    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a cute little puzzle game. Each level is fun, individual and offers a little challenge. One point of criticism, however, is the implementation of the touch elements, which makes you realize that the game is actually a Wii U game. Otherwise, the game is great!

    A collection of fun inventive puzzles with colourful and polished graphics and a cute story make this an instant classic. The diorama style levels make this perfect for handheld play, each with interesting mechanics and secrets to discover. At a lower price than most Nintendo games this game delivers a lot of value with some great DLC offering even more levels.

    It's a very cute game with a lot of charm. The graphics are also very good for a Switch game. The designs and enemies from Mario 3D World and Odyssey are incorporated very well. I like that it's not just as easy as its childish design suggests, but also has hard challenges for those who want to face them. On the other side, I'd wish for more variety regarding the music.

    An absolutely lovely little puzzle game that anyone can enjoy. Every level is its own little world, meticulously crafted by the developers, reminiscent of a little terrarium. I find myself coming back to this game regularly when I want to relax and work a simple puzzle or two before bed. Perfect for cozy nights inside with blankets and a cup of tea.

    奇诺比奥队长终于当了一把主角，体验马力欧拯救公主（奇诺比珂）的故事。游戏的本质还是解密，几十个小地图，每个都比较短，难度基本都还好，有少数几个关卡打到皇冠还挺难。总体感觉这个游戏是为了奥德赛而准备、甚至可以说是被奥德赛淘汰了的关卡？关卡还是好玩，有的关卡的设计还是可以让人惊讶的。
    奇诺比奥和奇诺比珂两蘑菇没有任何特殊能力，既不能像马力欧那样跳跃、也不能像路易吉那样有好的装备。两只蘑菇只能加速跑、拔出物体和打开关闭头上的探照灯，这在游戏的玩法上少了很多乐趣。
    在剧情上也太无语了，一共三个章节，先是奇诺比奥救奇诺比珂，然后反过来，然后两只蘑菇同心协力，连过场动画很多都一样。 最后还有一个奖励章节，有致敬奥德赛的地图，还有一些是前三章的地图但是换了一种玩法。我玩到奖励章节就没有再玩了。    奇诺比奥队长终于当了一把主角，体验马力欧拯救公主（奇诺比珂）的故事。游戏的本质还是解密，几十个小地图，每个都比较短，难度基本都还好，有少数几个关卡打到皇冠还挺难。总体感觉这个游戏是为了奥德赛而准备、甚至可以说是被奥德赛淘汰了的关卡？关卡还是好玩，有的关卡的设计还是可以让人惊讶的。

    I enjoyed this so much on the Wii U that i bought it again on the Switch. It's just a beautiful, well crafted game that highlights what Nintendo does best. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i was sold. Twice!

    Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is an engaging puzzle game with good level design that has both fun gameplay and is charming all the way.

All the levels are surprisingly unique some better than others, however completing a level 100% isn’t worth it unfortunately there is no reward and the only reward you get is if you beat a very hard level which is locked behind other hard levels kinda baffling for a collective puzzle game. Even if that is the case the game has many unique level design choices that it makes you smile of how creative some levels can be, the soundtrack is supportive as well. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a unique puzzle game that keeps giving new ideas each time you play a level, the charm is always there and it always keeps the game alive, I just wish if completing the levels 100% would have a better rewarding outcome. (Good 3/5) Give It A Try!… Expand

This game's main campaign is pretty darn short, but the run was quite fun. There's quite a bit of extra content to go around like collecting green stars or finding pixel Toads. This is completely optional and is great for dedicated fans. This game has a co-op mode. It actually can be really fun if you have a friend over. I remember pushing my friend off the maps with the touchscreen blocks. This game's music is mostly taken from 3D world, which has a great soundtrack. In conclusion, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a simplistic yet fun puzzle game that a load of casual players can easily enjoy. Have a lovely day/night, folks!… Expand

    Cute and charming all the way through!
    This game is unique in many ways. I'm not a puzzle guy, but this game takes it to another level and just makes almost every puzzle GOOD! Even the easiest, short or hard ones, everything is so charismatic that the "AHA" moments, whether silly or challenging, are very satisfaying.

    Soundtrack is nice, albeit repetitive, but it packs a few cozy and entertaining songs. Sound design goes without saying, since Nintendo always knocks it out of the park on this aspect. Graphics feel "comfortable" and safe, waving from deliciously built levels and some very simple moments, that warmed my heart.

    Still, there are a few things to dislike here. The camera, although mostly 'ok', can become a pain. Controls can feel a little bit stiff, sometimes. Some levels are unnecessarily "big" and this Switch version, overall, might just outstay its welcome. "Boo" levels seem to always drop the ball and the "special" and "bonus" levels lack the variety and creativity from regular chapters. Also, the game is way better when played by couch co-op, since a few stages feel like they were exclusively built for it.

    But the bad aspects of this game does not outweighs the good ones. This is a very accessible, well-crafted and beautifully designed product. It may not be perfect or super creative all the way through, but it's totally worth it.    … Expand

    Game looks good and there are always different puzzles that are challenging, fun, and engaging! This may be a port, but there is a bonus book which has puzzles based off of scenes from Super Mario Odyssey which is really neat. I dislike that the books have the same story line where Toad gets stolen then Toadette and back to Toad. It is just a repetitive storyline.

    Absolutely a great game. Fairly easy puzzles. Not a fan of the bosses but I never am. Level 15 is annoying so I’d skip it if you’re not a perfectionist. Fun game but 82 levels is kinda long. Wish it was shorter. Other than that, worth getting.

    Un plataformas típico de Nintendo con un toque simpático del Capitán Toad junto a Toadette. Han metido actualizaciones que hacen mucho más disfrutable el juego como el modo cooperativo o la realidad virtual. El juego en sí no es muy largo, pero si te dedicas a coleccionar los 3 diamantes y a hacer la misión de cada nivel, da para mucho.

    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.
