Nintendojo: The history of how Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker came to exist is incredibly fascinating. The games director, Shinya Hiratake, had initially conceptualized the game with Link as its star. Since the gameplay was meant to center around a character who couldnt jump, Link, who jumps very rarely in his adventures, would have been a perfect fit. Nintendo ultimately passed on the idea, but it wasnt forgotten. When it came time to develop Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo opted to take Hiratakes vision and implement it as a series of sub-levels starring Captain Toad from the Super Mario Galaxy games. The sub-levels were such a resounding success, Nintendo decided to finally let Hiratake develop his concept into an entire standalone title a title that is easily right up there with the best games on Wii U.
