The game ends with a nice touch for fans of the Mario series too so it’s something worth seeing through to the end. Said twist gets repeatedly used throughout the entirety of the game, but it’s still a nice way to superficially keep things fresh as you get further and further into Toad’s adventure. While the story in Captain Toad is not necessarily the reason why you’ll be playing the game at all, it does have a nice twist or so throughout the game. Understandably concerned, Captain Toad embarks on an expedition to find Wingo and save Toadette. Keen to have her treasure after (presumably) such a long expedition, Toadette grabs onto the Power Star only to be whisked away by Wingo. One day, they come across yet another treasure, a Power Star, but before they can take it away a bird named Wingo grabs it. Toad and Toadette are travelling throughout the “world” finding treasure. It opens with an adorable predicament and ends adorably. But there was still an air of scepticism around the game even for players who had experienced Captain Toad previously – just how would Nintendo expand these small bite size levels into an entire game? And more importantly, make it worth it? Pretty easily actually, but a good amount of that has to do with the price which feels just right.Ĭaptain Toad is almost always adorable. So I guess you could say I went into Captain Toad more sceptical than most would be. You see, I never actually played Super Mario 3D World without friends so I was never able to actually play those levels. I just assumed they were putting out yet another Mario game but instead of Mario, we had Toad. This is probably embarrassing to admit but I had no idea who Captain Toad was when Nintendo announced the game back at E3 last year.
