I got this game for my 5 year old son. He is pretty good at games but this one is a little more difficult for him and he gets frustrated. I however, love to play it because it is like a giant puzzle. He likes to give me a turn when it gets a little too hard and cheers me on the whole time.

After daycare, since a few weeks , my 3 yo keeps telling me that she wants to see the "mushrooms" so once a day I play for about half an hour. She understands that the goal is to catch the stars and she likes to choose the next map. Personally, I enjoy the game and I would have played anyway alone.

Available exclusively on Nintendo Switch It hurts to be revisiting Captain Toad on . Back when it released on Wii U in 2014 I enjoyed its simplistic but engaging gameplay; finding an adorable game that overflowed with charm.

Puzzles are unique and varied; A visual delight; Plenty of content

Clunky controls get in the way; Lacking in terms of new content; Missing levels from original release

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is the latest in the line of recent ports from the Wii U to the Nintendo Switch. In many other cases, with a console so early in its life cycle, most would come under heavy scrutiny for having so many re-releases already.

Colourful; vibrant and charming visuals; Cleaver camera manipulation; Fun and addictive gameplay; Two-Player mode and Super Mario Odyssey levels; Captain Toad deserves this second chance on Switch

No Super Mario 3D World levels

One of the hidden gems of the Wii U's games line-up comes to both Switch and 3DS, and it's just as magical as ever.

A great idea that is elegant in its simplicity, and yet full of variety and clever twists; Lots of unlockable content and hidden secrets; Gorgeous graphics and sound

It's not very long and the difficultly level never quite advances as far as you'd think; Playing on a TV creates some control problems

There's adorable, and then there's Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. This is a game where you have to guide the interminably cute Captain Toad through perfectly formed vignettes that you rotate and inspect in order to solve the family-friendly puzzles that are put in your way.

Beautiful visuals; Endearing characters; Fun puzzles; Perfect for on-the-go

Docked mode isn't as intuitive as undocked; Very gentle increase in challenge; Relatively short

Nintendo seems intent on recycling the strong first-party titles that were originally released on Wii U, bringing them to the Nintendo Switch, and it's easy to see why. Their previous console had lots of quality software, but only a fraction of the potential audience on Switch ever got to experience...

This is a relaxed game that on the surface is cute, simple and pretty. However, there are many tricky and clever puzzles later on, and the final level is evil!! But it's a great game. Tight physics, stunning graphics, and clever intuitive ways to play! Many hours of fun, a Switch must have

Back in 2014, Toad, of Super Mario fame, starred in his very first game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, for the Wii U. The game received very good reviews – here at COGconnected it received an 87 . Unfortunately, the Wii U was not a huge success.

Beautiful visuals; Captain Toad and Toadette are cute as ever; Fun and clever platform puzzler

Minimal new content; Tacked on two-player mode

When I initially played through Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Nintendo Wii U, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel that it'd be better suited to a portable console the whole way through.
