This guide follows the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 remake. Routes were checked against edition-specific walkthroughs and Nintendo documentation. We have not personally completed a console playthrough.

The N64 guide and its saved progress remain separate. Checklist totals measure this guide, not the game's completion percentage. New features are documented where the available evidence supports them.

Nintendo update notes: version 1.1.1 ↗

Changes to keep in mind

  • The remake supports microphone input as well as buttons.
  • Use the in-game staff for the current controller prompts. The Scarecrow Song is your own tune, separate from the twelve fixed melodies.
