I tried Mummy Me Maze Forever a few dozen times and didn't quite make it to 4,000 coins. Finally gave up in favor of other games.

I did on the first two levels of the first book. Since then, nope. Doubt I'll try either.
If you just get the big piles of coins on the way to the goal box on each level, you should easily end up at much more than 4,000 coins after the very last level.

Yep, or like the new Kirby claymation-looking game.

I just found this on nippon-yasan:

When was this announced? Is this JP only?
I still need to get this game and a Toad amiibo bundle would be pretty cool since I'm also planning on getting one.
I think this was announced in the January Direct. Yes, this is Japan only (as far as we know).

Oh well...thanks anyway!
Woohoo just beat Mummy-Me Maze Forever, that was a million more times tough than Champion Road. What gave me the most trouble was the fire piranha plants, so annoying just remembering how many times they hit me, timing when to run had to be so precise to avoid getting hit by the fire.
Exactly how i did it, pretty much focused on getting to the exit.

Just started playing this the other day. Currently on Book 2, about 10 challenges in I think. Very fun challanges that vary in difficulty for me, awesome boards, and has such a 3DW and SMG feel to me. I have a 3DW save and love those bonus boards as well. At work and can't wait to play some more, so worth the money so far. Probably going to pick up Kirby after this. I love the 40$ tag.
I think I'll save myself the frustration and be done once I'm done with chapter 3. Beating Champion Road was tough enough!
It's not really tough per se but that level can get tedious really fast.
Plus it's extremely disheartening if you die when you already accomplished half the maze and since you only have a chance to get hit, all the enthusiam can simply go away just like that.
It's definitely not meant for everyone but I think you should give it a try at least to see if you like it or not.
They did do that. Someone posted a comparison shot somewhere in this thread.

Quick question. I just finished Episode 2 and I noticed that after I finished, the book has the three icons on it, since I got every level stamped, but there's no feather on the cover like on the Episode 1 book; it still says 2 on the cover. Is that normal? Am I missing something in one of the levels?

This was my biggest mistake. I tried for hours and hours to get every coin in every stage until I eventually just gave up and tried to make it to the end without dying, which I did without much trouble. I was easily in excess of the 5000 coins.

If you beat Book 2 you should have access to Book 3...

Mummy-me maze forever might be the "toughest" level I've ever played. If not for the fire piranhas, it was the blue shy guys that would get me. So many times I run under passage and get from not seeing anything there. Or the times I load up and see 2 charging chucks right next to me with no where to run. I've only gotten to about 3800 coins, but I think that's it. Incredibly frustrating to die and have to restart, and I just spent about 5 hours on that level. First modern Mario/Nintendo level I'm calling it a day on. Frankly, Champions Road was "easier" cause at least it wasn't randomly generated every time you restarted. The rest of the game was incredibly fun, but that level left a very sour taste in my mouth.
Yeah, the only way to consistently get past some enemies in Mummy Me Maze is to stun them. For that, I find the easier way is to put the Gamepad down, hold the B button with your pinky, tap with the index and move the camera with the ring finger. It isn't that hard.
I think MMMF was one of the most brilliant parts of Captain Toad, since it basically only needed a good strategy. After that strategy is found, you can beat it consistently.
IIRC, the fire piranha plants are at levels 21-24, and the shy guys are the 26-29 levels? Since you get level 21 and 26 "for free", you only have 3 level of each to concentrate on. And the trick is to
play those particular levels solely on the gamepad and stun each enemy while you go

I actually just beat it. Took me a few hours today as well, but I did it. My pride wouldn't let me not beat the level. What I did this time was play the whole thing on my Gamepad. I realized I could walk for most courses and be fine, and I used that stun move a lot. Blue Shy guys were actually no problem this time and even the fire piranha's become manageable to get around. What kept giving me trouble this time was the Chargin' Chuck levels, specifically 45. I got to it a few times before I beat it, but each time I was getting swarmed by the chucks. Eventually, I just started circling like mad with my right hand to stun what I could and was able to get through the level. And actually, once I passed that level I was able to get to the end no problem on my first try (there actually are fire piranha's on those last levels as well.)
Needless to say I'm less salty today, still a very frustrating level though. But time to put this game aside, very fun time with it and I'm looking forward to getting the Toad Amiibo (have it preordered) even if the bonus is fairly minimal.

I fired up the game today and didn't see the amiibo option anywhere.Is there some trick to getting it to trigger the update? Do I have to go to the eShop to get it?
updates have nothing to do with the eShop. just restart the game. it only auto-downloads updates if you've played a game recently (=1-2 months or so ago)

They're not challenges. You just play the game like normal and try to find the Toad sprite somewhere in the level. When you do, you get a thing on the menu. That's it.
IT'S HERE!?omg
Alright, cool. Thank you!

Day 1 of Treasure Tracker: "This is a nice little game."
Day 15 of Treasure Tracker: "This is a nice not-so-little game with a generous amount of content."
Day 30 of Treasure Tracker: "I've finally finished the third and final epi--there's another one? And there are time attack challenges that managed to elude my eyes until now? It never ends!"
I can't say I feel short-changed, but I think I'm just going to move on and make it my "I've got 15 minutes to kill" game, haha.
