![]() ![]() ![]() I would've liked a longer main game though as it only sits at around 6 hours. There is re-playability to be found in the previous levels and for a completionist there is certainly enough to do bonus objectives appear after finished levels adding replay incentive. My biggest gripe with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is that it's over far too soon, ending just when the game is starting to give you grander and tougher levels. Seeing Toad huff and puff as he flees from a Shy Guy is constantly hilarious and the end credits show off Toadette's brave side in a mine cart montage through the Mushroom Kingdom. Captain Toad and Toadette are wonderfully appealing because of these animations. In doing so you not only gain insight into the puzzling environments but can also view the gorgeous aesthetic and charming animation that is frequent throughout the game. With a quick button press you can zoom into the levels and get a better lay of the land. The levels are enhanced by the GamePad which is useful for this type of game as it requires you to survey your surroundings, taking in visual clues to solve the various puzzles. Certain items make a return as well, including 3D World's double cherry which duplicates the character. The boss levels against a fiery dragon are a major highlight in the game, ramping up the difficulty and throwing a lot of puzzling elements at you all at once. Within the game are also mine cart levels which act as an on rails shooter, speed levels where Captain Toad or Toadette are jostled through the level because of boost pads and boss levels.

The gameplay is made more challenging by the fact that Toad and Toadette can't jump, the reason being the heavy backpack they are carrying. You'll often have to decipher numerous parts of a level to gain access to them, changing platforms along the way and avoiding deadly enemies. These hidden goodies can be difficult to find especially towards the end of the game. This main goal can take as little as 60 seconds but to truly get the most out of the game you will want to find all of the gems that the levels have hidden within them.

The game begins with Captain Toad and Toadette hunting down golden treasure. The bite-size puzzler delivers a gleeful stroll through the Mushroom Kingdom throwing in some deceptively challenging levels along the way. And whilst aesthetically it is very similar to Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad :Treasure Tracker is a unique experience bettered by the title characters' not being Mario. In fact you would be forgiven for thinking it is another title in the Mario franchise. On first glance, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker may not seem like the type of game that warrants much of your attention.
