'''''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''''' is a puzzle platforming game available for both the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]], both versions being released on July 13, 2018. They are both ports of the [[Wii U]] [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker|game of the same name]]. Rather than providing a side story corresponding to the events of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and featuring select levels from said game like the original, these ports share a side story with the events of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', featuring levels based on kingdoms from that game. The ports retain many of the features of the Wii U version, while adding new content via updates, including a two-player mode and paid DLC expansion explaining the origins of the [[Super Crown]].

The plot of both ports stays true to the storyline of the original game—[[Captain Toad]] must set out on an expedition to rescue [[Toadette]] from [[Wingo]] while collecting various [[Power Star]]s, hindered only by his inability to [[jump]].

The Nintendo Switch version of the game can be played without the touch screen in Tabletop or TV mode and with the touch screen in Handheld mode. However, it cannot be played with touch controls alone, as the game mandates a controller for selecting levels and for moving Toad.

'''Adventure for Two''' was added in the 1.1.0 update on February 13, 2019. This mode allows both players to control a Toad Brigade Member, with Player 1 controlling the assigned character for the level, and in all episodes but [[Special Episode]], Player 2 controlling a purple palette swap of Captain Toad. In Special Episode, Player 2 controls Toadette.

This mode allows both players to control a Toad Brigade Member, with Player 1 controlling the assigned character for the level, and Player 2 controlling Toadette in the [[Special Episode]] and a purple palette swap of Captain Toad in all other episodes.


Any control method is available to both players in this mode, as well as a sideways Joy-Con. Notably, the button to rotate the camera in this mode was changed for the sideways Joy-Con configuration, and a new button was added to activate the cursor. Additionally, both players can [[Bubble]] themselves to float above the other player's head, until they wish to pop out and continue playing.

When a player loses a life in this mode, they are sent into the Bubble. If a player is in a bubble or is in the process of losing a life as the other player does the same, the players must start the level over. If the players are too far apart from each other, one will automatically be warped to the other's location via bubble.

If either player is using a Spinwheel and the other approaches another Spinwheel, they cannot use it until the player actively using a Spinwheel steps off.

==Items and objects==
Most items and obstacles from the original game reappear, with the exception of [[Green Star]]s, [[Key Coin]]s, and [[Potted Piranha Plant]]. [[Propeller Platform]]s are absent in the Nintendo Switch version, and are replaced by [[Lift]]s due to the system's lack of a microphone. [[Power Moon]]s appear in the levels based off of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', and function the same as [[Power Star]]s.

With the addition of the [[Special Episode]] in the Nintendo Switch version, two new objects are added, those being [[Shiny Crown]]s and [[Crown Chip]]s, as well as a variant of the [[Super Gem]]s that is colored deep blue with white eyes that functions similarly to [[Moon Coin]]s, in that they do not add to the number of gems needed to unlock levels.

Still smart, prettier than ever and, in retrospect, genuinely important as part of Nintendo’s modern history, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a rare example of a game that actually feels better for being a few years old."''

|''"Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a hidden gem from the Wii U era that's been given a new lease of life on the Nintendo Switch, and rightly so. New levels and fresh multiplayer are welcome inclusions but it's a bit of a shame that we've lost four levels as a result – and for no apparent reason. Still, all being said, this is a wonderful and gorgeous puzzler fit for all ages, and one which you should definitely experience if you're yet to."''
