'''''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''''' is a puzzle platform game for the [[Wii U]], and the prequel to ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. The game is based on [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] stages from ''Super Mario 3D World'', but features extensive depth and variety, and the game's plot revolves around [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] collecting [[Power Star]]s while attempting to stop a large, scavenging bird named [[Wingo]] from stealing them. This is the second game to have a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] as the main protagonist following ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', released twenty years prior.

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 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 Wii U amiibo site">[http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/line-up/#/captain_toad ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' on the official North American Wii U 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 Wii U 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.

''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' features 79 stages (referred to as "mini-universes"<ref name="CT:TT Direct Trailer">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t05E3dZmWkE Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Direct) Trailer]</ref>). The game is divided into various "episodes," with their own plots, as well as containing a number of different stages played as each character. Each stage also features a challenge that can be completed for an extra bonus.

The idea of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' came to director Shinya Hiratake as a dream.<ref>RawmeatCowboy (November 14, 2014). [https://web.archive.org/web/20150501120351/https://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]. ''GoNintendo''. Retrieved 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'' was released, Miyamoto encouraged production of a full game around the concept.<ref>[https://www.ndw.jp/post-529/ 『進め！キノピオ隊長』開発スタッフに訊く 発想探求ツアー！ （2015年1月号より）].

The Wii U version of the game received an update on March 19, 2015, adding amiibo support to the game. An amiibo prompt was added to the menu screen by pressing {{button|wiiu|Plus}}, 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>

''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' received generally positive reviews. Much of the praise was directed towards the limited focus on just Captain Toad and Toadette, as well as the game's concept, but minor criticism amounted to some technical issues and the designs of some levels. The game currently holds a score of 81 on Metacritic based on 78 reviews,<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/captain-toad-treasure-tracker Metacritic score for ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''.] ''Metacritic''.

Marty Silva of IGN gave the game an 8.2/10, criticizing what he believed to be an over-reliance of the GamePad at times, stating "The problem here is that it's controlled both through the right stick and the GamePad's gyrosensor, and the sensor can't be turned off, so I found the camera spinning out of control whenever I moved my wrists. Also, if you're playing only off the GamePad, messages and touch-screen prompts have a tendency to pop up and really obscure your view at important moments." Otherwise, he was praising of the game, mostly to the charm, visuals, and sense of discovery.<ref>Silva, Marty.

Retrieved May 21, 2018.</ref> Arthur Gies of Polygon gave the game of 8.5/10, and was similarly critical of camera issues, claiming they "transcended my crankiness and felt like actual problems", but praised the characters' "outrageous cuteness", remarking "Nintendo games explore their root mechanics thoroughly, finding fun through solid execution and exploration of the idea. Using that as a verb, ''Captain Toad'' Nintendos. It Nintendos hard."<ref>Gies, Arthur.

Retrieved May 21, 2018.</ref> Chris Carter of Destructoid gave the game an 8/10, and was also similarly praising of the limited focus on Captain Toad and Toadette, stating "No other Mario characters are jumping out and stealing the spotlight here -- it's just the two aforementioned characters and their thirst for treasure that fuels the game." He was, however, critical of a few levels, and for what he opined as little to offer for players who did not like puzzle platformers.<ref>Carter, Chris.

*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': The music that plays when using a Super Pickax is an arrangement 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 on the [[25m|first level]] from 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 battle with Bowser. [[Key]]s have a close resemblance to the said item's in-game sprite, even lying horizontally.

*''[[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 Coins 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 (platform)|Flip Panel]]s make a reappearance as well.

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' uses a modified engine based on this game. The core gameplay is based on Captain Toad's Adventures levels first featured in this 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>
