Okay, is that your least favorite to most favorite list or vice versa ha ha (not that liking one more takes away from the other).
It's the order of "you must not wait any more seconds to play this".

I need to take screenshot from that game too!Nintendo's art style is simply fantastic.
I ain't even mad their games are 720 when they look like this
It's so pretty and those maps are so clever.

'Bonus' as in main-menu button 'bonus'? That gets unlocked automatically the instant the game finds a SM3DW save file on the console.

All gems, all level objectives.
Take note of the stamp emblem on the last pages of the Bonus book.
Thanks guys. I have access to the SM3DW level, the toad crew level and a couple of mummy level. There are lots of blank pages left. Not sure if I will get a stamp everywhere to unlock those. Is it worth it? Do I need to get a stamp in each and every level to unlock something or do I unlock stuff with every x stamps I collect?

Started playing this today and had to stop to charge the gamepad. I'm halfway through chapter three (with all unlocked bonus levels also done) and gotten stamps and checkmarks on everything so far. It's incredibly cute, incredibly fun to play and the stages are all unique and fun to explore, but I feel like it's a bit on the easy side for now. Expecting some good postgame content like 3D World, otherwise I might be a little underwhelmed..

What in the shit at the
in level 13. I don't even know how I noticed it.
Wait...are there
? O.O
tiny ass 8bit Luigi
Wait...are there
tiny Luigis in every level
Yeah, there are quite a few hidden here and there.
There's one in
Plucky Pass Beginnings (first level) behind the wood arrow sign
What happens after you finish the Mummy me forever stage? I noticed there were four blank pages after it.
I found the Toad brigade on Kamek Keep level beyond frustrating, especially whilst trying to grab the 240 coins. Kamek always ended up hitting a Toad at the back of the que grr.

pro tip: grab all the coins first, then double back and get the toads
sounds like you already finished it though lol

This game just gets better and better.
You get a crown for both Captain Toad and Toadette + those 3 Coins Galore levels you can play as much as you want.
Well that's kind of a let down.
Mummy Forever Maze is the only thing I've got left to do now. Don't know if and when I'll ever have the patience to do it. Oh and the par times to beat too, another thing I don't know if I can be bothered to do.
Overall I really enjoyed the game. Definitely a solid 8/10. Trying to pin point why it didn't get a 9 is hard to do. I guess my main gripes are the zoom levels, repeated boss fights, lacklustre bonus levels. The creativity and charm and sheer fun in the levels are second to none. I do wish there were more, it felt like I finished the first three episodes too quickly. Some more challenging, and bigger levels in the bonus section would have been nice.

One thing is wish the game had is more variety in the type of levels. The train, mine cart and dragon boss levels are few and far between. Should've been far more different stages like those.

You can hit Kamek with the key, gives you free reign over the whole level afterwards.

Pretty done with the Mummy maze now. Just haven't got the patience for it. I almost threw the gamepad earlier. Got to room 28 and 3000 coins. Enough.
You need 4 fucking hands to control the game in this mode; Moving toad, holding run, moving the camera, and touching enemies on the screen. It's a ridiculously horrible control scheme.

Just to be sure... you know you can use ZR to run, right? It doesn't make tapping enemies any easier, but for the times you aren't doing that it's obviously a big help.

Possibly underwhelmed by a game you're not nearly done with and just played for 6-8 hours straight?

Do you get anything for beating all of the par times? I just have Toad Brigade and Mummy-Me levels left to complete if not.
Little stars on the books. That's it.

Underwhelmed was perhaps the incorrect word, rather a bit let down by the fact that it never got challenging like I'm used to in a typical Mario game. I remember the last Toad level in 3D world being more challenging than any level in the main levels of Captain Toad for example.
I finished all three chapters (plus a bunch of bonus levels) with 7.5 hours in the activity log (but didn't do any speedruns). Despite the easy difficulty, I really enjoyed it (and I usually don't binge-play games anymore) and would like to see more of the Captain. It also managed to dethrone MK8 as the best looking game on the system for me. Looking forward to going back for the rest of the bonus levels now!

