Review Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Wii U)
Another treasure to track down
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has been Nintendo's greatest 2014 surprise, announced at E3 and rapidly turned around for a Holiday release — in North America, at least. In theory it's a new IP, too, taking the cute but minor Captain Toad character and providing him with his own game; the whole concept is a spin-off...

Backpack 'n all
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a bit of a gem on Wii U, and certainly worth considering for those eager to bulk up their Wii U game collection.

The backpack's a bit lighter in 8-bit
Earlier this week Nintendo showed off some new Event Courses and Mystery Costumes coming to Super Mario Maker, so we shouldn't forget that Captain Toad will join the ranks on 25th December.

News The Captain Toad Figurine Lamp is Now Lighting Up Club Nintendo in PAL Territories
Just look at it
Club Nintendo is going through a longer farewell in PAL territories than in North America - which closes very soon, we'll post a reminder - and is still introducing some charming new items to separate us from our final stars. One that was promised was the Captain Toad Figurine Lamp, which has now popped up in Europe and Australia...
Parent Trap Mario Party amiibo Toys Get Both Genders Battling
Family Gamer's Andy Robertson talks Toys to Life
While my family have well and truly been bitten by the deadly amiibo collecting bug, until now this had been the territory of my two boys rather than my daughter. Although we all play Super Smash Bros. she rarely gets the game out herself. However, the arrival of Mario Party 10 and the related Super...
Video Using amiibo With Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Toad has never looked cuter!
Last week, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker received an update to make it compatible with the recently-released Toad amiibo figure, and the result is quite a fun little minigame where you must find a tiny Pixel Toad in each of the game's levels. It's strangely addictive and brings new life to the game, which is exactly...
Video Here’s How amiibo Will Work in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Hide ’n’ seek
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was a perfect example of a “Budget AAA" title done right. For a cheaper price tag than the average Nintendo release, it expanded upon a unique, camera-centric puzzle mechanic with light platformer elements and offered up a creative, surprisingly content-heavy package. We awarded it an 8/10 in our...

Preview The Irresistible Charm of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Cuteness overload
When summarising Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, we feel that our editorial director Damien McFerran may have nailed it: "look at it, pure gaming joy on a screen". Few game companies portray 'cute' as successfully as Nintendo — relatively few even bother to try — and this is the epitome of that approach. It takes the...
First Impressions Solving the Puzzle of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Toad Captain! My Captain!
Sometimes games play host to smaller experiences so fun they could easily stand as full-fledged titles of their own. Kirby games are famous for this, of course, with Kirby Fighters & Dedede’s Drum Dash on offer in the pink puffball’s latest outing, though Mario’s also been known to get in on the act — Super...
About The Game
Ready for Adventure!
The intrepid Captain Toad sets off on his own adventure for the very first time through a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages to find hidden gems and nab elusive gold stars.
- Equipped with nothing more than a neck scarf, backpack and oversized head lamp, Captain Toad finds hidden gems, coins and power-ups on his way to the gold star at the end of each tricky, trap-filled stage.
- Captain Toad isn’t particularly fast or strong. He can’t jump and he has no super powers. But he knows that sometimes, it’s all about wits and perspective.
- Twist the camera to reveal hidden locations and other secrets. The Wii U GamePad offers a closer view of the dangers and hidden items in each maze, and its gyro controls can also be used to peer around.
- Captain Toad’s world is brimming with life, with dangerous enemies, tricky platforms, nasty traps and secrets to uncover. Each stage is its own puzzle to solve, and littered throughout are hidden items in hard-to-reach places. Can you help our tiny adventurer survive to find them all?

TOAD OMG
About time. XD
A must buy!
I was wondering when the man of the mushroom land was gonna get his own game! I can see this becoming a instant classic for Mario fans, plus captain toads stages were so fun in super Mario 3d world, I couldn't get enough of them, this cures that! Toad Rules!
Man, for a puzzle spin-off like this Nintendo's really going all out with the visual production. And it's great.
They need to make 3D graphics pop as much as all the bright family friendly games in 2D we've been seeing on iOS the past half decade.
As much of a smash bros fan, I think I am more hyped for this.
What happened to the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker gem guides?
Meh, the graphics looks creamy but the point is lost. It is like "Yoshi's Island" without the logic itself. Just make up whatever.
I don't know I have to check it out further one day.
