Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a 2014 puzzle-platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS in 2018 with additional content. It is a spin-off of the Super Mario series and both a prequel to Super Mario 3D World (2013) and Super Mario Odyssey (2017). The game stars Captain Toad and Toadette as they complete levels, defeat enemies and save each other from the antagonist Wingo. Each level is contained within a miniature diorama-like environment that requires puzzle-solving and platforming challenges to complete. The player also uses the Wii U GamePad to rotate the camera and reveal new information and interact with the environment.

Where Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 81ahead of 39% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 50ahead of 88% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
