These are ostensibly optional, but eventually, you'll need to use these gems to start unlocking later levels.Ĭaptain Toad was made in a hurry, using a gameplay conceit and assets from the main Mario series. Along the way, you can pick up three gems that are hidden (sometimes barely, occasionally very well) inside each level.
Some levels turn out to be so simple that they're likely to provoke a "Oh, that's it?" when you make it to the goal and pick up the Power Star. The briefer and trickier these challenges are, the better. These levels were interesting, often challenging, little puzzles that made for nice little mental breaks from the fast-action Mario levels. You've got to figure out how to climb up and down them gathering treasures and avoiding enemies, since you can't jump on their heads. If you played Super Mario 3D World, you'll remember some bonus levels in which Captain Toad-unable to jump because of the heavy burden of his backpack full of treasure-makes his way around tiny cubic levels. That all changes with this week's release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, to round out the Wii U's 2014 lineup. And while every other Super Mario supporting character-Yoshi, Luigi, Princess Peach, even freaking Wario-ended up getting their own starring role in a later series, Toad was always the bridesmaid, never the bride. 2 was pulling up weeds, and he was the worst at everything else. Of all of Mario's companions, has anyone had to take as much crap as Toad? Ever since the first time he let you know that the Princess was in another castle, Toad has became synonymous with disappointment. Honestly, I'm just happy Toad finally has his own game.