Right out of the gate the level design is better and more interesting than in 3D World.

You can also run to the top and "finish" it without collecting the star, then heading back down to get the coins you need.

I cleared Mummy-Me Maze Forever today. It accounted for roughly 4 out of 18 hours logged in the game (I still haven't completed all the challenge times), but that number is deceptive. The stage isn't actually harder than something like SMG2's Perfect Run (which took me 2-3 hours); it just takes longer to clear just because good, solid attempts take so long to get through.
Some tips for those who are having trouble:
- There is definitely no need to run around collecting every coin to meet the bonus objective.
- It is very likely you will need to use the touch screen to stun enemies to push through some of the later stages. I found the most comfortable and precise solution to be what I've done in Pikmin 3 since stylus controls were patched in: use the stylus (so you don't obstruct your vision) and manipulate the camera by tapping the right stick with your ring finger. It takes some practice, but by the time you clear this challenge you won't be short on practice. Running doesn't actually help very much (except against the Chargin' Chucks). If you have trouble switching between the stylus and whichever run button you like to use, prioritize the stylus; it's what will get you out of trouble.
- Checkpoints are at
. Don't use the hammer to pluck everything; pluck first, then grab the hammer and beeline straight into the next stage, where it will remain with you until the timer runs out.
- Exits are always placed
. If you take a quick diagonal view of the stage at a low camera angle when you start, before the clones start spawning, you can usually see which corridors you should be aiming for, so you don't get trapped in dead ends.
- Don't hug the wall or turn corners too tightly. (This was the leading cause of death for me, including a rather embarrassing one on my penultimate attempt, where I ran into a corner and was struck from behind... on level 49.)
Some tips for those who are having trouble:
- There is definitely no need to run around collecting every coin to meet the bonus objective.
You get nearly 2000 coins if you reach the very end, which means you only need an average of 60-70 coins per stage. Once you are in the 30s or 40s the piles are so consistently large that it's no trouble at all to do this on your way to the exit.

at the corner of the stage opposite your starting point

It will disappear one you play a couple of more levels.
One thing I've always thought about Nintendo is that they don't really award their players much for completing overly difficult tasks, such as the Mummy Me Maze. It's all well and good 'feeling' the sense of accomplishment, but I'd prefer some kind of award that's better than just a freaking stamp on a book. If you told me I got a few really cool levels unlocked for completing that Maze, I might put more of an effort into finishing it. I suppose taking a screenshot and putting it on Miiverse and showing off to your friends can be nice.
It reminds me of that 2D Mario game on the 3DS where your award for collecting a million coins was a new title screen. Thanks Nintendo.

The maze is the reward for the maze.
It's reminiscent of old score-based maze/puzzle arcade games. It's the only part of the game with replay value imo.

That is also my main source of annoyance in SM3DW's Captain Toad levels - I have a gazillion of hours in that game, and I'm still getting basic control hints in the middle of my goddam screen, just because I haven't played a CT level in a while. WTF, nintendo!
This is the best kind of reward

The best kind of reward can be seen in nintendo's own Pushmo World and Pictobits - beating levels grants you (directly or indirectly, via accumulating currency) delicious tracks for an in-game jukebox.

You gotta
fall off a certain ledge from a much higher part of the level and land directly on the raised part with the mushroom. The part you fall off of is made of wooden planks, I believe.

listen to the mad man
For me it took me ~16 hours to 100% the game besides the last level, and then another 6-7 to beat the last level.

I finally beat the Mummy-Me Maze Forever stage, and got stars on the Bonus book to 100% the game tonight. Feels great!
I absolutely loved Captain Toad from start to finish. It has that Nintendo polish and difficulty curve I enjoy so much in the Super Mario 3D games.
Check out the cool Captain Toad plush!
