'''''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''''' is a [[Genre#Puzzle games|puzzle]]-[[Genre#Platform games|platforming]] 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 (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'', released 20 years prior.

A [[Reissue#Ports|port]] of the [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|same name]] was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] on July 13, 2018.

==Story==
[[File:Captain toad intro.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|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 is 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.

Once Captain Toad reaches Wingo's fortress, they fight, and after Wingo is defeated, Toadette is rescued and they continue treasure hunting. However, Wingo returns to steal their treasure again and ends up capturing Captain Toad, allowing Toadette to journey on a solo adventure. After another long journey, Toadette saves him, although immediately afterward Wingo reappears, captures Toadette again and blows Captain Toad away.

The Captain awakes in a dark cave, where he finds another Power Star snatched away by Wingo. Toad pursues to a large mine. Meanwhile, Toadette escapes Wingo and goes off to reunite with Captain Toad, though is captured again soon after. Wingo then takes her to the same tower, while Captain Toad arrives. After a final fight, Wingo is truly defeated, and the two Toads ride off in a minecart as the credits play.

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.

==Gameplay==
[[Captain Toad]] controls similarly to The Adventures of Captain Toad, being unable to [[jump]]. However, he can instead 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 and score feature. 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.).

===amiibo===
[[File:CTTT Amiibo function.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|A Pixel Toad.]]
The game received [[amiibo]] functionality in an update released in March 2015.<ref name="update support">{{cite|url=en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14467|title=How to Update ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo Support|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</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">{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20141230162608/http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/line-up#/captain_toad|title=''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</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.

==Stages==
''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' features 79 stages (referred to as "mini-universes").<ref name="CT:TT Direct Trailer">{{cite|date=November 5, 2014|author=GameXplain|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=t05E3dZmWkE|title=Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - 70-Levels Trailer (Nintendo Direct)|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</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.

Waiting on the title screen for long enough will allow the player to play one of two stages that is an illusion. The first one has blocks in the shape of a [[Fire Flower]], but when the camera is turned they form a [[Super Star]]. The second one shows an image of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]] that appears to be sunken in, but is actually pointing outwards. These stages can be exited at any time.

==Luigi and Rosalina Sightings==
{{main|List of Luigi and Rosalina sightings in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker}}
Like with ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' features [[8-bit character|Pixel Luigis]] hidden in various parts of the game, despite not being released in the [[Year of Luigi]]. In addition, a select few levels feature [[8-bit character|Pixel Rosalinas]] as well.

==Development==
The idea of ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' came to director Shinya Hiratake as a dream.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=RawmeatCowboy|date=November 14, 2014|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20150501120351/https://www.gonintendo.com/s/241799-captain-toad-treasure-tracker-originally-starred-link-idea-was-initially-shot-down|title=''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' originally starred Link, idea was initially shot down|publisher=GoNintendo|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</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>{{cite|url=www.ndw.jp/post-529|date=July 21, 2018|title=『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）|language=ja|publisher=Nintendo DREAM WEB|accessdate=July 17, 2021}}</ref>

==Update history==
===Version 1.1.0===
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"/>

==Reception==
''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>{[cite|url=www.metacritic.com/game/captain-toad-treasure-tracker|title=''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|publisher=Metacritic|language=en|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</ref> as well as a score of 81.01% on GameRankings based on 54 reviews.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20150220081538/http://www.gamerankings.com/wii-u/805615-captain-toad-treasure-tracker/index.html|title=''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|publisher=GameRankings|language=en|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</ref>

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>{{cite|language=en|author=Silva, Marty|url=www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/01/captain-toad-treasure-tracker-review|title=Review: ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|date=December 1, 2014|publisher=IGN|accessdate=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>{{cite|author=Gies, Arthur|url=www.polygon.com/2014/12/1/7312633/captain-toad-treasure-tracker-review-wii-u|title=Review: ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|date=December 1, 2014|publisher=Polygon|language=en|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</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>{{cite|author=Carter, Chris|language=en|url=www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-captain-toad-treasure-tracker|title=Review: ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''|publisher=Destructoid|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</ref>

*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': This game's lava level music is partially covered in [[Drop-Road Dash]]'s background music.

Additionally, the [[Starshroom]] appears in the distance in Episode 1's Coins Galore if the player rotates the camera, and in the ending credits if the game is beaten twice.

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 covers of several musical themes from this game. Super Bell Hill, Conkdor Canyon, Shadow-Play Alley, and Clear Pipe Cruise return as stages. Also, a slightly re-animated version of 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''.

==References in later games==
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': A costume of both Captain Toad and Toadette (in her gear from ''Treasure Tracker'') appear in an event level designed after this title. Music jingles and sound effects also return as further references.

*''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'': Draggadon reappears in this title. After using the Basin Thing in [[Redpepper Volcano]], a bump comes out of its head, just like in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' after a rock falls on it.

At [[the Golden Coliseum]], a yellow [[Rescue Squad]] Toad says that the squad used "Toad treasure-tracking technology" to find the Bone.
*''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'': When encountering Captain Toad in the [[Lost Kingdom]], he mentions he was dropped by a [[Klepto|giant bird]], but a different bird than "[his] usual one," referencing his kidnapping by Wingo.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'': "Plucky Pass Beginnings", the Toad Brigade theme, and "The King of Pyropuff Peak", Draggadon's battle theme, both appear in this game.

At Toadette's Explore area, she references the title by saying, "Choose up to four treasure trackers!"
*''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'': Hint Toad, Banktoad, and Yellow Toad are extra characters in the Captain Toad levels, wearing their outfits from ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. Additionally, their level clear animation is similar to their level clear animation from the Toad Brigade levels in the [[Bonus Episode]].

Several of the stages shown off during E3 2014 had different names than in the final game; for example, [[Mushroom Mesa]] was originally named "Mushy Monument: Mayday!". 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.
