Notice how the box has no Nintendo Network logo. And then remember how Captain Toad is basically a retail version of what would have been SM3DW DLC. There won't be DLC for this one.

Not with CT* but with NintendoLand disk**, during the early FW days. Happened a couple of times and was gone after a certain FW version came out, though I can't recall which one now.

I was really disappointed about it initially but I'm sure once I play it (it's out on the 3rd here) that I'll love it and not care anyway. Would've been nice to have something else to give a go, though. But yeah, not too phased, grabbing it anyway.
I'm about 12 levels into the game. It's super charming and gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside that only Nintendo EAD Tokyo seems to be able to provide.
They manage to make me feel nostalgic while continuing to offer unpredictable level design. I really don't know how they're able to get such variety into their games.

Yes, but this game takes it to extremes. They have the same variety and care put into them as the full platforming stages of 3D World. If you even slightly enjoyed those little 3D World Captain Toad levels, you'll love the full-featured ones in this game.
They're very lush, if that makes any sense.

not to mention, at least tue levels I've played, lack the 3DWorld time limit.
about smacked my entire apartment around on the minecart level

I'm getting pretty far into Episode 3. Is there a fourth?

well that's just made me super depressed, i didn't notice the network logo had gone.
As dlc is impossible I'm guessing/hoping that means captain toad 2 will be a full retail release in 2016.
This game has so much potential for a sequel.
They should really have created a co-op mode for this game. Levels designed for two players (think 'Splosion Man) would be so awesome, especially since the game is quite friendly for non-gamers. If camera controls were a problem, they could've used the TV and GamePad as separate screens.

I really disagree. Maybe you're amazing at the game or had some kind of sixth sense in order to know what the hidden checkmark was in each level. For me, I'd say I had to replay 90% of the levels at LEAST twice. And for a full 100% of *everything*, 13 hours seems remarkably low.

Of course there are water levels. But if you can't jump you also can't swim. There's no mechanical difference so if you have something against water levels because you hate swimming, the answer should effectively be "no, there are no water levels like that."
You already own Captain Toad 2 ;D
The goal was to make a game ready for release within a year. Thus, limited time means limited scope.

I just found out it's supposed to have Amiibo support, I may hold off on playing it until they get that sorted out.

TheMoon is eager to tell you there will be a separate thread when that happens.
I'm on my way to Tokyo right now. They need to tell us so people stop asking.

It seems like I'm almost done with this, just the bonus levels left now. I tried not playing it as much, but it was just too good. ;-;

I got to stage 25 of Mummy Maze tonight. 4200 coins so the 5000 coins shouldn't be hard but man it might take me a while to get to the end...
Oh most have the game, but wrote up a review if anyone wants to read

just for personal satisfaction/stars on the book covers, lol
I got through Episode 1 so far. Absolutely loving it. So so good. The diorama thing is just awesome. I managed to get all 3 gems and the tick on most first time with a bit of time and effort. Some things are super sneaky though.
Early-ish spoilers?
Early-ish spoilers?
My GF finished episode 1 first and turned the game off because she didn't want to watch all the credits. It really confused me when she said yup it finished after 18 levels since I knew there were more but I did it myself and am relieved
Ah ok, thanks.
It's just that I've been playing a lot of Mario games recently and the inking squids in those levels always get me and I have no clue how to predict their movement.
This game is soooooo what I needed. Total breath of fresh air.
I was thinking earlier how cool it would be if there was a "Wario's Woods" dlc episode. You would be able to shoulder charge things, but not jump. So you would have new stuff like block pushing puzzles and enemies or traps that hurt you if you charge from the wrong direction. Sort of like Sokoban meets Captain Toad.

This has full off tv play right? I looked in the OP but didn't see anything.
Yes, and I completed the hardest challenge while using it. <3

Yes it does. I'm playing almost 100% of it with just the gamepad.

Keep your distance and pass them while keeping as much of a distance. That's all, really.

I love this game.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
So, it's weird. I got the game for Christmas. I know the game is going to be awesome, and I loved the Captain Toad stages in 3D World. But I can't convince myself that I want to play the game. What's wrong with me?

You hadn't realized that this game is a lot better than the CT stages in SM3DW. Now you're ready.

I have the game and haven't played it yet. Working on the backlog. Still playing Smash.
It's a game. Just wait until it calls to you.
