    The five new levels are excellent additions to the game’s collection of puzzle box dioramas, although they do nothing to change the formula. The remaining 13 challenges aren’t as worthwhile, and it wasn’t very fulfilling to trek back to remixed levels just to hunt Boos and collect crown shards. The inexpensive DLC is fairly priced, at least, even if you’re only interested in the novel areas. Just don’t go looking for a substantially game-changing experience, but rather a solid expansion of what made the original so great.

    Thanks to the light (but sometimes rather dazzling) cooperative help of Toadette and a few level design jewels, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker gets even more brillant with this DLC, somehow too episodically though. Its crown of puzzle-platformer king remains nevertheless absolutely deserved.

    Mostly directed at people playing in 2-player-co-op, which I didn't know before (I bought it together with the main game). If you're on yourMostly directed at people playing in 2-player-co-op, which I didn't know before (I bought it together with the main game). If you're on your own, it's obviously not as much fun, and the two Toads don't always control like you would like them to. It would have been nice to be able to put them in different formations (side-by-side, in a row) with the push of a button instead of having to line them up at walls.

    This DLC also doesn't really contain much new content, it's mostly just remixes of stages from the main game where you either collect crown fragments under time pressure or hunt Boo-Hoos with your headlamp(s). Oh, I forgot, you also get to replay that sequence from the main game where Toad rides the red dragon about ten times and it's always the same. Why? Coin challenges would've been more fun (preferrably new ones) instead of an auto-scroller where you're invincible and just mash A and move up and down for thirty seconds.

    I'm still giving it a 6 because of its very fair price tag, and because it's probably lots more fun with a second player. However, if you're looking for single-player content, you can skip this one, unless you really just cannot get enough of Captain Toad.    … Full Review »

    Honestly, for that price it's definitely worth it. I recommend you to get it digitally with the base game.
