Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is all about collectables. You collect gems, stars, and coins throughout your adventure to allow you to progress through the game.
One of these collectables are Pixel Toads, small little toads that hide somewhere on each level for you to find. By finding them all in a single episode, you unlock a special Pixel Toad badge at the front of your book.
To get the Pixel Toad in each level, all you need to do is find him and touch him on the Nintendo Switch system. He’ll then be collected and you can move onto the next one.
To help you out in your search, we’ve found all of the toads in Episode One of the game and highlighted them in the screengrabs below with a blue marker.
