Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Reviews
The charm of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker resides in the unique variety of levels built for the game, as well as the competent, yet simplistic gameplay design it delivers. Add a strong replay value to the mix and you have one of the best surprises to hit the Wii U this holiday season.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is much closer to a port than an enhanced version like we’ve seen with other Wii U titles. However, those who haven’t played it are better off getting one of the new releases, since those also offer portability. Since the levels are short, it is the perfect title to pick up and play. Despite the flaws, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker still might be one of the best puzzle-action game for Switch.
Captain Toad always felt like a handheld game
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is another great Wii U game that is made better by the Nintendo Switch's portability. It's a fun experience that doesn't overstay its welcome, but definitely does feel repetitive in certain areas.
Captain Toad is a fun adventure and an enjoyable little break from Mario's typical adventures. Will it hold the world over until the next big Mario game? Definitely. It's easy enough for anyone to complete but complex enough to feel kind of smart playing through it. It's a nice change to Mario gameplay without making it unrecognizable.
It's a fun little title with some beautiful design work. The trouble is that the designers never quite managed to make this title feel like more than a compilation of mini-games..
Ultimately this is a game that should cheer most up, even from the dullest of moods, and possibly make them feel a bit tingly in the process – due to the near saccharin levels of sheer cuteness on screen at all times. You could almost call it the video game equivalent of an ASMR video – but a lot less creepy and weird.
Small quirks hinder an otherwise beautiful puzzler
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a wonderful puzzle game accessible to all ages and skill levels. It's vibrant, cute and features great puzzle mechanics that ramp up nicely in difficulty and have enough variety.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a lot for the price. It's a value game, and it's just a fun little title for everyone. Nintendo continues to prove why they are the legends of the industry. They deliver time and time again with solid titles, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is one such title. Admittedly I was not looking forward to this title when it came across my desk, but I am really happy that I sat down with it. If you are looking for a last minute gift idea for your Nintendo enthusiast, this is one to get.
Controls are really my biggest complaint but, overall, the game is still fantastic and worth playing. The worlds are vibrantly-colored, the courses are fun, and there is plenty of challenge in store for every type of player. If you've been looking for a relaxing puzzle-platformer to play in between your other Switch titles, you won't find a better one than this.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Switch version is certainly the definitive way to play. Boasting brilliant level design, puzzle creation and ingenuity. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is easily one of the best titles on the Switch, and deserves a second chance to shine.
If you missed this game on Wii U (and far too many did) don't let it pass you by again. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is great on any Nintendo system. Don't take my word for it, try the demo for yourself.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a great, charming, fun to play and replay puzzle game, and will probably become as comfort food for your Switch.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a natural fit for the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, the additional features of this re-release are rather lackluster.
