I'd like to start out by saying that this is not a comparison review. I have never played the Wii U version of this game. I won't go on about saying how this is just an "HD" or a "Remastered?" version and try to sound all edgy and witty; and use big words, so you can believe I'm a super pro writer. I'm not going to point out the obvious; you already know that the Switch is portable.
I got this game, because it's completely new to me, and I wanted to use the excuse of "oh I got it for my kid", when in reality, I got it for myself; thinking that my kid will like it. Since my kid is at the cousin's residence, I took the initiative and responsibility as a parent to play the game and give my thoughts about the game in general.
As you boot the game, you straight out start the game; there's no title screen, and you're introduced with an isometric-like small little world, with Toadette signalling at you to begin your journey. As you follow her, directions are given to you on screen, showing you how to play the game. The first thing that you'll do is follow Toadette. As you do this, the game will tell you to use the right analog stick, to navigate the camera. Naturally, you'd use the left analog stick to walk. To my discovery, you can also rotate the camera using the L and R shoulder buttons, but this will not give you the total navigation experience, as the analog stick. Once you acquire the item that's in this level, you will eventually be introduced with a cut scene,and the title screen, which you might have been expecting. It will then officially allow you to begin the game. Toad does move slow enough for no "oopsies", and of course you can make him run by holding the B button we all are familiar with.
The first course is rather simple and for good reason; it's still very much of an introductory course. The goal of each course is to find the traditional Star that's found in Mario games. You will encounter several obstacles, to which you'll have to solve, in order to retrieve the treasures. Each of them do become more complicated and challenging, but they're all fun. You'll get a chance to revisit these stages, so you can find all the necessary items, to "100%" the course; so far each course has one star and 3 diamonds that you can find, and certain challenges, like "find the golden mushroom", in course 1. Once you finish the level, you'll be introduced with your best coin run, and the date, when you cleared the stage; this is all presented to you in a nice book-like menu.
As a father, I say this is good clean fun and humor; (Toad will fall asleep, if you stay idle for a while). It's a game for all ages; it's beautifully made with rich, bright colors and cute NPC (none playable characters) and enemies. If you like puzzle, and Mario themed games, then this game is right for you.
Overall, I consider the game a stress free and cute game for people of all ages. I'll be continuing my analysis of the game, and see how far I can go, with all the great challenges that a player will have a chance to face. The great thing about this game is that you're not completely required to finish all the challenges, or acquire all the gems. You can simply casually play through the game, and collect the main star items in each course. As of right now, it doesn't seem mandatory to collect everything but the star. Thank you for your time, and hope you enjoy the game yourself; I mean, hope you purchase the game for your child. (Shhh, your secret is safe with me.)

Captain Toad possui somente um modo de jogo, que é composto de várias fases. Cada uma tem uma estrela e três joias para serem coletadas. Chegar a estrela é o objetivo principal, mas outras funções são necessárias para desbloquear mais fases.
A forma com que esses níveis foram desenvolvidos tornam a experiência muito divertida e desafiadora. Em vários momentos, é necessário evitar chegar a estrela para conseguir desvendar todos os segredos que um nível específico apresenta.
Se você já jogou os níveis Adventures of Captain Toad, deve saber o que esperar do gameplay. Ao contrário dos outros games da franquia Mario, o jogador não possui a habilidade de pular. Apesar disso, é possível cair das plataformas sem nenhum perigo. Como um elemento tão tradicional foi tirado, novas formas de navegar o nível precisaram ser pensadas.
Para conseguir completar os níveis, é necessário usar o controle para girar a câmera em torno da fase. Os novos ângulos revelam segredos e caminhos escondidos. O senso de descoberta de cada nível é muito satisfatório. Com ele, os jogadores passam a ter a vontade de explorar ao máximo cada um dos cenários.
Infelizmente, o gameplay apresenta alguns problemas. Em geral, a câmera é bem implementada. Mas, nos níveis finais, o posicionamento do protagonista não fica claro.
Graficamente, o jogo é sensacional. O estilo visual charmoso e divertido, que também está a mostra em Captain Toad, já era esperado. Porém, o destaque real está na estética dos níveis. Cada um apresenta um tema diferente, dando uma diversidade visual muito interessante. O jogo também mostra o poder gráfico do Switch, apresentando cenários detalhados e cores vibrantes.
O som cumpre bem a proposta. Porém, não se destaca tanto quanto os gráficos. Captain Toad e Toadette têm vozes clássicas, falando poucas palavras ao longo do jogo. A trilha sonora é agradável e aumenta a imersão.
CONCLUSÃO:
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker é um ótimo jogo: desafiador e divertido em todos os momentos. Alguns pontos específicos podem atrapalhar, mas não chegam a estragar a experiência. Para os fãs das fases originais do Super Mario 3D World, o game vale a pena!
