Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS): Difference between revisions

'''''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''''' is a puzzle platform for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]]. They are prequels to ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' instead of ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' unlike [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker|the Wii U version of the game]]. This game is the fourth game starring [[Toad]] as the main protagonist, the first being ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' that was released fifteen years prior, ''[[Kinopo Live]]'' that was released fourteen years prior, and the Wii U version of the game that was released four years prior.

==Differences==

*Due to hardware limitations, some of the bonus objectives in the Nintendo 3DS version of the game are changed, such as the one in [[Poison Canal Cannon Run]] being changed from "Cleared course with 4 Toadettes!" to "Found the hidden Gold Mushroom!".

*Futhermore, the 3DS version uses the ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' engine and runs at 30fps in comparision to the Wii U and Switch versions, using the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' engine, running at 60fps.

*In the Wii U version, the Bonus Episode features stages in locations from ''Super Mario 3D World''. The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS versions replace these stages with ones based in kingdoms from ''Super Mario Odyssey''.

**To reflect this, the Episode 3 ending differs. In the Wii U version, the introduction cutscene of ''Super Mario 3D World'' plays after the credits, followed by a scene of Captain Toad entering a Clear Pipe to the Sprixie Kingdom. In the Switch and 3DS versions, the ending instead leads into ''Super Mario Odyssey'', with Captain Toad running toward the Odyssey in the Sand Kingdom.

**Unlike the ''Super Mario 3D World'' stages, the ''Super Mario Odyssey'' stages contain Super Gems.

*Captain Toad's eyes in the Nintendo 3DS version are larger than in the Wii U or Nintendo Switch versions.

*The Nintendo Switch version features multiplayer, as well as the paid DLC Special Episode. These features are absent from both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions.

 

==Story==

[[File:Captain toad intro.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|Wingo lifting Toadette and the Power Star.]]

[[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] are out treasure hunting, climbing a structure to get a [[Power Star]]. They soon after notice feathers falling from the sky when [[Wingo]], a large bird who's described as "a lover of all things shiny", grabs the star. Toadette attempts to retrieve it while Captain Toad is temporarily knocked over. Wingo makes off with both the star and Toadette, leaving the Captain on his own. Captain Toad must then go through stages collecting Power Stars to reach Wingo and save Toadette.

 

Once Captain Toad reaches Wingo's fortress, they fight, and after Wingo is defeated, Toadette is rescued and they continue treasure hunting. However, Wingo returns to steal their treasure again and ends up capturing Captain Toad, allowing Toadette to journey on a solo adventure. After another long journey, Toadette saves him, although immediately afterward Wingo reappears, captures Toadette again and blows Captain Toad away.

 

The Captain awakes in a dark cave, where he finds another Power Star snatched away by Wingo. Toad pursues to a large mine. Meanwhile, Toadette escapes Wingo and goes off to reunite with Captain Toad, though is captured again soon after. Wingo then takes her to the same tower, while Captain Toad arrives. After a final fight, Wingo is truly defeated, and the two Toads ride off in a minecart as the credits play.

After the credits, the minecart goes to the [[Sand Kingdom]] and Captain Toad notices the [[Odyssey]] flying, and chases after it, leaving Toadette in the minecart.

 

 

==amiibo==

Like the Wii U version of the game, this game in compatible with [[amiibo]]. But, by scanning the Toad amiibo, instead of using it for hide and seek, it can be used for playing a level while invincible, similar to the effects when scanning a [[Mario]] amiibo in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. In addition, the Wedding Mario, [[Peach]], or [[Bowser]] amiibo unlocks the Super Mario Odyssey-themed courses early in the game. Any other amiibo can give Captain Toad [[1-UP Mushroom]]s.

==Controls==

The Nintendo Switch version of the game can be played without the touch screen in TV mode and with the touch screen in handheld mode.

*Run/pluck/throw - {{button|3ds|A}} / {{button|3ds|B}}

This mode is only playable using two Joy-Con controllers. Joy-Con (L) is always assigned to Player 1, and Joy-Con (R) is assigned to Player 2. When switching the game to or from this mode, all controllers currently synced to the Switch will turn off. Attempting to sync another controller will fail. Syncing a controller in the Home Menu and then going back into the game will turn the newly synced controller off. Wired controllers will also appear desynced.

'''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.

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.

==Update History==

A "Restart" button was added to the pause screen or every level. Restarting a level returns the player to their starting point or latest checkpoint, resets the timer and coin counter to 0, but retains all Super Gems they collected. Restarting does not cost lives. If the player restarts a level after a checkpoint, the timer will not be displayed and saved as their best time.
