Nintendo uses short and often funny vignettes tell the story, such as it is. It doesn't make the overall experience feel too lacking, but it's easy to see how the series could have room to grow. The combination of Toad and Toadette would seem to lend itself to co-op puzzle-solving, but that's nowhere to be found. The two switch off several times during the course of the game, looking for each other and collecting treasures along the way.ĭespite the dual leads, this is all kept strictly single-player. It isn't long before the whole thing starts anew, this time with Captain Toad himself being carried off and Toadette handling the hero duties. Captain Toad goes off in search of her-or the star, as he seems a bit single-minded about treasure. As a result, she's carried off with the star. Their treasure is quickly pilfered by a villainous bird named Wingo, but Toadette isn't letting it go without a fight. The adventure begins when Captain Toad and Toadette discover a golden star. I say all this to illustrate just how impressive it is that Captain Toad works at all, much less stands on its own as a fantastic game in what I can only hope is a burgeoning new series. The enjoyable Captain Toad stages in Super Mario 3D World provided a brief glimpse of such a concept, but transforming it into a full-fledged platformer complete with boss stages is a much harder task. How do you make a Mario game without jumping? The classic move is a platforming staple forged in large part by the company's own mascot. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker feels like a design challenge for Nintendo.
