Is Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Actually Good?

In 2013, we saw the launch of Super Mario 3D World, a very different 3D Mario game, featuring a select few very different levels, starring Captain Toad as the protagonist. These Captain Toad levels were loved so much by the team, that they decided to make an entire game solely based around them, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and today I will be seeing if this game is actually good or not. This is my Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker retrospective, enjoy!

I’ve been wanting a sequel to this game for the longest time. Although if it did get a sequel, I would certainly hope that the story was better than a bird continuously kidnapping one of two people over and over again

How about a sequel that is based on galaxy, they can mess with the gravity and sling star mechanic more now captain toad can’t jump. Also captain toad can have power up like ice captain toad, tornado captain toad or fire captain toad.

Short answer: yes! I love this game, it's one of my favorite games on Switch. I wish it did receive a sequel with levels based around Super Mario Odyssey's Kingdoms. The DLC is also a nice addition to the Switch port. :)

I ADORE this game! I still pick it up on 3DS every now and then. I never got it on Switch but I think I’ll grab it soon. It was always one of my favorite chill puzzle games before bed. While not going to win any game of the year awards I personally love it and have it to thank for hours of entertainment. I love puzzles and wholesome puzzle games always have a special place in my heart.

The Switch Version added 2 Player Coop and DLC Levels. The game looks gorgeous with its animations and detailed textures and art style.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is one of the Wii U/Switch's hidden gems, actually preferred it to Smash 4 at the time of release. Just a charming time, with the post game 3D World/Odyssey levels being a nice extra. The 3DS port still confuses me as to why it exists tho

This shouldn't even be a question. The answer is yes. I played this game when it came back way back on the wiiu, I straight up kept playing till I got to the third chapter lol. It's an awesome game and deserves more. But at the very least I'm just glad he's been in every mainline mario since 3D world. I have high hope he'll return on the switch 2. Very high hopes. But if not there's still hope his in a new 3D mario...maybe.

This game is very nostalgic for me. It’s one of the major reasons why I got a Wii U. I saw the commercials for it in late 2014 when I was 7. So I got a Wii U for Christmas that year with 3D World and Nintendo Land. I was so excited when I saw that Captain Toad was in 3D World. I soon got Captain Toad a few months later and really enjoyed playing it. Even now I think it’s a great underrated gem 💎 and definitely deserves a sequel.

Great video, super well made! I agree with everything you said too, haha. I love the game, but I suppose working against it is that it feels a bit claustrophobic in comparison to super mario games since you can't jump. "Almost as claustrophobic as Skyward Sword" 😅😉

What are the differences between wii u and switch version?

@legoboy7107 8 ай бұрын

Wii U version has post-game levels taken from 3D World that are adapted to fit Captain Toad, as well as repeating the opening cutscene of 3D World but extended to show Captain Toad also entering the Sprixie Kingdom, basically the whole thing is a cool setup to the game being a direct prequel to 3D World, and the bonus levels from 3D World are kinda supposed to show how Captain Toad got a couple of the Green Stars you find him with in actual 3D World. It also uses the Wii U gamepad for various Touchscreen-based features. In the Switch version however, all of that is gone completely, no 3D World stages, and the whole 3D World prequel thing is scrapped. Instead, the Switch version adds 4 brand new stages (I think it's 4) that are from 4 of Super Mario Odyssey's kingdoms (but obviously WAY smaller than Odyssey's stages, these have completely new level design unlike the 3D World stages in the Wii U version), and the game is retconned to be an Odyssey prequel instead (though in my opinion it doesn't work nearly as well that way and has some big plot holes, but who cares about that lol). And touchscreen gimmicks have been reworked to use a gyro motion pointer in docked mode. So in short, the Wii U version has bonus levels from 3D World, while the Switch version removed those but added new bonus levels based on Odyssey kingdoms.
