- All said and done, this is a great pick up for a Switch owner, whether they are looking at playing it by themselves, or multiplayer. A cheap asking price of $40 only adds to the general impulse-buy nature of the game. It’s a great, charming, fun to play and replay puzzle game, and will probably become as comfort food for your Switch.
Pramath · Jul 30, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I feel a bit bad that Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker‘s initial launch didn’t go swimmingly. Especially since it wasn’t really the game’s fault. However, everything is better now that it’s on a console people actually own. If you’ve never played Captain Toad, you’re missing out on one of the smartest puzzle games in Nintendo’s catalog. If you have, well… it’s Captain Toad. You can play it again and it’ll be just as fun.
Samuel Guglielmo · Jul 28, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - I just wonder what is next… a port of Super Mario 3D World, or an Odyssey-filled Treasure Tracker sequel? In any case, nearly four years later I still find myself “ready for adventure”! If you missed this game on Wii U (and far too many did) don’t let it pass you by again. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is great on any Nintendo system. Don’t take my word for it, try the demo for yourself.
Trevor Gould · Jul 26, 2018 Reviewed on 3DSRead full review - Controls are really my biggest complaint but, overall, the game is still fantastic and worth playing. The worlds are vibrantly-colored, the courses are fun, and there is plenty of challenge in store for every type of player. If you’ve been looking for a relaxing puzzle-platformer to play in between your other Switch titles, you won’t find a better one than this.
Justin Sharp · Jul 26, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Just like his grand adventure, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is simply a delight to experience in the unique and puzzling world he explores. Those who had the original on Wii U might not get as much enjoyment the second time around due to the small amount of new content, but this is a must-have puzzle title for anyone who hasn’t picked it up before or is just desperate to have it on the go.
Kirstin Swalley · Jul 25, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Overall then, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a diamond of a game and a welcome addition to the ever growing titles available for the Nintendo Switch. The puzzles are fun and challenging as well as diverse and creative. If you’re a fan of puzzle/platformer games, then Captain Toad on Switch comes highly recommended. Recruit a friend for even more fun. Just makes sure they’re ready for an adventure!
Becca Smith · Jul 19, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Whichever version you go with, you're still going to be in for a great time. Everything about Captain Toad is overwhelmingly charming. The soundtrack is solid, with plenty of levels having their own unique themes, as well as a few with familiar tunes from previous games in the Mario franchise thrown in for good measure.
Dan Roemer · Jul 19, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Captain Toad is a cute little dude, but he is no baby. His quest full of danger and discovery can be enjoyed by anyone in search of a few dozen great puzzles. Not much has changed here, but that includes Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker being a must-play.
Adam Abou-Nasr · Jul 19, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a faithful port of the Wii U puzzle game — one that makes no compromises for the entirely handheld experience. Despite some missed opportunities that Nintendo could have latched onto, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a game that shouldn’t be missed for anyone looking for a relaxed mental challenge.
Lou Contaldi · Jul 17, 2018 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a joy to play. It oozes happiness, it makes me smile, and I absolutely love it. It’s a perfect summer game for the Nintendo Switch. Whether you played the Wii U version, or you missed out like me, you should absolutely pick it up. For $40, it’s a wonderful treat and I love seeing quality older Wii U titles get their day on the much more popular Nintendo Switch.
