If you plough through the game doing just that it’ll be pretty over soon.

The goal of each level is to collect three gems and then a power star. Toad can’t jump and instead has to use the world around him, and what he plucks out of the ground to take down enemies and solve puzzles. It’s up to Toad to save her (mostly) and head off on over 70 levels of fun.Ĭaptain Toad might look like a Mario game or even just a platformer, but it’s all a deception. Toad and Toadette are on an adventure to find treasure, upon finding that treasure it’s promptly stolen from them and Toadette is whisked away by Wingo the bird at the same time. It’s a puzzle game that forces you to think outside the box, while itself being in a box.Ĭaptain Toad’s story is light and adorable as any other Mario-ish title. While on the surface it’s a simple game, the charm of Captain Toad and the strong puzzling fun still today brings a smile to the face.


Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was a delightful surprise on the Wii U.
