[[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'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 levels collecting Power Stars to fight Wingo and save Toadette.
[[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.


After a while, the Captain and Wingo duel in a dark tower over stormy skies. After Wingo is defeated, Toadette is rescued and they continue treasure hunting. However, Wingo, who remains unfinished, returns to kidnap Captain Toad this time, allowing Toadette to journey on a solo adventure. After another long journey, Toadette saves him, although this fight is "failed" as the Captain is promptly knocked far away, and Toadette recaptured.  
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, adventures a bit, but is once again taken captive. Wingo then takes her to the same tower, while Captain Toad arrives. After a final fight, Wingo is defeated permanently, and the two Toads ride off in a minecart as the credits play.

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 chases after a Green Star, leaving Toadette in the minecart. A scene very similar to ''Super Mario 3D World'''s (though with updated, slightly better graphics) opening plays, only the scene changes after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach]] enter the pipe. The runaway Green Star falls into the pipe, and Captain Toad follows suit, setting the stage for ''Super Mario 3D World''.
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, leading into the events of ''Super Mario 3D World''.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
[[Captain Toad]] controls the same as in The Adventures of Captain Toad and cannot [[jump]]. He can pick plants from the ground which usually have coins or [[turnip]]s but can sometimes have [[Super Gem]]s. These plants can sometimes act similarly to [[Coin Block]]s in ''Mario'' platformers, housing either a single coin or 10 coins that the player must pull in a time limit. The turnips 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. Each stage also has 3 Super Gems (similar to [[Green Star (Super Mario 3D World)|Green Star]]s) to collect. 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. The main goal of the game is to reach the one [[Power Star]] in each stage.
[[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 game intends to include [[amiibo]] functionality.<ref>http://e3.nintendo.com/amiibo/</ref>
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.

===Episode 3===
==Reception==
'''The Search for Toadette'''
''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>

'''The Search for Captain Toad'''
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>

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a puzzle-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 Stars while attempting to stop a large, scavenging bird named Wingo from stealing them. This is the second game to have a Toad as the main protagonist following Wario's Woods, released 20 years prior.

A port of the same name was released for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS on July 13, 2018.

Story[edit]

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
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, leading into the events of Super Mario 3D World.

Gameplay[edit]

Captain Toad controls similarly to The Adventures of Captain Toad, being unable to jump. However, he can instead pull on Pluck Patches, patches of grass which can contain items such as coins, power-ups, or turnips, 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 Gems (similar to the Green Stars 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[edit]

A Pixel Toad.

The game received amiibo functionality in an update released in March 2015.[6] 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.[7] 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,[7] 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.

Controls[edit]

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker can only be played using the Wii U GamePad.

Luigi and Rosalina Sightings[edit]

Main article: List of Luigi and Rosalina sightings in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Like with Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker features 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 Pixel Rosalinas as well.

Development[edit]

The idea of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker came to director Shinya Hiratake as a dream.[9] 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.[10]

Update history[edit]

Version 1.1.0[edit]

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 Plus Button, 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.[6]

Reception[edit]

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,[11] as well as a score of 81.01% on GameRankings based on 54 reviews.[12]

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.[13] 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."[14] 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.[15]

Reviews
Platform Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Wii U Marty Sliva, IGN 8.2/10 "Treasure Tracker takes the core concept of Captain Toad and runs wild with it. It’s a smart, adorable puzzle game that presents some awesome locales and really rewards you for taking the time to unpack them. Despite the control issues and menu problems, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker proves that you can still be great without being Super."
Wii U Arthur Gies, Polygon 8.5/10 "For anybody else, Captain Toad's weird little experiment would be an afterthought. But Nintendo's exercise in digging has found something pretty special — an action puzzle game that succeeds on charm and smarts, rather than reflexes and spectacle."
Wii U Chris Carter, Destructoid 8/10 "Captain Toad is an experience that doesn't attempt to really wow you, but instead delivers consistent puzzle experiences at a rapid pace. There's more Nintendo could have done with it, but it is a puzzler in its purest form, and that will be more than enough for people who wanted more of the titular hero after playing the bonus games in 3D World."

  • Super Mario World: Wingo has a feather on his hat that is based on the Cape Feather.[16] During the fights against Wingo, Toadette will throw Toad a Super Mushroom, similar to Peach in the final battle with Bowser. Keys have a close resemblance to the said item's in-game sprite, even lying horizontally.

  • New Super Mario Bros.: This game's lava level music is partially covered in Drop-Road Dash's background music.
  • Super Mario Galaxy: Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade return from their debut in this game, along with their musical theme. 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.
  • Super Mario 3D Land: A cover of this game's beach level theme appears. Flip Panels make a reappearance as well.
  • New Super Mario Bros. 2: The Gold Mushroom returns as an item.
  • 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 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.

  • 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. Also, when this happens, Mario can ride Draggadon as Captain Toad did in his game. At the Golden Coliseum, a yellow Rescue Squad Toad says that the squad used "Toad treasure-tracking technology" to find the Bone.

  • 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.
