There’s a wonderful variation amongst the many levels and a coin dash added in as a bonus every so often. The novel is broken into 3 Big episodes, with 18 chapters (or levels) in each of the first two, and 28 in the third. The first level is then revealed as if you’re starting the first page of a novel. The story starts off with Toad being greeted by Toadette who’s immediately kidnapped by a huge bird named Wingo. If you tap on him repeatedly, he’ll give up a gold coin. If you need to temporarily stop an enemy’s motion, you can do so by touching that enemy on the gamepad with your stylus. Once you’ve led him to the block you need him to dive into, make sure to get out of his way, so he doesn’t land on you instead. Other blocks will require help from your enemy, a dive-bombing bird that flies overhead. Some blocks, which release coins, can be broken by touching the block itself on the Wii U GamePad. We discovered a couple of fun tricks to breaking blocks and dealing with the enemy while playing the game. You can combat the first hit and return to normal size by locating a hidden red mushroom in an area. The first hit shrinks Toad and the second one takes him out. When it comes to enemies, it’s important to be aware of them at all times. You can also fall on an enemy from up above. As with most Mario games, you earn an extra life with every 100 coins or 1UP mushroom you collect. One thing to note is that you can’t climb with a turnip in hand, but you can fall down with one from a higher level to a lower one. You can also catapult turnips at POW blocks to take down a wall. The pickaxes destroy brick blocks while the turnips can be used to pummel enemies. Some of the flowers will produce up to 10 coins, with continuous pulling action.
2, Toad can pull flowers out of the ground to find hidden objects such as coins, turnips, mushrooms, and super pickaxes. The quests make for a great challenge and an excuse to go back and play through each level a 2nd time. There’s a wide variety of quests to be had, including finding the 1UP mushroom, sneaking through a level without being seen by the Shy Guy enemies, completing an area without taking damage, collecting a certain amount of gold coins, and much more. There is no timer, so you can take as long as needed to complete the tasks.Īfter you’ve completed your main assignment, you’ll be able to view a side quest with unique criteria specific to that level. Your main objective in each area is to find the three jewels and reach the star. He uses stairs, ladders, elevators, moveable platforms, and levers to get from one tier of the multi-layered levels to the next.Įach level has its own unique look, feel, puzzle solving elements, and bonus side quests to complete. Unlike Mario, Toad does not have the ability to jump. You can have a look around by using the gyroscope controls, twisting and turning the GamePad or by simply maneuvering the right control stick. The big, colorful 3D world can be seen from any side or overhead. Just like the game that inspired it, Treasure Tracker allows the player to traverse isometric 3D levels and use the camera to see different viewpoints of each area’s terrain. The main levels of the game were inspired by the Captain Toad levels found in Super Mario 3D Land on the Wii U. He’s got his backpack and miner’s headlamp and is ready to go on a quest for gold and jewels. Instead of Mario being the hero, this time it’s our mild mannered friend with the high-pitched voice, Toad. With the 3DS & Nintendo Switch versions of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker just a few days away from release, we thought it’d be a good time to revisit our review of the game from when we played it on the Wii U.Īlthough the newest version will bring some fun additions such as co-op play and 4 courses from Super Mario Odyssey, the heart of the game, storyline, and majority of levels should be the same.įor those of you who may be trying to decide whether or not this game is for you, we hope a look at our experiences will assist you in your decision making.Ĭaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker is an exciting new type of platform game for the Wii U.
