Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker |OT| rrrrready for adventure!
- Thread starter kubus
- Start date
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!
Where did you get all that from?

The plush I got from ncsx, the puzzle from Ebay.
I think they gave out that puzzle at the Nintendo World store when the game first came out.

I need this so hard
would also buy an amiibo
Good. I was worried Nintendo pulled another Skyward Sword and I was gonna have to stare at that obnoxious camera message throughout the entire game.
Anyway, I'm loving Captain Toad otherwise. It's so cute. I'm up to the second book of stages.

That's a cool plush. I searched it and see that you can order it from Play-Asia, though it's sold out, but Amazon has it, which can be ordered from somewhere in Japan. I can't find the puzzle though.

can you delete the save file? going into settings would delete everyone's from the console, right?

And if you don't want to get everything you haven't finished it. And if you haven't finished it, how can it be short.

Yo guys. Germany loves Captain Toad. It's #1 in the individual format charts this week (after debuting at #52 a week before its official release due to broken street dates!): http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=146357609&postcount=157
Is there an easy way to discover where the Golden Mushrooms are?
I recently finished all the episodes so now I'll focus to complete the game 100% but Golden Mushrooms are giving me a hard time.
I don't want to google/youtube them just yet but I also don't feel like wasting 20 minutes in every level searching for them :/

I love when enemies chase him and he starts screaming stuff like "Help" lol
None that I can think of. Just make sure your headlamp is on while searching for them.

If it's an open level that you can freely walk around in, make sure to check all camera angles and blow into the mic/rub over the screen to uncover potentially invisible things. Of course you can also do this in linear levels. There's a specific level in book 1 that made me discover this as a very useful thing to do.

Awesome soundtrack too.
Looking for some samples of Toad screaming and found this haha.
I wish he would talk more to the Toads around in some of the levels.

Activating rumble also helps.Usually the golden mushroom is in a part of the level you have no reason to go otherwise.

Those are what always do me in, too.
What worked for me was to sort of snake toward them zigzagging until they lunge and shoot a fireball, then quickly move to the side and zoom past them. It's critical to go past them after they've spat out a fireball because they have a lunging motion when they shoot that can easily hit you in close quarters.
Quick question: are you turning the headlamp off before you get to the Goombas and Shy Guys? It makes those parts much easier.

Started playing the game a couple of days ago. It's so adorable, I love it when you clear the course. Plus, the ability to turn the headlight on and off is awesome! The little details.
No. The headlight helps me see if there is a hole in the wall.
But if it helps keep the goombas from noticing me, then I'll give it a try.

Ok, thanks guys. In that case I'll keep looking.
I won't bother with large levels tho :V

I ended up tapping them which totally forgot you could do.
After 23 hours I've completed everything aside from the challenge times. I'm not sure if I'm going to dive in on those or work on something else first.

I bought this on the eShop on Tuesday and I am blown away by this game.
It's not particularly hard (I'm already at Episode 3), but this game, it just...works.
The puzzles are nice, though I hope they'll get harder.
The presentation is awesome and I really hope that, after the awesome Pikmin Short Movies, there will be some Captain Toad short movies next, because this game has a lot of potential for a CGI animated series or whatever.
The graphics are truly amazing, everything looks basically perfect. Yeah, some can nitpick about the lack of AA or that the resolution is locked at 720p, but that said I don't even notice any jaggies or the lower resolution at all when I play.
It's really nice kicking back for 5 minutes or even an hour or two and just playing this game, because it's so good.
Already one of my GOTY contenders for 2015.

Pro-tip: Tapping on enemies on the gamepad freezes them. It's normally more trouble than it's worth (since you'll have to be moving with left analogue, running with one of the run buttons, babysitting the camera, AND tapping) but it's probably the best strategy for the Black Piranha Plants in MMMF.
Tapping helped me with the Piranha Plants big time, as I could never time it correctly when they shoot out their fireballs whenever I'm close to them.
My tactic was if a plant was in my path, position the camera overhead (I position it to where Toad is running north). Once you're close enough (about 1 block distance away) start tapping. When you're far enough, (another block distance) stop tapping and then adjust your camera however you need to. I did not need to use the run buttons for these guys as long as I kept moving and didn't backtrack.

So I just got this yesterday. It was charming and fun, but I do feel slightly ripped off seeing as I finished the main game in about 5 hrs 45 mins, and I definitely wasn't rushing through them.
I know I still have to go back and 100% everything and do the bonus levels (I've already done about a quarter or third of them which has bumped my playtime up to about 6 hrs 5 mins). Even so, I can't imagine that taking more than another 6 hours, kinda wish I didn't spend $50 AUD on it. :/

I'm on the brink of finishing this (I just have three more Toad Team levels, and Mummy-Me Maze Forever left).
I do feel like £30 was a bit too much for this, but I'm not too bothered, as I plan on selling it as soon as I'm finished with it. I can probably get £25 for it on eBay, and it's not a game I ever see myself playing through again, so £5 to play through this was well worth it.
My only real criticisms (apart from the price):
1) I wish there had been more variety in bosses; there were only two, which were fought two and three times, respectively.
2) No "Restart" option in the pause menu. I honestly can't believe there are still games that fuck this up.
3) Extremely awkward/impossible to move the camera, walk/run, and stun enemies simultaneously, especially if those enemies are chasing you. The level in which you have to bait a Chargin' Chuck into knocking out all the Mudmen was a pain.
Those are minor complaints though. It was still a brilliant game; just short-lived.

Eh?
What I mean is I think it's too expensive for what the game is. Even $40 would be fair, I reckon.
Another complaint, the music was kinda underwhelming. There's about three or four of the new tracks that I really like but the rest was kinda generic to me, and way too many remixes of boring songs (there were so many better tunes to choose from in SM3DW!).
Also, no "The Final Adventures of Captain Toad" remix? That's the best version of his theme song!
There are plenty of good things about it. I found the controls great and intuitive, and the visuals are amazing. The level design is good, if not particularly difficult - although I'm sure some of the bonus objectives I've missed will provide more of a challenge. The final twist was neat but I kind of took it for granted seeing as I had
the SM3DW save file...
Is there really someone who have 100% this game in 12 hours yet?
I'm sitting at 14:19 and I've been working on Mummy Me Maze Forever for... well... forever. It's been at least 3 days and I still can't beat it. (granted, I only play it about twice a day)
And I have done absolutely none of the challenge times.
