Well, if you're the only person who's played the latest game from one of the world's best game studios, then I'd say you're comfortably top of the class.

Yeah, I bought it on launch day at my local gamestop and all their copies were already preordered except one.
Edit: Italy
How about suggesting Captain Toad as a study example for your Game Design class? For example, it's one of the best examples of expanding the concept of a simple idea into a full game.
Everyone who was excited about amiibo support can stop being excited now
The Toad amiibo looks nice though. Wish it were actually a Captain Toad amiibo of course...
yea... toad is not as charming if its not wearing the exploring gear.

I don't know. I was afraid it would be something like Kirby where you get increased stats or just costumes. I, like many others have completely finished the game. If they keep track of finding the icons you find it gives me an excuse to go back and spend hopefully an hour more with the game.

I know. I was lucky enough to get one of the last ones on Amazon from a third party, hours after passing up the chance to get it from Amazon cheaper and going to work and deciding to buy it after work. I snatched it up immediately as soon as I saw "4 left". By the time I finished my order it said "3 left". I was afraid it was going to be cancelled because I wasn't in time.
I know you can just go digital but I am not ready. Especially for Nintendo games. For some reason I just love having the box for Nintendo's games. As much as I'd love to have all my games digital on my Wii U. I wish there was a way to get a deep discount on the digital version if you own the disc. I know why it doesn't exist, but it's a shame. If I had the money I'd double-dip and get both a disc and digital version. Disc for future keeping and looking cool and digital for playing without swapping discs and faster loading.
I would literally pay a lot of money for a 5-disc Wii U changer. (An official one with software that takes care of the disc swapping.) They made them for cartridges back in the day. Shame they can't make them now for disc systems.
Alo, I'm really really REALLY sad I missed out on purchasing both of these:

I did the same thing I always go. Open the tab, contemplate about it, leave it open for a few days while I decide, and come back to it way too late. Fuck. I wanted those plashes so much.
I wonder if they'll ever restock.Adam Prime

Right?!
I mean they just replace Luigi as the pixel hunt? Do you GET anything for clicking on them and finding them?
Seriously. There's got to be something more...

I interpreted it as an extra gaming mode, where you need to click on the spot.

Yeah, I've been reading around. That's the way others seem to be intertuping it too. It's going to be another "game mode" or levels.
... I'm REAL bummed we didn't get a specific Captain Toad figure. Just a generic one, hmpfff.
lol
Seriously.
Not even multi-color/skins for Captain Toad, no coin rush mode in every level.
Not even a freaking mirror mode...
I don't know what I expected.
you expected them to tie a mirror mode to an amiibo?
I don't see why not
Substantial yet superfluous content that does not interfere with the main game.
At the end of the day.. everyone expected more than pixel art hidden so yeah..

Nope, unlike the other stages that one thankfully doesn't have a Challenge Time.
Also, for anyone struggling with Mummy-Me Maze Forever, I just uploaded the following video which explains the basics and provides some tips on how to make it to the very end:

Thanks!
In that case, I will attempt it tomorrow. If I am having touble, I will consult your video as well

I expected one additional level per amiibo (maybe only the mario line). Ah well, yeah, it doesn't sound too hot at the moment. Maybe there is more to it...

From what I gather it's basically the eReader but with awesome figurines instead of shitty cards. I'd love to get into collecting them but it's expensive and way too many of them become sold out way too fast. So why bother?

So lately I've been thinking...
Wouldn't it be awesome if this game had a level editor?
After all, since most stages simply revolve around collecting gems and a star, it seems like users could easily form their own levels by placing pre-made blocks (think Timesplitters, or even Minecraft) followed by the aforementioned collectibles.
The upcoming Mario vs. Donkey Kong game is doing something similar, so why not Captain Toad as well? Although the chances of an editor ever arriving by way of DLC or an update are quite slim, I would still love to see one in the seemingly inevitable sequel.
Are you listening, Nintendo? I sure hope so!

I beat it yesterday, but it took me two hours. Getting the amount of coins is not a problem at all.
If you do attempt it, just concentrate on getting through the stages fast (check the layout immediately when the stage appears and dash to the exit). You only need to collect coins till level ten or so. You will easily get the rest. The challenge is getting through at all.
But if you don't, I wouldn't blame you either. I was close to giving up, but thought the Captain deserved a proper sendoff.

You won't be designing 3D-levels in a Nintendo game any time soon. Way way way way waaaay too complex.

This game is so much fun and then I get to a level where I have to platform with one hand and touchscreen bullshit with another. I'd be more fucking impressed if Nintendo could make a game that doesn't horn in useless fucking crap like this. Seriously this shit wasn't fun 10 years ago on the DS and it certainly isn't fun now. It only hurts the overall experience and frustrates me to no end when I'm getting hit and killed by things right in front of me that I cannot see because of stupid fucking touchscreen crap coming up on my screen.

Which stage are you referring to?

Ahh, you're probably right!
I wasn't a huge fan of the touchscreen stuff either, but since most of it could be done while keeping your eyes on the TV it didn't bother me much. I did think it was silly how they forced you to look at the Gamepad during the mine cart levels, though. Seriously, what was the point of that? Why not just keep it on the TV?

Yeah, I enjoyed it too and for the most part that didn't bother me though
for the one Spinwheel level that has a Toad Brigade remix later on it was definitely annoying trying to manage that while making sure that none of the Toads would fall into the lava or get hit by a Bullet Bill or something when my display was obscured due to being near one of the stupid spinwheels. Fortunately I only died once to that junk, but it definitely made that level very annoying.
Would have been much better if the wheels didn't take up so much of the screen and only showed up to begin with if you tapped grab or something instead of showing up automatically when you were anywhere near them
The wheel displays on the Gamepad controller, not on the TV screen. Captain Toad is designed for dual-screen gameplay.

I beat the main game last night, sadly the bonus content seems a bit lazy for my liking.
Well, I expected better than just this... like changing Toad sprite into a new character I would've liked or give him a new skin. Something more you know...
So (assuming the pixel Toads is an extra gaming mode), you rather want a costume change than a extra gaming mode?
Toad Treasure Tracker is so modular, simple to make a level in, and as it's already at a cheap price, I would have thought that they would have made a new level for every Amiibo available.
Levels based on Duck Hunt, Earthbound, Fire Emblem, Pac Man, Sonic etc. I'd say the same for other puzzley games like Pushmo World.
So, the need to buy 48 amiibos to play all DLC levels?
