'''Wingo''' is the main antagonist in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. According to game director Shinya Hiratake, Wingo was based upon both crows, a species of bird stereotypically and incorrectly depicted as interested in shiny objects, and the giant bird Roc from ''[[wikipedia:One Thousand and One Nights|One Thousand and One Nights]]'' (more popularly known as ''Arabian Nights'')<ref name="Miiverse">[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/replies/AYMHAAACAAADVHivKowdGg (translated) Miiverse post from Hiratake] (February 16, 2015): ''"Well, this is how Wingo was created. Adventures involve treasure, so we started off thinking that we needed a creature that gets in the way of him collecting it! We thought, {{'}}How about a crow? They like to collect shiny things!{{'}} and from there, we fused that idea with the image of the giant bird Roc that appears in the Arabian Nights! Actually, the design of the feather on his head was inspired by an item in Super Mario World!"'' Retrived February 16, 2015.</ref>. He 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.

==Trivia==
*The feather on Wingo's turban is based on the [[Cape Feather]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''<ref name="Miiverse"></ref>.
*Wingo has some similarities to the Helmaroc King from ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD]]''. Both are avian villains, have a wind ability by using their wings, kidnap a female involved with the story (Aryll/Toadette), are rescued by one close to them (Link/Captain Toad) and are in the end defeated.
*Wingo's name is also the same as one of the [https://pixarcars.fandom.com/wiki/Wingo villains] of Pixar film ''[[wikipedia:Cars (film)|Cars]]''.
