Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Japanese Original Title: 進 め! キノピオ 隊長, SUSUME! Kinopio-Taichō, German about Forward March! Troop Leader Toad ) is a riddle game, the Japanese video game manufacturer Nintendo in Europe on January 2, 2015 for the Wii U was released. On July 13, 2018, ports for the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch appeared, which in addition to the old levels new levels thematically build on Super Mario Odyssey as well as a two-player mode in the switch version included.
The Puzzle Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was a real insider tip for many in 2015. That was also the special look. The levels are small and nested, each camera swing reveals new perspectives and hidden ways. M.C. Escher in the mushroom kingdom, so to speak.
The block-like Level of Wonderbox are strongly reminiscent of these miniwelten from Captain Toad - only in Wonderbox less puzzles and more in the style of a Legend of Zelda explores and laid back!
What makes Wonderbox so special?
The Apple Arcade game Wonderbox may be best described as miniature adventure . The campaign is a classic good against evil history, which leads you through 33 worlds. The Clou: These worlds are tiny!
The playing fields are all built like dioramas, so like small model worlds. Due to their compactness, they act like loving miniature spending of classic fantasy scenarios: the castle, the medieval village, the dark cave full of trolls, it s all here - but in small. This limitedness makes the charm. You do not explore no wide areas, but explores every centimeter of your little world to estimate and secrets.
Even if the leveldesign reminds Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Wonderbox plays more like an action adventure. In Wonderbox you can not only go (unlike Captain Toad) before and back, special runs and hops very freely through the Level. Of course, there is still a lot of freedom of movement due to the compactness of course, so the worlds often feel like small action adventure show boxes .
This concept is also correct in multiplayer mode. There you can build your own little world. Whether desert palace or castle ruins - there are many ways to personalize and shape. You can build a miniature of the Coliseum in Rome or a small, cozy half-timbered village. Then you divel your level with others or hops in the best Mario maker manner in Level (or boxes , as they are hot in the game) from other players.
What awaits you in Wonderbox, you can also view in the trailer:
The tasks that expect you in these levels are often very light. Fight through the cave or reach the tower , for example. Nevertheless, numerous worlds are always created with very different personalities from the same simple building blocks.
For whom Wonderbox is interesting?
You like the look of puzzles like Captain Toad, Monument Valley and Fez , but at the same time have more fun in entertaining action and real-time struggles than on riddles and long exploration tours? Then you should take a closer look at Wonderbox. The worlds look great and spray before charm: Wonderbox understands the epic feeling of an action adventure in a very small room.
A look in Wonderbox is like a walk through a beautiful miniature world. Video games are getting bigger and bigger. Freedom of movement and non-linear games are almost a must. But does it always have to be completely New York? Or Greece? Or just the whole universe? No, Wonderbox says and proves with its charming miniature world, that bigger is not better.
Treasure Tracker assessment
Lukas Elstermann @ Thatlukaselster
I m a big fan of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and therefore I m very glad that an action adventure is now used the pretty miniature look. The mixture of puzzle and adventure works wonderfully. I like it very much how entertaining the individual adventures are. The only one level! Feeling comes up quickly. The worlds are beautiful and have this certain board game charm, which I liked with Captain Toad. In general, the design of Wonderbox has something very physical, as if I would move real toys through a hand-held model world. That s just fun, and leads me back a bit back to the nursery than created simple legotan epic universes.
