower, and at the end of the stage rescues Captain Toad, but Wingo comes back and abducts her a second time, blowing Captain Toad off the tower.

At the beginning of Episode 3, Captain Toad finds another Power Star, only for Wingo to be drawn to it and steal it once again droping Toadette in the process. Wingo appears again at the end of Scalding Scaffold Sinkhole, where he captures Toadette for a third time and brings her to his tower once again. Captain Toad follows Wingo to his tower almost immediatly where he behaves like he does during his first battle, he is now capable of summoning lightning.

He makes one last appearance during the credits where he is still fat after having been force-feeded giant turnips.
