Depending on your branch of service (in the US at least) a Treasure Captain would be outranked by a Treasure Admiral in the Navy or a Treasure Major in the other services.

Also this game is really good and everyone should play it. :v:

Actually, in the Treasure Corps of the Mushroom Kingdom, Treasure Captain is the highest rank, just because Captain Toad declared it to be so when he founded the Corps. Below it is Treasure Admiral, Treasure Brigadier General, Junior Treasure Commander Sr., and Junior Treasure Commander Jr., among others.

This game is visually appealing and adorable but it looks like an absolute chore to play.

It isn't really. The levels are short enough that replaying them to get missing gems/objectives isn't a chore. Plus the levels are filled with cute details and such, it's actually really relaxing.

At the bottom is "rear end in a top hat who never gets anything done because he's always sleeping on the job, Steve. Which is official due to the blue toad recording it verbatim.

The only thing that comes close to feeling like a chore are some of the challenges that have thin margins for error and there aren't a lot of them. Some of the end game is pretty challenging but it never feels like a chore.

Massrafter, you gotta agree that Nintendo went soft.

Nowadays all they release are easy cute kiddie games like this one.

I really, truly miss the day when they made challenging games with adult themes such as Superman 64. :v:

Spinwheel Library's music is so chill...

Actually, most of this game's music is really well done. It's reminiscent of Mario game music, but the pacing is a bit slower, which makes sense since your character doesn't have the same mobility as Mario.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
I have to say that I like that they took a simple idea that would have been ignored in most cases (a Mario game where you can't jump) and was able to make a whole game out of it. With a ton of creative levels designed around that idea. The bad thing about Captain Toad is that it's pretty short, but it's $40 instead of $60 so you are getting what you pay for.

Captain Toad finds out that stealth isn't as easy as it first appears and provides a new twist to water levels! Will he ever catch up to Toadette?

Actually, that's only the end of the first part. The second part features Wingo's mother seeking revenge for the Captain's murder of Wingo, and so, in retaliation, kills Brigadier General Toad's most trusted soldier, Æschere. Captain Toad is then sent out to Wingo's Mother's underwater lair to kill the beast and take her hoard of ancient, treasured swords.

What I find baffling about the game is that as short as it is, it doesn't even have multiple save files. I'd understand if it was a Pokémon with their complex RNG mechanics, but Captain Toad is maybe half as long as Mario 3D World...

Hulkamatt mentions there are not only "episodes" but only 3 of them to boot. :arghfist: I was wondering how many there would be. No biggie.

Only on episode one, having just started the game up the other day. You mentioned not knowing about running early on due to having a digital copy of the game and thus no manual? Well, like most Nintendo and frankly most games in general (in the US at least), the retail copy doesn't have a manual either. :( That prompt after the third or so level suggesting you take a look at the digital manual might've helped. But heck, discovery is an important part of adventure and no manual is going to tell you that can kill a Shyguy just by climbing down a ladder onto it! :3:

Does the third part involve a fight with a dragon that mortally wounds Capt. Toad, though, he still manages to slay it, and his squire is the only one of the company to return to tell the tale?
