About.png


Captain Toad, the leader of the famous Toad Brigade, and Toadette take turns playing rescuer and rescue as they venture forth through pitfall-laden courses in pursuit of the Power Star. Wingo and a legion of pesky foes stand in their way.

Turn it, twist it, lift it, shift it
You can find treasure in the unlikeliest places! There are 70+ courses in the game, and each has its own special features. Manipulate the tiny stages using the Joy-Con™ controllers to explore every nook and cranny in the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

A surprise around every turn
Each world is a maze full of tricks and traps to solve on the way to treasure—especially the coveted Power Star at the end of every stage. Keep reaching for the stars to move the adventure from challenge to challenge!

Whack, waddle, pluck
Captain Toad can't jump, but you can use the Joy-Con controllers to help him pluck (and chuck) turnips, run from enemies, and explore each world from different angles.

I keep reading Captain Toad as Captain Choad and Chaplain Chad. Which would be pretty good Nintendo games, you hear me, Nintendo?

This game was a hidden gem on the Wii U. It's awesome that so many new players will get to experience this fun, charming, and challenging little game!

I played this to 100% on the Wii U, so I won't be getting it at launch on Switch, but I'll definitely be grabbing it somewhere down the line (a good eShop sale price).

How many hours did you put in?
And how much more new content does the switch version have?

I really liked the demo.

I own a switch, I'm trying to find out if the extra 20 bucks is worth it.

I bought this on Wii U and never even played it.

Time to buy the Switch version and hopefully run through it. If it's 15 hours I'll be more than happy.

Cool OT! Game has its flaws, but it's fun and enjoyable! Well priced, too.

Switch version includes 4 new stages based on Mario Odyssey, but those 4 stages replace 4 of the bonus stages from the Wii U version, so the amount of content is pretty much the same.

Co-op play is also included on Switch, which is nice. I've heard there is a new camera option, too, which should make things a little more comfortable.

The Wii U version's amiibo content, which added hide-and-seek missions into each level, is also included without requiring amiibo.

So all-in-all...there's not much different/new here! Solid title whether you play it on Wii U or on Switch, though.

Always been intrigued by its concept, gfx look stunning, my only worry is that the puzzles will be too easy.

Are there some really good head scratchers ?

I honestly don't remember how long I put into it... Maybe 8-10 hours? There might be other posters who have a more fresh memory of the game.

As far as I understand, the new content on Switch are Mario Odyssey levels that replace the Mario 3D World ones. Again, I defer to others for clarification on the quantity.

Why replace instead of just adding the world's?

Can't justify a second purchase of this but I would definitely recommend the game to puzzle fans. Some of the levels can be quite challenging on the back end of the game, but overall it is a fairly chilled out and cute little game that I'm sure kids and adults can both enjoy.

I keep asking this but can't seem to find an answer - can I turn off the gyro camera? I found it incredibly frustrating in the demo and it turned me off the game.

What's the deal with Toadette in this game? There's no co-op mode where you both get a character right?

I was always interested in this game since it was released for Wii U as I really like puzzle games. I'm actually really excited to finally get to play it.

Tempted, I have the Wii U version but never finished it....the smarter decision would be to just play through that copy. But....

I 100%d the WiiU version. That means there is no point in me getting this right? RIGHT!?!?!
