Join Captain Toad in his globe trotting adventure to track down the infamous multi-dimensional criminal, Pixel Toad. The courts never forgave him for what he did, and neither has Captain Toad.

A neat gameplay idea executed well with a lot of level design ideas they threw at the wall. It all works, but by the halfway point of the third chapter I was pretty burnt out by it. There's like only a handful of chapter bonus objetives/gems/actual levels that are even mildy hard, and I found myself pretty bored most of the time, while occasionally enjoying the novelty of the puzzles.

Still, this game has a surprising amount of content in it. there's around 50~ levels in just the base game alone, most of which you'll have to play through 2-3 times to full clear. After beating the base game a hearty chunk of bonus levels open up, and there's also a whole dlc chapter that I got because I got this game when walmart fucked up and accidentally sold the base game and the dlc for the price of the dlc.

I've had my fill of captain toad, but i'll probably break it out whenever my power goes out and carve through the extra levels. You'll get your bang for your buck, and its a perfectly good game, but there's only so much gas you can get out of toad's tank.
