I sort of bought this for the kids, but I knew I'd like it too. If you like the Mario Galaxy series you'll love this, with inventive little puzzles to solve and no “argh I'm going to die in a panic!” moments it's a fun way to unwind.

I played quite a lot of this but i did get slightly bored but got back into it again it and finished right through except the finale (you will know when you get there ^_-) Fun little game, thought the game was short to begin with but there are quite a bit more levels than first thought which was good.
If you've played Super Mario 3D World (SM3DW), then you should be familiar with the gameplay of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.
Guide Captain Toad (or Toadette) through more than 65 self-contained mini worlds to find stars and gems. The catch is you can't jump of those pesky Goombas or Piranha Creepers to get rid of them.
There are a lot of ‘aha!’ moments when you finally crack the level or find that elusive super gem. Although there is no couch co-op mode, the person who wasn't playing found themselves highly engaged in the game anyway.
My only gripe is that it takes two menu interactions more than necessary to restart a level if you mess it up.
If you have a save file for SM3DW, or have the Toad Amiibo, you get to unlock bonus levels, goals or extra lives.
Overall: Fun and adorable puzzle game playable in bite-sized chunks with a high replay value and choice music. Another worthy addition to your game library.
The intrepid Captain Toad sets off on his own adventure for the very first time through a wide variety of tricky, enemy-infested, maze-like stages to find hidden gems and nab elusive gold stars. The pink-pigtailed Toadette is also introduced as a second playable character in portions of the game. Unlike traditional video game heroes, Captain Toad and Toadette don't have any special powers – these tiny heroes can't even jump! Plus, they're terrified of just about everything, but face their adventures head on. Armed with headlights and a can-do attitude, they must make their way through enemy-infested locales like Wild West shanties and Goomba waterparks; each location is bursting with puzzles to solve and secrets to unearth.
Equipped with nothing more than a neck scarf, backpack, and oversized head lamp, Captain Toad finds hidden gems, coins, and power-ups on his way to the gold star at the end of each tricky, trap-filled stage. Captain Toad isn't particularly fast or strong, he can't jump, and he has no super powers; but he knows that sometimes it's all about wits and perspective. Twist the camera to reveal hidden locations and other secrets. The Wii U GamePad offers a closer view of the dangers and hidden items in each maze, and its gyro controls can also be used to peer around. Captain Toad's world is brimming with life, with dangerous enemies, tricky platforms, nasty traps, and secrets to uncover. Each stage is its own puzzle to solve, and littered throughout are hidden items in hard-to-reach places. Can you help our tiny adventurer survive to find them all?
