And these toads aren't anywhere near Toadette's location. They can be literally anywhere on the map, so finding them is a real pain. There are only four, but some are hidden under levels, in secret alcoves, or atop tall peaks. We've got screenshots and text to help you find them all and get you closer to 100% completion.

All Hidden Toad Locations | Toadette Quest Guide
After you complete the story and watch the credits, you'll be able to return to the lake and gain more shine. One is located in a bonus level - Fur Step Island in the region of departure. Near Bowser's crashed ship you will find Toadette. When you get closer, you will see that it is missing four adventurous toads.
All you have to do is find the toad and save it from the danger it is in. When you do, you will be rewarded with a Shine for a total of four shines.
- Toad # 1: The first toad is to the right of the door for Scamper Shores, the first level. Defeat the enemies who are chasing him!
- Toad # 2: The next toad is at Slipskate Slope. He is in a very difficult position to find near the entrance. Take a flying block and go down under the first slope - under the ramp there is a hidden alcove where this toad is hiding.
- Toad # 3: Far, far north of Château Crisp Climb, there is a small island on the edge of the map. Use the springs to launch yourself through the black mud. You will find a toad on this small, lost island.
- Toad # 4: Climb Mount Magmeow and reach the top. This only unlocks after completing the level at least once. When you're on the top, look in the back corner for a bottom ledge - that's where Toad is chased. Defeat the enemy to save the last toad!
