'''''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''''' is a puzzle platform game for the [[Wii U]]. The game is based on [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]] stages from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' but features extensive depth and variety. This is the second game to have a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] as the main protagonist, with the first game being ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', released twenty years prior.

[[File:Captain toad intro.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Wingo lifting Toadette and the Power Star.]]

[[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] are out treasure hunting, climbing a structure to get a [[Power Star]]. They soon after notice feathers falling from the sky when [[Wingo]], a large bird who's described as "a lover of all things shiny", grabs the star. Toadette attempts to retrieve it while Captain Toad is temporarily knocked over. Wingo makes off with both the star and Toadette, leaving the Captain on his own. Captain Toad must then go through stages collecting Power Stars to reach Wingo and save Toadette.

After the credits, Captain Toad notices a [[Green Star]] falling through the sky, and chases after it, leaving Toadette in the minecart. The opening scene of ''Super Mario 3D World'' plays, though after Mario and the others enter the [[Clear Pipe]] to chase [[Bowser]], the Green Star falls in as well, with Captain Toad climbing into the Clear Pipe to chase after it.

[[Captain Toad]] controls similarly to The Adventures of Captain Toad, and is unable to [[jump]]. Instead, he can pull on [[Pluck Patch]]es, patches of grass which can contain items such as [[coin]]s, power-ups, or [[turnip]]s, which can be thrown at enemies in a ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' fashion. The camera can be rotated in any direction to view the stage at different angles.

The main goal of the game is to reach the one [[Power Star]] in each stage; the player must do so by navigating each stage and solving puzzles to reach them. Unlike The Adventures of Captain Toad, the levels have no time limit. Instead, the game keeps track of the highest number of coins earned in each level and the time taken to complete each level. Each stage also has 3 [[Super Gem]]s (similar to the [[Green Star]]s of ''Super Mario 3D World'') to collect, as well as a bonus objective that appears after beating the stage, in which the player must clear the stage while performing a certain task (collecting a certain mushroom, taking no damage, defeating certain enemies, etc.).

The game received [[amiibo]] functionality in an update released in March 2015<ref name="update support">[http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14467/p/431/c/793 How to Update Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker] on the Nintendo Support website. Retrieved March 20, 2015.</ref>. Scanning the Toad amiibo takes the player into a game of Hide and Seek on the current stage, in which the player must find a hidden 8-bit Toad (called "[[Pixel Toad]]") by tapping it on the Wii U GamePad.<ref name="CTTT amiibo site">[http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/line-up/#/captain_toad ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' on the official North American amiibo webpage]</ref> The player can only play the hide and seek game on a given stage after clearing it.

Tapping any other amiibo gives the player 1-Up Mushrooms<ref name="CTTT amiibo site"></ref>, though they can only give the player so many before they can no longer be used, and the player must wait to use them again.

The idea of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' came to director Shinya Hiratake as a dream.<ref>[http://www.gonintendo.com/s/241799-captain-toad-treasure-tracker-originally-starred-link-idea-was-initially-shot-down GoNintendo: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker originally starred Link, idea was initially shot down]. Retrieved at December 12, 2014</ref> It originally featured [[Link]] as the hero instead of Mario, as Mario not being able to jump would not make sense. Link would explore in a diorama-style in a tech demo presented to Shigeru Miyamoto. The idea was shot down, though Miyamoto realized a potential with the idea. It was included in ''Super Mario 3D World'', where Hiratake chose Captain Toad from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' because the heavy backpack would have prevented him from jumping. After ''Super Mario 3D World'' came out, Miyamoto encouraged production of a full game around the concept.

==Update==

''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' received an update on March 19, 2015, updating the game to version 1.1. The update adds amiibo support to the game. An amiibo prompt has been added to the menu screen by pressing {{button|wii|+}}, allowing players to scan the Toad amiibo to play Hide and Seek with Pixel Toad, while any other amiibo give the player 1-Up Mushrooms.<ref name="update support"></ref>

*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The music that plays when using a Super Pickax is a remix of the theme that plays when Mario collects a [[Hammer]] in ''Donkey Kong''; the way in which the pickaxe is swung is also a reference to the Hammer. [[Retro Ramp-Up]] is based upon this game.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': [[Wingo]] has a feather on his hat that resembles the [[Cape Feather]]. During the fights against Wingo, Toadette will throw Toad a [[Super Mushroom]], similar to Peach in the final Bowser battle.

*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': When playing in a Coins Galore level, a remix of the slide theme of this game plays.

*''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'': [[Captain Toad]] and the [[Toad Brigade]] return from their debut in this game, along with their iconic sound track. Also, the [[Starshroom]] appears in the ending credits if the game is beaten twice. The Starshroom appears secretly in Episode 1's Gold Galore if the player rotates the camera. It is seen in the distance.

*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': A cover version of this game's beach level music appears. [[Flip Panel]]s makes a reappearance as well.

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': This game is based on [[The Adventures of Captain Toad]], first featured in that game. Many mechanics from this game return, as well as cover versions of several tracks from this game. Super Bell Hill, Conkdor Canyon, Shadow-Play Alley, and Clear Pipe Cruise return as stages. Also, the intro from this game can be seen after the credits, revealing that ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' is, in fact, a prequel to ''Super Mario 3D World''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB-jj1Kx5UA&list=UUfAPTv1LgeEWevG8X_6PUOQ</ref>

*''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': Draggadon is set to reappear in this title.

The main characters' voices are performed by [[Samantha Kelly]], and general game production is done by [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

Several of the stages shown off during E3 2014 had different names than in the final game. The box art was also changed during development. Several enemies such as Flaptors seen in the final game do not appear in the E3 demo.
