At first, it's as simple as running from one head-height wall to the next to avoid timed breaths of fire that push toward you, but soon you'll be climbing ladders, or hitting switches to extend moving bridges, and then all three.
The most frequently recurring gimmick is the goofy dragon "boss" stages that you'll encounter, and these work as well as anything to show the scaling challenge Captain Toad presents. Themed levels with their own aesthetics are introduced over time, and each establishes its own gimmick.
The simple concept of wandering around slowly, without vertical navigation, is iterated on again and again. While Captain Toad seems subdued by the measure of modern Nintendo releases like Mario and Zelda, at its core it's pure Nintendo. Enemies and obstacles have to be considered, and a "simple" slightly raised platform might be the whole crux of a stage's challenge. You can't see every part of a level from one angle - how you position the camera and where you look is always important. This is all very Mario, but the difference is in the details: You can't jump, and your walk is more like a waddle, even at full speed.Īs a result, Captain Toad is less about action, and more about deliberation. Using (Captain) Toad or Toadette, you explore diorama-style stages grabbing coins, crystals and, ultimately, a gold star to complete the level. If you played last year's Super Mario 3D World, you already understand Captain Toad's basic premise.
