Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Reviews
Captain Toad is a fun adventure and an enjoyable little break from Mario's typical adventures. Will it hold the world over until the next big Mario game? Definitely. It's easy enough for anyone to complete but complex enough to feel kind of smart playing through it. It's a nice change to Mario gameplay without making it unrecognizable.
And more often, please.
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker offers a unique puzzle experience that is full of content and compelling missions that can hook the player into saying “just one more level” over and over again. Although the game certainly has its moments where gameplay can get slow and frustrating, especially with the Pixel Toad missions, the overall experience is not ruined by these moments. Captain Toad is a fast and rewarding puzzle platformer game that has gone underappreciated on the Switch. It is the perfect game to pick up while waiting for Nintendo to release their more anticipated titles.
The Toad and Toadette adventure has made the leap to the Nintendo Switch, but is more suitable for handheld than TV mode. Apart from that, the actual treasure hunt in over 70 levels remains irresistibly cuddly and entertaining - and hopefully forms the basis for a real second part.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a great little puzzle platformer that fits perfectly into the handheld side of the Switch's capabilities. Despite the rare awkward control issue while in TV mode and the slight feeling of repetitiveness that can appear near the end, the creative 'Hakoniwa' sandbox-style levels are all beautifully crafted and fun to explore. Charming music, bright and colourful visuals and references to past and future Mushroom Kingdom moments make this spin-off title a fantastic addition to your Switch's gaming library.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker accomplishes what it set out to do by providing a delightful and straightforward puzzle experience. The worlds are breathtaking to look at, and the puzzles are perfect for bite-sized sessions wherever you may be. Although there are a couple of issues that could be ironed out, this remaster is a great pick up for any Switch owner.
'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker' is truly a gem of a game to play. It is also one of the biggest Wii U surprises I've had since first buying the console. Who would have thought that developing a handful of mini-games for 'Super Mario 3D World' could turn into such a charming game? Although fairly short, the overall experience is one that I will not soon forget. 'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker' simply should not be missed.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker may be a humble little game that may not aim very high, but it succeeds as a quality and polished title for those who want a relaxing and easy going adventure-puzzle game. An excellent game for the kids, and any Nintendo enthusiast will enjoy this mellow title as an alternative to the frantic battles of Bayonetta 2, the wacky races of Mario Kart 8 or the beat downs of Super Smash Bros. Sometimes a fun guy just wants to chill and go on an adventure.
Halfway between Fez and the best Screwball Scramble set ever created, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a quietly brilliant puzzler. It could stand to be longer and slightly more challenging, but Nintendo have turned a simple premise into something truly lovely.
A really fun puzzle game with lots of different levels and only minor issues.

If you want a cute little puzzle game to sink a couple of dozen hours of relatively enjoyable gameplay in to, by all means, pick up Captain Toad. It is a solid game well worth the price point. But it is mostly meant for the hard core Nintendo fan or the younger crowd.
It's a fun little title with some beautiful design work. The trouble is that the designers never quite managed to make this title feel like more than a compilation of mini-games..
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a lot for the price. It's a value game, and it's just a fun little title for everyone. Nintendo continues to prove why they are the legends of the industry. They deliver time and time again with solid titles, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is one such title. Admittedly I was not looking forward to this title when it came across my desk, but I am really happy that I sat down with it. If you are looking for a last minute gift idea for your Nintendo enthusiast, this is one to get.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Switch version is certainly the definitive way to play. Boasting brilliant level design, puzzle creation and ingenuity. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is easily one of the best titles on the Switch, and deserves a second chance to shine.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a great, charming, fun to play and replay puzzle game, and will probably become as comfort food for your Switch.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Switch includes new levels inspired by Super Mario Odyssey. Despite some controversial design choices in docked mode, It offers a fresh gameplay concept and a lot of fun.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a natural fit for the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, the additional features of this re-release are rather lackluster.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is another excellent addition to the Switch's expansive library of quality platformers.
