Captain Toad first appeared in the original Super Mario Galaxy, but he became a playable character in Super Mario 3D World, where he starred in puzzle levels. This success led to his own game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. This game built upon the levels from Super Mario 3D World, tasking players with finding Power Stars by manipulating the game world to reveal hidden secrets. Originally released on Wii U in 2014, Treasure Tracker was later brought to the 3DS and Switch in 2018, allowing more people to play. Surprisingly, even eleven years after its first appearance, the game is still receiving updates.
