Each of the worlds is based on the different types of worlds that were in Super Mario 3D World and each has their own set of trips and traps.

Toad will hop into the cart and you can use the motion controls to shoot Turnips around along the track, though weirdly this motion control for looking around only works in handheld mode, which was a little annoying. The game is broken up with some interesting (but recycled) boss fights and some mine cart levels. Previously this was locked behind the Toad amiibo but now is available upon stage completion.Įach level is a little tiny diorama, you’ll want to turn the level to all possible angles to find the solution and all the goodies hidden in the levels. Also after you beat a level, some levels open up with a hidden Pixel Toad sticker to find further added another thing to do. You should, however, work through all the extra activities and hidden things baked into each level which you might not have found on the first go. If you plough through the game doing just that it’ll be pretty over soon. The goal of each level is to collect three gems and then a power star. Toad can’t jump and instead has to use the world around him, and what he plucks out of the ground to take down enemies and solve puzzles.

It’s up to Toad to save her (mostly) and head off on over 70 levels of fun.Ĭaptain Toad might look like a Mario game or even just a platformer, but it’s all a deception. Toad and Toadette are on an adventure to find treasure, upon finding that treasure it’s promptly stolen from them and Toadette is whisked away by Wingo the bird at the same time. It’s a puzzle game that forces you to think outside the box, while itself being in a box.Ĭaptain Toad’s story is light and adorable as any other Mario-ish title. While on the surface it’s a simple game, the charm of Captain Toad and the strong puzzling fun still today brings a smile to the face.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was a delightful surprise on the Wii U.
