Template:Infobox

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a puzzle platform game for the Wii U. It was released on November 13, 2014 in Japan and is planned to be released on December 5, 2014 in North America; January 2, 2015 in Europe; and January 3, 2015 in Australia. 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 as the main protagonist, with the first game being Wario's Woods, released twenty years prior.

Story

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 turnips but can sometimes have Diamonds. These plants can sometimes act similarly to Coin Blocks 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 will also have 3 Diamonds, similar to Green Stars and a stamp to collect. Unlike The Adventures of Captain Toad, the levels have no time limit. Instead, the game keeps track 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 Power Star at one point of the stage.

The game is going to have amiibo functionality.^[1]
