    AT least Nintendo had the common sense to not charge full price for this game. 2 years of premium prices and recycled content... that's what you got. If you already played TT there is "absolutely" no reason to play this game, and once again Nintendo does nothing to honor the million plus that already bought it. They are getting a copy and paste title.

    It was an OKAY game until the last level, where you had to collect 5000 coins. Nintendo, ARE YOU **** KIDDING ME?! ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT THAT? Really, this can't be true. That game is a waste of time, don't buy it, it isn't worth the price.
    Even as a free to play game it wouldn't deserve a higher score than 5/10.

    Completely boring brain dead for adults “puzzle” game, and a game that ISN’T really a puzzle game because minor exploration is all you need to do to clear every “puzzle” level.
    And a fraction more exploration is all you need to gather the 3 diamond optional requirements.
    There’s virtually no intelligence of thought required if you’re above 8 years old to finish this game. So that    Completely boring brain dead for adults “puzzle” game, and a game that ISN’T really a puzzle game because minor exploration is all you need to do to clear every “puzzle” level.

    There’s virtually no intelligence of thought required if you’re above 8 years old to finish this game. So that disqualifies it as a though-necessary “puzzle” game.

    Nintendo cultists once again overhyping Nintendo games, thus insuring we keep getting this mediocrity.    … Expand

    Fun, relaxing game. Works well with a younger co-op partner. One unforgivable issue with the game is that the on-screen prompt displayed when using the wheel/crank frequently obstructs your view completely. This usually occurs at difficult spots like during the dragon levels, which are already hard to orient yourself.

    Main principles of all 80 levels are similar, but thanks to dozens of ideas introduced to spice up the gameplay there is no room for boredom in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. [09/2018, p.65]

    Worth playing if you missed it in 2014, but this Switch port is disappointing and not its best version. [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 62]

    Overall, Treasure Tracker is a real gem of a game. It’s also beautiful; I was stunned by it on Wii U, but the visuals have only gotten better on Switch. It’s bright, cheery, and wildly creative from an aesthetic standpoint. Each stage is like a diorama, making the game feel like the player is interacting with toys, rather than lines of code. The soundtrack isn’t especially varied, likely because most stages don’t require a lot of time to beat, but I’d have appreciated a few more tracks to spice things up.
